DELAWARE WILL.
Anywhere within our shores


Anywhere within our shores.
In days gone by the people went
From many miles around.
And there. their time and talent spent
In worship most profound.
The aged sire and younger man,
The lad and maiden fair.
Would make most nrodlgious clan.
When al assembled there,
Went horseback too. the style those
days,
And footmen not few.
Went tramping on the crude highways
AS seldom now days do.
The young man, and the maiden fair,
Cultured those days as now,
OF manly pride and virtue rare,
Though from a farmers plow.
He. sat ahorse with grace and skill.
And she the lady's saddle,
And spurn the thought as she does
stin,
That she could ride a staddle.
Who were those noble ancient sires
That mingled with that throng,
That read the psalms and turned their
Tyres,
For praises loud and long.
Wen make a pause till we can think,
And some OF them recall,
And to the chain, add link to link,
We cannot name them ALL
From every quarter hence they came,
From north, south, east and west,
And every Sunday just the same
AS If last time was best.
Down from st. Georges, seven miles,
Where frssss Of pride and thrift
Came with their weekly greeting
smiles.
A Clark or Nandegrift.
From Bidd.a's Corner and Hickory
Grove,
Among other places given.
Their loyalty and zeal to prove,
Came Biddle, Vail and Craven.
Then over about Mt Pleasant,
While over the list we run,
Who's coming was quite incessant
Were Pogue and Jamison.
Then from McDonough I must say,
To name all wish I could.
Was the venerable Uncle Gasaway
And likewise John NJ. Wood.
Then over on the Delaware river,
Round and about Port Penn.
There was many an honest Cleaver,
As now. was also then.

our finite minds. while thus imbued,
It serves our ears to tickle.
Without the thought OF better things,
Upon our hearts engraved.
We lose the benefit IL brings,
or might become depraved.
So let us turn. and change the phase,
To things Of different feature.
And Tor moment attempt 20 gaze
Into the unknown future.
AS travellers TO an unknown world.
AS creatures OF a moment we
Might without warning. soon be
hurled.
Into eternity.
But If our hopes on Christ we hang
With our inmost powers employed.
II Will not bring to us a pang,
or leave an aching void.
So let us. ever keep in mind.
Through all our harmless Elee,
That God who rules is good and kind.
And means that we should be.
Oh. that Il could by all be seen,
The workings Of HIS hand.
How great He Is. how good has been,
Could all thus understand.

Hopefully did we thus proceed,
Under no guise OF nom-de- plume
Knowing that we must not presume
In thoughts of earning poets fame
Leave initials here to spell.

Drawers, old Drawers, the name Of
a creek,
with a course 50 crooked and wind

Who's waters are Just as muddy and
thick.
AS any Of all our finding.
Her waters which flow toward the sun
set.
And ebb toward its rising.
OF quality very much inclined to be
wet,
A thing not at all surprising.
Old Drawers creek, n slothful stream.
BY muddy margins bounded,
The object OF a huntman's theme.
Where huntsmans gun has sounded
Her waters meandering through bush
and bog,
To give the kind their drink.
And coursing back through mist and
fog.
To her mother Appoquiniminl.
Beneath her waters the hnny tribe,
Grows, sun-fish, catfish, eel,
The motley crowd couli not describe.
That's made Of them a meal.
The yellow belly, and speclSle back,
Ting-tang and terapin.

Make up the perfect din.
The bull-frog too. that toothsome dish
As found within the border,
Throws in the shade the best of FISH,
When bill of fares in order.
Here's muskrat in his mud made hut
And snapping-turtle crawling.
Where railbird and the marsh he;

And BOBBY owls are calling.
There the raccoon and oppossun

Grey squirrel, quail and rabbit,
Have caused the hunters dog to howl
According TO their habit
Anglers, trappers, and Eunners,
Go tramping through mud and brusl
To kill or catch those runners,
AS wildly on they rush.
They hail from the nearby village,
And we knew some Of them.
That bush and brush did pillage
or a current strong did stem.
There was Baker. Morgan and Hyatt
And a Captain George Naudain,
And others would sometimes try it,
When they did so incline.
Then think Of the ancient church itscil

Worshipped with sweet accord.

