I'm glad YOU like g. You remember
last week that I got some verses from
The Treasury Department. the last place
one would think The muse of poetry
would care 20 visit Well the young
gentleman down there does not at all
let the cash around him fr.ghten tie
muse away. and here is another one from
him. He calls IL:
A COLORADO LOCHINYAR.
oh. Senator GugEenheim s. comc from the West,
In a ssat Senatorial pToCd 60 invest
From far Colorado he comes. % declare
That Uncle sans dealings must De- on the square.
A Senator fearless and bold. iu his prime
Has come 60 the Senate ia young Guggauheim.
What heed shall we give 60 the tales indiscreet.
OF barrels Of money Dis foes O. defeat.
Of state legislatures bought mp by thc score
And something left orcr for two or three more.
What matters 20 J,. II emerged from the slime
Comes purified Slnat0r-bold GUggcuheim.
Now list % his words in attempts % explain
His methods peculiar, the Senate ja gain.

By footing the bills that accrued IN thC ruut
They got what they wanted. and SD. IN good time
Nine cane TO me likewise. says brave GuCgcnhCiu
Just see the example the Senator sets.
No naughty dictatorship. GUggenheim frets
Ills business connections are given the slip:
Uutrammeled be comes % help govern the ship.
I'm here 10 DO business on nothing Uer diem.
For ! don't need the money, says rich Guggcahcim
Perhaps Colorado has done a good thing.
And deed contaminated which praises viii bring
If we have only Senators rolling in wealth
Who have no eutanglin- attachments in stealth,
The poor people may. IN a future sublime.
Get justice from Senators like Guggenhcim.

And. is that all?" asked the phiIoso
pher.
"AH. at any rate, that I am going t,
print to-day" was the answer. But
think, said the critic. that I shall ash
the poets of Washington to get to work
1 think We can find "a place for thei
verses, and find them interesting"
