| When you were Tadpole and l was a
Fish
In the Paleozoic time,
| And side by side on the ebbing tide
| We sprawled through the ooze and
slime,
| Or sllittered with many a caudal flip
! Through the depths of the Cambran

| My heart was rife with the Joy of life,
For loved you, even then.
| Mindless we lived and mindless we

And mindless at last we died;
| And deep in a rift of the Caradoc drift
| We slumbered side by side.
| The world turned on the lathe OF

| The hot lands heaved amain
| Till we caught our breath from the

| And creDt into light again.
We were Amphibians, scaled and

| And drab as dead mans hand
| We coiled at ease meath the dripping

Or we trailed through the mud and
sand,
Croaking and blind, with our three
clawed feet
| Writing a language dumb,
With never a spark in the empty dark
To hint at life to come.
Yet happy we lived, and happy we
loved,
And happy we died once more
Our forms were rolled in the clinkine
mold
OF a Neocomian shore.
| The cons came, and the cons fled
And the sleep that wrapped us fast
Was riven away in the newer day,
And the night of death was past.
Then light and swift through the jun
gle trees
We swung in our airy flights,
Or breathed in the balms of the
fronded palms,
In the hush of the moonless nights
And oh! what beautiful years were
these,
!. When our hearts chung each to each;
When life was filled, and our senses
thrilled
In the first faint dawn Of speech.
Thus life by life, and love by love,
We passed through the cycles

And breath by breath, and death by

Pay Full Fare on Trip

Chairman Mack Charges Dis
elimination Against
Democracy

CHICAGO, Aug. Norman e. Mack,
chairman of the democratic national
committee, was notified tonight that no
reduced railroad rates will be put into
effect for the Bryan notification meet
ing at Lincoln, Neb., August IL. The
communication came from Eben B. Nc
Leod, chairman of the western passen-
ger association, and was in reply to a
letter sent to that official by Mack ear
lier in the day, and calling attention
to the fact that reduced fares had been
celebration in Cincinnati, whereas no
concessions had been made for the
democratic gathering. The correspond
ence was interspersed by several tele-
phonic conversations between Messrs.
Mack and Mcleod, the latter explaining &
the action of the railroads by re-
ferring to the fact that no reduced
rates had been put into effect for any
events in Nebraska since the passage of
the cent fare law in that state. He
also emphasized the fact that the re-
duced rates to Cincinnati were offered
by the central passenger association.
The action of the railroads is SIM
ply discrimination against the demo-
cratic party" said Mack, They state
that there is a cent rate law in Ne
braska, which will not permit them to
give reduced rate to Lincoln. But
desire to call their attention TO the
fact that there is also a 2 cent fare law
in Ohio. which did not prevent the
granting of reduced rate to the Taft
meeting in Cincinnati. Besides, as
understand it. many of the railroads
which compose the central passenger
association are members of the west
ern passenger association"

BRYAN NEEDS 5000
Small Sums Thankfully Re-
ceiyed at Lincoln

FAIRVIEW, LINCOLN, Aug. THE
wherewithal with which to conduct the
democratic campaign was the mo-
mentous question under discussion at
Fairview today. While it is admitted
that from number of sources individ-
ual contributions of considerable size
will be made the decision has been
reached that the bulk of the fund is
expected TO come from the masses. A
sum of not less than $500, 600 Is re-
garded as necessary to meet the eX-
penses of the campaign.
The matter was talked over at great
length today by Bryan with former
Senator Pettigrew of South Dakota,
member of the finance committee. and
tonight with Governor G. n. Haskell.
treasurer of the democratic national
committee. The decision was reached
that the finance committee should meet
in Chicago next Monday and at once
enter on the work of organization.
AS the result of the visit of Petit
grew. which lasted almost the entire
day, it was disclosed that Bryan con-
templates still another change in his
program, The plan now is that fol-
proceed direct TO Mitchell, S. D.. at
which place he will deliver an address

TAFT DELAYED ORDER
General Corbin States Details of
Dismissal of Troops

WASHINGTON. Aug. THAT Judge
Taft was in no way responsible for the
order discharging the battalion of the
Twenty-fffth infantry and that in doing
so he obeyed the direct order of the
president is the statement of Lieuten-
ant General Henry G. Corbin, retired,
who has just returned from Ohio.
IF the Brownsville affair is going to
be paraded in the campaign" said Gen
eral Corbin, ANY credit or blame in
that matter cannot be laid to Taft.
AS matter of fact, Taft was not in
Washington at that time. He left
Washington on October 81, 1906, for an
inspection of the western military
posts, and was absent until Novem-
ber II.
Upon his return the order suspend
ing the battalion of the Twenty fifth
infantry was brought to his attention.
That the president might reconsider
the matter, Taft suspended the order.
He cabled to the president. who was
then in the West Indies, and four
days after Taft's return to the capital
he received from the president a cable
gram directing him that the order be
executed.
"As a loyal subordinate of the presi-
dent he did his duty as a subordinate,
regardless of any views of his own.
with these facts known, no man,
white or black, can place any RESPONSE
bility in the premises on Taft"

