Poems Worth Reading.

SFrom Strength to Strength"
They go from strength to strength" an
ancient text.
I understood It not when nrst read
But this, with many q legend that per-
picked.
Life has resolved for me a. years
have sped.
In youth they counted mo among the
weak;
Fear emptied his full culver In this
heart.
From presaged I'll no covert now seek.
Nor blench when shadows grim
around me start
I gather strength in going. Ask not
how,
With Time to beat me down. I 90
withstand:
Strength comes. but comes not answer
ing prayer or VOW,
But IL some instant exigence demand.
As IL a voice, like Loves. disguised as
Scorn,
Rang clearly out: Thou seest? Do
thou hat
And help this fellow traveller GER
borne
Dare not thy blessed privilege do
fault?"
And other times with airy mockery:
us this thy plea. that thou art out OF
health?
Penurious OF effort wouldst thou be
Who hast of energy a rolled up
wealth."
And then I know my afiuence--I feel
A sanity in every atom mine;
Is there a load to share, a blow to deal?
I find the power for which I once did
pine.
Why look with envy on the young and
strong.
since SO. beyond my dreams, the
years befriend?
Oh. II this Force Unknown I bear along,
I shall be heartened to the very end.
I gather strength in going. Wherefore
And not those comrades Of tho cartier
timer
Lot them forgive mo II our evening sky
Shall seem to mo to hold tho Star of
Prime.

the country about It. II lies on the
borders Of Nepal and Tibet. and
around IL on all sides Is forbidden
land. In the last attempt to reach
the mountain the Maharajah Of Nepal
gave his permission to the expedition,
but all Of his mobiles entered a pro-
test and he was forced to withdraw
his consent. The present expedition
has similar opposition to overcome. II
the explorers were to attempt to 60 by
way of Tibet, the route which appears
the most practicable and is beset with
the fewest natural obstacles, they
might find no opposition from the
Tibetans. But the Indian Govern
ment, knowing the suspicious DISPOSE
ton OF these people, refuses at present
to grant Its permission to any expior-
ing party to enter the country.
The Indian Government, which has
expressed approval Of the expedition,
holds out promise that the conditions
In india will later be such as to re-
move the political obstacles. In the
meantime the members of the expedi-
ton now In India are making prep
arations to overcome the mountaineer-
ing difficulties. They are arranging
for the formation of camps and depots
of supplies and the collection Of a
force OF natives, who will be the bur-
den bearers. This kind of help. 1t Is
asserted, Is extremely difficult to find !;
the natives themselves have never
shown any skill as mountaineers and
they object greatly to the cold Of the
high attitudes.
The actual conditions which noun
tain climbers will find are purely mat
tiers Of speculation. There Is nothing
known even Of the approach to the
base Of the mountain or Of the means
to be taken to reach the starting point
Of the real climb. So far as can be
judged by telescope inspection from
great distances the upper 5000 or
5000 feet, II they were at Alpine level.
would be climbable, but Sir MARrnN
CONWAY, an authority on Himalayan
regions, says that many mountains
In the Himalayas are cut off all round
in the middle region by inaccessible
cliffs or by steep slopes swept by
avalanches."
1t is believed that with the most
thorough and complete preparations
and with the establishment of proper
camps and supply stations the expedi-
ton might accomplish its purpose,
that is If the ascent Of Everest proves
human possibility, in about two
years. The ascent Of Mount Everest
has for the mountaineer the same IT.
rrsistible attraction which the dis
covery Of the poles had for the ex-
plorers. And the real benefit to hui
mainly would be the same in one case
as in the other.

Aiding the Country Doctor

An experiment of great impor-
lance was undertaken recently when
a group of twenty specialists in vari-
GUS branches Of medicine and sur
gerry gathered at Goshen, Orange
County, for three days, conducting a
rural consultation Clinic" which is
said to be the first of it's kind in the
history of the United States. The
object primarily is to provide expert
assistance to country doctors in 10:
calities which lack adequate labora-
tory equipment, even X-ray ma
chimes.
OF fifty-seven New York counties,
exclusive Of New York City, twenty
one are listed as having no clinic or
dispensary service Of any kind, nine
others having only one clinic, and
that for single speciality. The ef-
fort at Goshen was made as a test
case by the State Board Of Health,
with which various organizations CO.
operated, among them the State De-
partment Of Education, the State
Charities Aid Association, the Amer
lean Red Cross, the State Hospital

