More Truth
Than Poetry
THE ONLY PLACE TO AVOID 'EM.
BY JAMES ]. MONTAGUE

THE ONLY PLACE TO AVOID EN-.
When Messrs. Carpenter and Demp-
sey mingle
I'd like TO have seat beside the
ring.
And fee my heart leap up and pulses
Jingle,
At every waHop, punch and jab
and swing.
But I'll not see these fisticuff deba-
tors
Decide the championship with belt
and smash.
Because I fear the ticket spectators
Will sell the seats TO people with
more cash.
Ia Ike to see the fine dramatic act
ion.
And listen to the pleasing flow Of
wit
That makes a certain (but unnamed)
attraction
Now on the boards most terrific
hit
But must go to second rate
theATers,
Because I've found. for this es-
pecial show.
The ehterprisng ticket spectators
Are selling seats at fifty bucks
throw.
Year after year. when baseball sea
sons ended
I've hoped, but hoped in vain. 10
realize
My dream to see the players who
contended
In competition for the final prize.
But / have never seen these gladia-
tors.
And not a game 7 ever hope 10 see.
Because the crafty ticket spectators
still sell the seats 10 richer men
than me.
I still have one remaining hope, how
ever
At some q hope far distsnD fu-
ture date
when my relations with this world I
sever,
mean to enter through the pearly
gate.
I hope TO meet St. Peter at the
wicket
And. on my application for chair.
I think I'm fairly sure 10 get my
ticket
Because the spectators won't be

THE SILENT MAN.

THE SILENT MAN.
We never guessed the woes he had.
Nor how he suffered when alone,
That now and then his heart was
sad
To very few was ever known:
He'd hear us tell our tales of care
And utter words of kindly cheer.
Yet Of the griefs he'd had to bear
No word from him we'd ever heard
That he had grieved and he had
wept
To US it never once occurred;
Unto himself his hurts he kept,
Though many a sympathetic word
lie spoke to us to soothe our woe;
He'd let US tell our sorrows
through.
Yet very seldom did he show
That he was deep in trouble. too.
BY chance we learned behind his
smile
And patient way we'd grown to
love
Despair was gnawing all the while;
A grief he'd made no mention Of
Was his 10 carry and his heart
Wore deeper scars than we had
known.
And still as one who plays a part
He bravely bore his cross alone.

THE FARMER AND THE TARIFF.

Congress may legissts untl every congressman

labor and farmers. that reach the heavenly

now have 10 deal have been readjusted our sit
walton Is not going to be materially changed.
Take the American farmer for concrete case.
We have an internal tarin on grain the biggest
tariff laid upon grain by the American gov
eminent. and Il hurts all the way along the line
from grain grower to consumer. It is the railroad
rate from the wheat country OF the middle
to the Atlantic seaboard.
Under this rate. II costs today SO cents to ship
q bushel Of wheat from Minneapolis to New York.
1T the time it costs only IL cents busheI
to ship the amount of wheat from Argentina
10 New York That amounts to a tariff OF 90 cents
a bushel against the American wheat grower
Even If congress should enact the provision OF
the emergency tariff bill establishing import
duty of 40 cents a bushel wheat. more than half
the apparent protection would be wiped out by
transportation charges alone. This is merely one OF
the situations emphasizing the necessity OF revi-
son OF existing railroad rates.
Any reduction in railroad rates on wheat from
the middle the Will help the
exactly much corresponding import tariff.
And at the same time it will help the railroads by
cording to view OF the situation.
IF existing rates are continued" says one cab
ret official who has studied the situation carefully,
I'VE may expect the whole Atlantic seaboard to be
fed with Argentine wheat and all demand
American wheat for export TO be killed"

Meanwhile. Arthur Griffith, chief of

consult with Eamonn De Valera, the
Irish republican leader. Mr.. Griffith
was accompanied by Michael Collins,
George Gaven Duffey and Robert c.

This visit to Dublin is understood
to be a result of discussions during

members of the British cabinet. which
