The pale and misty particles of Time
rover about US scarce our eyes can see
Youths far-oR dream of what we were
to be.
Life's truth, which once we would redeem
with rhyme,
Has proved instead a world-worn panto-
mime.
The running river of expedIency
Has drowned the hopes that Fortune held
In fee.--
Why fall upon the track SO many climb
Why strive to speak what all the earth has
heard?
Why labor at work the ages plant
Life has been lived so oft an outworn
thing
Then bark The time-sweet carol Of bird
New as flower; and see-ah, shame to
man -

ASPIRATION.

The full throat Of the world Is charged With
song,
Morning and twilight melt with ecstasy
In the high heat OF noon. Simply to be,
Palpitant where the green spring forces
thropg,
Eager for life, life unashamed and strong
This Is desire fulfilled. Exalted, free,
The spirit gains her. ether, scornfully
Denies existence that is dark or wrong.
This Is enough, to see the song begun
Which shall be finished in some field afar.
Laugh that the night may still contain a
star,
Nor Idly moan your impotence of grace.
Life Is song, lift up your care-free face
Gladly and gratefully toward the sun.

VIM. 0. RAILS DEAD
DIED SATURDAY MORNING OF
ACUTE dAsTRITUS.

The public was greatly shocked
on Saturday morning to learn that
one of our most prominent citizens,
Mr.. w. o. Rails, was dead. lie
had been sick for about a week
with acute gastritus, but COM
paratively few Of his townsmen
knew of his illness, From the
FIRST he was violently i'll and
suffered greatly and nothing that
loving friends or skilled physicians
could do availed to give relief.
Mr.. Rails was an excellent man
of many admirable qualities Of
heart and mind, and was highly
esteemed by all who knew him.
He had been in Arcadia only few
years, coming here from Orlando.
He acquired a number of fine
orange groves in and about Ar
cadia, where he made his home on
the Thomas grove. He was a
member of the board Of trustees OF
Arcadia schools, member of the
Loan and Trust Co., of this city,
and will be much missed in bust
ness circles.
He leaves to mourn his loss a
wife and four children, two
brothers and a mother, to whom
we extend sympathy in this great
bereavement.
Funeral services were held at the
Baptist church on Sunday after
noon. Rev. Robertson preaching

Explicit contradiction has been
given to the report that new
treaty was to be negotiated with
Japan providing for the exclusion
of Japanese laborers from this
country. A denial of such state
ment is hardly necessary. The
urgent question Of the present mo-
ment is the segregation Of Japanese
school children on the Pacific
coast. Until this is settled there
can be no consideration of new
treaty, especially one which would
put the Japanese in the same po-
sition of outlanders, now occupied
by the Chinese, When the school
question is settleds it may be time
to talk about a Japanese exclusion
treaty but certainly not until then
In the whole disturbance that
has been raised over the japanese
question, nothing aroused more
interest and more acrimonius dis
cussion than the statement of the
President that if necessary the
military force of this country
would be used in protecting Japa-
nese interests on the coast. This
naturally brought up the whole
discussion of States rights. Imam
interview which he had with Sem
ator Perkins Of Caliafornia this
week President Roosevelt explain
ed that this phrase did not have
the direful meaning attributed to it
in many quarters, and that what
he had intended to say was merely
that military force. would be used
lif necessary in order to protect
japanese subjects from any physi-
cal violence.
The Rivers and Harbors Con-
gress is meeting in Washington
this week. There are delegates
from all over the country, all OF
whom are intensely interested in
getting through a River and Har-
Dor appropriation bill at the pres
ent session. OF course, the inter
est of the Convention extends to
Iafl rivers aud harbor work, but it
seems to have made dead set in
favor Of the proposition for a deep
waterway canal between the Great
Lakes and the Gulf Of Mexico.
The interest of the convention in
this measure was indicated by the
fact that Is out of the twenty
officers elected were from the region
inside the Mississippi watershed
Such deep waterway would take
advantage IN a large part of the
/ Mississippi River itself, but there
would be a very large amount Of
Canal work necessary in addition,
1t is claimed by the promoters Of
the enterprise that such a water
way would, in the course OF the
year. carry a larger tonnage both
in bulk and value than the Panama
canal, when that is constructed.

FUNNY, ISN'T IT.

There are some funny things cou-
nected with our postal department. For
instance, we pay the railroads eight
times as much, pound for pound, for
carrying the mails as the express COM
panies pay. And we pay rent for
mail cars equal to an annual interest
of about 100 per cent on the cost of
the cars.
Under our postal laws we can not
mail a package weighing over four
pounds to any point within the United
States. But you can send an eleven
pound package from Lincoln to New
Zealand by mail for s1.36, and at the
New Zealand destination it will be
delivered at the door of the party to
whom it is addressed. If you want to
send an eleven pound package from
Lincoln to any other town, no matter
how close, you either have to send
it by express, freight or special mes
senger The postofice will not carry It.
But it isn't so funny, after all.
The railroad companies and the ex-
p1 ess companies manage it. The ex-
press companies carry the four-pound
package cheaper than the postal de-
partment will. But when the package
weighs over four pounds the express
companies stick it onto us in fine
shape. The railroad hand appears when
you know that the express companies
are merely side lines for the railroad
companies.
Last year we paid the railroads ap-
proximately $40, 00O,0 900 for transporting
the mails. Think CT this for min
ute, and then perhaps you can under
stand why the railroads are SO inter-
ested in controlling congress and the
postal department.
| Uncle Sam borrows money and pays
from 31a to per cent on it. He
issues bonds as an evidence of his in
