STULTIFICATION OF SENATE.
Large America Will Never(Tolerate
Small Leadership.

Editor of The Washington Herald:
The Thirty-nine Immortals have
spoken-have demanded the arrest
of the worlds progress. This COM
posite Canute has squeaked a COM
mand to the tides of social advance
to rise no farther. This Senatorial
Sanhedrin has sentenced humanity
to political crucifixion. Devoid of
world vision and stimulated by
personal pique they have played
petty politics at the most crucial
moment in all history. o, grave and
reverend seigniors, what an amaz-
ing spectacle of shortsighted ami
mostly you have furnished an
astonished public. Fortunately, it
is, of course. a futility. a ridiculous
futility. That law of evolution
which was written in the stars of
human destiny when the founda-
tions of the earth were laid is not
to be retarded in it's operation by
your grotesque and puny opposi-
tion. This means goodnight for
you. Messrs. Lodge, Reed, and
compahy-good-by, adieu! Large
America will never tolerate such
small leadership. Long live the
league of nations-the United
States of the World!

The Washington herald., 1919-04-06

The first reason why this country
is destined to have a great volume of
peace prosperity is found in the vol
ume of peace work which must soon
be due.
For four years peace industries
have been abandoned in the interest
of war industries. In order that guns
and ammunition might be made. and
war ships built, practically all the
hands and machines of our country
have been taken from their normal
employment and concentrated on these
special lines. The result is that there
are millions of unperformed tasks
waiting to be performed. There are
houses to be built, roads 10 be re-
constructed. railroads to be rebuilt,
trolley cars to be manufactured. fab
RIGS to be woven and specialties to
be manufactured.

Text: There's smile the face of a tombstone)
With all of your pride and with all of your pother
How much do you know of your grandathers father?
Reducing it down to its ultimate decimal,
You'll admit that its fraction infnitesimal.
Scarce deed that he did, word that he
An oath that he prayer that he muttered!
And yet he kissed, he cursed, he mated;
He was lauded and loved he harried and hated
Yet after the rites OF his last cemeterial,
He's erased from the page from his birth his burial
So you whove forgotten who chanced you
Even your descendants will soon cease bother
In the midst of their marketngs mummngs and maragngs
They'll have time at all for disparagngs
As you outlaw your debt to the past and preceding
So you cancel your claim on the ages succeeding,
Hence the Here and the Now those who favor
Are the only not yet inclined to- forget you.
So go your way gaiy while getting and giving,
And take notice daily to live while you're living,
