THE OLD MAN OF THE MOUNTAIN
Old Mount Mansfield now Is rosine

For the day is nearly done
And his face that has beamed for ages
Is lightened by the setting sun.
l can see his cyelids closing
! can see his furrowed brow.
And his lips that have stood mistaken
Through the ages-even now.
Through so many weary winters
Clothed is he so deep in snow.
That it's even unto summer
Ere he sees the sunsets glow.
Too wearied by his lengthy vigil
Ger the hills and wales below,
Cross the waters of ST. Lawrence
Into which, tho Great Lakes flow.

TALK OF PRES, WILSON
 FOR A THIRD TERM
Ex-SenatOr J. Hamilton Lewis Says "Peace or War; Is the Issue

Wichita, Kan, April 26.-The coun- try must be prepared to see the Dem- ocratic convention at San Francisco nominate President Wilton for third term, J. Hamilton Lewis, former sen ator from Illinois, told Kansas Demo- crats, gathered here in state conven- tion tonight.
 'The country must be ready" he said, ito see the convention at San Francisco put Wilson as it's candidate before the nation as protest against the treaty of peace being tortured into a pact of revenge on nations as H. cense of murder of men and command for raids and invasions upon oppress- ed and suffering peoples"
 The political issue of 1920 is to be peace or war;" he said, ''the league for world peace or open license for world war. The candidates must be those who stand square on the issue. y
 If the Democrats are to oppose the league, he suggested as suitable can didates William Randolph Hearst from the East or Senator James A. Reed from the West.
 The faults of the present admins tration, he said, have been against it. self President Wilson has refused to create party administration, he de- clared, and has kept Republicans in office. Now, he said, thc3e "captains of political job in0ustry reward Will sons generosity by ingratitude of conduct and insults of slander."

HAVE YOU PAID YOUR POLL TAXI
Women of Arkansas are Being Urged
 To Pay Poll Taxes.

The time for the payment of poll tax has arrived. Every dollar paid in poll taxes goes into the school fund 175,000 women should pay poll tax this year as that number are eligible as electors. Payment of poll taxes by this many women means $175,O00 more in the school fund, and opening of at least half of the public schools now closed because of the lack of funds to employ teachers.
 The Federal Suffrage Amendments lacks only one state on it's ratification. That one will undoubtedly be gained in the next few weeks. This will give all women with same qualifications as men the right to vote for the Presl- dent of the United States.
 A woman who does not pay her poll tax is not only tax dodger! she is indifferent to her duties as a good citi- zen and less than indifferent to ed'uca- tion, which is furthered by her $10O.
 According to MT. Arbuckle's decision woman may yet pay poll tax, though she failed to assess 1t. The law reads that poll tax can be paid at any time between the first Monday in January and Saturday next proceeding the first Monday in July. The tax books are now open. There never was such an important year politically.
