TODAY,s BIT OF VERSE
WHEN MY SHIP COMES II

WHEN MY SHIP COMES IN.
Somewhere out the blue sea sailing
Where the winds dance and spin,
Beyond the reach of my eager hail1ng,
Over the breakers DIM
Out where the dark storm clouds are hitlhg
Out where the binding fog is drifting,
Out where the treacherous sand is shifting
My ship comes in
oh have watched till my eyes aching,
Day after weary day;
O. | have longed till my heart was breaking
While the long nights ebbed away;
Could | but know where the waves had tossed ner
Could but know what storms have crossed her,
Could but know where the winds had lost her,
Out in the twilight gray
But though the storms her course have altered
Surely the port she'll win,
Never my faith in my ship has faltereo,
l know she is coming in.
For through the restless ways OF her roaming
Through the mad rush Of the wild waves foaming.
Through the white crest of the pillows conDlng,
My ship is coming in
Breasting the tide where the guls are flying,
Swiftly she's coming in;
Shadows land deeps and rocks defy1ng,
Bravey she's coming in.
Precious the love she will bring to bless me,
Snowy the arms she will bring to caress me,
In the proud purple of kings she will dress me
My ship that is coming in
White in the sunshine her sails will be cleaning,
See, where my ship comes in;
At masthead and peak her colors streaming,
Proudly she's sailing in;
Love, hope and joy on her decks are cheering.
Music will welcome her glad appearing.
When my ship comes in.

IOWA PRESS COMMENT.

| Davenport Times: The rural rail-
way station agent, who has to be
som ething Of a banker, something OF
a lawyer. fairly good business
manager, an express agent, baggage
master, ticket agent, telegrapher and
information bureau, and never lose
his temper, probably will regret that
he is not a conductor or an engineer.
Marshalltown Times-Republican
Efforts to popularize Hughes by call
ing him Charley" do not seem TO
succeed. The people like to think OF
him as Hughes. The big Bill" and
Teddy" stuff has palled on them.
Boone News-Republican: A certain
young lady of Iowa married carelessly
and now wishes to divorce her young
husband. She has never lived with
him. Some OF the newspapers of the
state are using this episode as basis
of humorous editorials. That is bad,
business. 1t is neither humane nor
praiseworthy to make fun of a faith
er's concern over the mfsstep OF
daughter, nor is 1t gallant to hold up
to ridicule the young lady's mistake.
Let them forget and be as happy as
they can.
Burlington Gazette: 1.-THE belts the
thing mems fashion announcements
have been saying for years; but we
never yet saw tailor who had nerve
enough to leave the buttons OF
trousers.
Cedar Rapids Gazette: Provided a
supply of stumps of sufficient diam
Ieter can be found to serve as pedes-
tails, William Howard Taft will make
campaign speeches in October. A small
stump will not do. 1t would give the
impression, in connection with the
speaker, of a jug balanced ON its cork.
Burlington Hawk-Eye: To be sure,
there are some people who work
more than eight hours and more than
ten or twelve hours and keep it up
and grow fat on it. But the other
fellows even things up, who never
work eight hours, nor even two
hours, who have never worked and
never will And we have them every
where, even out on the Iowa farms.

The Lutheran league convention Is

week. and Nauvoo is represented by
the following persons: Misses Reset

Mayor Emil Baxter. in Nauvoo,
does not seem to see the difference
between the saying that there Is
time for all things and the assertion
that this is the time for doing things

this talk let us not lose sight OF this
real problem. That is not to find
program which will command the
support OF Nauvoo's city council; 1t
is much larger. 1t is to find pro-
gram which will command the sup
port Of the people OF Nauvoo. The
people, not the officials. vote bonds.
In the light of this simple fact, it APP
pears to this column that a good
deal Of effort is going to waste. This
is a matter for public opinion. The
people must be treasured, persuaded,
satisfied. No plan that will not do
this is worth the time 1t takes to

manding the entire vote of the Maui
VOC city council is kept In mind, we
shall save mich eloquence and no
little time.
Nauyoo's Civic league will meet at
the Lake View home of Mrs. Selwyn
Wyles tonight, at 7:45 o'clock.
The Lutheran Ladies' Aid society
Of Nauvoo will serve dinner and sup

Nauvoo's old soldiers reunion, and
chicken dinner on the first day and
a nearly $12 the hundred pound roast

get well fed and help a worthy cause,

this In mind.
1t is interesting to note that only
about a half dozen teachers in any
county in Illinois do not regard them
selves as worth more than $50 per
month. In some places three have
accepted $3.50. one 1888, eight S35,
three $3.50, two S39, thirty-six $40,
one beat that one dollar, twenty.
seven have sold their services at s45,
twenty-five at $50 and some at $50
and over. Why not form a school
teachers union?

NEW YoRK,s NEW SCANDAL.

New York City is now in the throes of a So
called white slavery investigation which goes
above and beyond the big-town dive and the
ordinary traffic Of the oldest profession. We
hear of millionaire artist 81 orgy which is
said to have rivaled the debaucheries Of the
Thaw scandal The hints given out by the dis
trict attorneys office suggest that clique OF
spendthrift libertines may be exposed through
the prosecution. of individuals who have acted
as agents for little suppers to entertain the
tired businessman.
Such exposures are not pleasant; the re-
pulsive spectacle revealed by the Thaw trial is
still public memory The profigates' occa-
sional sprees give to cities an evil reputation
which they have not earned and which does not
improve their general morals.
There always has been and always will be
evil where loose morals and loose purse strings
are found together. Lest New York and other
big cities suffer the blasting Of outburst
from the righteously and thoughtlessly indig-
nant, let it be remembered now, before the full
force of the New York scandal breaks, that
vice in cities is in no greater proportion than
vice in villages. And let it be emphasized
that all the various degrees of white slavery are

THE CHANGE IN CONGRESS.

There is a difference of opinion to what effect will fol low the loss of the lower house of congress by the Democrats There who believe that Republican control of the house will compel the and president to abandon past par tsan and attempt to give the country badly needed economic legislation.
 Some, the other hand contend that it would be better allow the Democrats to have complete control of congress for the next years This would give the country chance know whom credit blame for laws enacted Divided sponsibiIity is never satisfactory.
 But believe a Republican house can be depended upon to uphold the president in all meritorous legislation and not inject partisan politics into national problems. They have done the past And beside their power will put end to legislation for purely partisan ends and will insure that legislation hereafter will be shaped in the open.
