Faint comes the melody, sweet like dream
Oft have I wandered far, eager to look
On face of Naiad song queen OF the brook.
Patiently toing through sunshine and shade,
Striving to catch cen a glimpse OF the maid
Now has the kodak unto revealed
Features long sought, the place she's concealed.
Siren of woodland stream, shy tho you be,
Hush not the Tilt of your sweet melody
Murmuring soothngly all the day long.
Drear would the mountains be without your song;
Even the bird and the bee the wing
Tune their soft notes the song that you sing
Sing to them ever O. nymph OF the dell;
Sacred your home shall be, I'll never tell.

Pathetic Plea Not Lost

Governor Folk once told of lawyer
In Arkansas who was defending
young man of malodorous record. Ig-
noring the record, however, the coun-
sci proceeded to draw a narrowing pic
ture of the ite-haired, aged father
in st. Louis, awaiting anxiously the
return of the prodigal son to spend
the Christmas holidays with him.
"Have you the hearts," detained the
lawyer to the jury, ito deprive the
poor old man of this happiness?'
The jury, however, found the pris-
oner guilty. Before passing sentence
the judge called for the prisoners Jail
record and after a careful examination
of the same he blandly observed:
81 find that this prisoner has some
five previous convictions against him.
Nevertheless. 1 am happy to state that
the learned counsel's appeal will not
remain unanswered, for 1 shall COM
NIT the prisoner to the Little Rock jail,
where, at the present moment, his aged
parent is serving a term of ten years.

to pass the ensuing Christmastide un-

POIICQ| Comment.
Money In Campaigns.

The bill which has just passed the
House to prohibit corporations from
contributing to the funds of parties in
political campaigns is certain to be-
come law. Last summer the Senate
passed bill on the same general line.
The House bill makes one change in
the Senate measure, and that proposes
an increase in the penalty for viola
ton. A quick agreement on the bill
will be reached between the two
branches. AS the President. in several
messages, has urged law covering
this ground, the bill will be promptly
signed when he gets hold of it.
Under the bill as it has passed each
branch, national banks and all other
corporations organized by any law of
Congress are forbidden to contribute
money TO be used In any canvass in
which officials are TO be elected. And
corporations of all sorts, whether char
tered by nation, state or municipality.
are prohibited from giving any money
In connection with an election in which
presidential electors or members of Ell
Their branch of Congress are to be voted
for, or in which Legislatures are to be
chosen which will elect United States
senators. 1t is not easy to see how
Congress could go any farther than it
has now done in its work of shutting
off the financial supplies from cam
paign managers, for the penalties pre-
scribed for violation of the law are
heavy, and they are to be dealt out to
the giver and the receiver of the con-
tributions.
This law will undoubtedly diminish
the use of money in elections. As there
are no good reasons to suppose the
money which has been used heretofore
was employed to corrupt the voters, the
reform which this act will bring may
not be quite so large as its projectors
imagine. Campaigns under the modern
conditions cost a good deal of money.
Somebody has to put this money up
The legitimate expenses of running a
canvass are necessarily heavy, and if
the cash supply for paying the ex-
penses of campaign managers, for send
ing out literature, and for putting spell
binders on the stump is cut off we will
have to revert to the primitive meth
DDS Of the anterebellion days. Will this
transformation improve politics? We
are inclined to think that it will not.

President and Tariff.

If the President had desired to open
the tariff question he would not have
hesitated to do so in his recent mes
sage. But we find one of the longest
messages on record without a mention
of the word tariff. One paper, the Des
Moines Register and Leader, is of the
opinion that the President suppressed
his tariff views because of fear that
some one would thwart his other re-
forms if he opened the tariff. This is
the most ignoble motive that has so far
been attached to any one of the Presi-
dents acts. Mr.. Roosevelt is not that
sort of a coward. The paper in ques-
ton simply makes him appear as a
coward in order to sustain it's own con-
tentions on the tariff.-Cedar Rapids

awaiting additional installments. Miss
Tarbell is evidently thoroughgoing
progressive" She displays about as
much affection for the American sys-
tenn of protection as the average tariff
ripper cares to confess. Her purpose is
evidently to arouse and intensity popu-
lar feeling against protection, and in
doing this she is not always careful as

the board. The members of the board
are to hold for term of five years after
the first appointment. Tuition shall not
exceed the actual cost of instruction, ex-
elusive of cost of buildings, fixtures.

The Right Slogan.

Tom Reed once said that it was easy
enough to frame a satisfactory tariff
bill in your own mind, but when you
came to frame it in Congress it was
different proposition. That is the stu
alton exactly, and we had better be
content with what we have rather than
tC fly to evils we know not of. Every
one is prosperous, and attempted tariff
revisions might prove disastrous and
upset our whole kettle of fish. SO for
the present Let we'll enough alone"
would seem to be the real patriotic slo-
gan on tariff matters Melrose Mass

Says Prayer Is Too Long.

The prayers delivered at the opening
of, the Legislature are too long to suit
the convenience of the legislators, it is
said. The Socialists in particular declare
that prayer to open the session is a use
less formality and want the ceremony
eliminated entirely. One pastor at the
beginning of the session this winter, took
twenty minutes to tell what the nation.
the legislators and others desired in the
way of material and spiritual prosperity
and the members became somewhat un-
easy before the time was over. A hint
was quietly given the pastors, but the
story has leaked out.
