Profitless Pity.

We sigh for the man who might
have been great
If he only had tried in a sensible
way;
We witness his fall and we pity his
fate,
We blame the foul chances that
sent him astray;
We think of the wonders he never
has done,
We dismally speak of the talent
he had.
And grievously, solemnly thinking
him one
Whom fortune has cheated, we
murmur: Too badp
We never waste signs on the poor
little man
Who strives without talent, OBJ
scure and unschooled,
Who is daily doing the best he can,
By worthiness urged and by de-
Cency ruled;
We never have pity for him as we
pass
Where, lacking fair gifts, he is
trying to rise;
His case never moves us murmur
"Alas!"
No matter how bravely he man
fully tries.
All, we'll, perhaps heaven, when
heaven is gained,
Will furnish the gifts the unnotic-
ed ones lack.
And there the ambitious who have
not complained
May win all their hopes and their
eagerneSS OaCk;
But never in heaven, if heaven is
fair,
May the talented ones who have
fallen in shame
PaTtake of the glory the worthy
may share
Or find any joy in the pity they
claim.

Punish the Greedy Ones.

The ineXcusable advance in re-
tail prices of all kinds of foodstuffs
is attracting the attention of ma
tlOnal, state and city officers, and
prompt Investigation is promised.
The Chicago packers were the first
offenders. Immediately on the an
nouncement of war they depressed
the price of hogs about so cents per
hundred. one of the most high
handed outrages of which they
have yet been guilty. While they
were not able to hold down prices
longer than a few days, in that
short time they took a good many
thousands of dollars out of the
pockets of the producers. The prices
of meats to the consumer were as
promptly advanced, and also pric> S
of all sorts of foodstuffs.

where reaches are numerous. Near

clines of wood or card board from
the floor to the edge of the plate or

one or two thin pieces of wood on
the water so that they will touch

We are confident the democrats
of this congressional committee did
a good days work yesterday in the
election of M. J. Lilly of this city
and John W. Bingham, of Milan, as
members of the state committee.
Both are lawyers of ability and the
right age to be forceful and aegres.
sive They are well known through
out the district and will at once
command the confidence and good
will of every democrat in the dis
trict. We believe they will unite
democracy of the second district
one of the greatest in the state and
secure a full vote at the polls in
November. The fact is from every
viewpoint it would have been diff
cultsto have found two men in the
district who would better fit the

bring this district up with the larg-
est majority in its history.-Mober-

A vacancy exists in the Twelfth Massachusetts
Congressional district, and will be filled at a special
election to be held April Z. Primaries will be held
a fortnight earlier. A score of candidates, Demo-
Gratis, Republicans, Bull Moosers, are announced for
the nominations.
The House is an interesting place these days,
and the Bostonians know it. Naturally, the poll
ticians want to get into the game. Excitement is
guaranteed. Reputation is TO be made. When the
new member takes his seat the session will be only
about half over, assuming that June will bring the
close. He will have opportunity to vote on some im.
portant questions, and, if an orator, 4 chance to
spread himself.
But the next House is the real lure. Shall we
not see a countrywide scramble for seats in that?
1t will assemble six months before candidates for
President are named. Its record will constitute
much of the appeal to the country. 1t may have to
deal with some of the very questions the present
Congress shall have dealt with. "
In this way: If the Underwood tariff fails to pro-
duce the revenue necessary to the support of the
government on liberal lines it will have to" be over
hauled, even If the Democrats continue in House
control. If the new currency law develops defects
in its operations they will have to be corrected. De-
fleets In that matter could not with safety be left
uncorrected. And if the new trust legislation now
shaping proves an injury rather than a help to bust.

IL the Republicans control the next House, the
situation will be even more inviting for men Of aoil.
iy and students of politics. For in that event the
Democratic record now made or making will be the
subject of both special and general examination.
Matters MAY not take the shape of new legislation,
for. q Democrat will sit in the White House armed
with the veto power, even if a Republican Senate
shall at that time be supporting a Republican House.
But the debates will be stirring, and the measures
upon which they are based indicative of what will
be written into law if a Republican succeeds Wood
row Wilson as President.
All this will fire the ambitions of men, young and
old, who aspire to political preferment. They will be
eager for a chance to play a part in so important a
drama. And when we consider that the Republican
leader for 1916 has yet to be chosen, and that he
may be developed by the next Congress, small Won
