Peruvian Poems
A Song Of the Road
tFrom Poctry)

trom PoctrU)
The way was black,
The night was mad with lightning; bcstrodc
My wild young colt upon mountain road.
And. crunchng onward, like n monsters jaws
His ringing hoof-bcats their glad rhythr,
kept,
Breaking the CLASSY surface of the pools
Where hidden waters slept.
A million buzzing insects in the air
On droning wing made sullen discord there.
But suddenly, afar, beyond the wood,
Beyond the dark pail of my broodng thought,
| saw lights cluster ike a swarm Of wnsps
Among the branches caught
"The inn!" cried, and on his living flesh
Ny bronco felt the lash and neighcd with
cagerness.
And all this~timc the cool and quRt wood
Uttered no sound, though it understood.
Until there came to me upon the night
voice clear, so clear so ringing SWEET
voice of woman, and her song
Dropped like soft music winging at my feet,
And seemed sigh that, with my spirit blend
ing
Heightened and heightened out, and had no
ending.
And through the empty silence Of the night,
And through the quiet of the hills, heard
hat music; and the sounds the night wind
bore me,
Like spirit voices from an unseen world,
Came drifting DER me-
curbcd my horse, to catch what she might
say:
"At night they come, and they are gone bv
day
And then another voice, with low refrain
And untold tenderness, took up the strain:
"Oh, love is but an inn upon lifes way
AT night they come, and they are gone BY
day"
Their voices mingled in that wistful Law.
Then I dismounted and stretched out NV
length
Beside pool, and while my mind was bent
Upon that mystery within the wood
My eyes grew heavy and my strength was
spent.
And SO slept there, hudded in my cloak.
And now, when by untrodden paths go
Through the dim forest, no repose I know
At any inn at nghtfall, but apart
sleep beneath the stars, for through NV
heart
Echoes the burden of that wistful lay:
AT night they come, and they are gone by
day;
And love is but an inn upon lfe's way"

Forty Feet Now

If Mayor Hylan can convince the Presi-
dent of the need of forty-foot channel
through Hell Gate and the dredging Of the
East River shoals to a similar depth, he
will perform a considerable service for the
commercial interests of this city and an
even greater service for the nation it
should not be difficult. The War and Navy
departments have agreed on the eventual
necessity of the fortyfoot channel. 1t is
commerce of the port. But the plan on
which the engineers are working is for a
thirty-tive foot channel.
The battle has been fought over and over
again in Congress. The idea seems to be
that since thirty-fve foot channel might
serve now and would cost less money to
dredge, it will be good enough. That point
Of view does not take into consideration
the fact that to dredge now for the ssal-
lower channel, and later for the deeper
one, would unquestionably cost more money
than to make one operation Of it. Mean
time, if the deep channel is not made there
is always the possibility that the shalower
che will not quite measure up to the ma
tons demands, either commercially or
from a military standpoint.
With the tremendous pressure of war
conditions on the port, with the East River
SO choled with shoals that dcep-draft bat
tleships cannot get into the Brooklyn navy
yard from Long Island Sound at low tide
the time has come for CONGRESS- to chance
its attitude toward the Port Of New York

Thoroughgoing Charities Reform

Assemblyman Meyers bills for reor-
ganization of the State Board of Charities
based on the report of Mr.. Charles II
Strong to Governor Whitman. deserve the
thoughtful consideration Of the Legislat-
IRE. Mr.. Strong, on q commission from
the Governor, investigated the present
methods Of administering the states chart
ties. His report constitutes an indictment,
not OF the individuals involved, but of the
system itself It calls for a radical re-
construction Of the system. There can be
no question of the breakdown Of that
which is; the only possible question IS as
to the wisdom Of that which Mr.. Strong
proposes. And on that score it may be
said that the State Board of Charities has
concurred in or indorsed the greater part
Of the remedial measures he proposes.
The bills would substitute for the pres
ent Board of Charities, consisting of
twelve unpaid members, board Of nine
members, three Of them salaried. The
president and the heads Of the two pro-
POSED bureaus, the bureau for mental de-
ficiency and the bureau for dependent
children, are to receive pay. They will
have to give all their time to the service
Of the other members, one is to be a
woman, one a penologst, one an educa-
tional expert, one a physician Of general
experience, with special reference to hos
tpitals and dispensaries; one a lawyer, and
so on. In other words, the board is tc
be so constituted as to embrace in its
membership a group of individuals Of spe-
cial attainments to cover all the problems
likely to come up in the course of its
deliberations.
On this board are to be conferred powers
which will make it an authoritative body
rot merely kind of advisory body, as is
the present board. 1t would have power
OF purchase, the review of building plans
for state institutions, the acquisition OF
sites and the execution of plans for insti
tutional extension, the making of rules
for the reception and retention of inmates
in the states institutions-a power now
possessed by the board as to private insti
tutions-and the like. 1t would be per
mitted to create a new bureau, the bu.
reau for dependent children, which woulc
develop new standards for the care OF
children in the institutions, attend to the
placing out Of certain classes Of children
in private homes, supervise founding asy
lums with a view to reducing their NOR
tality rates, establish new measures oil
outdoor relief. The state board also

=" May Come to Fiat Money Says
Secretary McAdoo"

