IF ! WERE KING.

Ri Justin Huntley Mccarthy.
If / were king-ah, love, If I wera
king
What tributary nations would I bring
To stoop before your seepter and to
swear
Allegiance to your lips and eyes and
hair;
Beneath your feet what treasure would
l fling
The stars should be your pearls upon q
string.
The world a ruby for your finger ring
And you should have the sun and
moon to wear
II l were king.
Let these wild dreams and wilder words
take wing,
Deep in the woods l hear a shepherd
sing
A simple ballad to sylvan air
OF love that ever finds your face more
fair;
could not give you any goodlier thing
If | were king.

A pERvERsE CHARACTER,

Whom no one could advise;
lie wouldn't WELD the sword or pen,
He wouldn't advertise;
He wouldn't do a blessed thing
He really should have done
Another head so hard, by jing,
Was ne'er beneath the sun.
He had his wrangles every day,
And as for argument,
Unless he'd jawed his fill, he'd say
His time. was poorly spent.
In mortal Straits from stubborness
He still could not refrain;
II sick, to spite the town, l guess,
He soon got well again.
AT last, he really died-no tears
Were shed for his demise
His neghbors felt like lifting cheers
Until they split the skies.
While graveyard bound the hearse turned
Ger,
The corpse slid down a hill,
And people cried, oh, what a borel
He's acting stubborn still!'

company, which operates the Garnsey

Hnlman He is prominent capitalist
and has had large interests in the Biz
mingham district for several years. He
is one of the many southern democrats
who voted for Taft.
"Quite a number of the business men
of Memphis cast their ballots for Taft,
said Mr.. Galloway, land the result or
the election seems to have given high
satisfaction in business circles general
". Many of US felt that Mr.. Bryan S
election would have caused a decided
setback to business, but now that the
election is over and it is settled that the
country is to have a business admnistra-
ton for four years conditions will steadily
improve.
Capital, as every one knows, is pro-
verbally timid. While Taft's elec-
ton was a foregone conclusion, men with
money ready TO invest in large industrial
enterprises naturally held back until
Tafts victory could be announced. AS
the presidential contest resulted in favor
of business the country will enter soon

IOWA REPUBLICANS meet
Resolutions Declare for Taft
and Endorse Allison.

Des Moines, March 19.-The Repub-
lican state convention here named
four delegates at large to the national
convention, instructed them for Taft,
eulogized Senator William B. Allison
and adopted platform calling for re-
vision of the tariff.
The convention was called to order
by Frank P. Woods, chairman of the
state central committee. He surren-
dered the gavel to Attorney General
H. w. Byers of Harlan, the temporary
chairman, who made an eloquent ad-
dress, which aroused the delegates to
much enthusiasm.
The resolutions, as submitted to the
convention by the committee, con-
tanned but four planks. The first con-
graduated the members of the party
upon the record it had made; the
second declared unequivocally for
protection and endorsed fully the tar
if revision plank of the Ohio platform,
quoting the greater part of it verba-
tim. The third plank carried the in
structions for Taft and the last the
endorsement of Senator William B.

rot. It is deliberate stirring up of
passion and rage among people who
have no facilities for acquiring knowl-
edge at first hand and are dependent
upon men whom they trust. This trust
Senator La Toilette has betrayed. He
has taken advantage of his high Office
to use the confidence which his posi-
ton lends to his words for the sake of
arousing unreasoning prejudice among
people who have right to know the
truth from him. The entire import of
his speech is absolutely false. have

are President Gompers and the mem.
bers of the executive council of the
American Federation of Labor, to.

the International trades unions of
America, who met pursuant to call
issued by President Gompers to con-
slider the consequences of the recent
adverse decisions of the supreme
court of the United States affecting
labor organizations, with particular
reference to the Danbury hatters'
case, in which that court substantially
held that labor organizations were to
be considered trusts as much as or

Will Discuss Legislation.
The object of the conference, there
fore, is to consider the proposed
amendments to the Sherman antitrust
act, which are being drafted with a
view not of exempting labor organiza-
tons from their obligations to the
public, but rather to prevent any in
justice being done through the opera
ton of law to organizations of labor
ing men, particularly through injunc-
ton. 1t is desired to so frame the
proposed changes in the Sherman
law as to meet the requirements of
the supreme courts decisions. The
proposed amendments are the result
of recent conferences at the White
House between President Roosevelt
and others and it is hoped to secure
remedial legislation along these lines
at this session of congress.
President GOmDers stated that mat
tiers of Importance to every union man
would be discussed and an effort made
to formulate plans to offset the rul-
ings of the various courts regarding
injunctions and boycotts.
There are III national and interna-
tional trade unions in America and
practically all of them were repre-
sented by one or more delegates at
the meeting. The conference, which
was held behind closed doors, will
continue several days.

New York, March 49," Honest JIM
Reilly, the village blacksmith of North
Pelham, one of New York's most pop
ular suburbs, has been reelected pres
ident of the village for the third time
by the largest majority he has ever
received. The women and children of
the village made an enthusiastic cam
paign in his favor.
When Reilly was first elected the
village was heavily in debt. He has
paid off every cent of it and there is a
snug balance in the treasury. He re-
fused to announce a platform or make
any promises. Aristocratic Pelham
has been inclined to scott at the I'M
lettered blacksmith, but his sterling
honesty, force of character and execu-
tive ability has been so clearly dem
onstrated that many of the wealthy
residents lined up for him at the polls
this time. .. ..-
His political success has made no
change in the blacksmith. He works
at his anvil every day.
