THE TWO AS ONE

1t matters not what may divide
Two men who play life's checkereo
game;
One NAV in his fine carriage ride,
The other nau~ht have TO his name
One may he clothed in luxury,
The other toll from sun to sun;
The time will come when both will be
In their estate, the same as one.
One from his station may look down.
Because Of strong and wealthy ties
And on his humber brother frown,
Who ne'er can from his level rise;
But when the final hour shall come,
And the last thread of life is spun,
And both a ike are cold and dumb,
The two will be the same as one.
The crown upon that monarch's head,
Whose powers dazzle and allure,
In time will worthless grow as lead
When it can naught of aid secure,
So is it with all earthly things,
Fen with their splendors just begun;
The dust around them ia Is and clings,
And all alike are made as one.
Since all who live, if high or low.
If thew be rich or they be poor;
Down deep within their hearts they
know
On earth they cannot long endure.
So while we have our human breath,
Ere yet the present day IS run,
Not wait the leve'ing hand of death
Let us begin to be as one.

his message to Congress, President
Taft will take up with Secretary of
War Stimson charges Of conspiracy
upon the part Of the transcontinental
railroads to prevent the esta lishment
of Independent steamship lines to use

Evidences of activity by the rail-
