ToDAY's BIT OF VERSE
EVENING.

! evenings.
The redgold glory of departing day
Lies like sea of splendor in the West;
And Nature to her children all doth say
A soft goodnight, and bushes them to rest
The Earth her form in pearlgray mist enshrouds.
While silence hoyers il the giimmering light;
Across the sky sail little neecy Clouds
Kissed by the rosy lips Of coming night.
l stand quite STILL and by the deepening hush,
/ know the supreme moment draweth near
When. from the whispering shade OF yonder bush
The nightingale pours forth his music clear.
He sings: and floods of broken melody,
Like showers Of angels tears falling from heaven.
Pour from his swelling throat. In ecstacy
The stars look down at all the joys thus given.
He sings of all the good that was,
OF all the joys that have been and will be;
Tears spring unbidden to my eyes because
long to have you listening here with me.

COLOMBIAN BLACKMAIL.

Originally there was something to be said on
both sides of the proposed Colombian treaty,
whereby the United States would pay Colombia
TWENTY-FIVE million dollars for that country s
good will toward our Panama canal. Colombia
had accused the United States OF stealing the
canal grant, which we did, in fact, obtain from
the Republic of Panama startlngly soon AFTER
that republic had been formed. But the United
States acted legally and fairly, and there re-
manned no reason for paying money to Colon
bia except as sop to Colombian pride.
Now, however, the old issues, thin as they
were, are blanketed by what appears to be q
twenty five million-d dollar scheme OF blackmall
Colombia, already several times accused OF I'M
neutrality in the present war, hints that It VIII
grant favors to Germany unless the United
States comes across with a cool twenty-five
million dollars The majority Of the demo
cratic membership Of the senate approves OF
the treaty, submits to the blackmail. Senator
Lodge, ranking republican member of the com
lmittee on foreign relations, characterlzes the
treaty as an attempt to levy tribute upon the
United States To ratify the treaty, he de-
clared, will be merely buying Columbia
ioand. - he added. 'swe should have no more Sc
curity against Colombia's helping our enemies
after giving her twenty five million dollars
than after refusing to do So
Suppose we did submit to Colombian black
mail-suppose we swallowed our pride and
considered it worth while to purchase Colon
bias friendship during this war for twenty
five million dollars Is there any assurance
that a nation which can be bought will stay
bought?
/ In November, 1914, Great Britain and
France discovered that Germany controlled a
high power wireless station in Colombia At
tempts were made to force the Colombian gov
eminent to take charge Of the station Wheth-
er German control has been actually ended is
doubtful. There has been more than one rumor
that Germany has prepared submarine bases
on the Colombian coast-dangerously near to
the Panama canal At least we know, from OBJ
servation of the Colombian attitude toward the
| United States, that Colombia Is ripe for Ger
man intrigue.
The Gate City agrees with Senator Lodge
that twenty five million dollars had better be
spent for protection at Colon than for Colon

Cedar Rapids Republican: u
should be borne in mind that there
is no effort being made in this STATE

our contemporary says. there is an

form to the universally accented ana
generally satisfactory customs OF tne
peopIe." We are simply trying 70
repeal i few relics of past ages that
are not now, have not been for gen
Grafton and ought never IN the Iuture
to be enforced. That is entirely dil-
ferent from iberalizing Sunday Dy
law. Some men, even in pulpits. talk
loosely as IL there were movement
on foot to abolish Sunday. There is
no such a thing thought OF and men
ought to know that and admit II.

GOOD SAMARITAN HOSPITAL TO
INCREASE NURSE CLASS.

Beginning in January the Good
Samaritan Hospital, at Lexington,
will increase its number of girls in
training for nurses by ten. This is
being done IN order that young wo-
men who desire may start training,
the government having given notice
that the supply of nurses is entirely
inadequate to meet the demands of
war service.
Mrs Shelby HARRISON, chairman
of the Fayette county branch of the
Woman's Committee, Council of Ma
tional Defense, has received a num-
Der of requests for information on
war work from young women, some
of whom have indicated that they
desire to take up nursing.
A plan is on foot to have speakers
from the committee visit the schools
and tell the young women of the OPP
portunities for service in the profess
sion as nurses. The plan is not. to
take the girls from school, but to
point out to them way whereby
they can serve in the event they de-
sire to leave school.
