Vocal Establishment.

Oh, music is a wondrous art,
And plays most important part,
Relieving what might be much worse
For when you sing you can't converse.
A conversations style and tone
Depends upon the words alone,
But when a song is sung you may
Forget the words and like the lay.
Oh, many a man with wondrous voice
Would bid Ms oftener to rejoice
IL he would not to talking cling,
But go ahead and learn to sing.

No Trailing

Mr.. Bryan exhibits both good taste
and good politics in rejecting the
suggestion that he trail the Presi-
dent on the preparedness issue. He
is not through with the issue. He
will continue to discuss it with both
tongue and pen. but on lines with
which the public is already familiar,
and presumably will stick to the is
sue.
The President is not an expert on
the subject. and we may expect him
to follow lines with which the public
is already familiar. Chief interest in
his observations will lie in the fact
that they represent an opinion di-
rectly contrary to the one he enter
tanned only a short time ago. A
trailer" would be expected to point
out and dwell upon the change, and
ask the why's and wherefores.
Now, as the public is given to un-
derstand, Mr.. Bryan is trying to de-
feat preparedness, not the President
for a second term. His object is to
show the undesirableness OF what he
calls militarism, not the instability of
the President as a political leader.
Mr.. Wilson has changed his opin-
ion on other subjects, and been in
dorsed by Mr.. Bryan for the change.
At one time he was opposed to Mr..
Bryan, and criticised him sharply.
Then he changed, and became a
eulogist. Mr.. Bryan liked that
change. Before election as President
Mr.. Wilson Endorsed free passage
through the Panama canal of Ameri-
can coastwise ships. After election
he secured the repeal of the law pro-
viding for free passage. As men,
Der OF the cabinet Mr.. Bryan assisted
in that change.
No matter what may be the result
of this duel between the President
and himself, Mr.. Bryan will be left
in a very embarrassing position. If
he wins, he will have injured the
President in the contest for second
term. If the President wins, even
with the aid of republicans votes, he
will have injured Mr.. Bryan as a
democratic force, and the injury will
show in the coming campaign.
For some months Mr.. Bryan has
been addressing large crowds, and
giving his views with perfect frank
ness. He is against all forms of pre-
paredness. Now comes the Presi-
dents turn, and he, too, will be greeted
by outpourings of the people. After
the President has spoken there may
be controversy as to the size of the
attendance at his meetings as COM
pared with that at the Bryan meet
ings, and also as to the feeling ex-
hibited. But both the President and
Mr.. Bryan are strong drawing cards !;
and the size of crowd and the ex-
element shown are not infallble
guides to public sentiment in given
locality

A Sicilian Night.

O FOR that deep sioiiian night
when all the stars were burning bright
And ocean. In siumber bound.
Gave but q sleepless. gentle sound.
There, by that heavy, glirnnering tide
we were together. sido by size.
And / held you to me 70 fast;
There was no future and no past;
We were q part Of consciousness,
That, suffering. makes to life no less,
Only q quivering moment then
And an immortal. boundless ken;
Until I knew you for my own
Beside the faint. eternal moon.
And you were ], and was you.
In BRIEF transparency OF view.
A world all silent and all sheen,
All possible that might have been.
We spoke no more than DO the dead.
hut we were mute with Life instead,
u for that deep Sicilian night,
When for an instant all was Light.
