And the sun went down and the moon
climbed high.
From out of the summer sea,
And q man and . maid through nelds of
rye
stroilsd onward 20 happily.
Then the trumpets biared, and the guns
call reused
A nation to Erisiy war,
And the maid was left with the kline
which browsed
Ger the meadows near and far.
Now the moon looks down on . lonely
mound.
Away In distant cline.
And the night breeze. whispering softly

Hymns a sacrifice sublime.
And . woman walks In the meadows bare.
That border the restless sea.
And her hopes lie far beyond grief and

Where Joy IL eternally.

EVER THINK
OF THIS

There are fancier towns than our
little town, there are towns that are
bigger than this; and the people who
live in the smaller towns don't know
what excitement they miss. There
are things you see in the Weather
towns that you can't in town that's
small; and yet, up and down, there is
no other town like our own little town
after all. 1t may be the streets
through the town are not long, they're
not wide and maybe not straight, but
the neighbors you know in your own
little town all welcome a fellow-it's
great. In the glittering streets of the
glittering town. with its palace and
pavement and thrall, in the midst of
the throng you will frequently long
for your own little town, after all. If
you live and you work in our little
town, in spite Of the fact that it's
small, you'll find 1t fact that our
little town Is the best little town after
all.

For the love Of all that is sensible

States that we may show others who
ducked when Uncle Sam called for aid
that no matter how much money a
man may have, he isn't took good or
too great to peel off his coat and pitch
in when there's trouble ahead. Let's
show the world that there's something
more highly priced than money-and
that's patriotism and true manhood.
Let's make an example of this rich
and pampered do-nothing who has
tried to make Uncle Sam look foolish.
II the war was still In progress the
firing squad would be his just deserts.
But II there are few faint-hearts
who oppose this method, then let's

prison for the balance of his life and
forget to worry when the guard over

Missed. Not Mourned.

TT is now rumored that President Harding, like

ference Even the ordinary appreciate that
it might be rather embarrassing to have foreign at
fairs discussed in the Senate and at the Pan Amer
Building at the same time, at least until the
delegations got somewhat accmated to American
ways 1t may naturally be desired that they at least
get in mutual touch, fairly we'll acquainted and on
friendly basis, before someone on the Hill imbued
with patriotic hootch, discusses the same problems
they are considering.
The air is sure to be sufficiently surcharged
with rumors filed with smoke screens and ramihed
with electric currents to test the seadness Of
experience and common sense of the delegates. The
situation will not need any help in being difficult
and at times delicate 1t will be sufficiently full Of
much concern" and will reach enough Critical
points" without having them egged on by outside,
semiofficial agencies.
At best. however, there be an hiatus of only
about three weeks. In that time the conference can
get down to business. The regular session of Con-
enough to get a good start, before the Christmas
holidays, and if expectations realized, the con-
ference will have about reached conclusions when
the New Year breaks So it is that Congress now
talks of an adjournment early in November. All the
rest of US will miss them more than will the Presi-
dent and Secretary Hughes. The humor of situa-
ton does not always appeal to those in places of

Quit When Through.

~ NCE more coture is talked of in the Senate.
~ Several OF the younger Senators" the
who propose it and they not without sup
porters. They acknowledge higher obligation of
service than sitting around while two three, or a
half dozer of their fellow members undertake talk
ing to death some measure dstastefu to them. The
purpose of any cloture in the Senate would not be
to throttle legitimate debate. No advocates
this
1t would be simply to compel the right to bring
measures to a vote. The House chokes off debate.
1t has so large a membership that it would take
six weeks, if each took but hour in debate.
To meet this condition, its organization has
gone to the other extreme. AS a fact few members
important measures care to make
tended speech, but they should have the right, if
desired of going record inteligenty.
In the Senate there are but ninety-six members
and not fourth Of them of the oratorical in
clination or afflicted with the divine afflatus. AS
a fact not speech in which is delivered there,
changes vote. They for public consumption
only and not half-dozen members have occasion
to any measure to get rid of what is practically
a brief. With rare exceptions any of them can
fully cover his views any question in hour.
Some of them may not believe this, but readers of
the Record know it, while the debates frequently
but disputes
The Senate is always behind in its work. 1t is
thus largely because after those opposed to a
measure are through speaking, they refuse to quit.
The Herald believes in Senate debate. We recog-
nize the Senate as the body through which it is
possible to bring questions to public attention with
completeness that carries thorough understanding.
AS for the members themselves, they are usually
ready to vote soon measure comes from
committee. AS to themselves all that follows is
largely surplusage, but it of the utmost value to
the country in forming right public opinion Cloture
simply means that when this has been done, and the
reaction is known, vote should follow, and not
more talk.

creditor nation and there seems to be no way to
adjust this new relationship surely and securely
as through foreign investments.
Europe owes this country more than it can

Opposes Vaccination.

