Senator Hoar's return to the Senate.
unopposed so far as his own party is
concerned, is gratifying in more ways
than one. Massachusetts has many
able men but none who immediately
could be as useful in the Senate as her
present senior senator. He has the
experience. training and mental equip
ment requisite to able treatment of
national questions, likewise the in
tegrity which assures a conscientious
performance of his public duties.
His attitude toward the Philippine
problem has not been in accord with
the large majority views both of his
constituents and of the country. But
he has stood up manfuliy. though at
times he seemed, even to very many of
his admirers. pitiably weak in logic
and intensely prejudiced.
He has not, however. been among
those who took up the question for
political purposes. and however much
we may disagree with his conclusions
we must concede the rugged honesty
of his motive and his high courage Il.
standing by his convictions
Throughout the disposition of the
questions certain to arise respecting
our occupancy of the Philippine
islands there is bound to be criticism.
and there is no man in Congress TODAY

The men who have gone before US
Have sung the songs we sing.
The words Of our clamorous chorus,
They were heard Of the ancient king.
The chords Of the Tyre that thrill us.
They We're struck in the years gone by,
And the arrows Of death that kill US
Are found where our fathers lie.
The vanity Sung Of the Preacher
Is vanity still today:
The moan Of the stricken creature
Has wrung in the woods AWAY.
But the songs are worth resinging
With the change OF no single note,
And the spoken words are ringing
As they rang in the years remote.
There is no new road to follow, Love.
MOI need there ever be.
For the old. with its hill and hollow
Love,
Is enough for you and me.
