policy and national legislation. If the
Maryland senator issues challenge
to make injustice to the negro lead
ing issue in the next presidential cleo
ton, it will be taken up quicker than
he dreams. Already we have from
President Roosevelt the emphatic as
surance that he will not shun that con-
test. He is reported as saying that if
he could be assured of reelection on
the condition of turning his back on
the principles of Abraham Lincoln, he
would be incapable of making the bar
gain, and would be unfit to be presi-
dent if he could think of doing such
thing. That he should take so un-
equivocal and manly a stand is only
what we should have expected from
so outspoken champion of fair play
and equal rights.

MY friend aveh you heard Of the town Of
Nogood.
On the banks OF the River Slow.
Where blooms the waitawhile flower fair.
When the sometimeorother scents the air.
And the soft Goeasys growf
1t lies In the valley OF Whatstheuse.
In the province Of Letterslide;
Thattiredfeeiing IS native there.
It's the home Of the reckless Idon'tcare,
Where the Giyeitups abide.
The town Is a. old as the human race,
And It grows with the flight OF years,
IL Is wrapped Ia tho fog Of idler's dreams.
It's streets are paved with discarded schemes
And sprinkled with useless tears.
The coIIegebredfool and the RIchman'saeir
Are plentiful there, no doubt;
The rest Of its crowd are motley crew
With every class except one in view
The ToolkiIler is barred out.
The town of Nogood is all hedged about
By the Mountains Of Despair,
No sentinel stands on Its gloomy walls,
No trumpet to battle and triumph calls,
For towards alone are there.
Ny friend, from the dead-a live town Nogood
II you would keep far away,
Just follow your duty through good ana III
Take this for your motto. 81 can, WILL"
