THE WEAVERs

Josephine Preston Peabody. NFA All day I walk among the crowd, < Seeking the Weavers. Well l wot This monday, staring blank and hot, Is not for them; yet in a cloud Of men I wander-call aloud. All day l seek, and find not. <, To, every night the Weavers come, And one by one, and silently, a With eyes downlooking timidly, They steal into the darkening room, Bent forms and held against the gloom, With faces gray as mystery. Dim faces have the Weavers-eyes Of patience that do seem to shun The waning light, as one by one They come what way the shadow lies. Like long imprisoned memories That dare not look upon the sun. With flickering smiles of gentleness, Finger on lip, they come; and soon Beneath the shuttles lowly croon fl The silence growth less and less, H As dark before the loveliness Of a slow-rising summer moon.
 
 The shuttle slngeth. And fair things Upon the web do come and go; Dim traceries like clouds aglow Fade into cobweb glimmerings, A silver fretted with small wings The while voice Is singing low.
  The quiet yielding up its sweet To a great laughter; winds arise; Wild birds awaken alien skies, Fl And in a tremulous outer heat The pulses of the summer beat To the deep hum of dragon-fies. "Lo, the Life-glory, 1t hath comer An, Soul, who laughed aloud at thee? Nay, not the Weavers. Mystery! Was it shuttle, broken, dumb? Nought is there, nought in all the room Save daylight and its vacancy. Last night the Weavers came and went Ay me, so fair web was wrought, All winged hopes within 1t caught! And ere the colors were forespent< The blank day snatched thS-jo they lent. Day, staring like a thing distraught. l seek the Weavers. As I go, All faces save their own I see, But not their gentle company Never their smiles that flicker so, Theirs are the only eyes l know; All other folks are strange to me.

SMASHING THE TRADITIONS

From the New York World.
 The three chief facts about Professor Hadley, the new president of Yale univer- sity, are:
 That he is only 43 years old;
 That he is not clergyman-the first ex- ception to the supposedly ironclad rule as to the qualifications of a president of Yale;
 That he is not a professor of Greek or Latin or philosophy or any of the so-called "culture' branches of education, but of political science the science of govern ment in it's broad sense, which includes all kinds of public action.
 Thus one of the greatest and most con- servative of Americas old universities has at one stroke broken from those time- honored traditions.
 The selection of q head for such an in- stitution of enlightenment as Yale is an event of widespread interest and impor- tance. This particular selection is almost sensational as a revelation of the drift of this energetic, tradition-rejecting, scien- tific age.

TO BE ANOTHER EXTRA SESSION
;necial to Columbus Enauirer-Sun.

Special to Columbus Enquirer-Sun.
 Montgomery, Ala, May 22.-Is there going to be another extraordinary session of the legislature? I hear that there is a likelihood that the solons will be recalled to Montgomery and all on account of that marginal entry business. It is possible that Judge Sayre may sustain the mandamus proceedings in the alleged tampering with the house journal and that the supreme court will not reverse the decision. In that event, it would require a session of the legislature to legalize the assessments made under law declared to be unconstitutional by reason of those marginal entries. But then the great state of Alabama has plenty of the long green, and Montgomery would be delighted to have the lawmakers spend the summer with us.

UNCLE sAM's DOUBLE ACTION

From the Nashville American.
 Uncle Sam has two strings to his bow and is using both of them in the Philip pines. While President Schurman and the other peace commissioners are trying the efficacy of persuasion, General Otis is aid- ing the cause of peace by maintaining mill tary operations and preparing for others. General Otis and the Philippine commis- sion are striving for the same results, and are working in harmony.

the United States to Great Britain, ties
which, he eaid. would be still further i'm

American raw materials. In this connection
he observed that despite recent events the
United States was "in close sympathy" with
