THE CITY OF DESIRE

LNROM out some hidden Faraway,
\ They ride. a vision band,
OF dear dead dreams. of thoughts untold
That none can understand.
And all who hear them pass must rise
And follow them with straining eyes,
To seek where that fair city lies,
The City of Desire!
So on! And on! And ever on!
O'er. road and rock and hill,
Afar the vision riders flash,
And we must follow still!
Speed on Speed on! Though few shall
Yet none must ever tire
When these pale riders lead the way,
The way to Hearts Desire!
On On while siren voices call
- They toll tirelcss throng.
The miser with his bag of gold
The poet with his song.
The warrior on his mighty way.
The youth and maid, the grave and
gay,
All seeking ever day by day
The City of Desire!
So on And on! And ever on!
Through all the tale of years,
SO long as there are dreams to dream,
SO long az life hath tears.
Press on Press on !! Though few shall
find
let none must ever tire
When those pale riders lead the way,
The way to Hearts Desire.

IN THE past Mr.. Stotesbury did good

come the representative on the transit
board of interests remote from the city,

Mr.. Stotesbury, by force Of Circum

In street car corporations have felt
that. even though the Mittpn Plan
might suit Philadelphia. it ought to be-
changed for the sake OF the moral effect
which such q change would have in

A seven cent fare would be of doubt

supposed that Mr.. Stotcsbury was not

that he did not feel justified in the
assertion that a higher rate was war

ment is concerned only with practical
problems of street ear service in phia

thinking OF trolleys in banking terms
almost exclusively, there can be no
question about the place whcrc public

GOVERNOR COX will probably
~ press upon his rival some questions
of his own about the League of Nations.
Where precisely does Senator Harding
stand upon the league covenant?
The language of his party's platform
Is vague. Senator Johnson insists that
it means no league at all.
Herbert Hoover implies that it means
the Wilson league. plus, probably, the
Lodge reservations.
Governor Cox will probably answer
Senator Harding's league questions with
questions of his own.
If both candidates. talking to each
other through the press every morning,
define their positions they may make the
league an issue.
But can they make it the issue of the
campaign?
The rapid fire of questions keeps up.
The search for an issue goes on.

cape the sacrifice of dignity which a
