Did You Hear Tommy Reed
LESSON LvI. ON OUR HARBoR


Did you hear Tommy Reed? rather think
That Tommy Reeds us all into the drink /:
And those who marched through seas of
dirty slush
To hear Tom Reed last fall-say! do they
blush?
Don't you suppose Tom Reeds his title
clear
A trifie better than he did last year?
And don't you think that teacher Coils
knows
The Golden Rule works better far than
When teaching Tommy how to Reed his
psalm?
1t soothes the voice to gild an itching
palm.
But can Tom Reed the omens in the sky?
1t seems that he can Reed one word, and
that is 81"
God save our nation! when the petty few
Can thwart the multitudes who wish
When knaves and thieves in legislative
halls
Divide the gold that flows when honor
falls!
When mighty trusts grow fat while people
weep
And plead in vain for work. and starving
creep
And worship at the throne of Liberty!
Dear Liberty is dead! Look you and see!
Turn back the robe that once our goddess
wore,
See there the chains concealed! Ask you
for more?
Gaze in the hollow eyes of those who toll
And win the boundless harvests from the
soil,
And profit not! Go you where labor stands
And see the calling fetters on it's hands!
Then go you to the rich, whose wantonness
Is Haunted in the face of dire dstress
Then. weep with me. where Liberty lies
prone!
'Tis Tyranny that now usurps her throne
And Liberty is dead! Oh fools Oh fools
You worship but the name not that
which rules!
For true l tell you, Liberty is dead
When honest labor pleads I'm vain for
bread,
And dies in want in lands where harvests
rot!
God pity those who see and know it not
God pity all! We are all fools, or knaves,
For Liberty is dead, and we are slaves!

HOW TO AVERT CRIME

There were three murders one night
last week in Mobile, Ala. The New York
World observes that crimes of violence
increase there in hot weather. The Chi
cago papers are full of stories of the
boldest kind of hold-ups accompanied in
many instances with personal violence.
The Kansas City Star says that the
warm weather is doubtless responsible
in large degree for the suicidal mania
that has developed in that city. Returned
er that prevails in Alaska during the
brief summer in that country is much
more trying to the human system than
is the intense cold of the winter this,
other things being equal, and, there
fore, that men are more inclined to des-
perate deeds. A search through the
newspapers of all the large cities would
doubtless reveal this same popularity
that the combined effects Of heat and hu-
midity tend to deeds and crimes of vio-
lence.
This regrettable condition makes a
very interesting study in the abstract,
for the sociologist, the penologist and the
climatologist. The latter would be es-
pecially interested in comparing the con-
ditions that prevail in Southern Califor-
mia with those obtaining in the distressed
portions of the east, where the weather
seems to have laid an embargo on good
ness.
Here humidity is conspicuous by
reason of its absence, and the
heat never gets so intense that
it is really hot. The summer
season in Los Angeles, for instance, does
not conduce to an increase in crime.
People here are as happy and law -abid-
ing in the summer as they are in the
winter.
The moral of this widely contrasting
condition. if there be such a thing as a
moral in condition, is that people who
wish to lead peaceful and happy lives
should come to Southern California to
live. Here they get all the blessings of
summer without the added contingency
of hot-weather crime.

One of the smaller western colleges
has been suffering from an epidemic Of
parallelism of thought" Three times
in six years the winner of the most
coveted oratorical prize has been con-
victed of stealing the grafton that he
delivered as his own. 1t was in the
latest instance that the committee Of
Investigation substituted the foregoing
9uphemistic expression for the harsher
word of plagiarism. One of the most
foolish offenses a student can commit
is to endeavor to palm off the writing
Of another person as his own. He is
almost sure to be caught, and in that
event the stain on his reputation is
indelible If he is not detected he
starts out in life under false colors, and
such "a start is usually greater mis-
fortune than to be caught and dis

A bulletin of the California Experi-

orus sorts. Imagine the surprise of a
