Berton Braley's Poem
FOOLISH LAND.

(After re.reading Alice In Wonder
land and Davy and the Goblin.)
I've been on a journey with Davy
and Alice
To the land OF nonsensical fun.
I've seen the White Queen in her
iudricrous palace:
In the hat Of the Goblin I've
spun.
I've met with the whale that was
talking with Davy, 81
And thel Rabbit that Alice pur'
sued.
And the 'Mock-Turtle singing by
seas that were wavy.
And the Duchess = egregIously
rude!
I've slipped my cold tea with the
Dormouse and Halter,
I've met the White knight in the
wood,
I've heard Humpty.Dumpty's non
sensical chatter,
And found 1t exceedingly good.
With Davy I've visited Robinson
Crusoe,
And Sihbad the Sailor as well,
I've heard all their stories told
over anew, so
I've many gay stories to tell.
With Davy I've wandered. with
Alice I've Travelled
A whimsical, fancitul way,
I've seen miles Of magical nonsense
unraveled.
In land Of fantastical play:
I've been far afield from the world
and its malice,
Altar from its dust and It's CRIME
Once more I've been reading Of
Davy and Alice, .
And I've had a wonderful time!

WASHINGTON, D. o. Sept. 10
Representative Wells Goody-
koontz introduced in the House q
bill to abolish the Railroad Labor
Board by repeating Title 8 of the
Railroad Transportation Act Of
1920 creating It. In speeches on
the floor Of the House and in a
letter mailed to the President on
July Gath, the West Virginia
member scored the Board as we'll
as the Interstate Commerce Com
mission, His attitude toward those
two official bodies Is, therefore,
well known. and the bill he has
offered proposing to do away with
the Labor Board is In entire har-
mony with his course in regard to
the Commission and the Board.
He charged the Commission with
delay and dereliction in coming to
the point Of making deduction In
freight rates, and declared that
when the reduction was finally
made 1t was inadequate, The
wage scale fixed by the Board, he
charged, was unjust, failing to
take into account the widely vary
ing cost of living in respective
railroad cehters. In his letter to
the President he took the side Of
the railroad employees.

GREETED. No doubt the police officers themselves
regret it most There is, however, no occasion for

are that the man killed was lawbreaker, serving
term in the state penitentiary for shooting an
other. He knew when he was escaping from that
institution that II discovered he was likely to be
shot by the guards; he broke the law the second
time when he made his escape. He broke 1t for
the third time when he resisted arrest by the local
police by running away after being warned not
to do So He knew the chance he was taking. He
took it and lost There is no occasion for sympathy
in the present case The law must be upheld, and
stern measures are at times necessary to that end

l am not very far removed from your little city, and while I have no, achieved any great pinnacle in thu climb to fame, I still am interested in it's growth and upbuilding, and i, is sadly from time to time that read of the passing of some familiar figure about the place whom I have known since first I could remember
 One by one their names are called
 and one by one they respond to the call of the Unknown from whence nc whisper has reached the living as to how they have fared, and there will come a time when the last of those whp pioneered it there will answer thtJ final summons, and the old place wll be left to the newcomers with fut the echoes of a yesterday.
 While so near, I am yet SO far from your little city, in that it is not in my plans to ever make a home there again, but I hope the time is soon at hand when I can enter for a time and in the balmy summer when the sweet scent of the pine mingles with the oak and wildfiowers, scrawl few lines now and then that may ap- pear in print that will breathe of the old time Flagstaff, when the wild grasses stood knee-high and wall of stately pines surrounded the town; when it was nothing uncommon for the thermometer to register anywhere from IF below to up in the twenties night after night; when snow fell to depth of two, three, and four feet at fall, and the Observatory hill was aglow with the radiance of huge camp fires as scores of the townfolk would toboggan down the steep incline; when the wealthy of the town knew not Phoenix, nor the Coast, but holed up for the winter with a barrel or two of eastern apples and goodly supply of pine knots for their fire places; when the townsfolk were not too busy to venture down to the depot to scan the passenger list of the old time evening train. These were the days the old pioneer recalls. These were the days when children marched through the snow at early morn to the village school, the site of the old light plant, and now. as I recall their names, every one, and picture their dead faces too, it is not without some degree of sadness that I follow their careers til now and know what I tried to guess then. Many a little romance that kindled, fickered and died out in those days of yore, only to again be kindled elsewhere, with some-
