The Woods
THE PLAYGROUND.

The city street, the city street,
Lies heavy on the town
An awful avenue of heat,
Whose rays of yellow summer beat
Upon the stones Of brown.
Where little children's weary feet
Creep slowly up and down.
The houses rise, the houses rise,
Beside the thoroughfare;
Their windows look with bloodshot
eyes
Ger huddIed roofs to smoky skies,
And find no promise there;
And chlldhOOd'S voice of laughter dies
In pestilential air.
The city great, the city great
1t is so big a thing!
From city gate TO city gate,
From sOmber dawn to even late.
1t throbs with marketing;
It has no moment it may wait
To hear the children sing.
The little ones, the little ones,
The buds that never bloom,
(While underneath the breathless suns
The stream Of life forever runs
Through arteries Of glOom),
Look on your stately Parthenons
And find so little room!
There is n street, another street.
Beyond the city's wall,
Beyond the corridors of heat,
Where waters pure and waters sweet
In crystal cadence fall
And to the chIldren's tiny feet
Their liquid measures CALI
Its tenements, its tenements,
Are neither grim nor gray;
And from each verdant eminence
Their crimson-throated residents
Pour music to the day,
Their choristing inhabitants
Sing loud q roundelay.
o fairy shores, o merry shores,
Away from slime and sin -
With leafy roofs and grassy floors,
Where robin nests and swallow scars
When summer days begin
| Oh, let us open wide the doors
And ask the children in!

The open saloon has been generally
condemned by the American people as
menace to society and the well
being of the people. and its restora-
ton should not be tolerated. The
validity of the eighteenth amendment
to the Constitution having been sus-
tanned by the Supreme Court. any law

However. the democratic party
pledges its utmost endeavors to pre-
vent this new grant of federal power
from being exercised in such manner
as to become oppressive or deprive
the people of that individual liberty
which it was the purpose of the union
of states to guarantee and preserve
through all time. The Volstead act
vetoed by a democratic President. and
passed over his veto by a republican
Congress, is an extreme exercise of
the powers granted by the eighteenth
amendment, and it should be so
amended in strict conformity with the
spirit and purpose of the Constitu
