postponed for those persons with thirst and
money and foresight sufficient to provide for
it's quenching. But for the man Of lowly
means. the laborer who tolls by the day, there
can be no such relief, not even in the harm
less ga per cent stuff. He perforce must
remain strictly sober while his more well-to-

prohibition has worked out in Richmond. and
that Is the way it will work throughout dry
America under the present congressional plan.

Flood Tide in the Marsh.

Pours fast. fun soon the time Of the

Here ana there,
Everywhere.
TIL his waters have flooded the utter

And tho marsh is mcshed with mil

That like as with rosy and silvery
essences flow
In the rosc-and silver evening glow.
Farewell. my lord sun,
The creeks overflow: 4 thousand rivu-

And the sea and the marsh are one.

Cardinal Gibbons, at eighty five years of
age, is as active physically many men two
decades his junior, and few match him
in intellectual power and brilliancy. Time
has touched lightly this prince of the church
who, as his years have increased, has grown
in spiritual stature, in the influence for good
that he Yields and in the love that he COM
mands from whole nation, regardless of re-
ligious beliefs and affiliations. May he long
be spared to serve as an example Of real and
sturdy Amercanism.

Talk Of sending Alvin York to Congress
is OF a kind that spoiled a hero OF the
Spanish American War and terminated his
usefulness to his country by placing him in
a position for which there were many men
in his district much better qualified Ser
geant York has secured him a wife and been
donated farm, and he is far more capable
of attending to his duties in respect to these
than he is OF essaying the task Of making
the nations laws.

Now that Germany has ratified the peace
treaty it is proposed to release its nationals
on parole in this country from further obli-

Fifty Americshs murdered in two years in
Mexico and no arrests made is strong in
dlctment against the friendship and good
faith OF the southern republic and still
stronger one against the inactivity of Wash
