The SchuYlkilI


T SAW the Schuylkill river greasy gray, =
The grimy barges drifting slow thereon,
And grunting through the dul- and dingy
dawn
Along the banks switch engines at their play.
THE great gas houses loomed cylindrical
l. BY lofty chimney stacks beforested;
An alley cat skunk by battered wall,
And brndle pups came down the river,
dead.

Scheherezade has sent us poem about
harem. After having it on our desk for
couple of weeks and looking at it a. number
of times. we have decided not to print It,.
This will lead all our clients to think that
the poem is much better than it really is.
Senator Fall says he noticed certain
thickness in the Presidents speech.
And the President may, from time to tlme'
have noticed a certain thickness in some
senatorial heads, so honors are still even.
There seems to us a deal of Unconscious
humor in the agitation of some senators lest
the President should not be able to cope
with them mentally.

Where the Yanetse- -kIans Meets the
China Seas
ON THE sinking Yangtse- Kiang, where
" it meets the China Seas,
There's a little junk that's moored along
the side;
And the lateen sails are Tapping in the odor-
laden breeze
As the lazy prov is swung against the tide.
| Through the mad turmoil of shipping, while
the coolies sweat and scream,
There's little craft that's floating calm,
serene;
| And while river -mists are rising in lazy,
hazy dream,
There's a girl that waits in purple silks
and green.
It's palace on the water, is that little junk
| of mine,
(Though it's really but bungalow in
size y
| But what makes it seem like heaven is the
fairy, starry CLEAN
OF pair of trusting Oriental eyes.
| Now, you'll please excuse my raving, as I'm
going to leave you soon,
For l know plant waist I'd like to
squeeze;
| Pretty soon III whisper nothings in a junk

Roy Heton, who knows more about Phila-

that back in the seventies the town was eA
livencd by a coachman- poet called Suthill.
The only trouble with his poems, Roy says,
after studying volume Of them at the Mer-
camille Library, was that they didn't live
up to his name.
We wonder whether any one remembers
him? We would like to know more about
him.
We are delighted to hear about that old

this present passing of dominance
is not a case of an old champion
losing the belt in 4 final fight
against a younger challenger. All
the other historic cases of the pass
ing of dominance have been marked
by great war between the two
rivals. But in the process by which
Great Britain is losing her domi-
nance, she and the nation that is
taking the prize from her were not
rivals, but partners. We did not
fight Great Britain for it; Germany
and fate thrust it upon us. That is
fact that should make us modest
as it Is possible to be and consider
ate in the exercise of our new su-
premacy.
Germany started to seize Great
Britain's place in the sun by force
of arms; she failed to get 1t for
herslf, but she did deprive Great
Britain of it. BY virtue of the
economic changes wrought by the
war, dominance comes to America
And when the London Statist says

present century" that is merely a
way of stating it softly. The fact
is that America is the greatest of eX-
