Oh. editor. thou high proved guy
thou literary fan,
Fray lend thine ear ana answer me as
e-ea-,et'- man 4 man.
I'm told that writing IS a trade thai
hrirgeth princely pay
That authors, poets and the Ike do
little else but play.
nost think. on reading over this verse
that I could ere attain
4 place in English letters that would
bring me worldly gain?
Could I, by working night and day,
acquire q style as good.
As Ella Wheeler Wilcox or as Mary
Catherwood?
What dost thou think my chances are
in taking up this work
Would'st thou, in my place, quit this
tiresOrne job Of grocery clerk
And should I, if I did do that, allow
my hair to grow
tawnv. stringv yellow mass and
down my -noulders flow?
Could I, think thou, rake in the coin
to buy the baby shoes
And get a meal occasion'ly if I should
court the muse?
And If I wed the muse Of verse, what
win the outcome be,
md how about the wife I've got
won't this be bigamy?
There's such a lost Of questions rise
I'm really quite at sea,
And so l take this chance 10 put th'
matter up 70 thee.
So, tell me. thou most learned man
pray tell me which is worse
Would'st thou weight prunes at eight
bucks per, or take chance or
verse?

not vast difference between the sell
fishness of the ignorant and the self
ishness of the really enlightened?
When people speak of selfishness they
usually mean the sS.fishness of Ebe-
neezer Scrooge, the miser, But that
is the selfishness of an ignorant, un-
balanced man. Ebeneezer was sharp
in some of the ways of the world 1t is
tue. But of the real things of life he
was supremely ignorant, All men
who are embued with a selfishness
that makes them small and mean are
ignorant.
Enlightened selfishness is different.
One who is really wise and desires to
promote self interests-a very human
desire-win do nothing but what is
right and Just. This because happi-
ness comes only when people are true
to what is right and as Maeterlinck
has shown. it is the blue bird of hap
piness' that we all are after.
Selfishness is blamed for evils that
should be attributed to ignorance. Sell
f:shness is the cause of good as we'll
as of evil. Many a churchman tries
to walk strictly in the path of righte-
business and to do his duty by his God
and by his fellow men for purely sell
fish reasons. He wants to insure fol
himself a key that will open the pearly
gate. Nor should his conduct be
criticised He is merely showing
common sense. Others who are not
churchmen are prompted by the same
motives rs he when they live Alright
in order that they may share in the
Joys Of an earthly heaven. It is sell
fishness but of the enlightened sort.
Only the ignorant are lawbreakers
This may sound strange because there
are well educated crooks and villains
But such people do wrong because
their educaloh Is not com PIe'e' II
the chain there is a link that is weal
or missing. Something in training ol
heredity is lacking, People who arr
really wise will not do wrong-be
cause it does not pay-and they are
foolish who think it does.
Ignorance is the root of all evil anC
thorough education is the remedy.

THE RECIPROCITY TREATY.

By an overwhelming vote the DEM
ocrats and insurgent republicans took
the reciprocity treaty through the
house. The bill is now up to the
senate and while sentiment there 5
not as strong for the treaty as in the
house it appears the bill will pass.
II is also pretty certain that most
o. the country will approve Of the
treaty. The consuming public 's
clamoring for lower tariffs. Consum-
ers are possessed of the idea that they
have been taxed for the benefit Of tar
if protected trusts and they want
a change. They We're not satisfied
with the Payne-Aldrich revision of
the tariff.
With reference to the reciprocity
treaty much opposition arose over the
fact that to many the treaty seems
more a blow at the farmers of the
country than at the trusts. Leaders
Of the grange and other farmers or
ganizations assert the treaty will be
unjust and will work havoc. In an

CHICAGO EDITOR IS
GRAFTER'S VICTIM
Paid for Inside Informa-

Alleging Lobbying.
National News Association

news
Washington, July 25.-The greatest
sensation yet developed before the
Lorimer investigating committee was
brought out today when James Kelley,
publisher of the Chicago Tribune, tes-
titled that George o. CLAWS whom the
editor recently had had arrested on
embezZlement charges had told him
Lorimer and former Representative
James Tawney had received fees paid
by lobbyists in Washington for con.
gressional work
Tawney was chairman of the house
committee on appropriations in last
congress. Keeley's striking statements
were brought out during the cross ex-
animation but by Judge Hancey. Kee-
ley said that CLAWS came to him in
Chicago and represented that he knew
of the existence of certain books kept
by firm of lobbyists which had deal
ings with Lorimer and Tawney; and
that he knew of one instance where
$4,000 was paid to these lobbyists by
firm of liquor dealers and he knew
that twenty five percent OF this
amount was retained by Lorimer
CLAWS agreed to obtain the books
from a wife OF one Of the members of
the firm in Washington and Kelley
gave him a hundred dollars for his ex-
penses. CLAWS went to Washington
where Kelley arranged with the Trib-
une correspondent to pay him six
hundred dollars for the books and pa
pers.
After accepting the money CLAWS
approached Kelley in an effort to
withdraw from the agreement and re-
fund the money, but Kelley insisted on
CLAWS making good and the embez-
Element indictment followed. CLAWS
claimed he had turned the books over
to his brother in West Virginia but the
latter denied any knowledge of them.
Kelley indicated after investigation to
print what the books showed. He ad-
mitted CLAWS had put one over on him,
and Mccormick gave him the laugh.
