DEAR LITTLE FACE.

Dear little face so full Of trust
That now is all believing,
Dear little face that some day must
Find life filed with deceiving,
Dear little face that draws to mine
Nor dreams of dreaded danger,
Would l could keep you to the end
To disappointment stranger
Dear little face that asks to know
The mystery of living,
Dear little face that years will show
That life was made for giving,
Dear little face where lines will grow
And deepen with life's sadness,
Would l could keep you from the low
Replacing grief with gladnessl
Dear little face, how can you meet
A world, strong men defying?
Dear little one, why must you hear
The sOrrowing and crying?
Dear little face-I dare not dream
But praying here above you,
/ draw you closer in my arms
God knows how we'll | love you'll

Armor Plate Trust Gets Half.


The armor plate trust won out In its
fight with the rival Midvale company
and has been awarded one-half thu
armor plate contract, The Midvale
company's bid was SAT a ton lower
than the lowest competitors bid and
sos a ton lower than the highest bidder
proposed to supply plate for, but, Of
course, the powerful trust interests
were too potent with a Republican ad-
ministration to be turned aside. There
is some satisfaction that the trust had
to accept the same price as the Midvale
company offered, which is 5000 a ton
less than was charged the government
before there was competition.
1t is almost as difficult to dislocate a
trust from connection with the United
States treasury when In charge Of
Republican administration, as it would
be to remove a mountain. Remember
that this is a reform administration
which boasts of its square dealing on
all occasions. but wnen It comes to
squelching a trust there is a compro-
mise. by which the defeated trust is
given half the profit Is that a square
deal for the Midvale company?
