Such cases as the above are constantly

GOODNIGHT

When the sun sinks in the west,
When the birds are in each nest,
When the night is softly creeping,
And the twinkling stars are peeping,
When the beasts lie in their lairs
Day Is over and it's cares
Then / hear sweet voices clear
Say Goodnight, my mother dear"
And my burdens fly away
AS Goodnight softly say.
What care il rich or poor?
What care If pleasures fewer
To my life each day are falling
Than my neighbors time are thrall-
ing?
For when day is at an end
Peace and love and joy unbend
When those voices sweet and clear
Say Goodnight, my mother DEAR"
Heaven unbends, and leaning down
All my weary efforts crown.
Love demands sacrifice
And the closest Paradise
Is the home, though 'tis but humble,
Where the children romp and tumble
Though the labors may be more,
Vet when each days work is Ger
And the little voices clear
Say Goodnight. my mother dear
'Tis here woman goes to rest
Heaven locked within her breast

In town tonight will be.
To personally conduct q tour
The promised land to see.
They'll show that living costs are
Much lower than they were.
Cause plates tonight cost, not three,
But Just one-fifty per.
There'll be bouquets of all kinds,
Regardless of the cost,
Which John will throw at Jim and then
Back to John they'll be tossed.
Perhaps to Woodrow's land of
Sweet dreams the bunch will go,
And wait and watch" for brief spell
The strife in Mexico.
From there to Panama the scene
Will swiftly change, and folks
Will understand why U. S. boats
Are somthing moro than jokes.
And lots of other things in which
The President is right,
VIII no doubt be as clear as mud
When dinners DER tonight.

Please publish this poem of well

WELCOME
BY Il. II. M. Sours, of Mechanicsburg.
The Fields are white to the harvest,
The laborers are few."
But the earth is laved in sunshine,
And the skies are stainless blue:
And we wondered, ah! we wondered
Who our stranger-chief would be
To muster the hosts of harvesters
On the fields of destiny.
Above us the Lord of harvest
From his holy heaven looked down
From the imminent heaven looked
down.
To smile on the faithful workers,
And the toil-wearied brow to crown
With the kisses of Love Imperial
With the star -bedecked crown when
at last
Beyond the amethyst portal
The day Of toll is past.
But we wondered, ah! we wondered.
In the fields of destiny,
For the reaping for garners eternal
Who the harvest-chief should be.
And stranger came: God sent him,
To people whose hearts are true
Whose yearning hearts are true
And we haste to rally around him
And his hands to strengthen, too,
For the sweat and the toll of the laoor,
For the field indeed but waits
For the gathering in of the harvest
To glad the celestial gates.
God bless the pastor conier!- s-
And hearten us for the toll.
May no warm wave of summer
Lull hearts to dull recoil
But, armed with sickles sharpened,
Go we forth, an eXultant band,
With song and vim and gusto,
With earnest heart and hand.
God bless the pastor-comer,
And the pastor who went away
May both have love and blessing;
May both the victor's lay
Sing when the years glad evening
Its roseate hueS shall fling
Ger the precious sheaves of harvest
For the gamers of Christ the King.
We face year of labor.
OF earnest, triumphant prayer:
We face year of loyalty,
And the sunbeams simmer there.
God grant that the bands of harvest
toll
In handclasp shall go forth
For the glory of triumphant work
For the God of all the earth.
! "The fields are white to harvest:
o let our earnest prayer
Go forth to the King of the harvest
field
Till the stars are shining there.
And ever with handicap loyal,
With our harvest chief new come
Will we strive for the harvest royal
To make glad the eternal Home.

