(Robers Russell.)

They say that poetry is old;
that since the ancient times
man always has set down. his
keen emotions writ in rhymes.
If he got much excited he'd
spell out a little verse an pos
slbly was saved, by this, from
enterin' a hearse. OF if a fell
ell was in love he'd write his
"ladie fair" about the color O.
her eyes, her cheek, her fiowin'
hair. An here is where that
pipe O. mine starts wonderin'
n bit. How can a Teller o. to-
day be sure that what he's writ
about the color o Her hair, or
possibly her cheeks, will fit Her
sweet complexion or Her hair
in, say, two weeks? In man.
ncr most miraculous the shade
o. hair will change; some folks,
we're told, are skillful when
this matter they arrange.
'Twould be, humiliatin' to write
thus to a brunette when in two

be no longer jet. Or if you
wrote about her cheeks. so del
icate in shade, they might be
altered in day-perhaps
she'd change her grade. But

a WISE INQUIRY.

Senator Cummins, Chairman of the
Senate Interstate Commerce Commits
sion believes that the rates on rail-
roads must not be increased. He be-
lieves. however, that there is ne
cessity that the net incomes of rail-
roads be made larger. He asserts that
there are two ways by which this re-
increase i'm the volume of traffic on the
roads without an increase in the cost
of maintenance and operation; second
by a reduction in the cost of main
tenance and operation without neces-
sarily increasing the volume of traffic.
To this end he promises to ask for a
real investigation of railroad opera
ton by his committee.
If. as promised by Senate Cummins.
the facts given the committee are
made pubic, the investigation should
be of the greatest interest and will.
possibly produce results. The general
public believes that there is much
mismanagement of the roads. OF
course this would tend to reduce the
net income.
The people believe that too high
salaries are paid the officers high
up" But the public does not believe
that the laborer or employe Of the
road, occupying a more humble posi-
ton, is paid too generously.
AS in the case of the much discussed
Connecticut company (Which would
not come within the Jurisdiction of
this committee) the man along the
street lays the whole blame to the lack
of efficiency in the higher places. AL
though this belief may be carried to
an extreme by those not familiar with
the facts. there may be also a deal of
truth in the contention that the fault
lies toward the top of the company,
not at the bottom.
Whether or not one believes in
| Investigations and whether or not
one is inclined to follow the reason
| ing given by Senator Cummins for his
advocacy of one of this sort IL is
certain that the public, by which the
railroads live and their officers thrive
should know why there seems to come
so often the cry that the railroads
are not paying expenses 1t this matter
makes the form suggested it will, in
deed, be CHARACTERISTICS. =

Gentlemen-The news of the paral-
ysis of Pablo Cassals' left hand which
will probably prevent him from ever
appearing in concert again, is a great
shock to all lovers of fine music.
This fact also brings to mind the
passing of many of our finer musicians
and musical organizations. It is re-
ported that Caruso will never be able
to appear in concert again. We all
keenly regret the loss from the con-
cert stage of -Heink as we
knew her, and to many lovers of
music in New Britain, the disbanding
of the Kneisel Quartet which at
tanned such wonderful perfection in
Chamber music is a keen regret.
There are, however, a few left

their art stands as a monument to
them and it would seem that each

JOSH TOWERS THE COUNTY AND
TALKS POLLYTICKS.
somewhere-in-Cecil County.


June 27, 1921.
In cours 1 couldn't leave Elkton
without goin in to see Yves and Win
Lewis, who are my most pertickler-
est trends in Elkton. Win is
holdin down his job as Clerk at the
usual salary of three thousand dol
lars, and he hes Yves as, his deputy
clerk at a salary of two thousand,
which is an offul reduction over
what Yves he'd bin gettin as sheriff,
tho it's heap more than amy other
deputy clerk ever was paid. But
this here county amt got no kick
comm. Experienced peepul like
Yves come high. Pears like he is
jest fitted to hold any or al the Of
fuses in this here county. Why In
thunder don't they eleckt him to all
the offuses to once. Jest make. him
Kaiser of Cecil County. Nobody in
this here county knows as mulch
about runnin the offuses as Yves.
He's he'd most evry offus in the
county, and sum of them three or
four times. My memory amt so
good as plenty of others, but l kin
reckleckt Yves comm over here from
Pennsylvania (the place where pol
lytishuns are born, not made) way
back bout 1895. Jest little Teller,
not more than fifteen or sixteen
years old, and rite away it peared
like a pollytickle job jumped rite at
him. He went rite up to the Insane
Asylum at Cherry Hill and went to
work. He held that job nigh onter
five years, and he jest graduated
in time to take a job as deputy
sheriff fur Bill McAllister, which
same job he held under three other
sherifs; Biddle, Hager and Barnes.
In the meantime he he'd bin eleckted
sheriff along about 1909, and when
he got out of that offus he was
made register of voters fur several
years. Jest peared like the offuses
kept rite after him, and he couldn't
git away frum them. l don't know
what struck the peepul but back in
1915 they detected him when he
wanted the nommynashun for Clerk
of the Court, but I jest tel you Yves
showed them what good Dimmy,
crat he was fur when they detected
him at the primary, report says he
turned rite in and helped,-well, he
didn't exactly help to eleckt Doc
Mitchell, for Doc was detected, but
Yves noes, and I hev purity good
idee of how he helped. Oh, he's q

better pickins in the sherif's offus
than most amy other offus in the,
county. Well, bein as how he
couldn't succeed himself, ne decided
to run fer two offuses; deputy clerk
and deputy sheriff, and by grab, he
was eleckted to both. Amt he
lucky Teller? But he was in a
dickens of a way which one to take
til at last he found deputy clerk
paid the best, SO thar he is, rite in
that offus a writin up marriage IL
censes day after day, and directin
of them blushin young couples to
the Mormon preacher to git tied,
and a tellin of them how to keep
Their names out of the papers, and
DRAWN of his salary, which, while
menshuned last, is by no means
least. Rufe Rowland tells in his
lettur about how accomodatin he
hes bin, but kin tel you he amt
got nothin on Yves.
What makes me so durn mad is
that Yves didn't git to be Warden
down to the Penitentiary when War
den Leonard died. Did Yves want
it? In cours he did. Yves is alters
lookin out fer the high salaried
jobs, and he's willin to take any or
all of them. What this county
would ever hev dun without him is
more than kin tel. No Dimmycrat
ticket in this here county would
look like it wuz ofishul il it didn't

! ter on it. Somehow tother Teller
he'd more pull than Yves and we
therefore he'd the pleasure of havin
him rite in Cecil County runnin fer
sheriff, as usual. Bill says the pee
pull of this county will never feel at
home in Heaven il Yves amt thel
runnin fer sheriff, but I hev my
doubts about them needin one there
but reckon as how they will need
one in tother place.
