THE CHIEF
By eRANTLANo RICE.

BY eRAETLAKo RICE.
THE Chief is fallen! 50 the Troop
Today rides slowly
Sad heads bend loE-broad shoulders drOop
Where Death lies holy;
And there are tears in weary eyes
AS rain from winters weeping skies
Where every sobbing southwind signs
requiem lowly.
THE Chief is TALENT Halt the Guard
For voiceless prayer:
Loves last pale lilies crown the sward
Above him there:
And through the lonesome pines that sway
Above his rosecrowned Rest today
Lies lost winds whisper their way
Loves deep despair
WHAT was the crime for which he died
unfair hght?
Foul Crime, He dared through Faith and Pride
To stand for Right!
And so by coward heart and hand
"Shot in the back"-he leaves his band
A shadow the Lonesome Land
OF starless night
SHAME crowns the State where, thrown away.
Sad honor weeps
But blood shall call blood the day
That Justice sleeps;
The hurt-the heart-ache and the tears
Shall know no end through endless years,
Nor dim, Life's deep twilight nears
And Darkness creeps.
80 Captain! Captain! From the wall
The bugles blare;
Wake, Captain! Wake! Your Troopers call
In dull despair;
They wait for you by hill and stream
Their dripping sabres flash and CLEAN
o Captain Captain Must you dream
Forever there?"
"THE roll call, Captain of the Troop
wait
Until you come their proud heads droop,
All desolate;
They may not give their chargers speed
without their Sabreur to lead
Their Paladin in time of need
To storm the gate"
"cEE-in the east Dawn's crimson glow
Has brought back Day;
Up, Captain, up-we need you so
lead the
Look-through the miss the sunbeams shine
Along the steel that arms your line
God of the World. He gives sign
No word to say.
NO answer from white lips pressed
And unreplying
Still hands upon a silent breast
Forever lying;
But out from Gods white land of light
Beyond the Ffeld-beyond the Fight
His clear voice rings the Night
With strength undying.
THE Chief is fallen! But the Flag
In ripping roll
Waves proudly Let no Trooper lag
OF stawart SOUL
Up Boot and Saddle! To the Fray!
And in the mad, wildacharge today
God pity him who blocks the way
Or bars the goal

Greensboro, N. c., Oct. 17.-Taft ad-
dressed large crowds today at States
vile, Salisbury, High Point and
Greensboro What he is saying in
North Carolina is illustrated by the
following extracts from his speeches:
"Complaint is very often heard on
the part of your people that North
Carolina is not given her part in the
administration of the government. She
is not. She has able men, but as long
as you are going to vote for the DEM
ocratic ticket and the republican party
is in power, 1 do not see how those
gentlemen who do the voting can ex-
pect to share in the power. In other
words, let them vote as they think and
Their we will wipe out sectional lines.
I have no words of enmity or criticism
for Bryan, except that I find myself
never agreeing with him on any eco
nomic theory. am bound to say that
his experiments for the last sixteen
years have been such that it has not
taken more than four years generally
to demonstrate that at the end of
those four years nobody agrees with
his economic theories at all"
