"A PSALM OF COAL"


(with apologies to Mr.. Longfelow.)
Tell me not in mournful numbers
Coal is missing from your bin.
And the soul will freeze that slumbers
II II has no diamonds in.
Life Is real. life Is earnest.
And the grave is not its goal
For the poor.for them II burnest
Was not spoken OF the coal.
No enjoyment,-all is sorrow.
Now our destined or way.
Though expectant each tomorrow
Finds us worse off than today
Wood is high and time is neeting,
And our hearts though stout and brave
Still like big bass drums are beating
For the barges on the wave.
In the worlds broad field OF battle.
In the strikes Of modern life,
BE not like other easy people.
BE baron in the strife.
Trust no dealers. howe'er pleasant,
Let the froz past bury it's dead
Sleep all night and then at present
Stay TIL dog days in your bed
Lives % great trusts all remind us
We can make our lives sublime.
And In freezing leave behind US,
Chillblains on the sands OF time.
Chillblains that perhaps another
Sailing Ger life's sea alone.
There get wise and by next summer,
Have a coal yard OF his own.
Let US then be up and doing
Those about Us 10 their fate,
Still achieving. still pursuing.

The Voice of
The People
THE QUESTION OF TAXATION.

THE QUESTION OF TAXATION.
Editor Providence News:
Looking over a New York newspaper
or Sunday last / see that four dukes and
the Church OF England own most OF the
valuable real estate in the heart Of the
city OF London and that Lord Salisbury
owns a vast area in the east end or slums
where rents are high.
The article winds up by saying as the
landlords OF England are the lawmakers
the taxes are very low.
Now. my reasons for bringing this TO
your attention. Mr.. Editor. is that your
paper claims to be In the interest OF all
the people and what | wish To call your
attention To is the unjust method OF taxa
tion In the city OF Providence
Now | have a small property which Is
taxed To its full value, while / know and
can quote instances where the property
OF rich men Is not taxed for more than
a quarter and I'm some cases not one
tenth OF the asking value.
All citizens are supposed TO be equal
before the law and the tax assessor but
there are a thousand small taxpayers in
the city OF Providence who will voice my
opinion that we are not. and that there
is class legislation right here In Provi-
dence.
I we'll remember some years ago in pre-
sentng check for my taxes to one OF
those lordly fellows who are called clerks
In the city hall: II was refused.
I said, You do take checks here for
taxes"
"Oh. yes: We take checks from men who
are well known. such as the Goddards and
Iveses."
I told him in a very loud tone Of voice
that ] was equal before the law apparent
ly as any rich man I'm Providence, and
my check was good until he knew Il
wasn't. After a war OF words the
treasurer came along and said. "Of
course-take his check"
1t did me good to see that dude come
down of his perch.
Now IL Is the cause OF n great deal OF
side talk why we are taxed to the limit
on the outskirts and centrally located
property is not taxed one-quarter and
less OF its value. Perhaps you have other
readers who will echo my voice I'm this
matter. Yours. j. f. BARRY.
