THE PROPER SPIRIT.


He tackles his work with spirit to
win,
In doubling he doesn't go to it;
"A difficult task he will always begin
Serene in the thought that he'll do
it.
With faith in himself he goes plodding
along,
With the grim thoughts of failure
behind him,
He pays little heed to the wall of the
throng
The letters of fear do not bind him.
The thought that he can't doesn't en-
ter his head
To hinder his efforts while trying;
He doesn't permit any picture OF
To start him to fretting or signing.
He plunges right into the task of the
day
Believing he's able to do it.
He pays little heed to the croakers
who say
nc Gan Solhe SuSCeoSluiiy lHrouSH
1T.
The hill may be high, but the SUNNI,
he sees
And firmly believes that he'll stand
there,
In fact he would crawl on his hands
and his knees
If he had to, in order to land there
He gives up no strength to Despair Oh
to Fear
Though the outlook may not be in
yiting;
He thinks he can win. he thinks vic
tory near,
And that helps lot in his fighting

The vice-President's death leaves
the present Senate without any regu-
lar presiding officer. The late Senator
Frye's place as President Pro Tenn.
never has been filled. Neither Senator
GalIinger, the candidate Of the regu-
lar Republicans. nor Senator Bacon,
the candidate of the Democrats. has
been able to command the necessary
majority vote. Progressive Republi-
cans have prevented an election. Mean
while during the vice-President's sew

been presided over by Senators Gal
higher and Bacon alternately by COM
mon agreement.
BY this agreement Senator Bacon is
to preside over the Senate when Con-
gress reassembles. December 2, and I'M
til December Is. Therefore, Senator
Bacon is charged with the duties Of
that Office now and to him will fall
making arrangements for the Senate's
participation in the funeral ceremo-

According to the Constitution the
succession to the vice-presidency now
goes to Secretary Knox, OF the State
Department. who also figures as a
presidential possibility should the
election throw the contest into the
House.

President whose death in Office shock
