SEEN ON THE SIDE
Whom the mnhy snys lbs prayers.
BY HENRY EDwARf, WARMER


There's moment that is hallowcd in tho lives
of careless men,
Who wasteful of their moments but who
tarry and then
By the side Cf sweet vision that is
balsam to their souls
Men who fight and curse and struggle in
in the battle for their goals;
There's a time when business pauscs when the
is stu and far
When the sordd earth is nothing to a
enulgent star:
It's that moment when the worst of US
the simple glory shares
or the beauty in tho picture when the baby
says its prayers.
When the weary day is ended and we're in the
family heart,
Standing free from cares and worries from
anxeties apart.
What are Kings and Cars and Princes?
what lands and what is gold?
What are all the goods and chattcls and
the values bought and sold?
with mans own roof above him and a mans
joys share.
WITH the wife and with tho children, what
possessions more fair?
For the wealth of all the Kingdoms Of the
earth is not above
Just the golden glory Elittcrinr in tho
little Bank of Love!
And It's sweet to know that labor leads tho
toilcr home again
To haven OF contcntment To a n,r,dir. =,
men;
To the prat,ic Of his subjccts-yes It Is a
little thing:
But the lowiicst among us has place
whore he is King.
And OF all the little wonders there is nothing
that l know
Quite powerful to soo.be us or n h.,, ar
troubles so.
AS the little night -gowncd figure kncclIn-
by its trunde bed

Bryan and tho Canadians

A TORONTO audience has Kissed William J.
~ Bryan from the stage. A few hundred
antiprohibitionists prevented this American
from delivering an address TO several thou
sand men and women who had invited him
to appear before them, and to discuss in his
own way the issue of temperance. Ordinarily
a hoisterous or riotous element in any polite
audience is either silenced driven out by
the respectable element. but in this instance
no move seems to have been made to protect
Mr.. Bryan from the aifront which hostile
hearers heaped upon him.
The whole circumstance is deplorable.
There are tens Of thousands of Americans
who do not agree with Mr.. Bryan upon the
liquor question. There are tens of thousands
who do not agree with him upon any political
question. But all Americans recognize in him
patriotic and sincere man; national figure,
the leader OF a great body of our citizenship
and former Secretary of State OF the United
States. He is no idle agitator. He is no paid
propagandist. He is no sleek lobbyist in the
cause of prohibition. He is a man Of great
ability, Of great distinction and great power
in his own country.
For these reasons no foreign audience.
least Of all Canadian audience, at such a
time as this has right to insult him. and
by insulting him to arouse wholesome resent
ment upon the millions Of his countrymen
who follow him and who regard him their
BIO given such a reception in America, what
ever his views upon political questions. For
the past nine months this country has been
engaged in showing every consideration and
every measure of hospitality possible to show
to British and Canadian representatives
These men have como as representatives Of
a government allied with in lifc-and-
death war. They have come seeking Amer-
can support. seeking American money, Amcri-
can food and American munitions, and they
have been given all they have asked. True,
Mr.. Bryan went to Canada no official mis-
sion. He went there only as Il private citizen,
but he went there at the invitation OF Cana
dians, and was entitled to the fullest degree
OF courtesy and protection while in the midst
or presumably friendly people. 1t may we'll
be believed that most Canadians will blush
for tho act OF rough -ncckcry which was com
nittcd by the Toronto audience, and that they
Will wish for some favorable opportunity to
express their regret at what has happened.

What Do the Treasurcrs Fear?

| I is pertinent at this time to ask why Vir-
gnias county trcasurers are violently
opposed to an audit OF their books at regular
intervals by tho States accountants. Should
an employee OF Il private corporation manifest
such opposition to an examination Of his &C
counts, there would be ample room for sus-
picon that all was not we'll with them, and
a pcrcmptory audit would be made. But
when it is proposed that the General Assem-
bly, pass law providing that simple and we'll
recognized business methods be applied to
the handling OF its funds, there is Immediately
loud protest from the county trcasurcrs
and their lobby forthwith hurrica OFF to Rich
mond, members arc deluged with letters and
the bill is killed.. At least, that has been the
procedure in the past; whether or not similar
methods will prevail at this time remains TO
be seen.
Already the original Buchanan bill. pro-
vidlng for regular audits, has been killed; a
second measure, providing for the audit OF
state funds in the hands OF county collecting
officials. is pending. Its introduction has
heen followed by food OF letters from the
counties demanding that it be killed Tax
payers or Virginia would like to know why if
the books of the trcasurers will bear inspcc-
ton as to their methods Of accounting they
thus resent the suggestion that one be made
1t can hardly be on the ground OF expense,
because that would be little moro than NOM
inal. If the books will not bear inspection.
then there is all the more reason why the
people should DO informed
There is no question here as to the honesty
OF the treasurers, but there u.s. and for a long
time has been. very serious question as to
