"UNCLE JOE'S" PSALM OF LIFE

Tell me not. oh, fellow members,
That We ought to put on steam;
Let the flame die down to embers
While we sit around and dream.
Say revision TO your sorrow;
Let us fritter time away,
Acting so that each tomorrow
Finds US where we are today.
Talk is cheap and time is %feetin',
Let the foolish public rave:
It's enough that we keep meetin
And most ~gernerly behave
Tho our critics would remind us
How to make our lives sublime,
Let us act SO they may find us
Doin' nothin' ali the time.
If by chance a foolish brother
Should rebel or make a kick,
Trust your Uncle Joe" to smother
His ambition might quick.
Let us then give up our pursuin'
Ways and means to legislate;
Standin' pat, with nothin' dom
Golly, fellers, amt it great?

Mr.. Davis has been investigating
some of the few objections suggested
against the bill, and particularly
those wherein it is claimed Federal
appropriations would lend to national
ownership of the n m p a re d
schools, and also that Inese a%ppropria'
tons would relieve the States from
the sense of responsibility. In answer
thereto he quotes from a letter written
by the Hon. r. +. Brown, u. s. Com
missioner of Education, as follows:
1.-The recent effect Of the national
appropriations under that act (1662)
has been to stimulate greatly the sup
port of the l~and-grant colleges by the
States in which they are situated
Ten years ago. the amount which
| these institutions received from their
| several States was $2.21S, 100, while
in 1906 this amount was 1851, 500,
| showing an increase of about 240 per
cent. In 1896 these institutions re.
ceived. the country over. 20 per cent
of their support from the National
government. Ten years later, In 1906,
owing to the increase of State appro.
priations. the grants from the nation.
al treasury covered only 1874 per cent
OF their total support"

are altogether encouraging as showing
that national appropriations has not
tended to relieve the States of the
sense Of responsibility but have in fact

the reason that the party leaders over

fact he has one of the best in the city,

Mr.. Ash says, however, that there is
no money for the saIoonkeeper in Gary
at the present time and he wants to
get out of the business.
There have been several other sa-
loonkeepers who have laid down in the
past few weeks becaust they were not
able to do the business. Besides Mr.
Ash. there is NJ. Silverman and Alex
Hartman, who have shut up their sa-
looms in the past week. This fact is
peculiar because of the fact that nearly

an apparent subterfuge Of the flames.
While the men were fighting the adj
vance in one place, the flames crept
around them until they came to some
hay which they fed upon until. famed
by the wind. nothing could stop them
consuming the house. Even before Mrs.
Kesseric. who was working in the field
could reach her own home. the fighters
who had been attempting to save the
building. gave up the fight and saved
part of the furniture. The remainder,
consisting of several hundred dollars
worth, was destroyed.
After the Kesseric home had burned
completely to the ground 1t was seen
that If something could not be done
at once, the whole Lincoln Park sub
division would be doomed.
Wind Changes.
IN a short time the wind changed,
however. and the flames started to go
east with great rapidity. 1t looked
last night as if they would follow the
river bank and endanger the Pennsyl-
vania railroad bridge, but gang of
section men were put on the lookout
and were prepared to give battle should
they at any time prove dangerous.
The origin or the nre is supposed TO
be cigar which was thrown into the
grass at the south side ball park, while
ii was still lighted. There. it is sup
posed to have smoldered for some time
and at last broke out into a fullsized
prairie fire. fire in this vicinity is
more dreaded than anywhere else in
the city. because of the fact that the
grass is SO dry and heavy, that with g
good wind nothing could stop it. The

yesterday, had $500 worth of insurance
