THE wAsHERwoMAN,s SONG

By Eugene Ware.
She was humming all day long;
In very humble cot,
In a rather quiet spot.
In the suds and in the soap,
Worked woman full of hope;
Working, singing, all alone,
In a sort of undertone;
with a Savior for a friend,
He will keep me to the end
Sometimes, happening along.
had heard the semi-song,
And / often used to smile,
More in sympathy than guile;
But 1 never said a word
In regard to what I heard,
As she sang about her friend,
Who would keep her to the end.
Not in sorrow nor in glee
Working all day long was she,
As her children, three or four,
PLAYED around her on the floor;
But in monotones the song
She was drumming all day long;
with the Savior for a friend.
He will keep me to the end
It's song do not sing
For | scarce believe thing
III the StulleS tndI are told
OF the miracles of old;
But | know that her belief
Is the anodyne OF grief
And will always be a friend
That will keep her TO the end
Just trihe lonesome she,
Just as poor as poor could be;
But her spirits always rose,
Like the bubbles in the clothes,
And. though widowed and alone,
Cheered her with the monotone,
OF a Savior and a friend
Who would keep her to the end.
I have seen her rub and scrub,
On that dashboard in the tub.
While the baby, sopped In suds,
Rolled and tumbled In the buds,
Or was padding in the pools.
With old scissors stuck in spools;
She still humming of her friends
Who would keep her to the end.
Human hopes and human creeds
Have their root in human needs:
And should not wish to strir
From that washerwoman's
Any song that she can sill
Any hope that songs can brsns
For the woman has q frien
Who will keep her to the sd

FORMAL ARGUMENT
 AGAINST KINNEY BILL
One Filed Yesterday by T. Olea With
 Secretary of State

The Kinney bill has come in for some rather rude jolts at the hands of Deputy Sheriff Teodore Olea who has filed an argument against it in the office of the secretary of state. Persons familiar with the law relating to initiative petitions and the other machinery of direct legislation are aware that prOtestants against bills sought to be enacted in this way have the privilege of presenting their ar guments and of having these argu- ments printed on the ballots It is this part of the law of which Olea has avalcd himself
 MT. Olea submits as one of his ar guments that the enactment of such legislation will deprive a large mum Der of Mexican citizens and residents of labor in the mines and will throw out of such employment all those who do not speak English. He says there will be five or six thousand directly affected by the act and that at least 10000 Mexican people will be ren dered homeless.
 It is also pointed out that many of these people own their homes near the mines and that if the Kinney bill be enacted into law these homes must be sacrificed. and the children of the workmen deprived eof the privi- lege of learning the language becom- ing educated. and developing into citizens of the United States.
 In conclusion the proposition is de- nounced as cruel unfair. unjust and un- n-AmeriCan.
