Power. who died one year ago to-day, Feb
ruary 18th, 1918.
The trial Is hard. the pain is severe,
To part with one we loved so dear,
But in our hearts he will remain
Until we meet In Heaven again.
Farewell. dear father, you are at rest
And will forever be,
You would not stay with us on earth,
But we can 90 TO thee.
Our hearts are so dreary.

Ne'er will home be the sa me.
No father TO guide us
Wherever we roam,
No sweet, loving smile
To greet us at home.
Oh, those beautiful, beautiful hands,
We shall clasp them again once more
As our feet touch the banks Of tn,
heavenly land,
When we meet on that shining shore.

VIII Not Debate Nation's Promises.

In letter to William L. Marbury, which
he made public. President Wilson explained
with characteristic candor and clarity his
objections to exempting American ships
from tolls to be levied at the Panama
Canal. He also took occasion in the letter
to pay an unusually warm and high tribute
to the character and services of Secretary
of State Bryan. The letter reads as follows ::
My Dear Mr. Marbury
have your letter of January 80. 1t is
always pleasure to hear from you. |
shall be very glad to discuss with you the
question of District policy you allude to.
will try to set an early date for the con-
ference.
With regard to the question Of the canal
tolls, my opinion is very clear. The ex-
emption constitutes very mistaken policy
from every point of view. 1t is economic
ally unjust as matter of fact, it benefits,
for the present at any rate, only mo-
nopoly. and it seems to me in clear viola
ton of the terms of the Hay-Pauncefote
treaty
There is. of course, much honest differ
ence of opinion as to the last point, as
there is, no doubt, as to the others but it
is at least debatable. and If the promises
we make in such matters are debatable !,
for one, do not care to debate them. |
think the country would prefer to let no
question arise as to its whole-hearted pur-
pose to redeem its promises in the light of
any reasonable construction of them rather
than debate point of honor.
Your reference to the Secretary of State
shows how comprehendingly you have
looked on during the last few months.
Not only have Mr.. Bryan's character. his
justice, his sincerity, his transparent in
tegrity, his Christian principle, made a
deep impression upon all with whom he
has dealt, but his tact in dealing with men
of many sorts, his capacity for business,
his mastery of the principles of each mat
ter he has been called upon to deal with
have cleared away many difficulty and
have given to the policy of the State De-
partment definiteness and dignity that
are very admirable.
need not say what pleasure and profit
|, myself, have taken from close associa-
ton with Mr.. Bryan or how thoroughly he
has seemed to all of us who are associated |
with him here to deserve not only our
confidence but our affectionate admiration.
Sincerely yours,
WOODROW WILSON.
Mr.. William l.. Marbury,
Baltimore, Md.
