From the warm Mexico Gulf, or where
Belted with flowers Los Angeles
Basks in the semi tropic air,
To where Katahdin's cedar trees
Dwarfed and bent by Northern winds
Thy plenty's horn is yearly filled;
Alone, the rounding century finds
Thy liberal soil by free hands titled.
A refuge for the wronged and poor,
Thy heart has borne the blame;
That, with them, thru thy open door,
The Old Worlds evil outcasts came.
But, with thy just and equal rule,
Labor's need and breadth of lands,
Free press and [libraryl, church and
school,
Thy sure, transforming hands.
Shall mould even them to thy design,
Making a blessing of the ban;
And Freedoms chemistry combine,
The alien elements of the man.
The power that broke their prison bar
And set the dusky millions free,
And welded in the flame of war,
The Union fast to Liberty.

Alone to such as fifty bear
Thy civic honors bid them fall?
And call thy daughters forth to share
The rights and duties pledged to all
Give every child his right of school,
Merge private greed in public good,
And spare treasury overfui,
The tWx u5on a poor mans food?
No lack was in thy primal stock,
No weakling founders builded here;
Thine were the men of Plymouth Rock,
The Huguenot and Cavalier.
And thine shall be the power of all
To do the work which duty bids;
And make the peoples council hall
AS lasting as the Pyramids.
Thy great world-lesson all shall learn
The nations in thy school shall sit,
Earth's farthest mountaln-tops shall
burn
With watch-fres from thy own uplit
Great without seeking to be great,
By fraud or conquest, rich in gold;
But richer in the large estate,
OF virtue which thy children hold.
With peace that comes of purity,
And strength to simple justice due;
SO runs our loyal dream of thee,
God of our fathers!-make it true.

In future task before thee set
Thou shalt not lack the old-time aid.

Why count the loss and not the gain T?
The best is that we have to-day.

Mr.. Wick Is best known in Washing
ton as the executive secretary Of tho
Wilson-Marshall inaugural committee
He comes from Rutherford. N. j., and
was one of the original Wilson demo-
Gratis. He was secretary of the Wilson
campaign committee, and at once gained
considerable notice by changing all the
business methods of the campaign.
Scored in Wilson Campaign.
1t is said that he squeezed all the
graft out of the campaign by forcing
all contractors to show a bid and a
receipt for all the work done.
His business methods made such an
impression on Mr.. Wilson that after his
election he is said to have offered Mr.
Wick the office of commissioner of
fisheries. Mr.. Wick declined this posi-
ton, claiming he knew nothing about
fish. 1t is understood that Mr.. Wick was
consulted as to what job he would like,
and is believed to have himself selected
