There's too much buncombe floatin'
aroun'.
You can't go here and you can't go
there
And you can't go travelin' anywhere
But what some Teller is on your trail
With a sure investment that cannot
fail.
He tells you how you kin git rich
quick.
And his method. it sounds purity dog
gone slick.
He tells you how to make dollars
grow
Until you will jes' be rollin' in dough.
He'll sell you mine stock fer song
That's goin' to double before very
long.
You feel yourself ownin' an oatmobiIe,
A place in the country and one in
town
And a private yacht fer a dollar down
Or else some invention he has got
That's goin' to clean up a powerful lot
OF coin inside a year or two
1t is a bonanza through and through
Be wise, my son, and refuse to hear
And turn to the slickers your plaster
ear,
For if his scheme meant so burned
much peIf
This Teller would be runnin' it himself
Hang onto your dough fer a rainy day
And make your money in the good old
way.
Save up your dollars as wise folks do
And the poorhouse never will yawn
for you"

THE MAN THAT Is To BE


Nay, weep not for the darling
That fades so swift away
The rosy beam of morning
Must lose itself in day.
o mother, glad and downcast,
o heart of gloom and glee,
Think of the glorious noontide--
The man that is to be!
Not long thine arms of loving
With tender loving care
May fold the gift of heaven
In their embraces fair.
But mother, proud and humble,
The stream must seek the sea;
Think of the splendid future
The man that is to bel
For him the Lords anointed
The suns and stars shall shine.
For him shall largeSs be outpoured 9
O. radiant fire divine
For him shall robes of purple
Be spun of destiny.

FROM OTHER PENS
SPEEDING UP THE TARIFF BILL.


The greatest service congress can do
the country is to speed up considera-
ton of the tariff bill and hasten the
date of final vote. Everywhere bust
ness men are mainly concerned in TIE
date when the new customs duties will
become effective. Petitions sent to
congress and publications in many
states bear testimony to this fact. Yet
despite the urgency of action, MEM
bers of congress are overindulging in
the temptation to talk. Democrats are
as notorious offenders as Republicans
knowledge that the measure will be
judged by its final effect rather than
by what is said now, has not restrained
the irresistible flow of words. Repub-
Hcan senators and those Democrats
who are opposed to currency revision
are reconciled to this orgy of talk, be-
cause it furthers their plans. Other
wise they would probably be Tuning
/ with impatience. The Constitution re-
gretS to note a lack of driving power
among the Democratic leaders IT,
would be a national calamity for them
now to justify the predictions of inef-
ficiency long urged against Democratic
statesmen. What the country expects
from them now is action and not talk.
Arguments against the bill do not have
to be answered word for word, at a
double consumption of time. Let the
measure speak for itself. The futility
OF debate should be apparent, since no
amount of talk can now alter a single
vote. Let us have action.-AtIanra
PARADING OUR INIQUITIES
A. Maurice Low, writing from WASH
ington to the National Review, the
English Tory organ, says that the most
curious thing about the American '1s
the pleasure with which he befouls his
own nest" He says that no foreigner,
however bigoted, abuses the American
nation as the American himself does.
He says the Englishman is inclined to
keep silent when he sees something in
America that is shameful. Mr.. Low
is right in saying that Americans are
given to showing up their own iniqui-
ties. He is wrong when he says they
do it apparently with PRIDE An Amer
lean shows up vicious conditions that
they may be corrected. The English
man, who is silent about Americas
shortcomings, is not so purely from
kindly motives, but because it has been
his habit to be equally silent about af-
fairs at home. Only recently have con-
ditions in England been freely talked
about America, apart from muck-rak-
ing, has believed in a publicity that
foreign nations do not practice. By
dragging things into the light it has
seemed more likely that they would
be understood property and corrected
There have been irresponsible muck
raking and cheap criticism in abund-
ance, but the general purpose back of
publicity for political scandals in this
country been good.-St. Paul Dis
