fall to his fortune to meet with q
musical composition so filled with
patriotic spirit, both music and
words, and combining a high degree
OF musical merit. l am sure IL will
not only do duty as a recruiting song
but Will find a place among airs OF
our nation"
The song was composed just after
President Wilson, in his address to
Congress, had set forth the necessity
Of war. Mr.. Pierson, in the gallery
OF the House OF Representatives on
that occasion, was so stirred with the
spirit OF the time that he went home
and composed the air. Within a few
days the words had been set and all
that was left to do was to have the
stirring tune accepted by the proper
parties.
Calling on Senator Paige of Yer
mont, with the writer OF the words
to his song, Mr.. Pierson hummed the
tune for the statesman, with the re
suit that he was at once taken to
the ofiice of Superintendent Elliot
Woods, Of the Capitol, where Senator
Tillman OF South Carolina, chairman
OF the Naval Committee, heard the
tune played on a piano.
Song Appeals To Statesmen.
Both statesmen were caught with
the snappy time of the song, and ITS
success was assured.
Senator Tillman leaped to a teIe
phone and called Frank Smith, private
secretary to the Secretary OF the
Navy.
you must hear that song" he said
over the wire. at Is great. Have
your Marine Band try II over"
The Senator then gave the follow
ing note to Mr.. Pierson, addressed
to Mr.. Smith:
THE bearer OF this, Mr.. William T
Pierson, is the man about whom
spoke to you over the phone.
He has written a song and thinks II
will be effective in recruiting. I hope
you can arrange to have his song lis
tened to by some one competent to
Judge.
Very sincerely,
B. r. TILLMAN.
Mr.. Pierson hummed the song for Mr..
Smith. and a hurry call was sent out
for Lieutenant Santelmann. with the
result that within a few days the Ma
rine Band was rehearsing the hit

question.

replied.
do you know Of any reason why
the employees wanted to eliminate the
commission and place arbitration In

ciation? Attorney Hoover inquired.
Il do not" replied Mr.. Newman,
"but do know the method provided
in this memorandum Of agreement for

method found in labor contracts"
did you read the provision for the
closed shop, saying that none but
union men should be employed by the
company" the lawyer asked.

this was the most drastic closed shop
provision you had ever seen in a labor
contractT" Attorney Hoover inquired.
Il did" the witness answered.
did you ever tell the representa-

thought OF the proposal to eliminate
the Public Utilities Commission and
the closed shop provision?" asked the
attorney.
NO" replied Mr.. Newman. at did

There has long been feeling in
Congress, among Democrats and Re-
publicans alike, that the President
should be vested with power through
an amendment to the Constitution
to veto individual items of appropri-
alton, instead Of being compelled TO
Iisapprove an entire bill in order to
get rid of one Objectionable paragraph
III it. Congressman Walter NJ. Ma
gee of New York is, one of those who
hold to that view In Mr.. Magee's
opinion it is the most effectual means
OF removing for all time the cry of
pork when an omnibus appropria-
lion bill has been passed by Con
gress, and cites the law in his own
State where the governor has the
power to reject one or more items in

The Wednesday issue of the Keno

Assemblyman Golden OF the Colder
Hotel, which would create a collec-
ton agency for the benefit of hotels
by making the failure to pay hote
bill a crime. There exist laws sui
ficient to punish. those who CRIMINAL,
defraud hotels, boarding houses, ant
eating rouses. This law is seldom,
ever, used for the punishment O.
crime, but is worked invariably only
as a means of collecting deb
where credit has been extended by the
proprietor without any fraud on the
part of the debtor The merchan
who does business is defraudet
many times mo erthan the hote
keeper. He is more frequently de
frauded by deceit and cashes man,
times more frequently fraudulen
checks. When a merchant swears t'
a complaint charging a person wit
crime, he almost invariably does 81
to punish the offender. When hote
man puts in motion the machiner,
of the criminal law, he usually is pres
ent when the warrant is delivered t.
the officer, with instructions to no
arrest if the debtor pays the bill an
pays the costs. Morally the com
plainant in such cases is guilty of ;
graver crime, extortion, commonl
known as blackmail, than the offende
he would destrain.
