Ripping Rhymes
BY WALT MASON
T~llriftlcss,

There's an ancient weary fellow |
working for me, doing chores: and
his life Is sad and yellow. and his
days and nights are bores. He Is
crippled and rheumatic, and he
plies a feeble hoof, and his home
Is in an attic where the rain falls
through the roof. I could weep
when l behold him; he'll be hope
less in his woes, till tho ~boneyard
sods enfold him. and he has his
long repose. And his youth was
gay and gilded and wildly spent
his wage, while the wise youth
wrought and builded for the years
of wintry age. Once this old man
was a master In tarde that he had
learned, but he blew his money
faster than the d~ing-donged stuff
was earned; and he made no wise
provision for the days of want and
dread: life was sunny and elysian
why should people look ahead?
Why put down the shining shill-
ing in a quantity Of brine. when a
sport could make a killing in the
haunts of cards and wine? Why
consider a tomorrow when today
is good enough? Going broke. a
my house he thinkers, and no hope
is In his soul. and he carries out
the clinkers, and he carries in the
coal. Nothing human can enchant
him, he Is dead to every thrill;
and some day the town will plant
sport could borrow on his watch
and kindred stuff. Now around
him in the boneyard on the hill.

his Importance to the Republican party
On the stump this year.
The popular primaries have cost a
great 55al of money. great deal of ef
fort and done nothing, except to reveal
that johnson is the leader of the left
wing of the Republican party. They
leave the nomination to be made in the
convention. and they leave the con
yention at sea. All the candidates look
about as they did before the first pri-
mary was held. It was plain then that
Wood was the leading candidate. but
that the politicians were against him,
and that he lacked the personality to
start a great popular movement to upset
the organization.
Doubt was expressed in this CORE
spondence as early as the changing OF
Woods managers from King to Cooper
o. Woods ability to play the Roosevelt.
That doubt has been fully justified by
developments. Wood is still today the
leading candidate, with the organiza
ton against him, and without popular
following enough to overcome the or
ganization.
SO far rs the nomination Is concerned
johnson remains where he was before
the primaries. tho last man whom the
Republicans would willingly nominate
He has confirmed his hold upon the Pro
gressivc wing Of the party and revealed
that that wing Is larger than was sup
posed.
Harding was at the outset n candidate
in the background. whom the machine
would like to nominated. but whom II
probably would not dare TO nominate
He is that today.
Lowden was from the first more
likely machine choice than Harding. Al

He is so today. but not any too likely.

BAVARIA REVOLVING
AGAINST PRUSSIA
All South Germany Supports
Clamor to Break Up

Geneva, May win the German
empire break up after all?
Ever since the war ended all the en-
ergy Of the kaiser's republican" sue
cessors has been concentrated on pre-
serving its political unity under Prus-
sian predominance.
To prevent the dismcmberment Of
Germany. which would reduce Prussia
to impotence and thereby definitely trus-
trate their secret plans of military re-
venge. the Berlin rulers have stopped
short at nothing. not even murder. Inc
Bavarian premier, Kurt Eisner, paid
with his life for his policy Of south Ger
man secession.
The separatist movement was stitted
in blood during the armistice. and Prus-
sian supremacy temporarily waxed even
more absolute than in the kaiser $ time.
But the revolutionary crisis in Ber-
lin has nightly revived southern as
prations toward independence. Once
more IL is Bavaria which is heading
the movement Of secession from Prus-
sia. though for reasons very different
/ from those that inspired Eisner and his
! followers.
Anti Socialist and Anti Semitic
This new menace to German unity is
far more serious than that which led to
the Socialist Eisner's assassination, and
the Berlin government is at its wits
end how to meet it. For this time Ba
varian separatism is championed, not
| by the industrial workers and their lead :
ers, but by the Clerical party chiefs and
the peasants. who are infinitely more
powerful. for Bavaria is an agricultural
country with deeply religious popu-
lation.
The south German separatiSt move e
ment of today is anti Socialist and anti =
semitic. The cabinet Of clericals and
peasant leaders. which was set up in
/ Munich after Kapp's coup in place Of
!. the former Socialist government. is still
in power. Within a week this new
cabinet has sent three notes to Berlin,
protesting against measures taken by
Ebert's ministers and openly threaten
ing that Bavaria will withdraw from the
empire If they are not revoked.
Munich Opposes Berlin
There can be scarcely any doubt that
the new Munich government wishes to
provoke q conflict with Berlin. leading
to a definite break One of its first
acts was to pass q law providing for
'the deportation of aliens from Ba-

enough, South Germany has become the
stronghold of German monar ,hism after
Kapp's coup, while Berlin is In continual
danger Of being captured by extreme
socialism.
OF course. monarchism In southern
Germany was always extremely demo-
cratic compared with kaiserlsm, but the
fact remains that even the Prussian
monarchists are now looking with hope
owe, to Bavaria and that many OF them
believe that the next best thing to q
restoration of the Hohenzollerns. would
be the return Of the Wittelsbachs and
their ultimate promotion to the imperial
throne.
At the present moment, a monarchist
res l,oration in Munich, which several
members of the new government un :
doubtedly secretly favor, must infallibly
precipitate Bavaria's separation from
the empire.
It is also certain that if Bavaria Sc
cedes the smaller south German states
will follow her lead. The attitude OF
the Wuertemberg government toward
Berlin is scarcely less aggressive than
that of the Munich cabinet.
