well.
Measures which less than five years ago were
hailed marked advances in legislation being
sent 10 the discard by the legislatures and other
measures being enacted
To the average man IL appears though the
business OF law making is being very much over
The public has not become even partially
familiar with bit OF legislation until Il IS repeal

radical changes To be made in the methods OF doing
business.
Most citizens would probably be just a we'll sat

found 10 be impractical and either repealed Or
permitted 10 remain the statutes without any at

What the public wants Is laws but en-

THE PASSING OF STREET MUSIC
By JAMES ]. MONTAGUE

Because Of Improved Musical
Taste" street pianos and organs are
disappearing from the cities.
No more, when shadows gather
round
The dingy twilight street.
We hear the shuffling, rhythmic
sound
Of little dancing feet.
No more a small Pavlowa seeks
To balance on her toes
The while a barrel organ squeaks,
That's Where My Money Goes "
For we are cultured now. YOU know.
Our taste has grown severe,
And music that is coarse and low
Onends the Public Ear.
The street piano has no charm
Like GalH-Curci has:
It does not startle and alarm
Its audience like jazz,
But when, as closed the summer
day,
Its strident notes would soar.
Each dirty street and alleyway
Became a QdiCluE -looI.
About * Joyous thron IS would flock,
Collected by its lure.
And every kid along the block
Forgot that he was poor.
/ know there is no music in
The rude. discordant noise,
Despite its magic power to win
The hearts of girls and boys.
I I know that those on whom a tune
Falls a a cduel blow.
/ Will never care mite how soon
The music grinders 80.
But though no soul-stuff they ex-

With their discordant strings.

JUST FOLKS
THE THINGS THAT MATTER.
BY EDGAR a. GUEST

THE THINGS THAT NATTER.
When a fellows gettin old
An his tale is mostly told,
When he knows life has in store
At the best a few years more.
An it's settled in his mind
That he isn't goin' to find
Any mine of gold. or claim
Special notices from fame.
Then he gets in closer touch
With the things that matter much.
Youth looks ever far away
To some better. other day
That is always goin' TO be.
When he'll gain the victory;
Then hes always got his eyes
on some glittering future prize
Which he fancies he may win
spite of all his blunderin.'
Tellin all along the way
He'll do something big some day.
But the champions are few
An the great deeds hard TO do.
An the dreamers by an by
See things with a clearer eye
An discover not TO all
can the pomp Of glory fall;
Most of Us must settle down
Findin' peace without renown,
Glad that we can come an go
Loved by those God let's Us know.
When a fellows gettin' old
An his tale is mostly told,
An the fame he's dreamed about
From his life has faded out,
Then he finds that friends are NOR
Than the gold he'd hungered for,
An he'd rather spend his hours
with his children an his flowers
An his neighbors. for in such
Is the peace which matters much.
