When Robins Sing,

When robins sing. comes merry Spring
All decked in leaves and flowers.
Dancing in Elee and caroling
Her veil thousand showers.
Fresh is her color. bright her eyes
And in them deep the love-light lies.
When the robins sing, tho glad birds wing
Through boughs and underbrushes-
Trees to the breeze their new buds fling;
The freed brook lakeward rushes
GurglinE its note to play it's part
In the new song from Natures heart
When robins sing. their songs enthrall
And bind my soul. who love them!
i. like the birds, sense the sweet call
OF clear blue skies above them.
when the wild March drives February,
too. in April. would be merry.

Rcbuking the President

TT may be assumed that the Democratic
caucus of the House felt no enthusiasm
over the position 1t took in opposition to
President Wilson on the question of universal
military training. 1t is not comfortable
thing for party leaders in one branch of the
government to take issue publicly with their
party chieftain in the White House. but while
there may have been misgivings in the House
regarding the course taken there, the vote
repudiating the advice Of Mr. Wilson was
overwhelming and, therefore, exceedingly
significant
rms is the first time i'll almost seven years
that Mr.. Wilson has been deliberately tiouted
Dy his party associates in either branch of
Congress. He has not received the support
ne hoped Tor in many minor matters It is
true, Dut never before has either the House
or senate caucus moved by formal action to
disregard his counsels or refused to follow
his leadership. And the legislators who had
the poldness to record themselves against
nm on this occasion are wondering If the
country generally supports them in their
stand.
Fortunately for the caucus. the burden of
the argument in this situation is on their
side. The President undoubtedly occupied
an inconsistent position He has permitted
MS own secretary Of War TO commit the adj
mlhlstration to the principle of universal
mliltary training and yet he asked the House
democrats not to commit themselves upon
me question. To have kept faith with the
,iousc' the President should have repudiated
Mr. Bakers commitment, proclaimed his own
heutralty and called upon the House Demo-
Gratis TO have done the same thing
lrrltated as they were, however over tbe
.ac' ,hat the administration had gone on
record Tor universal training the uorse
members felt at liberty to record their views
ne! saw no good reason why they should
await The action OF the San Francisco con-
'ehtion when the administration had not
awaited 1t, and they can scarcely be blamed
.of exercising their independence with respect

1t will continue to do so for u long time to
come. The reason for this strength is easily
explained. The last official Federal report
on consumption Of cotton presents these data:
Mill consumption in January, $4,000 bales
compared with $4,000 i'll January 1919;
amount i'll public warehouses and at mills
in storage, $3.50, 600 compared with 4,594,O0O
In 1919; exports, $4,000 compared with
$4,000 in 1919; spindles active in January
S4.739,O00 compared with 33,S66,OO0 in
January, 1919. In other words, the mills
are consuming more cotton, there are more
srindlcs converting the cotton into cloth
exports are larger, and there is less cotton
by 100000 bales available from the con-
tents OF warehouses and mills These con-
ditions are underlying ones and are chiefly
responsible for the strength OF prices
