The IS found in a statement made by Otto

'SooaIst success in New York city results

Five socialist members elected to the New York
legislature a year ago were elected, three of
them were expelled again when they were returned

The explosions from the legislature have
wonderfully strengthened in best dis

JUST FOLKS
BY EDGAR A. GUEST
CHARACTER

True greatness is in reach OF all,
IT'S not the merit of the few:
We need not heed some stirring call,
A deed beyond our skill to do;
We need not spend our strength for
Nor quit the humble walks Of
life
Nobility OF soul 10 claim,
True greatness is not born Of
strife.
It matters not what work we do.
What post Life asks OF US 10 fill,
We can be honest men and true.
Though lacking genius or skill:
The workman digging in the street.
Scarce noticed by the passer-by.
May be too great TO play the cheat.
Too big Of soul 10 tell a lie.
Worth is not always well arrayed.
Fine raiment's but an outer shell,
Beneath the shabby garb and fray
A patriotic heart may dwell.
The man the proud behold with
with honest coin may pay his
way,
Despite appearances forlorn
His conscience may be clear as
day.
Medals and crowns are glory's
marks.
Fame is a witness of a success
But character throws off its sparks
OF lasting brilliance, none the less.
And characters one jewel which
The humblest man his own may
call
Equal with famous men and rich
True greatness is In reach of all.