Eddie" Makes Heavy Demand
on Stock of Personal Pro-
nouns in Praising Himself

Sam Shortridge placed himself at the
disposal of Eddie wolfe's failing
cause in the thiFty-seventh district last
night. As he disappointed Eddie in
the thirty-eighth the night before there
was much anxiety when he did not put
In an appearance at S;30 o'clock.
Sam will be here. tonight" said
Eddie" reassuringly, looking at his
watch.
'-Where is Sam-he amt here yet?''
asked dozen doubters.
There's Sam; he's here; he's going to
talk" signaled the approach of the
orator as he mounted the Fostrum.
Sam had lots of fun. He "kidded" the
audience; he ''kidded" the musicians; he
"kidded" Wolfe.
He took off his pince nez and called
the Lincoln Roosevelt leaguers-
fungus Drained statesmen"
"Unbaked politicians"
New Lochinvars."
He shot his cuffs and branded the
leaguers--
Raw recruits"
"Purists."
"Reformers."
He wagged his index finger and
dubbed the leaguers-
travelling statesmen"
"Strutters for a brief hour on the
political stage"
Persons who are making the night
hideous with their vituperation."
Creatures who are charging the air
till it reverberates with slander."
Sam said that he was proud to stand
there as the friend of him in whose in
terests the meeting was called, and
pointed, not to the picture >of Taft, for
there was none. but to the modest little
senator himself.
Sam paid his respects to that lit
tie fellow who lives in little miser-
able village in the hot San Joaquin
yalley-what's his name?-yes, think
it's Rowell."
Everybody was vastly entertained
except John E. Bennett, who left the
platform and went home without de-
livering his speech.
Wolfe followed Shortridge and, as
usual. made heavy demand on the
available stock of personal pronouns.
He read testimonials that showed him
self the only panacea for all ills po-
litical. He paid a touching tribute
TO Tim Sullivan. who does not attend
Wolfe meetings, and to Bennie Levy,
who blushed in the front ROW. Then
his modesty overcame him:
Il am not an issue in this campaign
BY no means. There are more import
ant questions before you 1 am not
going to go over what L have done for
you in the last IL years That would
be unbecoming. But may incidentally
state that ], etc. etc, etc..
Wolfe repeated his statement that
no man could go to Sacramento and
get what he could get. He expressed
his resentment about the quotation
marks with which the newspapers sur
round the familiar name of Eddie. {"
He forgot to promise the thirty-seventh
district the worlds fair, which he pre-
sented to the thirty eighth, but he
still insisted that vote for the Lin
coln-R Roosevelt league would be half
a vote for the democrats and he be-
walled the fact that Theodore A. Bell
and Mayor Taylor had expressed their
confidence in the league.
Among those who went to the Au-
ditorium annex TO hear Shortridge and
praise Wolfe We're Ruef's friend, Major
Kyle, Arthur Fisks factotum; Jim Gal

DEMOCRATS FEAR
LOSING THEIR JOBS
Sydney Van Wyck Makes Office
Holders in FOrtieth Dis
trict Uneasy
Tries to Shake Morris Ruben
stein Off Bell Ticket and
Tips His Hand

Out in the fortieth district the demo-
Gratis are wondering what office mold
ers living in that section are in danger
of losing their jobs. They are asking
one another what two municipal posi-
tions allotted to the fortieth Sydney
Van Wyck holds in the hollow of his
hand. There is little story of McNab
politics behind the questioning and the
wonderment.
Morris Rubenstein is one of the dele
gates on the anti-McNab or Bell ticket
in the fortieth district. He is a hustler,
the sort of man that would be valuable
to any boss or leader in a primary
fight 1t is quite natural that McNab
should want him.
AS politicians are passing the story
about, Sidney Van Wyck, one of Nc
Nab's men in the fortieth, sent for
Rubenstein and tried to pull him
down." Rubenstein refused to come
down. So Van Wyck resorted to
promises.
IF you come off the Bell ticket and
go with us you can have the disposal
of two good city jobs" is the lure
which Van Wyck Is reported to have
used on Rubenstein. But Rubenstein
stood pat; all the glittering promises of
the district leader fell upon deaf ears
So now they are wondering about
those two good city jobs in the fortieth.
Which two has van Wyck the power OF
allotting? The office holders who live
in the district are worried; they would
like to know about it.
Their worry was not alleviated when
word came to them from McNab's office
that their jobs would not be worth
much if the district is lost to the or
ganization. But apparently worry and
hard work are not incompatible. for all
the job holders of the fortieth are leg

Van Wyck will know what will happen;
