Just in the morn of manhood,

Only a year has flown
But into a loathsome creature
The fair young boy has grown.
The work was sure and rapid,

In deathlike, drunken slumber,
Under the wintry skies.

As she kneels at her darling's side;
Her beautiful boy, who was dearer

And label it one word-"Lost.'

The sin, the shame and the sorrow,
The crime, the want and the woe

against a big expense and cannot at
ford to paw out a great deal of money
for Injuries.
After the matter of rest and food
has been taken care of comes the
question of recreation. and, as railroad
men say killing time" This, in my
opinion, is perhaps the most import
ant part At the present time there
are little amusements that the aver
age trainman can afford, except to
occasionally attend moving pictures
and ball games. Here is where the
many advantages OF the proposed
building would become attractive. They
would have the advantage of the
Longing room with easy chairs,
library, including the up-to-date peri
magazines, books of instruction, the
bowling alleys. billiard and pool tables,
bath rooms and also the lecture rooms,
where, if we succeed in getting the
building, it is proposed that all of us
take hold and help out.
Take these opportunities as against
the present arrangement of having to
coneregate in groups on station plat
forms, in cabOose cars, around engine
houses, on the street corners and 9TH

where the matter started when the
matter was taken up about two years

because at that time, and prior to that
time, they had been having a great

commodations and finding proper
places for recreation and amusements.

explanation to the Senate today, Sen
ator Piles of Washington disavowed
any responsibility for the appointment
of Richard A. Ballinger as commits
sioner Of the general land Office or lat
er as secretary of the interior. This
action resulted from intimations in the
Ballinger Pinchot investigation that
Mr.. Piles influenced the appointment
in the interest of the Cunningham coal
claimants.
Senator Simmons of North Carolina
spoke in favor of the Dixon long and
short haul clause. after which the

Opposing the theory that without
right to withdraw public lands from
legislative power the President has the
entry. Senator Borah in a speech de-
livered in the Senate today declared
that il this right was conceded. the
logical conclusion would be that the
Executive had the power to suspend
any legislative enactment.

there is lodged in him that concerning