Federal Powers Extended
By q Rooseveltian Congress

Hardly was the Fifty-ninth congress
under full Roadway last January when
it became apparent that much muck
raking had prepared favorable soil for
the propag cation of remedies either con-
ceived or adopted by President Roose-
welt. His message had struck the key
note Of the session by insisting on
federal regulation Of interstate rail-
road rates. A bill to this end, introduc-
ed by Hepburn Of Iowa, was put
through the house, FEB. s, without
Democratic opposition, the Democrats
claiming priority in advocating the
policy for which it stood. Aldrich and
Foraker led the conservative opposi-
ton in the senate. securing numerous
amendments and forcing the president
to a virtual Democratic coalition. The
Allison an endment for a broad court
review brought about degree of Re
publican harmony, however, and the
bill passed the senate, FEB. is, u to
3. 1t was signed JUNE 90.
Public opinion had been SO stirred by
the realistic picture Of Chicago's pack
ing house horrors in Upton Sinclairs
socialistic novel, seThe Jungle" that

later was made public to force house
action. Amended so as to place costs
on government and omit label dates,
the bill became law.
One other important measure involv-
ing the use Of new federal powers was
the pure food bill. 81
Under the leadership Of Speaker Can
non q Republican insurrection against
joint statehood for Arizona and New
Mexico was crushed. The bill finally
emerged from conference under com
promise agreement providing for the
admission of Oklahoma and Indian
Territory as the state of Oklahoma and
authorizing Arizona and New Mexico
to hold plebiscite Oh soint statehood
next fall. This became aslaw JUNE 16..
Other important measures enacted
We're: To authorize the eighty-fiye foot
lock canal across the isthmus to au-
thorize construction of the Lake Erie
and Ohio ship canal, to place dena tured

Liberal Aspirations Sway
Governments Of the Old World

a A survey of the various nationalities
shows a decided drift toward liberal
institutions and standards.
ENGLAND. To begin with, the cleo
ton Of a new British parliament last
January resulted in an overwhelming
victory for the Liberal party, qualified
only by the sudden rise Of a powerful
labor party. Campbe -Bannerman In
Ralfour's place organized strong
composite ministry Of self made men.
The parliament stood with 377 Liber-
ais, l56 Unionfsts, SO Nationalist and
80 Laborites. When the kings speech
frankly declared for radical home
rule policy in Ireland the opposition
mustered only eighty-eight votes. a
4 nonconfo rmist education bill passed
by the commons APRIL % was OPP
posed by the lords. England set q big
gest battleship pattern with the
launching Of the Dread FEB,

Russia, Japan and others were not
slow to follow.

March is likely to be a landmark in the
history Of American socialism. The Of

Municipal ownership was voted iii
by Seattle and Omaha. Chicago voted
for the municipal ownership, but not

"A post election problem which the
new year inherits is California's sep
arate school plan for Japanese, against
which the president has taken strong
ground In his message to congress.
Another issue was raised by the
presidents dismissal of three com
panies Of negro soldiers for shielding

Executive Activities In
South and Central America

IS What the administration regarded as
the browning feature of a year of con-
struetive craftsmanship touching the
public interest along numerous lines of
action in the various executive depart
ments was the spectacular South Amer
I lean Journey of Secretary of State
Root. At Rio Janeiro he was received
with marked distinction by tlfe Brazil
ian government and by the members Of
the pan-American congress. To all he
bore testimony to the good will OF the
l United States government and to the
absence OF any ambitious designs for
territory or conquest. 81 AZ
When after election the president
made his three Jays personal inspec-
ton Of the great isthmian canal work
he was nightly pleased with what had
been done. 1t was the first time that
the chief executive had left American
territory. The new commission APP
pointed JULY 2 consisted Of Messrs.
Shollts, Stevens, Magoon, Hains, Endi-
colt and Harrod. It came to the con-
clusion that it would be advisable to
employ a certain number Of Chinese
laborers on the canal and that 1t would
not be practicable to apply the eight
hour regulation to the canal zone. On
his return voyage the president visited
Porto Rico

Treasury surplus was 500. 187,15O. The
secretary estimated that the per capita
circulation was $32.42 During the year
he successfully stimulated gold Inn
ports by depositing cash with import
ing banks pending arrival Of bullion.
To increase bank note circulation he
released $1S,oo0 900 bonds for other Sc

The president issued an order, AUG.

words Of the simplified spelling boards
