Ho, it's I would be the vagabond
When summer days are here,
To go and find what lies beyond
The hills that are so near,
To walk the winding road that leads
Forever on and on
And hear the wind dance through th'
reeds
The dancing wind Of dawn.
The walls of town they hedge US in.
They bind us foot and hand;
Our days must end as they begin,
On one lone place we stand
And its I would be the rover then,
TO leave the town behind
And trudge through meadowland and glel
To see what I might find.
There is no bloom-scent in the dust
That rises from the street;
The blood within my veins is rust,
My heart slows in its beat
Then It's 7 would be the rowing one
Without a thought or care,
But walk or sleep from sun to sun
And know that life Is fair.
A toil-sapped sifc the city gives
That seems to have no end;
The vagabond. in sooth, he lives
And finds the world his friend
So it's I would be the trudGinS tyko
And foot it east or west,
To stop and look at what like
And where will, to rest.
Ho. it's + would be the vagabond
These lazy summer days,
To climb far hills and fare beyond
Through all the pleasant ways,
Amid the clover bloom to sleep
Where life may show no scars.
To slumber where the soft winds creep
And blanketcd with starsi

Barre Progressives Hope to Have Cali

At the Progressive headquarters to-day

does come on that day, it is likely that
the occasion will be celebrated by a

Definite information as to the governors
itinerary was not at hand. but those
who are supposed to know asserted that
the chances for his visit to Barre were
extremely bright. The candidate for
vice president on the Progressive ticket
spoke il Worcester, Mass. to-day, and
the local Progressive leaders confidently
hope that he will take the promised
swing around Vermont before returning

his attack on Candidate Allen NJ. Fletch-

Colonel Roosevelt's flying tour through

OF an eleventh-hour decision on the part
of the Progressive managers, so Yer

WILSON IN PENNSYLVANIA.
Made Addresses at Several Places and
Was Greeted by Large Crowds.

Scranton, Pa. Sept 24.Through
rainy Pennsylvania, Governor Woodrow
Wilson rode yesterday, campaigning as
he went and addressing thousands of
people, who crowded the wayside sta
tiohs to see him. He arrived here at
6:i2 O'Clock last night and participated
in an umbrella parade to the armory,
where big mass meeting was held as a
sequel to the official notification cere-
monies earlier in the day to the State
ticket
From the moment the Democratic
candidate crossed the state line at Phil
lipsburg, n j., and stopped at Easton,
| Delaware. Water Gap Portland and
Stroud sburg, there We're umbrella COW
cred crowds to greet him. At Strouds-
burg, the home of Representative A.
Mitchell Palmer. national committeeman
from Pennsylvania, the biggest crowd
turned out. A band played and the gov
ernor was given a lively demonstration.
It was getting toward dusk when the
governor reached Stroudsburg and as he
leaned from the rail of the observation
platform, the brakeman removed rear
light.
"They know we don't need any arti-
fetal light" said the candidate amid
laughter. "and that there is no danger
on the part of the Democratic candidate
of rear-end collision because nobody
is in the same running class with it so
that we are not afraid of any other
train catching up with MS.

tirely devoted to the interests of one

a marked inclination to turn away from

36,038 P0STMASTERS
TO BE CLASSIFIED
Sweeping Action Likely to Be Made
Soon, Thus Removing Fourth-Class
Appointees of Uncertainties
of Politics.

