BEATCHU TO 1T

You may not know that spring is brewing
That all the kitty fish are mewng
But that's exactly what they're doing
These balmy times;
That garlic rows are in a study;
That bleednghearts are getting bloody
That spring rains come to make It muddy
And for rhymes.
And while we're glad It isn't showing
And that the soft south wind is blowing,
The radlsh with the pith Is growing
In these sweet days;
Up goes the Juice In all things sappy
Dogfennel weeds are getting snappyj
And editors and roosters happy
Because Of lays.
The bird that is the early riser
Gets rep" as we'll appetizer,
But the other worms, fools none the wiser
Arise to rue IL.
With Tulsa always in deep clover,
Like bunny when pursued by Rover,
She simply had to slip this over

A Popular Choice.
Raymond Polncare's selection for
the presidency, although made by
parliament, as required by the consti-
tuition, is regarded as representing az
wei the popular will OF the nation.
The new president is now in his
ooIu year ne ~ VI ultulul ntlEHlt

sion of force both physical and intel
lectual. He has a pecuiarity Of nev-
er sending his clients bills for legal
services, always saying they may send
him whatever they consider to be the
value of his work
Americans who have met the pre-
mler have always found him interest
ed IN the development and the instl-
tutlons of the United States and ac-
curately Informed on the larger as
poets Of current American affairs.
As foreign minister, Poincare great
ly facilitated the work Of Ambassa-

No Faith in the People.

The presidents word Of warning
followed a similar review OF the No
vember result. He said the demo-
cratic party found itself a victor be-
tween the republican party, deemed
conservative, and the progressive
party, called radical.
"I cannot be convinced" said the
president, that the American people
have reached the point where they are
willing to adopt a new method Of
government without any limitation on
the majority. We are awaiting a new
,dspensation and as Americans we
are all hoping that the choice of the
people will rebound to the benefit Of
the country"
The program of his successor the
president called Ambitious" and he
mentioned briefly tariff revision; the
proposal to emancipate the poor"
and the militant spirit that is to
grind down all wrong and elevate all
right"
Still Stands Pat.
"If this program can be ca-sled out
in one or two Of three terms or de-
cades," said Mr.. Taft eve would be
glad to wait It's coming.
"I don't wish to be put in the at
titude Of oposng progress. All ] wish
to say that It is your term and your
move. If you succeed we applaud and
IL you don't then our judgment will
be better than yours and we shall
have taken, not the more brilliant and
enticing paths but the safest course
along which lies real progress for
mankind"

the absence of means Of ascertaining
the character of the business done
by the banks that have made huge
profits in comparatively short time,
it Is manifestly impossible for the com

to what extent, these banks and their
funds have been used and are being

In announcing the suspension Of the
oral hearings, Chairman Pujo points
out that there are still upwards Of
forty witnesses on the committees
list who have not yet been examined
and many important subjects bearing
on the inquiry that have not been
touched upon.

are veritable ovens. Coupled with the
high humidity, the heat is bearing
heavily upon the veterans and the
hospitals are being overworked. Five
deaths occurred yesterday.
Today was military day in the re-
union. The heroes of the civil war
were especially honored
As an effort to break the Ill effects
of the heat, it has been decided to
tone down the enthusiasm of the vet
Grams. To this end the saloons will be
closed nightly at 10:30 to prevent the
possibility of midnight reunions. which
are sapping the veterans vitality.
Gov. Cox of Ohio. learning that
many veterans from his state were not
provided with accommodations, per-
sonally rented a field near the battle
ground and erected many tents for
the convenience of those who are
shelterless.

New York Stock Broker Says He Tele-
.OhOned Officials of Hartman Lines
in Behalf of Edward Lauterbach-
Represented himself TO be Certain
Congressmen.

Washington, July 2.-David Lamar.
a New York stock broker testified
before the insidious lobby investigat-
ing committee today. admitting he had
impersonated congressman and 9TH
ers of national fame in telephoning
officials of the Hartman lines in be-
half of Edward Lauterbach, an attor-
ney.
Lamar insisted he was asked to do
this by friends of Lauterbach and that
he only wanted to secure for the law
yer perfectly legal employment" He
said he telephoned Lovett. chairman
of the board of directors of the Union
Pacific, and Paul Cravath. a New
York banker. representing himself to
be a representative of Congressman
Riordan of New York.
Judge Lovetts statement" SAID
Lamar, that Edward Lauterbach
tried to blackmail him is untrue. Lau-
terbach is a little man with a big
heart. He is man who cannot keep
a dollar in his pocket because he can
not bear to see suffering. Mr.. Chair
man, will tell you of the greatest bit
of lobbying the world has ever known.
In 1901 someone forged the books OF
the Union Pacific to the amount of
SS2,000,0o0. l don't know who. but
that sum was the fulcrum by which
the most gigantic combine in the coun-
try was formed"
Lamar then detailed a complicated
system whereby it was alleged the
Union Pacific juggled assets and then
borrowed its full value on fictitious
property.
