Berton BraIey's Poem
SOM EWHERES

/ wanna go somewheres, some
AWAY on a train or ship;
I been plannin' all my lie to 60
somewheres,
But I never got off for the trip
For 1 didn't have the cash
Or nv health it went to smash
Or / maybe lacked the nerve an
pluck,
Sol never got nowhere. no time.
An 1 guess I'm kinda out of
luck!
/ wanna go somewheres. some
time,
Some place that amt a bit like
home;
i been dreamin' all my life how 70
do it
But / never seemed to get to
roam;
For the landlord raised the rent
Or my little wad was spent
OR the place l had job shut
down,
So I never got nowheres, no time,
But stuck around my own home
town.
1 wanna go somewheres, some
time,
Like / see lots OF people do;
1 been tryin' all my life to go
somewheres
An l didn't hardly care where
to;
But there's always this an that
Keeps me right where am at,
So I'm stickin' where I've always
stuck
An, I'll never get nowheres. no
Cause I haven't got that kind of
luck!

The other day Fairmont received commenda-
ton for her clean streets, her careful automobile
drivers and her pure milk. The commentator
was given by one who has been away from the city
long enough to draw honest comparisons with
other places. 1t is pleasing to have these nice
things said about Fairmont. The city strives hard
to attain proper standards, and sets these stand
ards So hi Oh that it needs this kind of
ment in order to keep plugging ahead.

Non-union operators have been able to command
a considerable amount of public sympathy, since
the Ypeople are inclined believe that every man
has right to run his own affairs if they legti-
mate affairs to suit himself without interference
or threat but if the non-union operator wishes to
add immeasurably to his already overlooking cup
of difficulty, just let him attempt to skin the
public by putting profteering prices upon the coai

BEGINNING OF YUKON NAVIGATION.

The announcement along the Yukon that the
paddle wheels of the river steamer feet revolving
and freight and passengers moving down the
waterways still carries the thrill of the year
to the people who live in the Interior the Yukon
tributaries beyond the immediate vicinity of
4the Alaska Railway. Dawson papers reaching here
in the last mail bring the evidence of the thrill at
Dawson when the ice broke up and started down
toward the sea, and the renewal of it when it
ported that the river steamers had got away from
Lake Labarge for Dawson and Mayo.
If there is any record that Dawson people
keep with exactitude it is the hour and minute of
the spring breakup of the Yukon ice at that point
The record Dawson is interesting than at
other place on of the fact that it has been

THAT WITHDRAWAL OF INVITATION TO
MR. BRYAN.

- Chairman Ralph Welles heeler of the Committe
on Publicity of the Sixteenth International Sunda
School Convention which will convene at Kansas City
Missouri, June q, has sent to the press a statemen
concerning the controversy resulting from the with
drawal of the invitation William Jennings Brya
to speak at the convention, which he asks to hav
published in connection with announcement tina
the invitation had been renewed on account of tn
controversy and that Mr.. Bryan will probably spea
on the last day of the convention, June 81.
While the statement is too vouminous to print il
full the following excerpts from it contain it's sub
- The withdrawal of Mr. Brayns in
10 yitation came before he had definitely
cepted it, and, a result of changes in the
program policies, made necessary by the
merging OF the International Sunday School
Association and the Sunday School Council
into the International Sunday School Council
of Religious Education.
The situation which confronted the COM
mittee arose from statement made in THE
Christian Register" Unitarian paper pub
iished In Boston, that Mr. William Jen-
nings Bryan was chosen by the Program
Committee TO speak, but the Committees
report was rejected by the Executive Com
mittee. which would not approve his APP

statement sent to a Kansas City paper.
aroused considerable opposition to the sup
posed action of the Program Committee.
The Christian Register of Boston, without
the knowledge or authorization of the COM
mlttee, carried news paragraph and
editorial, both of which contained missate-
ments. IL said: William jennings Bryan was
chosen by the Program Committee to speak,
but Vie committees report rejected by
the Executive Committee" This is untrue
The matter has never been before the Execu-
tive Committee The Register also said:

also is untrue. These allegations at no time
were made against Mr. Bryan The Com

reordance with the policy of the new organ-