KrTcHIN AS HOUSE LEADER
philadelphia Pressl

In selecting Mr.. Underwood as the
leader of the House the Democrats
put their best foot forward. But in
selecting his successor they are ap-
parently committed to putting for
ward a foot that is lame and halt so
far as party progress is concerned,
and taking II step that the country
has good reason to fear.
Already the new leader has been Sc
lected, If the word of the person most
interested be accepted. Representa-
tive Kitchin announces that he has
secured more than enough pledges to
assure him the chairmanship of the
ways and means committee and the
party. leadership in the House. He
represents in Congress q North Caro-
lima district, and his home residence
is Scotland Neck, a place that map
makers seem to be in a conspiracy TO
ignore. What his views are on the
tariff are well known to those manu-
facturers who appeared before the
ways and means com nittee at their
hearings last year. He was chief
haZer of all who dared to say that
they believed i'll a protective tariff,
and that rates of duty are necessary
for American manufacture to be car
ried on at profit and at the Ameri-
can scale of wages.
row. His experience has not fitted
him for any such position. He mas
the prejudices of the small town and
it's restricted outlook. He has no
conception of the great currents of
commerce and trade. They have never
flowed where his life has been spent.
He is q lawyer who practices his pro-
fession in his home place of Scotland
Neck. He has never come in real
contact with the industry of the coun
try, and is ignorant of its needs. His
leadership OF the House of Represen-
tatives would mean radicalism with
the loud pedal, and hostility towards
the interests of the producer of the
United States.
Here is additional reason why the
next Congress should be taken out of
the hands of Democracy. The coun-
try knows to-day what to expect from
a Democratic House of Representa-
tives, even when the party leadership
is able, experienced and as broad
gauge as party tenets will permit
What would be the result Of such
leadership as is now proposed can
easily be imagined. Tho warning OF
what is to come IL Democracy is sue
cessful in the election of this Fall Is
timely 1t should result in removing
the last doubt as to the absolute nee
essity of a Republican majority in the
next House of Representatives.

Great barren mountains heaped

That blaZes in it's faultIess. mock

An endless, thirsty desert where no

Nor rain nor Spring nor winter can

No song of any life; where hot

With stinging sands the bleached
gray plants whose hue
The very thoughts of April green

PEOPLE DEMAND ACCOUNTING

~ RESIDENT WILSON and his
party have come to the point
- where the people demand a show
down. having patiently waited
more than year for the making good
OF the promises of a Democratic cam
paign. After twelve months of abso-
Lutte control of the government at
Washington the people have reason to
expect an accounting of the steward
ship Of Woodrow Wilson. One after
another the most solemn pledges have
been broken. Thousands of working
men who were promised a reduction
OF the high cost of living are not now
so much concerned about the cost of
living as they are over their failure tn
procure employment to get any kind
OF living. Tariff tinkering and all
kinds Of legislative panaceas have been
offered instead of'the more practica,
and common sense features of a gov
eminent of the people, by the people
and for the people.
Everywhere the words of the inn
mortal Lincoln are heard and work
ing-men who never before understood
the meaning of the tariff are quoting
the martyr President who said when
we buy of a foreign nation, we get the
goods, but 1t gets our money; when
we buy of an American maker, the
United States keeps both the goods
and the money"
The civil service system to which
President Wilson was pledged has
been thrown to the winds to satisfy
tho demands of a party hungry for
spoils; men of experience have been
dismissed from responsible positions
to make room for those who are feast
ing upon the rewards of political SER
vice, and our diplomacy has brought
upon us the contempt of foreign ma
tions.
President Wilson's "watchful wait
ing" policy with respect to Mexico.
his dickering over diplomatic posts to
please small men, his removal of
trained representatives OF the govern
ment in foreign stations to provide
places for inexperienced place hunt
ers, and the general attitude Of the
administration on International ques-
tons have made Uncle Sam the laugh
ing stock of the world. Meanwhile the
fuglemen of the President in Pennsyl-
vania and elsewhere throughout the
country are insisting that he can
make no mistakes; that he is always
right.
Since the first of January thousands
aof men have been furloushed ON the
railroads, hundreds of factories have
heen closed and the depression from
coast TO coast is greater than has beer
