TWO MEN
By Emil Carl Anrin

Two men there live in every town
With lives as like as nuts of brown;
But one wears smile, the other a
frown
For the one looks upand the other
one down.
The one that looks up is merry
chap
With a hearty hello and friendly
slap,
While his neighbor, Crouch, across
the way
Has seldom friendly word to say.
The things they see are just the same
But the one will praise, the other
one blame,
A rose bush for one has flowers
grand 7
For the other but thorns that prick
his hand.
If it happens to rain, why Crouch
will say,
"Tis beastly, nasty, stormy day."
While smiles will laugh as the drops
come down
"Twill lay the dust on the way to
town"
They work side by side, and when
night comes along
Smile starts for his home with
snatch of a song,
Happy in knowing his days work is
through
Crouch only thinks of the chores
yet to do.
And thus through life they go
along,
Crouch with a grunt, Smiles with
song;
One always happy, the other one
blue
And now, dear friend, which one are
you? ,I-~

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb, Us
Signs of resuscitaticn on the part Of
the Republican party are now clearly
visible. Republicans in Congress
who did not work tremendously in
the last campaign are getting toge-
Their The breach between the fac
lions is closing and there is promise
of a reunited party by next fall.
This is not forecast but statement
of a condition which is rapidly be-
coming apparent. The statements
issued recently by Senator Root OF
New York, and Senator Crane OF
Massachusetts, as suggested by
Hadley, Borah, Cummins and other
progressives, favoring the calling OF
| a national convention later in the
year, at which certain important
causes of past dissension were to be
considered and remedied, is the lat
est evidence of the development OF
the harmony movement.
Only four Senators scoffed at the
harmony plan, namely: Dixon, Mon
tana; Bristow, Kansas; Clapp. Min
nesota; and Poindexter, Washington,
Dixon is chairman of the Progress
sive national committee, but ceases
to be "a senator on March 4th. But
such progressive Republicans, as
Borah. LaFollettc, Kenyon, and
others indorse the movement.
Senator Borah Yves especially
pleased with the developments Of
the harmony movement, and said
that his state would continue to
stay Republican. Borah favored
the nomination of Col. Roosevelt at
Chicago, but refused to follow him
in his bolt.
For a week or ten days now the
Republicans, conservatives and rad
icals have been working together in
the Senate in a most astonishing of
good nature and good will. The
new steering committee of the Sen
ate consists of Senators Root,
Smoot and Oliver, conservatives,
and Cummins and LaFollette, radi-
Gals, end these men have been get
ting along in entire harmony. The
program they adopted for the re-
mainder of the session contained
four progressivcs measures when
LaFollette has been urging and one
of Which Crawford, of North OAK
ota, another radical, is the author
One Of these measures provides for
the physical valuation of railroads
which the interstate commerce COM
mittee has favorably reported, and
which LaFollette has been advocat-
ing for many years.
