John H. Marbles death and
Charles A. Prouty's resignation
from the Interstate Commerce Com
mission will greatly weaken that
Commission. There are those who
hope that Mr.. Prouty will recon-
slider his resignation as he is a power
in thi splace and it is felt that a man
who has so much specific knowledge
at his command is needed there at
all times but especially now that
another able member has been re-
moved from the Commission.
India is a little restless and the
present Viceroy seems not to be ex-
actly forceful as diplomat. 1t is
rumored that Lord Kitchener may
be appointed Viceroy over India in

dive is the nominal ruler, of course.
England would make no mistake to
give the rule of India into the
hands of the man who can be both |
diplomat and warrior.
Postmaster General Burleson has
recommended to the Interstate
Commerce Commission that the

The Thinos We Do.

Ii isn't the thing you do. dear;
It's the thing you leave undone
Which gives YOU a bit OF heartache
At the setting of the sun.
The tender word forgotten.
The letter you did not write.
The flower you might have sent. dear
Are your haunting ghosts tonight.
The stone you might have lifted
Out of a brothers way,
The bit Of heartsome counsel
You were hurried too much to say.
The loving touch Of the hand, dear
The gentle and winsome tone,
That you had no time nor thought Tor
With troubles enough OF your own.
The little acts of kindness
So easily out OF mind.
Those chances TO be angels
Which every one may md.
They come In night n silence.
Each chill. reproachful wrath.
When hope is faint and Tagging
And a blight has dropped on faith.
For life is all too short. dear.
And SORROW is all too great.
So suffer our great compassion
That tarries until too late:
m its not the thing YOU do. dear.
It's the thing o leave undone.
Which gives you the bit OF heartache
AT the setting Of the sun.
