POETRY.

Those of us who by way of surprise
came to know of Rabindranath Ia
gore will learn sooner or later that
he is really poet We are not ac-
customed to think of Eastern mind
with its ponderous movements and
slow to change, as susceptible of those
finer influences which characterize
poetic feeling and sentiment This
new winner of the Noble Prize like
John Milton does not necessarily have
to tag" his lines in order for one to
tell that they are poetry. The Eng
lish press is now very frequently
adorned with clippings from his re-
cent writings, the following being
characteristic example,
"Joy is the final appeal to man, but
JOY is and joy is everywhere; it is in
the earth's green covering of grass;
in the blue serenity of the sky: in
the reckless exhuberance of spring:
in the severe abstinence of gray win
ter; in the living flesh that animates
our bodily frame; in the perfect pose
of the human figure, noble and up
right; in living; in the exercise of all
our powers; in the acquisition of
knowledge; in fighting evils; in dying
for gains we never can share. JOY
is there everywhere; it is superfuous,
unnecessary; nay, it very often con-
tradicts the most peremptory behests
of necessity. 1t exists to show that
the bonds of law can only be explained
by love; they are like body and soul.
Joy is the realization of the truth of
oneness, the oneness of our soul with
the world and of the world-soul with
the supreme lover"

Swat the Fly"

Stop the fy's unwholesome buzz,
Handsome is as handsome does.
The fly desiminates disease,
So therefore you should swat.
Unswatted flies are very bad,
But swatted flies are not.
The fly annoys the helpless horse,
So you may swat without remorse.
The wicked fly, he carries dirt,
SO swat him till your shoulders hurt
If you'd rather live than die
Roll up your sleeves and swat the fly
If you want to be healthy and wise
Don't neglect to swat the flies.

As the Spring and Summer season

UNITED STATES AND MEXICO

Senator Clarke in his speech yester-
day outlined clearly the position of
the United States Government and
the Administration on the Mexican
situation. The Administration does
not believe that it is wise to undertake
to send 100000 soldiers to Mexico to
quell the riots and internal distur-
Dances of that rebellious and half
civilized people. 1t would take ten
years or more to completely bring
them to realization of the fact that
they are in no sense an organized
Government and it may take even
fifty years or one or more centuries
to educate Mexican people to the point
where they will be capable of main
tanning a republican form of govern
ment 1t is a distinct sign of strength
in the administration to have reached
this conclusion. The more hasty con
clusion would have been a serious
disturbance of our social and COM
mercial status and would have cost
millions of dollars in the end to say
nothing of the cost of life and health
and happiness of our people. 1t is
simply another evidence of the fact
that the United States is perhaps the
foremost nation of the world as an
advocate of universal peace.

LETTER FROM
WESTBROOK, TEXAS

Editor News:
l write once more to inform nv
friends among the News readers that
| am still in the ring despite con-
dltlons climatic and otherwise. out
here.
With the exception of two light
ralns-mere sprinkles-and few
flakes of snow, there has been no pre-
clpltation here since December 16.
All the rain and snow combined if it
had fallen at once would not have wet
the ground more than an inch.
This is the ninth of March and not
enough rain in nearly 3 months to
make the roads muddy. Now wouldn't
that be remarkable in Arkansas?
The ground is getting too dry to
pillow and water in tanks and lakes ETC.
Is rapidly drying up, and to me, who
mas always been used to an abundant
and often excessive rainfall at this
time of the year, the outlook is some
what blue to say the least of it.
The old citizens here tell me not to
get alarmed. They say if they can
get rain by the first of May and two
or three good showers later on they
feel safe about crop.
Farm work is about at stand still
now and will be until we have rain.
Hunting rabbits and coyotes-going
to town once or twice week, visiting
our neighbors, reading the Mexican
war news, etc, and going to the
Saturday evening ball game is the
way we while away our leisure time.
This is evidently a fine country for
lazy fellow, if he can just keep from
starving to death.
received letter from my friend
James B. Bright of Vernon, Texas,
the past week. He writes that he and
family are all well and that every
thing is all O. X. over there except
the oat crop which is very badly dam

who is running planning mill at
Dyersdale, Texas, which is situated Is
miles from Houston on the Frisco, R

GIVE THE NEW TARIFF A
CHANCE.

The election of a Democratic House
this fall will foreclose tariff agitation
in the United States for a lond period
ten years or more. That would
mean steady conditions and rapid ex-
.pansion of American business and in
dustry.
Before the European war broke out
the New York Journal of Commerce
stated that the Underwood tariff had
proved a boon to consumers, with a
minimum disturbance of business. If
the country is free of tariff agitation
after the foreign war is over, COM
merce will fully adjust itself to the
new conditions. The judgment of the
commercial world strongly opposes an
other long period of tariff controversy.
If Republican House is elected, its
first act would be to bring in what
ever kind of tariff its mixed ele-
ments could agree upon. With that as
foundation it would start out upon
two years of warfare calculated to
handicap the operation of the Under
wood tariff and popularize some coun-
ter proposition. That would involve,
simply, two years more of uncertainty
and timidity. The question confront
ing the average bushes man at the
fall elections is merely that Of whether
he chooses to be the football of
heterogeneous, undesirable mob of
"outs" seeking to become Ems" Shall

THE "HOTTEST DAY"

One hundred and six years ago
July -, 1S0S-was the date of Eng
lands hottest day"
Meteorological observations were
unknown in 1903, and the statements
regarding the torridity of that famous
hot Wednesday, may have been ex-
aggerated, but it was doubtless the
hottest day England has ever known.
Thermometers varied widely, and
some registered as low as "a, while a
thermometer on the shady side of the
Strand affirmed a temperature of 101.
The highest temperature ever re-
corded scientifically was a fraction
over 124 degrees, taken in Algeria,
on the edge of the desert, on July, II,
1879.
America has come very near to the
worlds record, however, and it is note
worthy that on this side of the Allan
