better, braver because he lived. Truly, the clouds covered deep his life, yet he ever sought to show their silver lining.

Death does not end all. It is the beginning, not the end; the entering in, not the going out; the dawn of day, not the setting sun. We surround

death with dread and gloom, when, if life's work be well done, it is but the going into another room in the Father's house. Reason may not pierce the veil that hides the other world, but faith plants the flower of hope on every grave. Reason may weep out its wailing cry, "Dust thou art, to dust return," but faith links the present with eternity as she hears the words of Him who spake as never man spake: "I am the resurrection and the life. He that believeth in Me shall never die."

So we bid "Wallie" good night, not good by, for we shall meet in the morning of God's eternal day. For him that day has dawned and the shadows flown away, and we believe he has entered into the rest and peace his sufferings denied him here.

We extend to the loving, devoted wife and daughter our heartfelt sympathy in this hour of earth's greatest sorrow, and commend to them the unfailing love and comfort of Him who knows and cares and helps those who mourn.

GEORGE W. JACKSON.

Whereas, The union of our craft has lost by his death a stanch, capable and true exponent of the principles for which we stand and for the attainment of which he labored so zealously and successfully, our chapel a member we looked to with pride and one whom we considered it an honor to call friend; and,

Wallace, for many years a proofreader in the govern ment printing office, we have lost a friend and associate whom we held in high regard as a man who was faithful to his trusts, sincere in his friendships, and upright in all his dealings with his fellow man.

NORTH PACIFIC VAN CLEAVEISM.

A correspondent in THE TYPOGRAPHICAL JOURNAL notes the formation in Portland, Ore., of an employers' association, and in sequent paragraphs conflicting "declaration of principles" are reproduced:

To unify its members upon matters where united and concerted action and determined and fixed policy may seem wise and necessary.

To secure to employers and employes freedom of individual contract in the matter of employment, irrespective of whether or not an employer or employe is a member of any organization.

The "employers'" proposition of the second paragraph is nulled by the direct wording of the former, but the employe subscribing to its "freedom of individual contract" will that his freedom is sidetracked. Pittsburg, Pa.

SECRETARIES AND CORRE-
SPONDENTS.

Items for the official columns of THE JOURNAL should be prepared on a separate sheet, and the style of the paper followed as closely as possible. Such items should not be made a part of a letter dealing with other subjects, for if this is done the items are likely to be overlooked, even though the greatest care be exercised. Write as plainly as pos sible especially proper names-using one side of the sheet only. All official matter must be in the hands of the editor BEFORE

THE TWENTIETH OF

EACH MONTH, to insure insertion in the issue immediately following. The observance of the foregoing will tend to insure what is desired by allpromptness and accuracy in the publication of offi. cial matter.

Communications for the correspondence depart ment of THE JOURNAL must be in the hands of the editor BEFORE THE TWENTIETH OF EACH MONTH to insure insertion in the issue immediately following. No communication will be published that does not bear the full name of the writer.

THE JOURNAL MAILING LIST.

When a member requests a change in his JOURNAL address, he should give the name and number of the union with which he is affiliated, together with his present and former address.

Additions to the mailing list can only be made when received through the local secretary. Members not receiving the magazine should furnish the local secretary with their addresses.

Additions, corrections or alterations reported by local secretaries should be kept separate from other correspondence. When a member deposits his card, and his name is reported for the subscription list, the secretary should state where the member previously received THE JOURNAL, and give the name and number of the union with which he was affiliated. When a member draws his card, is suspended or expelled, or in any manner ceases to be an active member of the local, the secretary should request that his name be dropped from the mailing list.

A large number of those who take cards and re

move to unorganized towns fail to renew their cards. To prevent loss in such instances, it has been decided that members holding cards, and located outside of the jurisdiction of a local union, must either deposit their cards with the nearest union and pay dues each month, or pay Interna tional dues in advance, in order to get THE JOUR NAL. Where a cardholder pays his dues to the local in advance, a specific report should be made by the secretary upon the case, in order that the name can be placed on the list and the magazine sent to the member for the time for which dues have been paid.

The 25th of each month is the latest date upon which changes for the succeeding issue can be made on our mailing list.

Upon request, secretaries will be furnished with a copy of the list of their members to whom THE JOURNAL is being sent.

All correspondence regarding THE JOURNAL should be addressed to J. W. Hays, Newton Claypool building, Indianapolis, Ind.
