Though He'll spit forth it's snarling
host. We shall not finch nor quail,
For in the last great skirmish Gods
own truth must prevail.
Have they not seen the writing that
flames upon the wall,
or how their house is built on sand,
and how their pride must fall?
The cough of little lads that sweat
where never sun sheds light,
The sob of starving children, and their
mothers in the night,
These and the wrongs of ages, we
carry as sword,
Who stand at Armageddop. and who
battle for the Lord!
For he shall move the mountains that
groan with ancient sham,
And mete with equal measure the lion
and the lamb.
And he shall wipe away the tears that
burn on woman's cheek,
For the Nations council hence, the
mothers, too, shall speak.
Through him the rose of peace shall
blow from the red rose of strife.
America shall write his name into the
Book of Life.
And where at Armageddon we battle
with the sword,
Shall rise the newborn common.
wealth, the City Of the Lord.

The Democratic County Committee, as
sembled at Tammany Hall in its first
meeting since the Baltimore convention,
passed Charles F. Murphys resolution
last night calling upon all New York
Congressman TO hold out foe two battle
ships. Great applause marked the pas
sage Of this resolution. as well as that
OF one offered by Senator Wagner in
dorsing the candidacy of Wilson and Mar
shall. Nobody had anything to say off,
cially about the Empire State Democ-
racy.
The meeting was called to issue the
usual primary call and to fix the times
and places for the various committee
meetings, at which candidates for Con-
Eress. the Senate and the Assembly are
10 be designated. Murphy's resolution
read
The Democracy OF New York County
in meeting assembled reaff1rms It's belief
in and recognizes the wisdom of the con-
stitutional provision respecting the build
ing and the maintenance of navy. We
believe that this means the construction
of navy powerful enough TO defend the
interests of the country here and abroad
and to protect American citizens when
ever their rights are endangered
We therefore earnestly recommend
that prompt action be taken by the
Democratic Congressional representatives
lation that will secure the continued en-
Iargement Of the American navy by the
construction OF two additional battle
ships.

the time that the American Sugar Com
pany took over control OF the American
Beet Sugar Company by acquiring one
half of its common stock, Oxnard said
he tried to place his surplus product in
the Missouri River district but found
competition by the Hayemeyers that
finally resulted in them reducing the
price TO 3ls cents pound In that terri
tory. The Oxnard company then began
to ship California sugar TO New York at
the New York price, sending 1t by rail to
Galveston and New Orleans and trans
shipping thence to New York by steamer
This war lasted four or five weeks.
1t was in 1902 that Oxnard entered into
negotiations to go into the trust" He
said he felt that by so doing Dement'S
would inure to the American Beet Sugar
Company that otherwise could not be
gained. II was compromise with the
trust.
1t developed during the testimony OF
Oxnard that James G. Hamilton. capi-
talist of New York. was one OF the or
ganizers and founders Of the American
Beet Sugar Company. 1t was Hamilton
who materially assisted in financing the
merger Of all Of Oxnard's plants and tid-
