A CRY TO ARMS

By Henry Timrod. Ho! woodsmen of the mountain side!
 Ho! dwellers in the vales! Ho ye that by the chafing tide
 Have roughened in the gales! Leave barn and byre, leave kin and cot Lay by the bloodless spade; Let desk, and case, and counters rot
 And burn your books of trade! The despot roves your fairest lands
 And till he flies. or fears. Your fields must grow but armed
 bands
 Your sheaves be sheaves of snears Give up to mildew and to rust
 The useless tools of gain And feed your country's sacred dust
 With floods of crimson rain! Come with the weapons at your call--
 With musket, pike. or knife He wields the deadliest blade of all
 Who lightest holds his life The arm that drives its unbought blows With all patriots scorn, Might brain tyrant with rose,
 Or stab him with 8 thorn! Does any falter? Let him turn
 To some brave maiden's eyes, And catch the holy fires that burn
 In those sublunar skies. Oh' could you like your women feel
 And in their spirit march. A day might see your lines of steel
 Beneath the victor's arch! What hope, o God. would not grow
 warm
 When thoughts like these give cheer7 The lily calmly braves the storm
 And shall the palm-tree fear? No! rather let its branches court
 The blast that sweeps the plain; And from the lily's regal port
 Learn how to breast the rain. He. woodsmen of the mountain sidel Ho dweliers in the wales. Ho ye that by the roaring tide,
 Have roughened in the gales. Come. flockihg gaily to the fight
 From forest, hill and 4lake We battle for our countryD right
 And for the lily's sake!

Immigration Laws
 Keep Out a War Hero

IMEMETRlUS RO BOS, twice lO wounded while fighting as corporal in the United States army, could not pass the literacy test at Ellis Island and was denied readmis- sion into America. It seems that he could have rc-entered this country had he returned within six months after being discharged overseas.
 The criminal from Europe, the bol- shevik agitator and other disturbers of the public peace have no difficulty in passing the literacy test. They are by far the most undesirable of all the undesirable ones who come to Amer ica. Many an immigrant who would have made a good citizen has been re- jected because he could not read or write, while dangerous aliens have been admitted.
 A distinction of this kind is not just. In studying the immigration problem some way should be devised to separ- ate the sheep from the goats. We can absorb thrifty, industrious for eigners, even if. their education has been neglected, but the trouble-mak- CTS are not wanted. The most dan gerous of all criminals is the edu- cated criminal.

"One way of telling whether q GUS toner is wearing a shoe that does not fit" said Dave Rich, lis to observe the expression when he or she enters to buy another pair.
 'If the expression is one of being peeved, fretted or nervous, you will notice a counter one of great relief when the shoe is taken off the foot. Sometimes audible expression is given to the better state of-feeling

The girl insisted on shoes that were too sma... for her, but, after I had reasoned with her for some time, I prevailed on her to take the shoe that really fitted and will keep her foot from developing maiforma tion.

A POET OF THE LAND. The horny-handed farmer may not call
 himself poet, If there is beauty iA his soul perchance
 he doesn't know it. The splendor of the sunshine and the
 sky's eternal blue May be to him but common things, of
 every man the due And he may never sing to greet the
 glory of the dawn, The wild blooms that betoken spring, the
 dew upon the lawn, But he's a useful citizen who doesn t

Unfair Attack on
 President Roosevelt

TfSHE American people will not ap-
 Il prove the bitter attack of Sen ator Thomas of Colorado, on the mem ory of President Roosevelt for taking over the Panama canal strip. It was uncalled for, unjust and uncharitable. Senator Thomas might as well have dug down into history and reviled our forefathers for wrestling the continent from the Indians or for taking part of Mexico.
 Senator Kellogg will be applauded for rising to the defense of the late President. In the course of that de- fense he declared that not only Roose- welt, but such men as Elihu Root and John Hay, had hand in taking over the canal strip and he recalled that

Hon. Boise Penrose,
 Czar of His Party

6THE Hon. Boise Penrose returned
 H to Washington, after long ab- sence, in style befitting the "su- preme boss" He journeyed to the capital in his private car, attended by a large retinue; was taken to one of Washington's most fashionable hotels and installed in a luxurious suite of ! IA rooms, where his wants are supplied by obsequious Jap servants.
 Although he has not yet recovered from his illness, Senator Penrose plans to take an active part in political af- fairs. Some of his recent interviews indicate that he is not worrying him self particularly about what goes on at Marion. Brother Penrose doubtless feels that what he wishes to be done, will be done, and there is an end of it.
 The latter-day idealism has no ap- peal for the Pennsylvania senator. He is, and ever wassa practical man. Old fashioned politics is good enough for him, the kind of politics for which Pennsylvania is famous--or infamous
 according to the point of view.
 The activities of Senator Penrose will be followed with keen interest by his colleagues in Washington, espe- cially his democratic colleagues. Be- fore the next presidential election ar rives, they may find themselves well supplied with campaign thunder.

have rebuilt the concrete walls on
the new Pixies Creek bridge over
the Lincoln Highway, near Newark.
The walls had sprung two and a
half inches on each side Of the

due to water and mud. The weak
ening Of the walls showed a break
ing in the binder. As the county had
not accepted the structure, the con-
tractors were notified and made the
repairs.

More than 60 life insurance men
sat down together. with their presi-

on arrangements comprised Arthur
A. Wilmot. James A. Fulton, Mr.
Fullerton. and Frank L. Gates
Mr.. Fullerton was introducer as
tho first speaker by President Ely.
He stressed the need OF character
and reputation In business rather
than money or influence and won
a round Of hearty applause by de-
claring he always had tried to live
like a gentleman, expected to con-
tinue so doing and was confident he
would die like one"
Mr.. Trapnell. who followed. took
up Mr.. Fullerton's theme and en-
larged upon it.

can play in the new day before us,
and can assist in putting the empha-
sis on peace by thinking it, talking
It and by planning IT,"
Mr.. Wilmot, OF the committee on
