He thinks those are his own lips laughing

His own breasts curvjng under silk and
How shall we know our real selves. he
and l.
Which is the woman which the butterfly .
The lyrics in "The Hesitant Heart"
are songs of seclusion and images Of
dreams. Miss Welles lives in her own
little world. and whatever may be hap
pening without passes beyond her
notice.
I've lived so long companionless
In this old house bowed down with years.
I've learned to welcome loneliness.
Converse with dreams and sit with fears
But sometimes chord of bitterness,
keen and personal, springs from her
singing. She cries out especially
against those who would intrude on
her retirement with proffers of too
patent friendship, as in "Symrpathy":
Oh. cruelty me. Nail my hands and feet
Strike in and turn the torture Of knife

Miss Winifred Welles's "The Hesitant
Heart" (Huebsch) arrives not only as
the best first book of verse of the
season to date. but as one of the most
notable current volumes of poetry by
an American writer.
Miss Weles is that rare and precious
thing, genuine lyrist with an eve
and an ear for beauty. The second
poem in the book, From Chinese
Vase indicates Miss Welles's unusual
gifts:
Roaming the lonely garden he and I
Pursue each other to the fountains bri,n
And there grow quiet-woman and butter
The frai clouds beckon me- the flowers
tempt him.
My thoughts are roselike, beautiful and
bright, 'N
Folded precise as petals are. and wings
Cplift my dreaming suddenly in flight.
And hll my soul with jagged colorings.

INVITE VAN SCHA|CK
BEFORE SENATORS

The Senate District Committee to-
day authorized Senator sherman TO
invite the Rev. DIR. John Van Schaick,
jr., TO come before the committee to
answer charges made against his
nomination as District Commissioner.
While no date has been set for DR..
Van Schaick's appearance, II Is be-
ftfeved that he will appear next Mon
day. when the committee Is scheduled
to meet again.
DR.. Van Schaick was in communica-
ton with Senator Sherman this morn
ing. The latter informed him that
the committee had not authorized him
to extend an invitation to him, which
explained the misunderstanding on
the question.
Opponents of DR.. Van Schaick in
tend to carry their fight to the court
if the nominee is confirmed on the
ground that he is ineligible for office
under the organic act of 1878, which
requires three years actual residence
in the District before appointment as
District Commissioner.
1t was APPARENT today that the Dis
trict Committee was in no hurry to
accet the nomination OF DR.. van
Schaick. The committee members are
widely divided on the question Of his
eligibility.
Opponents of DR.. Van Schaick be-
lieve they have cornered him with
proofs that he is voter of New YORK
State.
Senator Jones of Washington. one
of the Republican members of the
committee, who opposed the appoint
ment of Commissioner Newman on
the same grounds, returned to WASH
ington today after a long absence.
While he is noncommittal on the Van
Schaick appointment, opponents Of
DR.. Van Schaick are confident of his

on record as standing ready at all

law not only by lending our influence

selling moonshine whisky, to the end
that Marion county may be speedily

RESOLUTIONS PASSED
BY THE ROTARIANS

The Star highly appreciates the fol-
glowing resolutions recently passed by
thu Ocala Rotary Club:
Whereas a wave of crime has re-
Gently swept over our county, leaving
in its wake the usual train of vices
and evils, eliminating in the deplor-
able tragedy that took from us one
of our highly esteemed citizens; and,
Whereas, it appears to every
thoughtful citizen that the illicit
manufacture and sale Of whisky. COM
monty known as moonshine, is at the
root of the vast majority of this inn
morality and crime; and,
Whereas, the officers of the law,
though industrious and conscientious
men, seem unable to check this evil,
or catch the evildoers; and,
Whereas, we realize it will be i'm
possible for said officers to bring
about the desired result, without the
fullest cooperation and sympathy of
every good citizen of Marion county;
and,
Whereas, our attention has been
called to these matters in a most
foTceful and fearless manner by Edi-
tor j. Fl. Benjamin, in the columns OF
the Ocala Star of recent date; and,
Whereas, Judge w. S. Bullock, OF
the circuit court in the fifth judicial
circuit, sitting in Ocala, has made 6
most powerful charge to the grand
jury to rid the county of the unlawful
traffic in liquors,
n
Be 1t Resolved:

chain of events leading up to it, anc
the existence of the nefarious trafht

way to confirm the belief that Mr..
Wilson is not well enough to attend
to the public business. Of all the
cabinet officers. the only men among

1t is time that the city and county
officials, also the parents of the boys
implicated, were looking after q
bunch of youngsters who have been
hanging out lately in the vicinity OF

these youngsters has been making in
decent remarks to little girls passing
by unattended by older people. They
have also smashed several windows in
the armory and one in the Temple
theater, and if they are allowed to
continue their misbehavior they will
soon make everybody but an able
bodied man afraid to pass along the
street. These boys are not street
Arabs but belong to some of the best
families in town. Also, several OF
them belong to the Boy Scouts, ar

and the croix de guerre given him by
