TO THE PIONEER
Inland f. MOe)


Tell me the story of long ago when
this world of ours was young,
Sing me the songs of the days gone by,
the songs that our mothers sung.
Turn slowly each page of that sacred
book where only memory writes,
Till the spell of the past enthralls US
like the glow of northern lights.
Come with me to the edge Of things
and look off into the night,
Where the roaring flames of world
afire fill heaven and earth with
light,
And the breath of that burning prairie
sears and blasts in ITS mighty
fight.
Or come when the day is brightest and
roam DER the boundless plain
Where only the Indian foot has trod or
his hand drawn bride rein;
Then follow the well-worn buffalo path
to the waIIow beside the lake,
And on to the placid water where they
ventured their thirst to Stake.
Monarchs were they of the wilderness,
but progress has swept them away
And all we found were whitening
bones or homeless herd astray.
Myriads of fearless prairie fowl par
took of our golden grain,
Giving scant heed to the stranger who
trespassed upon their domain,
Until icy blasts from out the North,
laden with powdered snow,
Drove them afar from their goodly
feast like wild, relentless foe.
Then just for a day let us live again
in that wonderful long ago,
Just for a day let us meet and greet
the friends we used to know,
And when the night shades lower DER
this land we all love best,
Dreaming We'll end our perfect day in
our little sod home of the West.

Will ENDORSE WILSON
PEACE POLICY TO-DAY
Messrs. Horncr and Mcetze To Intro
duce strong Resolution Backing
Stand Taken BY President.
ASSEMBLY WILL PASS 1T
Action Brought Out BY Efforts OF
Republican Legislatures In Other
States to Discredit the Chief Execu-
tive Before the People.

Does his native State of Virginia
stand squarely behind Woodrow Will
son, President of the United States
Of America?
That is the question Delegate Guy
T. Horner. OF Southampton. will ask
today, wi,nI. he will introduce a reso-
luton commencing the policies of the
first Democratic President in twenty
years and commencing particularly
his Mexican policy and his mastery
handling of the grave and delicate
European situation.
Mr.. Horner will be strongly sup
ported by Mr.. Meetze, of Prince Will
liam.
Republicans Refuse.
Delegates Horner and Meetze are
impelled to this course by the recent
refusal of two Republican States to
take similar action although the re-
fusai was by close votes.
They feel. and they believe the Wiz
ginia General Assembly feels. that a
vote OF confidence by his native State
will sustain the President in his de-
termined effort to maintain neutrality
in this time of stress and to keep this
ration free of the horrors OF war If
this time of worldwide conflict
Mr.. Horner said last night that while
the true purport of the refusal of Re
publican Statea to endorse the Presi-
dent and his policies would be under
stood by those familiar with politics
In Wisconsin and Iowa. and while all
know that Virginia stands with Wood
row Wilson. an expression to that
effect would be most acceptable to
the chief magistrate of the nation.
Adoption Certain.
Accordingly. the resolution will be
introduced today. and its adoption
seems to he foregone conclusion.
Mr.. Horner has not prepared the reso-
luton. but he and Mr.. Meetze will
have II ready this morning.

years has devoted his ca elusive time
and a fortune for the widest possible
extension of the postoff1ce. It's most

Yesterday Mr.. Cowles visited Gov

sioner of Agriculture Koiner and
Postmaster Thornton with reference
to the establishment of q government
merchant marine system for Ocsap
postal transports. Today he will visit
the officers of the local Chamber OF
Commerce with an effort to get their
support and for the purpt sc of secur-
ing the privilege of addressing mem
lers of the organization.
Mr.. Cowies is known as the father
of the present parcels post system fer
II was he who succeeded In securing
the passage of the bin through Con-
fress in 1912. the measure berg in.
troduced by Thomas Reilly, Of Con-
reticut. his native State. 1t was in
1888 that M Cowles tnauguarted his
fight for .he extension OF the post
Office.
Railroads Gave No Relief.
He was LED into 1t by the icstruc-
ton OF two large paper mills In the
village Of Unionvflle. Hartford county.
Conn. as a result of the discriminating
and exorbitant freight rates CT the
railroad companies. He was backing
both enterprises and practically the
entire loss tell on his shoulders. Fol-
wing this he went 10 NE railway
companies and asked for relief. but,
r. said. the officials ~ the corpora
ticns minated that they held the
erttre planet In the palm nf their
hands and they would fix te1e rates as
they saw fit
Mr.. Cowles said that 1t was then
question as to whether the people
were to become freemen or continue
TO be slaves. From that day he made
up hts mind to devote the remainder
OF his life studying the problem and
to devise some means by which TO
free the people from the heavy freight
rates imposed on them by the railway
com panies. From that time until al
most three years ago he travelled
throughout the United States In be-
half OF his cause and in 1919 he In
duced Congressman Reilly to offer the
parcel post bill. which was passed
Notwithstanding the passage OF the
bill, however. he Is not yet satisfied
The maximum weight for parcels be.
Ing sent In this manner Is 100 pounds
save newspapers and other pubiica-
lions. Mr.. Cowles believes that the
only way to have a real parcel post
system is for 1t to be limited only by
the capacity of the freight car and
the size OF Its door. He says HIS work
will not be completed until this Ia ao-
complished.
