Uncle Sam and His Naughty Boys.

A
WIT en- for The owosso Times by Mrs. fheh
Grant Weller.
! 'Old Uncle sam" in the good old time
Lived with his Conscience True
But his naughty boys were filled with crime
And their fate I'll tell TO you.
His good wife's name Clear Conscience was
But his boys they we're so bad
They soon be gan to break his laws
And lively time they had.
| "Clear Conscience grieved q while and then
One day the dear soul died;
The children they so bad had been
"Old Uncle Sam" he cried.
For Trust" naughty boy was he
And bad companions made
Theu Uncle sam" says wen be free
And the lash upon him laid.
Then Trust" good money from him stole
And put II In pile,
| or "Green Backs" he had many roll
| And his gold it made him smile.
Then Rail Road Lad" comes into sight
| And smiles so bland and sweet.
"Say Dad. 1 think that Trust Is right
| And his com pany will keep.
Then 'High Finance" went on spree
| From east to west he journied,
You'll have hard times but you will see -
"Old dad" I'll not be worried.
| He tore the business all to smash
or other nations borrowed
And all the time he had the cash
While all the people sorrowed.
Tnen up steps immigration
A"Little Jap" was he,
I've come to this old Nation
And you must father me.
Your schools and money we viii take
Our children all to educate
And we will have the "open gate
Then to your shores well navigate.
But worst OF all he had one boy
Who to drink and ruin came
The one "Clear Cons ,ience" loved with joy
But he disgraced his fathers name.
But all the boys they loved him well
Tho by many bloody deed
He dragged his brothers down to He'll
For money and for greed.
Then Uncle Sam" more wrathy got
And hard the lash applied,
Il guess I'de better thrash the lot
For right is on my side"
Then Uncle Sam appealed to all
His children that he loved dear
And then at last we hear him call
To his country far and near.
Come forth; come forth; and fight the foe
From all Ibis country wide,
Saloons and crime and greed must go;
For right is on our side.
Then Roosevelt that noble son
Who for right did always stand
Steps to the front and says i've come
To help you all l can"
Our country dear strong hands does need
And an honest legislation,
For Trust" and Graft" saloon and greed
Must be driven from this Nation.
For Conscience number two must have right
In our old home.
And she must vote and she will fight
Then right will surely come.
For new conscience must win,
I'll love her more and more,
I'll shut whiskey, beer and gin,
And then I'll close the door.
And my dear Conscience must not be
Heart broken for our boys;
And our home must happybe
For our children are our Joys.
Our homes are lost, our joys are gone
If saloons must have their wav,
Oh let US sing joyful song
And pray for better day.
Then all our boys will homeward come,
An honest, happy lot,
Then we will have happy home
With all their sins forgot.

MAJOR HEALEV IS DEAD.

Major Geo. p. Healey. one of the
best-known men in Florida, died in
Jacksonville Tuesday morning At the
DeSotO Sanitarium. after a lingering
illness.
The Jacksonville Metropolis says
OF him: The direct cause OF his
demise was heart failure. but up to
a few months ago he was in excellent
health and was one of the most active
men in Florida.
Major Healey was a native OF Penn.
sylvania. and served creditably in the
Federal army during the Civil War
Many years ago he removed 20 Sc
sflle. in Volusia county. where he en-.
gagged in orange culture and took
prominent part In the politics OF the
State.
in conventions he was often heard.
and his face was familiar at every
session OF the Legislature until the
recent one.
His extensive acquaintance with
prominent men all over the State. and
his activity in behalf of certain prop
ositiOns rendered him effective in
legislative matters. Strenuous as a
worker in politics, he claimed the
friendship of his opponents because
of his cheerful disposition. Several
years ago his activity in political
debates excited much attention. and
he was known all over tho State "a
the Bald Eagle OF Volusia."
"A couple of years ago he removed
to Jacksonville and claimed this city
rs his home until his death.
Major Healey was an active and
member OF the local order
Of Elks."

THE BASEBALL UMPIRE.

OF all the positions the least to be
envIed, that OF the umpire Of a base
bail game is at the head Of the list.
II be Is fair to the visiting team the
home fans term him a robber. and II
he shows the least Partially for the
home boys, the visitors cannot nnd
language sufficiently strong i'm which
TO express their epithets toward him.
Il Is simply impossible for him to
please the partisans OF the respective
players. for two persons on opposite
sides seldom see things through the
same glasses.
The editor OF The Sun has witnessed
the last two games between the
Gainesville, Palatka and ocala teams,
and occupied a position during these
games to enable him to pass judgment.
from an impartial standpoint. upon the
decisions of the umpires. The UNI
pire for Palatka at the last game play
ed i'm that city undoubtedly made
some wrong decisions, but In the long
run he about evened things up, and
Gainesville lost the game on account
of poor playing-not through decis'
ions of the umpire.
Mr. Gerig, who umpired the
game at Ocala last Tuesday. certain
ly was as fair as IL was possible for
an umpire TO be. yet there were peO-
pie from Gainesville who termed
some of his rulings ''rotten"-a most
disrespectful term-and had the
Gainesville team lost IL would all have
been laid to the umpire.
In the game played in Gainesville
some weeks ago between our boys
and Ocala. Mr.. Lee Graham. who is
universally recognized as absolutely
fair As an umpire, and who has a
thorough knowledge of the game. was
the umpire. lie was perfectly fair
and impartial in his decisions, but
In several instances partisans OF the
0cala team declared they had been
''robbed"-and they reiterated these
assertions to Gainesville people in
the Brick City last Tuesday.
The person who says Lee Graham
would knowingly or wilfully make a
wrong decision is either a knave or
fool. and their expressions should
be treated with the contempt they de.
serve. Lee Graham would not know.
ingly wrong any man. and criticism of
such fair and impartial men as UNI
pires is calculated to cause capable
and falr-minded men to refrain from
acting as arbiters between teams
of the rival towns.
Have more charity for the umpire
and remember that two persons sci.
dom see things alike.

A DAYS DISPATCHES.

News dispatches. when considered
over a long period. are
used by historians as Thermometer
by which TO guage the trend OF con.
ditlons. Even a single days news
may serve TO give Us a line on the
pulse OF the nation.

Judge Gary declared the new bill
should be generally satisfactory. and
President Taft, the cabinet, and Con
gress are entitled to great credit for
their successful work. The revision
has been conservatively downward
Business will improve rapidly from
now on, and steel will come into it,
own again, with new high records.
A Washington news item tells US
that the Hon. John A. NJ. Adair
speaking In the House Of Represents
tives, declared: There surely Is
much alarm In the fact 1000 men now
own over IS per cent Of all the wealth
of the country, and each one of the
balance Of the 10000 900 people OWES
less than $500 In property. The rec
lords show that 81 men, who have
been the beneficiaries Of special

able fact that enc thirty .fifth OF the
entire wealth Of the United States
Is therefore concentrated In the hands
OF fifty-one men. and these men are
today debating the legislation of this
special session of Congress"
Still another dispatch informs Us
that Bishop William Bell. OF Los