Washington, d. c.. Sept. 24.-It was
practically decided yesterday that Presl-
dent Taft in the near future will issue
an executive order placing all fourth
class postmasters in the classified serv-
ice. This order, relieving 36,03S post
masters from the uncertainty of politi-
cal appointment, will be one of the most
comprehensive and far-reachng, as af-
feeting the civil service. ever issued by
a president OF the United States,
That the president would take this
step. his frst act toward putting into
practice his often-eXpressed belief that
all government officers below the grade
of cabinet members should be removed
from the influence of politics and placed
under the civil service, became practi-
cally certain late Yesterday after del
egation of postmasters, returning from
the annual convention of the association
at Richmond Va, had been received at
the White House and by Postmaster
General Hitchcock The visitors sub
mitted a monster petition. asking that
they be placed in the classified service
After discussing the matter briefly
L
ferred the executive committee of the
association to Mr. Hitchcock for further
consideration Of the matter. Later the
committee called upon the postmaster
general to discuss the subject with him.
: In few days Mr.. Hitchcock will sub
nit to President Taft a formal recon-
mendation that the petition be granted
and the president is expected to act
promptly and favorably upon the rec
ommendation.
In the entire country there were 40.
672 fourth-class postmasters at the end
of the last fiscal year BY executive
order issued in July, 1908. President
Roosevelt placed the fourthelass post
masters of all New England states and
of New York. New Jersey, Pennsylvania,
Ohio. Indiana. Michigan and Wisconsin,
in the civil service, n total of 1864.
Those still without the service number
3G03S
While the details Of the proposition
have not been worked out it is expected
that the covering into classified service
of this great number of officials will be
accomplished by the designation OF the
postmasters of groups of states success
sively.
1t will require an immense amount, of
labor on the part Of the civil service
commission. particularly. as well as on
the part of the postoilice department.
Both the president and PostmasterGen
eral Hitchcock have recommended to-
Congress that all postmasters be covered
into the classified service; and that $,
far as possible. the entire personnel of
the postal service be removed from po-
litical influence.
As to the first, second and third classes
of postmasters legislation by Congress
would be required to place them under
civil service regulations; but the presi-
dent now has authority, under certain
defined limitations Of competency and
to put masters of the fourth
class under the protection of the civil
service rules.

HEATED REJoINDERS.
Were Made at Aldermanic Inquiry Into
Police Conditions in New York

New York, Sept 24.-Inqury by the
aldermanic committee into police condi-
tions was marked yesterday by heated
words from the principal witness, James
Creelman, president of the municipal
civil service commission, upon which
Police Commissioner Waldo in earlier
testimony had placed responsibility for
the fact that many men alleged to be
unfit for duty received appointments to
the police force. In the midst of cheers
from some of the auditors and Kisses
from others, the witness denounced the
committees work as petty political
trickery of the Republican ring" and
declared that he would leave the wit
ness stand unless its counsel. Emery r.
Buckner, ceased putting lies in his
mouth" Scenes of confusion and up
roar accompanied practically all of the
afternoons proceedings.
Testimony elected from President
Creelman and his two associates, Alex
ander Keogh and Richard Yelling had
the effect of turning the responsibility
back upon Commissioner Waldo. The
question has mainly been how it was
that some 40 men on the civil service
list, who had been rejected by former
Police Commissioner James G.. Cropsev
as unfit for duty, had been appointed to
the force shortly after Commissioner
Waldo took Office. Commissioner Wal
do has declared the civil service com
mission had certified to the fitness of
these men even after the commissioner
had referred them back to the commits
sion for investigation.
Mr.. keogh declared yesterday that
only few of these men were actually
summoned before the commission for the
reason, he said, that the reflections were
withdrawn by Commissioner Waldo.
In the examination of Mr. Creelman,
during which Attorney Buckner expert
enced many setbacks by the witnesses
denunciation of the committees proceed
ure. the committees counsel considered
one by one the cases of men whom Mr..
Waldo appointed although they had
been found to have committed perjury
in applying for positions and some to
have had accusations of crime against
them on record. Mr. Creelman declared
that the district attorneys office had
heen advised of instances of perjury but
the public prosecutor had declined to
act. He also declared that Mr. Waldo
was in possession of the records of the
alleged undesirables and that in some
instances the names were placed on the
recertified list at the comissioner's re-
quest and others certified to because the
commissioner considered Mr.. Cropsey's
objections baseless.
