Notwithstanding Kansas has time and again passed

Secretary Coburn Of Kansas with limited channel fo
reuaion denies this and opines that Secretary Wilson

The chances are that Secretary Wilson was not mis-
quoted He probably trimmed down his real feelings in
the matter He doesn't think Kansas is much good That
IS evident Unfortunately Kansas he occupies posi-

and the weight Of authority.
But what's the odds? Similar calunnies have occurred

years, not occasionally but with regularity

From May-time and the cheerful dawn;
A dancing shape, an image gay,

I saw her upon nearer view,
A spirit. yet a woman, too
Her household motions light and free,
And steps Of virgin-Hberty;
A countenance in which did meet
Sweet records. promises as sweet:
A creature not too bright or good
For human natures daily food,
For transient sorrows, simple wiles.
Praise, blame. love, kisses, tears and
smiles.
Ard now I see with eye serene.

a being breathing thoughtful BREATH
