The Children.

They came to me, the children, all the
children, yours and mine,
And the laughter Of them sparkles
like the bubbles in the wine;
They Irvine their arms about me ana
their eyes look up at me,
And the sweetness OF their voices 10
my rarest melody.
All the love that slumbers in me they
awaken with their cries,
And tn cir babel is the sunshine and
h blue of sunny skies,
And the. ripple of the moonlight on
the water, and they win
Such an open-hearted welcome when
they knock and would come In.
They came to me, the children. with
their carols and their tunes, "
And their curls are bright and sunny
like h gold in afternoons, a
When they ronp in the field and orch>
ard and they bid me lift my yes
To the sun that shines above me and
the arch of cloudless skies,
To the glory of the blossoms where
the apple trees are white.
To the hedge all shot with color, and
they bid my heart be light.
For the world is full of sweetness, else
they could not e'er have been.
And my heart is standing open when
they knock and would come in.
And my Father, bless the children,
and my brothers bless them too.
And my sisters. know how happy is
child heart and true.
I will pray this day at even that the
heart that beats in me
May keep all its childish sweetness
just as long as life shall be.
I will pray my ayes may open into
your eyes with a gaze
That is frank and clear and honest az
1t was In those far days.
n I thank thee, heart. for beating
mid this clatter and this din,
Just the knocking OF the children,
and 1 bid You let them in.

MADISON, Wis, July AIN
signed article, under the capt.. n
King Caucus" Senator Robert M
LaFolette, in his magazine today sc.
verely criticises the action OF senate
Democrats in handling the tariff bill
in caucus. He says in part:
For the first time in the history
OF tariff legislation a bill is to be writ
ten into law by a secret caucus. Re-
gardless Of the character of the
measure, this proceeding merits the
severest criticism.
1T is conceivable that party eau
Gus may ignore party advantage and
all political considerations In framing
legislation. IL may act solely for
what is believed TO be the public good,
but such procedure is SO antagon-
istic to every principle of representa-
tive government that nothing can
Justify or excuse so pernicious a
precedent in legislation.
"The procedure in the senate on
the tariff bill is a repetition of the
action Of the house on the same
measure.
Senators were not elected TO the
Democratic caucus. They were elect
ed TO the United States senate. They
were elected TO perform their legisla
tive functions in the open senate and
not In secret caucus.
Even though legislation of great
public importance were TO be enact
cd by such methods, 1t is too dear a
price to pay for it."

Particularly Bitter Against Non
Partisan Ballot Which Re-

Having killed al lelection law re-
forms, emasculated the recall pro-
vision OF the initiative and referen-
DUN plan, and raised the salary of
nearly every city official in sight, the
charter commission completed the
first stage of its work, Thursday, and

or the 80 days allowed the commits
sion, with pay, 63 have elapsed. Dur

committee. consisting of a majority
of the commission. will meet every
morning and afternoon. During the
afternoon sessions, the commission
will be called to order so the men,
bers' names can go on the payroll.
and those members who have no pri-
vate business interests. will remain
and help out the revision committee.
The non-partisan ballot was forced
through the commission by the re-
form element. and though compelled
to swallow ii in the commission, the
reactionaries are planning to get out
and defeat the charter If possible
when 1t is submitted to the people.
All the ward politicians In the city
are lining up against the non-partisan
ballot because II makes organization
difficult and robs machines of their
effectiveness.
The Thursday afternoon session
was given over to quick action on
proposals which had been tacitly ac-
cepted before. Commissioner Funk's
labor report, with which the commits
sion was generally agreed, was re-
ferred to the revision committee.
Some OPPOSITION was developed against
requiring the union scale Of wages to
be paid all city employees and the
use OF the union label on city print
ing. Mr.. DENLY suggested that these
provisions might be unconstitutional
and most of the commissioners we're
OF the opinion that prevailing wage"
would be a safer term to use to serve
the same purpose. An eigh.hour
working day provision was unani
mously supported.
Commissioner Heating has pro-
posal TO incorporate the boiler and
building inspection departments with
the newly-created department of cleo
tricity. Strong opposition to this Is
expected in the committee. Mr.. Keat.
ing also asked that some law be
passed which will lallow city physi
clans to see victims of street car &C.
cidents In all case before lawyers
and doctors from the ID. U. r. reach
them.
The provisions relative to the cor.
poration counsel's office were adopted
Thursday afternoon without material
change except that the department
will have adde dto its duties the spe.
cial counsel work for the various com
missions.

GETTYSBURG, Pa, July 4.-The
president OF the United States in per
son honored the veterans of the Civil
war today. Incidentally for tho first
time southern.born executive
mingled with the warriors of half a
century ago on the Gettysburg battle
field and talked to them of what the
conflict. in which they took part,
meant 10 the men and women of the
present generation. Ii was the eli
max of an eventful week and marked
the end OF what will probably be the
last great reunion of the survivors OF
the war between the states.
The president made the trip from
Washington to this town by train
AS he stepped from his car he was
greeted by a presidential salute from
the regular army battery parked on
the battlefield and mingled cheers
and rebel yells from the blue and
gray grizzled veterans who had
thronged to the station 10 greet him
An escort OF cavalry was waiting and
conducted the president just off the

the formal exercises were staged at

Many OF the old soldiers had
planned to leave yesterday, but re.

chief executive and the reception ac-
corded President Wilson was a fitting
climax to week of tears and cheers,

Today's event was really In the ma

as the regular program was con-

battlefield.
The band concert was followed by
the shrill notes of the fife and the
roll OF drums as the veterans brought
their old-time instruments into play
and for three hours there was one
general publication. All hands start
ed for the big tent to greet the presi-
dent.
The president was cheered time
and time again when he spoke as
follows:

men in blue and gray sit all about us
