wept, unhonored and unsung. 1t
spent several hundred thousand dol
lars of the public money, and it pro-
duced three conflicting reports. The
report signed by the chairman Of the
commission, Frank P. Walsh, was a
minority report. Walsh made the
commissions work farce and a fail
ure from start to finish. He insulted
and browbeat the witnesses before
him, he made stump speeches from
the chair, he rushed into the news
papers with all sort Of irrelevant ma
terial. and he generally wrote himself
down a bigger ass than Dogberry ever
did. And yet. Walsh was the Presi-
dents own particular choice for this
delicate piece Of work. A poorer Sc
lection could not have been made. but
it was of piece with many other
Presidential selections. AS a judge of
men to carry on the civil work Of the
government, the President has been a
conspicuous and lamentable failure.
We shudder to think what would hap
pen if he should have been charged
with the selection of men to carry on
military operations.

Evening brings full compensation,

None so loyal quite as you;
When the way is dark and dreary.
With your optimism CHEEKY,
Little pal, there's none SO true.

If you sally forth to meet me
And with fond caresses greet me,

All my worries quickly vanish,
