of conscience were too much for
him. and he wants to repay the
money and be forgiven.

an. whose name is not given, and

A TWo.sIDEp QUESTION.

The recent anti-prohibton demonstration in Baltimore,
where is stated 10000 people marched is to be follow
ed June ID a national parade in Washington, par
ticpated in by representatives Of labor organizations
throughout the country and intended to emphasize their
demand for repeal of the wartime prohibition law
far it affects Der and light wines The committee in
charge of the parade that it excerpts 100000
workers to march in the anti beer and light wine proh
bton parade in Washington. Labor organizations from
far west Chicago and St. Louis have said they would
send delegations There viii be a salute to the flag on
the plaza in front of the Capitol and speeches will be de-
livered by members of Congress.
The trouble about this and other demonstrations with
the purpose in view is that they late after
the wartime prohibition has been passed and signed by
the President and after the prohibition amendment the
Constitution has been ratified by the states If the people
who concerned about the loss of their privileges
had shown the earlier it might have beer
possible to except te mlder alcoholic beverages such
beer and light wines from the drastic prohibition imposed
There be doubt whatever that there exists
the ranks of the people, not merely members of labor
ganzatons but in all classes very strong resentment
against national prohibition. Soldiers returned from Flu
rope indignant that the law enacted during their
absence. Workmen who all their lives have used slim
ulans in moderation and have found harm in doing
have suddenly awakened the fact that their habits
living must undergo a very decided readjustment Cit
Eens who already feel the heavy burden of taxation
beginning to realize that the loss of $500 100000 Fedora
from the liquor bushes meanss added tax
Of 81 per capita upon them and those who are anxious
gardng the industrial situation shocked to learn that
several hundred thousand employed in the brewing
and dsllng industries may be added the ranks of the
unemployed All of which indicates that liquor legsa
ton, like al other questions, has two sides

THE DlLETT.ANT

To lie outright in the light of day
Pm not sufficiently skilf,l
But l practice bit in an amateur
way,
The lie which is hardly willful;
The society lie and the business lie
And the lie l have had to double,
And the lie that l lie when | don't
know why
And the truth is too much trouble.
For this | am willing to take your
blame
Unless you have sometimes done the
same.
To be a fool of an "A-1" brand
Pm not sufficiently clever,
But l have often tried my prentice
hand,
In a callow and crude endeavor;
A fool with the money for which I've
toiled,
A fool with the word I've spoken,
A foolish fool who is fooled and foil
ed
On maiden's finger broken.
If 20 uneven yourself have made a
slip,
I'm willing to watch your curl your
lip.
And yet my blood and my bons re-
sist
If you dub me fool and liar
I set my teeth and double my fist
And my brow is flushed with fire.
You | deny and you defy
And l vow | will make you rue it;
And l lie when l say that l never lie,
Which proves me fool to do i'll
You may jerk your thumb at me and
grin
If liar and fool you have never been.

APPEAL TO PHYSICIANS

On next Sunday, June 9th, at 2:30,
P. M, Red Cross Rallies will be held
over Greene county in the interest of
the campaign we are waging against
disease and for education of our peo-
pie in First Aid and Home Nursing.
This should specially appeal to all
practicing physicians, for it is a well
known fact that more people die
from lack of proper nursing than
from most any other cause.
Our Chapter will greatly appre-
ciate it if physicians wherever they
may happen to be on next Sunday
afternoon will drop in at the most
convenient point, and encourage our
movement by short talk on the sub
ject of better home nursing.
Respectfully,

To a man who gained his knowledge

Oh, it always makes me SILVER, when

OF opinions tackle subjects which the
wisest men perplex;
And / always start to fussing when
some boob begins discussing
With assurance weighty problems
which the greatest sages vex.
In this world where men must do
things, we may learn to know a
few things,
But the knowledge of the wisest in
the end is very small;

resent the bold intrusion
And not listen to the rawlings of the
man who knows it all.

This Life.
! hear the crouch complain, "This
life's total loss; we meet with grief
and pain, but joys don't come across.
Doomed are our fairest plans, our
hopes are in the hole; and men are
also rams, who never reach their
goal" A guy who thinks like this
of course finds life a wreck; how can
he sample bliss, who says there's none
on deck? How can a ann be glad,
and taste the joyous years, if ne
makes woe a fad, and lays the dust
with tears? Some fird this life so
gay, with all its glazing faults, they
hate to pass away, to rest in boneyard
vaults. They know the life to come,
devoid of tears and woe, will make
this life seem bum, and yet they hate
to go. And / am in their class this
world seems full of glee; these days,
which swiftly pass, are good enough
for me. am the bully boy who side
steps useless care; look around for
Joy, and find it everywhere. l am
the buoyant lad to whom the world
seems fine; determined to be glad,
have no use for brine. Is life ty-
rant rude? Is life a thing of bliss ?
It's all your attitude which makes it

SAYINGS OF MRS. SOLOMC
BY Helen Rowland

Behold, my Daughter, the Bard
hath sung of Arms-and the Man.
But | sing Of Arms-and the WO-
MAN!
For 10, it hath come to pass that
since a woman cannot bear arms for
her country, she hath determined to
BARE her OWN arms to all the
world! And naught can stop her
neither modesty, nor frost, nor wind,
nor sun, nor storms, nor suffering,
nor vanity!
What is this that see before me,
as l sit in the tavern, or stroll upon
the highway, or enter the ballroom,
or view the beach parade?
Verify, verify, it is a forest of
ArmS
Arms to the right of me, arms to
the left of me, arms all around me
Drawing the elements!
| sing of Arms-and the woman!
OF fat, dowager arms, red and un-
alluring, coyly disporting themselves
beneath diamond shoulder straps.
Of scrawny, fapper arms, swing
ing like swagger sticks in the breeze.
OF brown, athletic-girl arms, knot
~ and muscular, working like pump
handles, protruding from infinitesi-
nal sport-sleeves.
Of weird, bony, Incorporating
arms, waving coquettishly beneath
their revealing camouhage of georg-
cite crepe.
Of red, peeling, sunburned arms Of
motley, freckled arms, swinging gro
tesquely from sleeveless bathing
suits.
Of shiny arms, of fabby arms, of
rough arms with red elbows.
OF coarse arms, and pathetic arms
and of over-developed arms and un-
der-developed arms
And of, here and there, slender,
soft, white, curved arm, like lilly
in a field of cornstalks!
Go to, my daughters! In the name
of beauty, in the name of symmetry,
in the name of comfort, Of health and
Of common sense; in the name of ro-
nance and masculine illusions, in the
name of vanity, in the name of
CHARITY, / beseech thee, cover
thine arms from the eyes of men!
For it is not with his eyes that a
man falleth in love, but through his
IMAGINATION. And what portion
of thine arms hast thou left to that?
Alas, alas Ears are not beautiful,
and bare feet are more hideous than
cubist's widest fancy; but barred
ARMS are an affliction to the sight
which excelleth them all
Yea, they are more painful than
frank husband, more shocking than
a swear word in the mouth of de-
butante and more notwithstanding
than a first quarrel or a brides cook
ing.
Therefore, heed my exhortation.
For sing of arms and the woman!
But my song is not paean of praise,
but a prayer for mercy!
Seah.
