DOWN m OLD ST. MARv's

Down in old st. Mary's
Came the "Bentztown Bard" one day,
And our folks went out to hear him
From miles and miles away:
And when he looked down on US
With his fetchin' sort of smile,
We knew he kinder liked US
IF we didn't have no style.
He saw in old st. Mary's
The grand things God has made
And his face jes speaker of 'em
Was as sweet as ef he PRAYED:
Like he didn't want to leave 'em-
That kinder drawed you know
We've had so much OF harping
Bout st. Mary's being 'slow."
Down in old st. Mary's
Folks were jest his kind, he said,
And I'm Bible-sure he meant il,
For his verses i have read.
And he preached us all sermon
Tho il wer'nt his object to-
That eff IL struck them needing it,
A sight of good could do.
He likes little children
There was scarce q Ma or Pa
Could keep themselves from crying,
Bout The child that had no Ma
And they didn'. hold his intrust,
That has TO have their hair
All cropped behind like turkey tails
But the kids we have right here.
Down in old st. Mary's
We talked it out that night,
And said-ef men would think his way
The world would move all right
And ct more would preach the gospel
OF a livin' plain and true
we could throw of half our burdens
And twice the good could do.

Owing to the dull uncertainty of the

In full, leaving US the impress of a

We regret that more did not hear

there was much of interest and of pro-
fit from the practical knowledge and

A recitation was handled by Mrs.

lurched into another, upon whose end

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE

Those who believe in a strong ly centralized government, who feel that the paramount issue before this government is not to change its form but to save it from control by foreign powers; those who feel that strongly cen traliZed government preparing for national defense must con- sider economic and industrial problems as well as real military problems. will read with approv- al, if not with fervid enthusiasm President Wilson's message. He has tried to work out a plan of national defense that should take in every factory, every in- dustry. every element in our commerce, and so relate them to the government that they may operate with great efficiency in times of peace and with a pur- pose single to the common good in event of war. Industry should be regulatd constuctively, not destructively. The firm hand of a centralized govern ment should be felt thru our commerce. and efficiency in peace should go hand-in-h hand with national defense in time of war.
 These things MT. Wilson has given to the country for it's consideration. He has taken stand that indicates a courage remarkable in a public man. For the message today is a com plete reversal of much that President Wilson has said in the past and practically all that his party has stood for. We have here a Democratic President re- linquishing states rights, con- ing to the Hamilton position of a government with broad powers. and taking up constructive program that means a change of our national position in the world and a forward step to- ward what four years ago was known as the New Nationalism.
