Journal would not have deemed it nee essary to strike. However, other poetasters took up the burthen. The Cincinnati Enquirer added Full many man has lost his stack, by being shy one dog gone jackP Then chimed in the Los Angeles Express: Full many a man died in disgrace, by sporting with an extra ace"
 When the Rome Tribune-Herald contributed it's observation on the same subject-and in keeping with the original vein-the editor of the Selma Journal, no longer able to re- strain himself, puckered up his jour- nalistic browlets and wrote an editor- ial. It was entitled: Miserable Cor ruption," and it handled the funni- graphers without gloves. In the course of his remarks he uttered the follow ing:
 Isn't this horrible corruption of a pretty verse? Maybe it would put to shame some of the rhymesters and would-be- poets to quote the verse they thus corrupt and per vert by their cheap rhymes:
 Full many a gem of purest ray
 serene
 The dark unfathomed caves of
 ocean bear:
 Full many flower is born to blush
 unseen
 And waste it's sweetness on the
 desert air
 Impressed with the gravity of their offense, and with knowledge that such controversies must disturb the rest of Thomas Gray, "rag time' poets will probably hereafter 'be good" And in the meantime other scholars may see fit to unite with the Selma journalist in demanding more rigid enforcement of laws re- garding plagiarism.

Democratic Administrations Popular

II have never voted the democratic ticket, but am free to say that the Will son administration grows stronger as the months pass by" said s. V. Campbell of Chicago.
 Those of us who were opposed to the democratic party predicted that MT. Will son was too much of a school teacher and doctrinaire to make successful chief magistrate and that Congress would make a mess of it. But President Wilson has proved to be one of the wisest and most practical executives this country has ever had. and Congress. under his direction, is giving the people laws which for the most part will meet with approval
 Yes, l am agreeably surprised in Mir. Wilson and will probably vote for him for reelection in 1916. The democrats will win in the congressional elections in November. Their majority will not be as large in the Sixty-fourth House as it is in the Sixty-third, but it will be large enough to be taken as vindication of the democratic policies

ADRIFT WITH THE TIMES
 GONE.

Fare thee well. o Senor Huerta,
 These the last words we shall say; Though you proved yourself a ouitter,
 Yet you helped us many day, When the needsof writing jingles
 Almost drove us to despair, And we couldn't find a subject
 Though we sought one everywhere. Your great love for bubble water
 Made you such an easy mark That sometimes without half trying.
 We could hit yon in the dark. While your clutch so surely slipping And your power on. the wane Gave us food for fiddle banter
 That we'll hardly find again.

Montgomery Times: Local self-govern- ment is principle that few voters are willing to depart from. It is well ex- emplified in the failure of Alabama vot- CTS to vote statewide when many of them vote for prohibition in their in- dividual localities.

LISTEN DAUGHTER.

Listen Daughter. Once there was
nice girl just like you-who was quite
sure that when her time came to mar
ry she could not live in a house any
smaller than her fathers. "Love in
"a cottage" was not for her. She felt
sure that she must have an immense
library, with a fireplace big enough
to take in six-foot log; that there
must be drawing-room with parque-
try flooring and thick persian rugs
sliding about on it. The dining room
must be large enough to serve twenty
comfortably.
A school friend of hers came to
visit her about year and half af-
ter she was married and found her
living in a neat little frame house on
side street, ridiculously happy with
her husband and baby. There wasn't
any drawing room and the largest
room was about the size of the YES
tibule in her girhood home. '"I know
what you're thinking" laughed the
happy little bride to her guest. "You-
re wondering how could make up my
mind to live in this tiny piano box.
But I've made discovery. I've found
that it isn't the size of the house that
matters, it's the size of the heart and
the biggest hearts can live in little
houses"
The bride was your mother, daugh-
ter, and the baby was you. So when
the right boy comes along, you'll for
get all about your ideas of concrete
bungalow, with garage and sleeping
porches, and I. hope you do. It's the
hearts that make the home, not the
house.

WRITE TO YOUR
MOTHER TONIGHT

Write to your mother tonight.
Sit right down, my boy, and send
off that letter you have been promis
ing yourself you'd write for so many,
many weeks, perhaps months.
You don't know what it will mean
to the dear woman whose once laugh
ing eyes have long since been dim
med by the tears she was not asham-
ed to shed because you were so far
away. You don't know how many,
many times the dear old soul has
cried herself to sleep because she
hadn't heard from her boy, "her
baby" she will always call you. If
you knew the ache that is in that
great big kindly heart of mothers you
wouldn't wait another minute.
Of course you wouldn't neglect that
mother of yours for all the wealth in
the world. That is, you don't intend
to neglect her. But you have, you
boys who are away from home. And
it has hurt her.
She will, of course like all mothers
| do, make excuses for her boy. She
will say 81 guess my boy hasn't hac
time to write today" And she will
smile and wait for the mail carriers
next trip. Then the ache in her heart
will grow worse when she sees hin
go by without stopping.
Write to your mother tonight, my
boy. Make it a dandy long letter
Fill it full of the things she wants tt
hear. All about yourself; what yol
have been doing; when you are com
ing to see her; and above all, tell he
that you love her.
You'll be surprised to see how mucl
better you feel after the letter is wei
on it's way.
