THE WOODS IN WINTER.

THE WOODS IN WINTER.
There fs wonder In the winter
woods,
subtle, all elusive mystery
That hannts each placid glen where
silence broods
And woos each whited vale with
witchery.
A certain cosmic harmony prevails.
A symphony that holds the inner
ear,
Before whose spell all human music
pales
AS fades the glory Of the dying
There Is no lyric beauty known to
yerse
So near the grandeur Of the perfect
song
As this faint concord Of the universe
In mystic rhythm. the grey stoled
trunks among;
And 10, With magic rare, through
wood and fen,
We glimpse Sirvana near the
haunts OF men,

showmen are this season opening their
wonderful main tent program. "Cinder-

fairy tales and to see it produced with
more than 1000 persons, hundreds of

William Il. Wilcox, Chairman of
the Republican National Committee,
has received from Senator Penrose
brief but positive summing up of the
extravagances of the Wilson Admins
tratiOn during the session of Congress
lust about to close. The Senator
says:
When me country realizes what
this Congress has done in the way of
appropriations 1t will be dumfOunded.
Already, it has been shown that over
a billion, seven or eight hundred mil
lion dollars have been appropriated
more money than WAS ever apprOpri-
ated in any one year in the history
of the American government. The to-
tai will reach nearly two billion dol
lars before the end OF this carnival
of debnuchery in public expenditures
is reached, because no account has
been taken of the twenty-five millions
for the Danish islands, the thirty mil
lions which the government will prob
the five per cent rebate allowed on
impOrtatiOns brought across the seas
in American bottoms, and other mat
tiers which are likely to come up.
at is only too evident that this bill
which is expected to bring in some
two hundred million dollars will alb
sOlutely fail to meet even the require
mpntS for the ill-advised and certainly
not urgent projects authorized by the
present Congress.
1T is now claimed that these pro
jpctS are to be financed by the iSSu-
unre of Panama Canal bonds. The
American people will regard such 4
proceeding rs a very queer one be
cause the issuing of bonds by the
Cleveland Administration largely help
Democratic party in 1896. A bond
issue has ever since been viewed with
adherence by the Democracy; now,
we find the party leaders compelled,
by reason of their extravaganza and
inptiicienCy, to resort to it,
40 dpfray the expenses of Il nitrate
plant and of Il shipping board and
many other needless projects by the
issuing of Panama bonds will be in
the last analysis equivalent to paying
for them by bond issues. These bonds
are lying in the treasury uniSSupd as
the result Of the thrift and economy
and wise administration of the Repub
lican party.
comfy about Sl3OOOO,ooo of bonds
were put out in the construction of tn"
Panama Canal The balance of the
cost of that stupendOuS undertaking
was paid out of current revenues;
and now, to advance the novel doc
trinc that these bonds which repre-
sent the thrift of preceding years
shall be issued for these questionable
projects is. to my mind, preposter0uS.
In fact it was expressly provided in
the Spo0ncr Act that Panama Canal
bonds should not he issued for any
other purpose than that of the con
StructiOn of the Canal, and the in
gpnious theory that they can be is !
sued now to repay the treasury and !
that then the money can be squan-
dered by the party in power to finance |
doubtful projects and to make good
deficit will not alter the fact that .
such a deficit exists.

interesting Letter
From the Beautiful Golden Gate
State.

We take pleasure in publishing
the following letter from our good
| friend, Mr.. G. P. Layne, former
ly of Whitwell, but now Of Cali
fornia.
HUNTINGTON PARK, CAL,
232 N. Seville St.,
October 7, 1916.
Mr.. B. M. BLALOCK,
Dunlap, Tenn.
DEAR FRIEND:
Yours of Sept. Both has been
received and will say | was some
what surprised to get letter
from my friend-the editor of
| DUNLAP TRIBUNE.
Twill describe Southern Califor-
mia. 1t has a mild climate all the
year: the sun shines hot but there
is a breeze from the ocean that
makes it very pleasant. The sun
set is real beautiful; it has all the
rainbow colors and lasts about As
minutes. We do not have tWi-
light; when the sun goes down it
is dark in a few minutes. We
have two months of rainy wealth
er-Jan. and Feb but no mud
to contend with. In an hour af-
ter the hardest rain that falls you
can walk on the street and will
not get the bottom of your shoes
soied. The soil is sandy loan
which is very fertile but has to be
irrigated.
1t sure was grand sight to me
to see the difference in the climate
here to what it was in Tennessee.
When I left there in January,
1916, we travelled thru snow and
ice until we crossed the Rocky
Mountains. After we crossed the
border line between California
and Arizona the first town of any
note was Needles. 1t was as
warm as the summers in Tennes-
see. Everything so green and the
flowers in full bloom. Southern
California sure is the land of flow
ers; they bloom ali the year and
are of mammoth size.
1t is a sight to see the different
ranches, of oranges, lemons, ba-
nanas, grapes, walnuts, lOquats,
figs, apricots, peaches and olives.
The vegetables are maturing all |
the year.
This state is second to none in |
schools; all books and supplies are
furnished free. This is the cOun- |
try for a man to rear family, as !
there are all vocations Of life, and
anyone can prepare themselves |
for any position they wish to fill.
Young people have the opportu-
nifty to make useful men and |
women they don't have in some |
parts of Tennessee. California |
has a fine road systematic |
records show.sone automobile to |
every II persons.
Wages for labor are much bet
ter here than in some parts OF |
Tennessee. The women get bet |
ter pay for their work than the
average man in some states. N.Y. |
self and family are all employed |
but the baby and she is in school.
We all take a business course IN
Polytechnic night school.
The church and Sunday school |
work is fine in the park-collect-
ions are from ten to fifteen dol |
lars each Sunday.
My friend C. M. Johnson, of |
Lamar county, Ala, landed at my |
house Aug. %. Was surprised |
to see him in the west. At this
early date we are making the |
singing 90 at church and Sunday !
s hool, c. M. johnson is now
at $91.50 per month.
| will close, thanking you for
past favors, and with three long
cheers for President Woodrow !