Eating Their Words
(From Tho Toledo Dcuv Blade

(From The Toledo Dolly Blade)
The friends Of Trotzky and Lenine in
America are stretching their SYM
pathies to grotesque lengths. For ex-
ample, the Chicago Federation of La
Dor has just passed resolutions COM
mending the Russian soviet govern
ment for "quelling the Polish revolt"
This Is to approve Of a war of con-
quest, to disapprove Of the principle Of
self-determination, to support impe-
rialism, to stand by the suppression of
the rights of small nations and to put
the stamp Of favor upon Napoleonic en-
terprises-all Of which violates the sort
Of thing that the radical section Of
labor was preaching \ few months
since. To have such loyal well-wishers
must be inspiring to the Russian So
viets. Yet it makes a monkey of the
pac.fist utterances that only a little
while ago were the warp and wool Of
radical speech.

consists in the purchase Of news
papers. The activities OF this COM
mittee extend even to Hungary,
where it supports and is in turn sup
ported by the notorious M. @. v. E.,
the political organization Of the
White Terrorist officers who work
for the restoration Of monarchy and
the subjugation Of the liberated peo-
pie. In word, this, the secret COM
mittee in Berlin, is the clearing
house Of reaction in Central Europe,
and little attention to it's doings on
the part Of London and Paris would
not be amiss.

The Greatest Crew

By it's brilliant victory over the
Leander crew in the sluggish canal
between Antwerp and Brussels the
American Navy crew from Annapo-
lis demonstrated that it was the best
in the world. Before starting for
the Olympic games the Navy eight
beat the best college crews over
various distances here. The crew
that it met in the 2,000-meter
race in the Olympic games was the
pick Of the oarsmen Of England.
The Annapolis eight was merely the
Annapolis eight. It is fitting, of
course, that the Naval Academy
should have the best crew in the
country and the best crew in the
world, but this has not always fol-
lowed. Navy crews in the past fire.
quently. have been outrowed by men
Of the landlYbber colleges.
From descriptions of the race in
Belgium the Navy crew-the worlds
champion crew, to give it the title
the middies earned-not only was a
beautifully co0rdinated machine, but
it was consummately we'll handled.
That coxswain has the stuff for an
admiral Of sorts. He knew his men
and their potentialities. He let that
crew Of comparative veterans take
the lead and hold it until just the
moment for the sprint. Then he
called for it and it came, sending
the Navy shell across the line half a
length ahead Of Britain's best and
four-ffths Of a second under the
previous record.
At the finish the men in the Eng
fish shell were in state of collapse,
though the distance was under the
Henley course, while the American
crew was still fresh enough to cheer
the losers. This is an interesting
point in view of the contention that
the long race rowed by Yale and
Harvard on the Connecticut Thames
is too great strain on the oarsmen.
But the same conditions seem to hold
at the finish of the shorter races as
hold in the long races. The losing
crew collapses, while the winning
crew always seems to have power in
reserve.
The Navy men have something to
rejoice over in the victory Of their
crew. Rowing, while it is not an
important factor in modern navies,
still is part Of the navy game. To
have the greatest crew in the world
is no small feather in a nautical
chapeau.

Commission and the Commission for
the Feeble Minded.
The country doctor has felt the
weight of a handicap hitherto al
most impossible to overcome. Prac-
ticing in areas remote from city or
town large enough to maintain hos
pital or laboratory, he has been at
a disadvantage in making many a
diagnosis, in watching the progress
of obscure disease and frequently in
setting fractured bones. Also has
he felt keenly the need Of consulta-
ton with one specialist or another.
Now it is possible that his situation
may be measurably relieved by an
extension of the consultation clinic
idea.

The "Boss's" Predica,nent

Chairman White Of the Demo-
cratic National Committee told the
Kenyon Investigators yesterday that
he didn't know anything about the
Cox campaign fund charges. He
passed the buck" along with good
deal OF nonchalance. He said he
had merely asked Governor Cox If
he was sure Of his facts. The latter
said he was, and the chairman rep
resented himself as answering: "You
are the boss and you run it,"
The Democratic National Commit
tee thus establishes an alibi. But
only at the cost Of putting on the
candidate the entire burden of max
ing good his reckless assertions.
Nothing has yet been adduced by
the candidate except some sunshine
literature circulated more or less
irresponsibly in the collection bu-
reau attached to the Republican
treasurer ONCE.
Governor Cox's charges went far
beyond the method Of collection
alleged to have been authorized by
the Republican National Committee.
They concerned the use Of the money
collected Ito purchase the Presi-
dency." Such an accusation is
hardly susceptible Of proof, or even
capable Of argument. Mr.. White is
canny in getting from under. But
what is "the boss'' going to do about
it? If he can furnish no more evil
dence than he has yet shown he will
soon cease to be "the boss" and the
Democratic campaign will go into
the hands of "a committee on guild
ance and receivership.
