THE UNION

(Alfred Noyes in the Yale RevtewJ
You have gathered together the sons
OF all races.
And welded them into one,
Lifting the torch OF your Freedom on
hungering faces
That sailed to the setting sun:
You that have made Of mankind In
your own proud regions
The music of man to be,
How should the old earth sing OF YOU
now, as your legions
Rise to set all men free?
How should the singer that know the
proud vision and loved It
In the days when not all men knew
Gaze, through his tears, on the light
now the world has approved IL
Or dream, when the dream come'
true?
How should he sing when the Spiri
OF Freedom in thunder
Speaks, and the wine press Is red;
And the sea winds are loud with tn
chains that are broken asunde
| And nations that rise from tn
dead?
Flag Of the sky, proud flag Of tina
wide communion,
Too mighty for thought to scan;
flag of the many In one, and that las
world union.
That kingdom Of God in man.
Ours was dream, in the night,
that last federation,
But yours Is the glory unfurled,'
The marshaled nations and stars tn
shall make one nation
, One singing star of the world.

which see marked on some Of thu

Star-Reporter says on that point
the question Of how prices do strug

Down the street you can see bar

price from 40c to soc pound. TIL

dispatch in Tampa Times)

Tallahassee, Dec. 3.--The shippers |
OF Florida will not see the railroad |
interests of the state kill the railroad
commission without fight.
They remember that no further
back than this summer the state rail-
road commission In directing the ef-
forts to secure a revision Of the order
from the railroad administration abol-
ishing the southern classification,
saved the shippers of Florida hun
dreds Of thousands Of dollars. It was
conclusively shown by the state rail.
road commission at that time that
abolishing the southern classification
meant not only freight raise OF 70
per cent, but in few cases less than
100 per cent, and In many cases as
much as 800, 400 and even 500 per
cent.
So, publication in the Times and In
other papers Of the fact that the gov
ernor had Joined with railroad inter-
ests in advocating the abolition of the
tax commission and the railroad COM
mission, aroused shippers. They did
not care so much about the tax COM
mission, though 1t Is predicted that
they will when they begin to see rail-
road taxes 60 down In comparison
with general property taxes, but they
were vitality interested in the proposal
to abolish the railroad commission
end they have made themselves felt
in kilograms and letters to members
urging that no such step be taken.
The Times correspondent has beer
able to secure the names Of more thar
80 shippers who have urged member
not to stand for such movement. 81
far he has been able to learn Of bu
one man who urged that the railroad
commission be done away with H
is Peter o. Knight, Tampa.

written to members urging that tn
governors recommendation be vote

EAGER 70 GET TO EUROPE
Steamship Offices Thronoed With
Wouid-Be Passengers

New York. Dec. 3.-During the last ,
week the steamship offices downtown
have been thronged with persons anx- |
ious to visit relatives In Great Brit
ain, France, Italy, and Belgium. Num-
bers of army officers wives have ap-
piled for leave to go to France and
return to America with their nus
bands when the troops return. The
State Department at Washington has
notified the steamship lines that the
passport restrictions will not be re-
moved until at least six months after
the peace treaty has been signed.
+ In the meantime, the agents said
yesterday, Americans and aliens who
have urgent reasons to go abroad will
be able to get passports which have
to be stamped at the respective con-
sulates and by the Customs Intelli-
gence officials. Women are allowed
to cross the ocean, but the British
Ministry will not permit more than
TWENTY-FIVE to sail on each ship All
Atlantic steamships, including the
Mauritania, Olympic, and Aquitanla,
which are naval transports, will keep
their lower decks fitted for carrying
Troops until the entire American and
Canadian forces have been brought
hack from France. The passenger
, accommodations is confined to the
1.-TWO upper decks. The single hertz
, rooms have been converted into two
/ berth cabins, and the double ones In
, Ito four berthrooms. The minimum
D rates, first cabin, range from $155 tt
I |s175. The neutral lines are mucl
4 higher. the minimum fare, first-clas
e from New York to Rotterdam beinl
1926.
J Steamship agents said yesterda
Q that they did not expect the regula
q Atlantic passenger business to b
e resumed until the Spring OF 1871
a Fares will remain high to all part
" Of the world, and there is very littl
o. chance Of the popular cheap tours
le travel being renewed for long tim
q to come, as railroad and hotel rate
!, had increased from so to 100 pc
cent. everywhere, including India an
u the Far East. Steerage travel cannt
. be resumed until the troop fitting