To the Editor. The Washington Herald:
At this season. when SO many
school children have to be inundated
on the altar OF blood-poisoning. vac
cination. II seems pertinent to ex-
press a few ideas in opposition TO
that abominable practice.
Both the Bible and figures are
supposed not TO lie. but one can Ap-
parently prove almost any religious
doctrine by the Bible, and almost
any medical doctrine by statistics.
Now on this occasion will not
bother you with either of these te-
dious, debatable and inconclusive
methods, but take the shortcut Of
instinct, or. as you might call 1t.
common sense.
Doctors invented the ingenious
method of forcing the poison into
the vital system OF everybody
through a wound. willy-nilly.
Now. when We consider that the
principal means Of effecting a cure
Of disease is to remove all obstacles
that are in front Of natures impulse
and activities, can anyone really be-
lieve that it is any aid to nature
to throw more obstacles in the way
in front OF her-that, which nature
is doing her utmost to throw out
all filth, we should throw more filth
in front of her movements, and the
nastiest and meanest filth. at that?
Internal cleanliness is almost the
only condition Of cure, and OF health
generally, as well as the only pro-
phy1actic. External cleanliness is
comparatively of little Importance.
But people generally emphasize ex-
ternal appearance so greatly that
they neglect the corruption within,
which does all the mischief.
do not believe that We should
have any civil law concerning meth
DDS OF healing the sick, any more
than concerning religion, and for
the same reason. and no law fore
ing people to poison themselves, for
any purpose whatever, no matter
what statistics" would teach: but
IL did. the first and probably the
only law / would have would be to
prohibit the introduction Of foreign
matter into the vital domain OF any
person. JAMES 2. BRIGGS,

Pilgrim Fathers Intolerant.

To the Editor. The Washington Herald:
II is all very well to attempt 20
split hairs between the Pilgrims
and the Puritans. but as Shakes
peare has said, what's in a name -
They both formed a single COM
munity with similar aims and re-
ligious views. In its suppression of
other religions. of matters theat-
rical and musical. the stern puri-
tanism of the Pilgrim Fathers dis
played its overweening intolerance.
The fact that with further en-
hghtment throughout the country,
New England subsequently made
great strides in art and music, does
not alter the fact, which under can
did scrutiny we are constrained to
admit, that the meritorious achieve
ments of the Pilgrims were consid-
erably overshadowed by the pre-
vailing intolerance manifested to-
wards differing views and things
progressive.
The truth is that the descendants
of the Pilgrims progressed in spite
of their forefathers.

Foreign Investments.

Is 1T wise or unwise, is it right wrong viewed
solely as what is best for the United States
that income from foreign investments should be
exempt from tax? On its face it looks unfair.
II Is discrimination in favor of foreign over domes-
tic investments. 1t would directly promote sending
money abroad instead of keeping it at home Is the
United States financially ready for this and would
the results be to the interest of our people as a
whole, not to the rich, but to all classes?
80 There is no lack of money in this country The
banks full of it and there is an oversupply of
gold. If the domestic investment market demanded
it, certainly it would respond. AS it is, surplus in
come, instead of going into industrial or develop
rnent investment, avoids taxation though tax-free,
low interest rate securities, State and municipal
Would it be better if in the future it went abroad?
Great Brtain's wealth and financial power, as
well as its industrial and maritime growth are
based largely upon tax-free foreign investments
Its money has gone all over the world and trade
has followed its development loans and investments
Every foreign investment made by citizens of the
United States would in the same way, bring trade
to the United States Whether in mines, railroads,
industries, timber what not, the machinery, foods
and supplies incident to them, would come from
here by preference. The hurdle too high to vault
which is now in front of American trade is lack of
stability of foreign credits American investments
would be backed by American credit.
