Should the charges that have been
heaped on the president of the White

were better dead than alive.
But will they stand, or will they fall

cussers who took It upon themselves
to judge before the facts were sub

1t is one thing to call a man a
coward, and another to prove it
Every man is entitled to his day in

court with clean hands.
Clean hands indeed, hands that were
turned to writing scathing editorials
and rawing singing cartoons during
hours when the whole world waited

a wholly visible machine, has
every new, up-to-date feature,

sells regularly for less and on

His death has brought the Bit
ter cup of sorrow to the lips OF
friends and relatives. He was q
good boy-brave. generous and
manly.
1t is sad at any time to stand
beside the bed of the dying and
watch life's ebbing tide drifting
the loved one slowly, perhaps.
but surely into the great ocean
of eternity, but when there comes
whispering from parched lips
Though l walk through
the valley of the shadow of death
l will fear no evil; for Thou art
with me; Thy rod and Thy staff
they comfort me-" it brings a
balm to the wounded heart.
To the broken hearted father,
mother, brothers and sisters,
who sit in sorrow where his foot
steps shall never again find echo,
the people extend sympathy.
When they have drained the cup
may the peace that passeth all
understanding come to them
from One who cares for each lit
tie sparrow that falls.
