Joe Levy. Duke OF Essex Street,
proved that votes as well as verses
we're on his side when the ballots were
counted yesterday in the election Of a
Mayor OF Second Avenue" The Duke
was reelected By G. votes 20 90. Josef
Madinski, the rival candidate, cried
fraud and dcmsnded a recount. which
proved 20 the satisfaction OF all the
Dukes" retainers that it was rcgu-
lar election.
They struck up the Dukes" cam
paign song and marched out with him
10 a restaurant 20 celebrate the victory.
The campaign song goes ~ follows:
TaAe me- n~ver ont of Essex
To the country With the trees
where there alnt no pleasant noise
on Earbage-acenfcd breeze,
Where ~ always awful lonesome
And tho peoples amt my sort,
Nothing rural can beguiie ne
From the Essex Market Court.
From this IL will be seen that most
OF the poets as well as the politicians
were on the Dukes side. The Duke ism,
like the man that was willing 20 let
anybody occupy the throne so long a.
he might write a nations songs. The
Duke wasn't taking any chances on this
election. Feeling had been too bitter
ever since he omitted 20 take Josef
MadinsM and Mrs. Madinski home IN
his car when they went 20 call on him
at Long Beach. He Only overlooked one
poet.
Not Quite So Good.
Josef got him and he turned out this
for Josef:
Shall Madinsk lore the vote
Shall Madlnaki lose the vote :
There are u lot 81 JoHeis men 20
Get Joe Lesys goat
In the Dukes judgment that's pretty
low class poetry. Some Of the Duke
poets went even further end called D;

NEEDS OF "YouNG AMERICA
European Critic Thinks That Youth
of Great Republic Suffers From
Too Mich Freedom.

George 81 atayars. famous philosn
pher and w4iter. 'r a. aI,ieie written
especially in the Forum or "AInerica's
Young Radicals" says:
II have made q severe effort to dis
cover as well as I may from a dis
lance what these rebels want. I see
what they are against-they are
against everything-but what are they
for? ! have not been able to discover
it. This may be due to my lack of pn-
derstanding or to their incapacity to
xpress themselves clearly, for the
,tyle is something appalling. But PEI
maps this scandalous failure in exp!
sion, when expression is what tl.'A
earn for and demand at all COSTS
may be symptom of something deep
er; Of a radical mistake they have
rlade in the direction Of their efforts
and aspirations They think they need
more freedom, more room, q chance to
be more spontaneous. l suspect that
they have had too much freedom, too
much empty space, too much practice
In being spontaneous when there was
nothing in them to bubble out. Their
style is a sign of this; it is not merely
that they have no mastery of the Eng
fish language as hitherto spoken, no
clear sense of the value of words, and
no simplicity; that they are without
the vocabulary or the idiom of cult
waited people. No, it is not
more freedom that young America
needs in order to be happy; it needs
more discipline"

ALL HAD ORIGIN IN EAST
First Designed by Mesopo-
tamian Builders.

The blue-domed mosque Of the Imam
Shahzada Husain, in Kazvin, carries
on a tradition that extends back to
the days Of the Sassanid sultans of
Persia, back even to the remoter
times Of Assyria, according to a writer
in Asia Magazine. The cupola and the
ogive, distinctive marks of Moslem
architecture, be it in Egypt or India
or Turkey, had their origin in Mesopo-
tamia, where wood for rafters and
lintels has always been scarce and
construction has been chiefly In brick
The minarets that rise gracefully
above every Mahommedan city have
been reflected through time from the
Chaldean observatories and the Tower
Of Babel The rich ornamentation OF
enameled tiles on dome and walls and
the overlap Of brilliant metals that
marks the lofty cupolas of many
mosques, are also heritages from an
tiQuity. The columns of mosque in
teriors are derived from classic
Greece and Rome. The designs worked
in tiles OF In stucco may In many
cases be traced back to ancient
models, and they are found, repeated
over and over again, in the pottery,
the textiles the carpets Of the East.
The wars Of the Crescent carried this
architecture into the West through
Spain and Byzantium; into the East
through India. Its influence may be
traced In buildings the world over.

Of the property which accrues to a

40TEL MEN NOT ALL BAD
Wayne 3. Wheeler Tells Good Story
TO Prove the Truth Of Asser-
ton He Makes.

Wayne B. Wheeler of the Anti-Sa,
loon league said In San Francisco
II think were unjust to hotel men
as a rule. We are too ready to ae-
cuse them Of robbery. AS a matter
Of fact they are very fine lot.
Il once knew an engineer who waa
ira ,eling in Nevada. He had 4 good
deal of money with him, and one night
he put up at a very primitive hotel
In the wilds. The landlord OF this
hotel looked like a brigand. and the
engineer could hardly sleep for fear.
Nothing. however, happened, and
the next morning he set off with re-
lievea heart. The mountain trail was
lonely one, and on toward noon, in
Wild and desolate spot, three des-
peradoes fell on him, emptied his va
Use and pockets, and made off.
THE engineer was convinced thst
the landlord was at the bottom of this
holdup. Accordingly he turned back
to notify the authorities. But he had
only gone a mile or so when he met
a mounted messenger, who handed him
small packet. Pinned to the packet
was a note from the villeinous land
lord that said:
az inclose your pocketbook Contain
Ing $3.50, which you left under your
pillow last night. Please send re

SAW STEAMBOAT AS ENEMY
Sailors and Fishermen Alike Dreaded
Power of Which They Had No

When Fulton's steamboat, the Cler.
mont made her maiden trip on the
Hudson river in 1907, it frightened
more persons than it interested Fish.
srmen and small boatmen to a man
believed it to be some horrible mon
ster, and headed for shore as fast az
they could go, and once on land ran
at top speed into woods and fields
20 hide. Crews of larger sailing ships
were no better, and many schooner
was deserted and left to DRIFT down
stream as the snorting, clanking
smoke-tossing Clermont appeared.
Later 1t was made known along the
river what the thing was. and there
at once arose great wave Of hate
lnstigated by boatmen who saw theii
business ruined, and by fishermen who
we're sure the noise Of the steamboat
would drive the fish to sea- Added t.
them were hundreds Of religious "a
aatics who declared the boat was the
work of the devil and a flying In the
face Of God" So acute did this dis
ike grow that attempt after attempt
WIS made by large sailing ships to
run the Clermont down. Tho stats
