On Abolishing Senate

Victor Berger, of Milwaukee. our first

proposal to abolish the United States

That is, Of course. mildly amusing. 1t
would be nothing else, but for the fact
that Mr.. Berger's is the first voice ever
sounded in Congress in behalf Of a
party that on occasion polls about
1 ooo 600 votes. Despite a tendency
among the thoughtless people to each
innate in its direction, that Is no mean

la Toilette at the present time. II is
the general belief that Mr. La Toilette
would lose ground there If Senator Jon
athan Bourne came out against him.
Mr.. Bourne advocated the denomination
OF Mr.. Roosevelt in 1908. He held out
until the Republican national conven-
tion of that year had registered its will.
There is said to be bad blood between
Senators la Toilette and Bourne. The
suspicion has long been entertained here
that Mr. Bourne believes he is presi-
Dental timber himself and that he is
envous of the prominence given the La
Toilette boom. When he will line up is
problematical
That the La Toilette movement will
be halted unless Col. Roosevelt soon
makes ii clear that he will not be
candidate next year is generally admit
ted by the friends of the Wisconsin sen
ator, Everything was moving smoothly
at the La Toilette headquarters until
prominence was given Col. Roosevelt as
possibility in 1912. Since then the
La Toilette managers have been in
state of uncertainty, as have Republic
cans identified with the regular faction.
In the meantime Senator La Toilette
is going ahead with his campaign. He
will soon start for Indiana and Ohio,
where he will deliver series of speeches
in which he will outline his platform.
Upon his return to Washington, he will
present tariff bills designed as substi-
tutes for those that are to be passed
by the Democratic House. Mr.. La Fol-
lette's tariff proposals will be part
of the platform upon which he is to 60
before the Republican national conven
ton of 1912 as presidential candidate.

THE LONE GRAVE IN THE SHEN-
.ANDOaH

Beyond the ridge the pike wends
down .....
Where once the lines of battle met
Through Berry, He and MiddlctoNn
Where scars of warfare molder yet.
Where empty si1ls stare out upon
The ragged columns passed and gone
Past little hamlets gray and old,
Where Tdrly fought one fatefuI
da% '.'''
Now set III suhm ers green and gold.
Where rair-haired children romp
and play
Where ivy 'bravely casts its shade
To hide the scars that hatred made.
AT length it seems to pause before
a gray, old-fashioned home,
where May
Spreads roses round the open door,
And, when she's in mood to play,
She scatters petals on a grave
Beneath the trees where grasses
wave
"a soldiers grave" the housewife
An aged woman, bent and gray,
Who once beheld with those same
eyes
Invading armies pass her way.
And bora within her womans heart
The hate that was a Woman's part
"A soldier. sir--the Nineteenth CORPS
They'd fallen back when Early
came;
He struggled here before our door
Too weak and i'll to give his name,
Too sick to follow with his own
And here he d,ed-with us, alone"
ToGay docs some one sch and weep.
In all the world is one who'd care
To stoop above him in his sleep,
And place bud or blossom there /?
Does some ore long to place a rose
