WARNING

AS long as you never marry me, and
1 never marry you,
There's nothing on earth that we
cannot say and nothing we
cannot do
The flames lift up from our blowing
hair, the leaves fash under
our feet
When once in a year or q score of
years our hands and our
daughters meet!
For east and west through a sorry
world we pass with our JOY
to sell,
And they that buy OF our song and
do we'll,
But few can sell us the mirth they
buy, and few be that know
a song,
And for all OF the praise of the
kindly folk. their speeches
are over long!
But two of a trade, one always
hears, might get in each others
way.
And you might be wanting to sing.
God wot, when / desired to
play.
(Oh, it's rather a danger with folks
like us and our sparks that
are flying free)
But I never, never must marry you,
and you never must marry
me!
But when we take breath from
songs at last, to be what the
rest call dead,
CT Or hn
they made. and noble the
iests they said!"
And they will inscribe on our
monuments regret that our
day is done
But we Will be off in an excellent
place. and having most ex-
cellent fun
oh, very proud from a golden cloud
you'll stride in your crown
and wings,
Till you hear my little earthly laugh
from behind my golden harp
strings;
And you'll lay your gemmed theorbo
down on the nearest star or
moon,
And carry.me of on a comets back
for a long, wild afternoon.
And while we're lashing the comet
up till it misses st. Michaers
Way.
And laugh to think how the seraphs
blink. and what the good
saints will say,
We'll heave a little sigh of con-
tent-or a wistful one, maybe
To know that I never can marry
you, and you never can marry

RESTORE CONFIDENCE

n RESIDENT WILSON used to be
r strong advocate of what he
has termed "pitiless publicity"
but in view of what has transpired
during the last year or two in the
conduct of public affairs the aver
age intelligent citizen is forced to
the conclusion that "pitiless pub
licity" in the Presidents mind must
mean the absence of publicity of
any sort.
The United States is vitality inter-
ested in everything that is now oc-
curing in Paris at the Paris con-
ference, but the people are per-
mitted to know mighty little of what
is actually taking place. and that
in most cases not until after the
fact. It would seem in the very ma
ture of the case there must be tre-
mendous protest before long from
the body of the people against the
autocratic tendencies of the pres
ent administration at Washington
and Paris.
Men of all parties and of no par
ticular party are stepping out of
their reserve to say what they think
regarding the unusual spectacle of
the American people submitting to a
one-man Interpretation of their wills
and dictation of the country's poll
cies. As has been declared in Con-
gress over and over during the last
few weeks we are in an impossible
situation. Out of it all must come

GOOD SELECTIONS

~ OVERNOR Sproul gave recog-
milton to merit and hard work
when he re-appolnted AdJu-
tant General Beary and Fish Com
missioner Butler yesterday. Both
have demonstrated their fitness for
the work of their departments.
General Beary did a particularly
good job in the organization of the
Pennsylvania Reserve Militia to take
the place of the National Guard
when it went into Federal service
and in a few months placed in the
field a well equipped, soldierly or
ganization that to all appearances
might have been years in develop
ing. His motorizing of the trans
port branch of the service and re-
plenishment of the State arsenals
depleted stocks during period when
industry was working at capacity
for the national government was
a feat of which any man might have
been proud, especially since the pur-
chases were made for the most part
at figures far below the market
price to ordinary trade.
Mr.. Butler knows more about the
fisheries of the State than any one
other man. He has had long ex-
perience as commissioner, but pre-
vious to that spent years in the
study of fish culture and it's prac-
teal application, getting his first ex-
perience as early as 1871 in the
old Donegal fish hatchery on Gen.
eral Cameron's farm. He has the
confidence of the fishermen of the
State and with freer hand than he
ever has had before may be ex-
pected to do big things for the
streams of Pennsylvania during the
next four years.
Changes in the Public Service
Commission were to have been ex-
pected. 1t had been repeatedly
charged that the appointment of
Magee and Ryan were largely politi-
cal and it is but natural, when the
opportunity offered, that Governor
Sproul should surround himself with
men not only well fitted for the du-
ties of the commission but friendly
TO himself and his administration as
well.

dent of the Pennsylvania State as

REMARKABLE GROWTH
SHOWN IN STATE OF
INSURANCE BUSINESS

PHOENIX. Ariz., April 1.-THE in
surance business as disclosed by the
books OF the state corporation COM
mission, is growing as everything else
is in Arizona. The receipts OF the
insurance department OF the commits.
sion for March amounted TO s7T.404. 20.
That is within $4,000 of the total re.
ceipts of that department for the en-
tire OF the year 1915: is 20 per cen;
in excess OF the receipts Of any month
since the organization Of the commits
sion following the admission of Ari-
iona to statehood
But the most remarkable compar:-
son is found IN the fact that the re-
ceipts from this single source come
within 500 OF paying the expenses of
the commission for the biennium.
This is only one OF the sources OF
revenue Of the commission. Another
is the Incorporating department which
ordinarily turns in as much. and the
third is the secretary's department
whose collections for the year usually
amount TO about $4,000, derived from
fees for certificates OF incorporation.
The chief source of revenue FROM
the insurance department is the tax
Of 2 per cent on the premiums collec-
ted by the insurance companies. About
half this tax is retained by the state.
:he rest going to the cities and towns
in which the permium collections are
made.
These figures indicate a remarka BILE
