HIS "WILD OATS"
By EDITH M. THOMAS.

[ His face is long and his fOrelock is gray;
Good old boy" very likely you'd say
Yet he's sowing his wild oats!
Well is he known in these city streets:
You can count on the program he daily repeats
Time and place where he drinks and
con the hour of he dotes.)
u Ut wherever he goes. the proof is
ID Of his lavish ways-it is traced in green.
The very pavement stones between.
That he's sowing his wild oats,
l'rodigal? Yes, he careessy spends
The bounty that luck providence sends;
hut he never borrows. and never lends
And he never CRAFTS votes
A SERVANT-he isn't in anyOne's pay.
~ Takes what he gets and has nothing TO say;
His faithful plodding day by day
An honest life connotes
one of the cty's working force:

And he's sowing his wild oats!

subjected to two operations. Mrs. An

result that she changed from bright

When the great expenses attendant
on these mishaps were paid she found
herself not only absolutely poor, but
rendered incapable Of the slightest
effort to turn her many and varied
talents to account in order to earn
livelihood. She came to London,

REF PUBL ICAN RANKS
IN SENAT SPLIT
OVER TARIFF BILL
Progressive Faction Holds
Conferences to Organize
Fight on Underwood
Simmons Schedules

WASHINGTON July as.--A division
in the republican ranks over the revi-
sion Of the tariff became apparent to-
day. when nearly dozen progressive
republican senators began series or
conferences to perfect substitute sched-
ules that will be offered to the tariff
bill under the leadership Of Senators
La Toilette and Cummins.
The progressive republican move has
grown out of the belief of the lead
ing senators identified with that fac
tion that they would be unable to sup
port Senator Shoots substitute for the
wooden tariff The Smoot substitute
was prepared some time ago and in
troduced at the time the democratic
tariff bill came back from the finance
committee. The progressive republl-
cans practically have agreed to center
their fight about the La Toilette sub
stitute. In the hope that they can carry
the remainder of republicans with them
and possibly win some democrats.
Progress on the tariff bill in the SEN
ate was slow today. Prepared speeches
were made by Senator'S Townsend and
Warren, republicans. and short assaults
occurred throughout. the afternoon upon
specific items which the republicans
held to be too radical reductions from
existing rates.
The conferences which beSan toudy
are expected to solidify the progressive
element and to bring about ne"
alignment of the republican forces.