The headlines are from the pro- Admin
lstration "New York World"
Nearly fifty-two years have passed since
the close of the Civil War, with all the
wild imitation it caused. Only the gray
haired veteran remembers the prices we
had then to pay for boots, for food or for
land. There is an abundance of farm land
in the East which has never sold as high
since.
In the South, where the debasement of
| the currency had been carried to the limit,
q pair of boots sold FOR two or three thou
sand "dollars' +
We have forgotten the lesson We can
not even permit ourselves to think of the
prodigious example Of imitation in Russia
There, where four years ago paper ruble
was worth its face in gold, the issue of
eighteen billions Of fiat stuff has resulted
in an utter wreck of the nations indus
tries. And brought the reign of the Boil
sheviki!
There is bill before Congress to give
five unnamed men not the conservative
Federal Reserve BoardD power to issue
four billions of paper money-nearly as
much as all the money the country now hes
in circulation.
Through the unrestrained expansion of
bank credits the cost Of living has about
doubled in two years and four months
Such an issue as that now asked by the
Treasury could scarcely fail to mount
prices 100 per cent higher.
To what good? The United States re-
sumed specie payments in 1878. After
nearly forty years of sound finance, are we
to face an era of deprecated 'greenbacl5s'
! again?

Exempting the South

There is no irritation over DR.. Garfield s
latest order lifting the pail of heatless
Mondays from the South. His act is held
up as further evidence that "the South" is
in the saddle.
Whatever may be the truth as to that,
the fact remains that the amount of coal
consumed in the South is small, first, be-
cause of its climate. and, second, because
Southern industries are not of great vol
ume The states Of the North Atlantic
consume six and half tons per head; the
interior states Of the South, including Ala
hama, only half ton.
The population Of all the South covered
by DR.. Garfed's order does not equal a
sixth part Of the nation. That which re-
mains covers nearly one-half and probably
more than three-quarters OF the nation
manufacturing.
1t is curious to reflect that the industrial
life Of the United States, SO far from hay
ing changed since the Civil War, remains
practically as it was. The Northern States,
from the Missouri eastward, still have the
greater part Of the population, manuF2ct-
urinr the coal, the iron, the wealth.

a Republican Crisis
(Front The Globe

On Tuesday the Republican National Com

choice will indicate whittier the party is
headed In 1912, by forcing split rather
than consent TO majority rule, the Old Guard
almost succeeded in killing the organization.
In 1916. after the election had been prac-
tjcally won by judicious delegations, the Old
Guard rushed to take charge and chased
victory away. Now it is to be shown whether
third, and this time probably successful
attempt at suicide is to be made
The Old Guard is reporte4 to be behind
John I. Adams of Iowa, for chairman. Mr.
Adams has the repute of being an extreme
reactionary. He one of the "burglars"
of the Chicago convention of 1912 has been
steady opponent OF progressiveness, has
been a bone-head opponent of labor, and in
the pre-war period is reported to have been
writer Of letters to newspapers wherein he
called Sid Edward Grey "the arch hypocritc"
and loudly called for immediate embargo
on muniton shipments. Nh Adams comes
from Dubuque with smaller population but
almost as great a German centre as Milwau-
kee AS if TO make himself more completely
unavailable, he has been a violent antagonist
of woman suffrage, strongly opposed to recoc-
milton Of the new great electorate
The success OF the Adams candidacy will
show that Republican Bourbonism has
learned nothing.

Chasing the Calory

The first step toward spreading The mys
terious cult of the calory has been taken
at an opportune time. Unhappy man, de-
prived of his daily beefsteak and forced
to subsist on corn mullins in which many
alien hands have experimental, may de
rive modicum Of comfort from the chase
Of the calory Formerly seQuestered III
domestic science schools, or the exclusive
property of those sNbarites of the tone-
ment houses, who have proverbially many
advantages Of which humdrum uptown
knows nothing, the calory has at last
emerged into relations with the ordinary
hungry, quicl-lunch eating populace. On
our menu cards now the calory rides hand
in hand with the cost of each dish.
What zest it gives to the hunt for food
en- meatless days to be told that one egg
boiled or fried is worth 240 calories; that
stuffed cabbage with sauerlsraut is worth
$50! Down at the bottom of the list one
finds such treasures as "fresh country
sausage with mashed potatoes, 500 and
Salmon salad with mayonnase, 500

cred to have the capacity of 2S0 degrees of
heat, in addition to unmeasured proves

The goal in this fascinating game of
chasing the calories is $500 day for
men employed in sedentary labor and 1000
for women. We can't see why q woman
stenogra pher shouldn't be allowed to eat
as many calories as her boss, who may not
work half so hard; but this is evidently
one of the fields wherein sex discrilnina-
ton still fingers, in spite Of the war. The
harder one works the greater handicar
he gets in the great game. The carpenter
is privileged to attain 5000 calories, and
the soldier 1000. The game, of course, is
played in three heats day, and the tota

than your status in labor permits, you
suffer the penalty of seeing in your bac

perts, at least three Of whom shall be
constantly on the job, the board to have
full power and jurisdiction to supervise
state charitable institutions and regulate
private institutions drawing public moneys
for their support. The Tribune believes
this is not only desirable but necessarily
necessity declared by every consideration
Of good business and human decency.
Similar bills last session were killed by

personal considerations and q desire not
to make the sweeping changes demanded.
The fair fame Of the state, which under

quately and has fallen down on the job,
is at stake here Nobody has proposed a
better scheme of reform than is embodied
in these bills prepared by Mr.. Strong after
a long and careful study of the situation.
They ought to be passed, and Governor
Whitman ought to lend his personal in
fuence to assuring their passage, so that
his administration may have the credit
of placing them on the statute books.
