THEMES.
Annie l.. Michener.

I'm not like Edgar Guest,
Who writes on any theme,

And find one III a dream.
The fairies dance around
And toss me one bctimes.
! mark the mirthful sound,
And change It into rhymes.
] hear a songhird gaily
Singing III yonder tree;
And vet ] cannot daily
Sing a song fer thee.
I'm Just n wee bit Jealous
OF this same Edgar Guest:
And vet | I'M quite ms jealous
And aim TO DO my beat
] sec a snowflake falling.
But ! do not take my pen.
The Muse may not be calling
To me Just there and then
She has so many others
To charm, To cheer. 10 gtnde;
Poet sisters and brothers,

The forests would be lonely
Oh, hear me Edgar Gucstl

The ones that sang the best

The Senatorial Market.

Very interesting was tho testimony oi
Ex-Governor Chase ). Osborne of Mlchi-
gan before the Jury IN the Federal court
at Grand Rapids, that IS trying Senator
/ Newberry and lot of his conierces in the
Senator-buving business for violating
the Federal law in their lavish cxpcndi-
tureS Ex-Governor Osborne was dc
sirous OF being candidate for the Re
publican nomination for senator, but was
informed by one of the political brokers
that II would cost HIM about Sl50,Oo0
He decided the luxury was too expensive
and suppressed his inclinatIons. It
does not appear. however, he was con-
cerned in any manner about the villainy
of the situation. but only that the price
was beyond his means
From the testimony of witnesses in
the trial thus far, the Newberry expendi-
lures were conducted on the most ex-
travagant lines There were agents galore
engaged in the work, in the primary con-
test and the general election campaign.
Testimony has been produced to show
that these expenditures approximated
million dollars
What a revelation Of horrible election
debauchery. II shows that the change to
the election of United States Senators by
the votes of the people, instead of by State
Legislatures, did not remove the taint of
bribery. In Michigan 1t only resulted in
making the debauchery greater than ever.

RIPPLING RHYMES.
by Walt Mason.
IN KANSAS.

In Kansas, when Old Booze went
out, there was some wailing round
about. Our fathers" some folks
would complain, they fought for
liberty in vain; the boon for which
they shed their blood is on the
blink, it's name is Mud" +" A little
while they raised their fuss. and
never missed a chance to cuss the
tyranny that banished booze. and
queered the rights men hate to
lose. But soon they found that
they were bores; men wearied of
their useless roars. And so they
talked of other themes, and in their
trance dreamed saner dreams. and
IN a little while, gadzocAs, they
learned to like the habbling brooks.
from which they need not blow the
foam, which sent them sober to
their home. And no one thought,
or talked of booze, of gaudy jags or
princely stews. And those who
worried days and nights because of
our denatured rights, who wildly
CRASHED rebellious jaws, now yelled
for still more drastic laws. Thus
will 1t be the country Ger. when
time has healed the spirits sore of
dead game sports who now complain
because their only drink is rain.

NORTH DAKOTA PAYS THE
BILL.

From the published reports OF
conditions in North Dakota it ap-
pears that taxes have increased
in the neighborhood of 300 PEI
cent in the past two years OF
Non-Partisan League rule.
The league program of social
ism and state ownership is now
costing the people heavily. A
farmer gets no more for his pro-
duce than farmers in adjoining
states and a loaf of bread or a
meal costs just as much in North
Dakota as elsewhere.
A costly political machine has
been built up at the expense Of
taxpayers, and investors steer
clear of North Dakota where an
autocratic rule in the interest of
a privileged few endangers the
safety of all kinds of invest
mentS. The league is making %
determined fight to extend it's in
fluence in-other states at coming
elections s.-Lawton News.

TRUCKS AND GOOD ROADS

The week of May l7-22 (this
week has been set ASIDE as Inc
" ship-by-truck- -good-roads' week
Througout the nation, every
community will pay particular
attention to the rapidly ncreaS-
ing "ship-by-truck y movement
and study the particular needs OF
respective communities in regard
to good roads. says the Enid
News.
Good roads campaigns have
been popular for many years. In
tcrest in these movements has
never Jagged because the issue
means dollars and cents to every
class Of business. City, county,
state and national campaigns are
being successfully waged, with
HE result that hard surfaced
road system, or rather, year
around" systems of highways are
the result. States and counties
are voting enormous sums OF mo-
ney to pave the country roads.
And it will not be many years
until every county seat in the
agricultural states of the union
will be connected with pavement.
lnseparably connected with
good roads is the question of
transportation. The motor trans
port has proven itself to be eco
nomical and the efficient method
for short hauls. The railroad is
as the long arm Of com
nerce and in an equal degree the
truck is TO be regarded as the
fingers reaching out from the
commercial center to every sec
tion Of the rural districts.
Regarding good roads and the
campaign of this week B. NJ
Baruch, chairman of the old war
industries board, and one of the
leading industrial figures in the
country today has to say on this
question in the Saturday Evening
