Poems and Songs Desired
"Llfe.Is But a Game Of Cards"

70 the Editor Of the Evening Public Ledger
Sir-Kindly print the poem whose hrst
lines are as follows; IT,,
This life Is but game OF CARDS. "hicn
mortals have TO learn;
Each shurrles. cuts and deals the pack, ana
each a trump doth turn
Philadelphia, August 8. 1922.
LIFE is BUT a GAME OF CARDS
r,fe Is but game Of cards which eacn
one has 10 learn
Each shuffles, cuts and deals pack ana
ea1 IN a trump does furn.
Some turn a high card at the top. while
others trrn a low:
Some hold a hand quite full OF trufnps. "hiie
others none can show
Som. shuttle with a practiced hand and pack
their cards with care.
So they may know when they are dealt "here
all the leaders are.
Thus fools are made the dupes Of rosues
and rogues each other cheat
But he Is very wise indeed who never meets
defeat.
In PLAYING, some will lead the ace. their
counting card to save;
Some play the deuce. and some the trey. ana
many play the knaHe;
Some play for money and some for run, ana
some for a worldly fame
And not until the games played out can
they count UP the gain.
When hearts are trumps some play for love;
then pleasure decks tho hour;
No thought OF sorrow checks our toy In rosy.
beauteous bower.
We dance and sing. sweet music MAKE, our
cards at random play.
And while tho heart romans on top our
games but a holiday.
When diamonds chance 20 crown the Top
then players stake their gold.
And heavy sums are won and lost by gam
blers young and old.
Intent on winning, each doth watch his cards
with eager eye.
So he may watch his netghbor's hand and
cheat him on the sly.
When clubs are trumps. look out for war on
ocean and on Land
For bloody deeds are often done when clubs
in the hand.
Then live. are staked instead OF gold, the
days are warm win greed
Across the broad Atlantic now. see. clubs
have got the lead.
And last Of all is when tho spade is turned
by hand Of Time.
And always finishes up the game in every
land and cline.
No matter how much a man may win or how
much a man may save.

Prohibitions Virtues

To the Editor Of the Evening Public Ledger:
Sir--This is in answer to letter in
your evening edition Of the 9th inst.
Prohibition has eliminated the corner
saloon to large extent. If not entirely,
and opahly they cannot sell intoxicating
drink. Consequently an ever present
temptation has been removed from the
youth of our country. If they get liquor
they get 1t at considerable trouble and
expense.
Prohibition has worked incalculable
good, giving to the wife wages that
formerly were diverted to the saloon,
thereby making thousands of homes
happier. Provision IS being made for
the revenue lost through this net. and
personally l am willing to pay my share
OF any reasonable taxation. The suf-
fcring and mistefy entailed by the open
traffic in liquors before this act went
into effect were appalling and any rea-
sonable man will acknowledge this to
be So
1t is this transition period, which
time will cure, that makes the trouble.
After period Of years. our youth will
not be familiar with the saloon or its
associat ations, and, therefore. will have
no desire for drinking. Since Adam,
man has trnnsgressed. doing the things
forbidden him to do and laying the
blame on some one else. So why blame
prohibition?

MRS. WARBURTON ANSWERS
FIRST VOTERS CLUB CRITICS
Fears misunderstanding Has Arisen
in Plan to Form Clubs

In defense Of plans to organize first
voters clubs among women throughout
the State and in answer to n criticism
Of such plans from the League of Wom-
en- Voters, Mrs. Barclay II. Warburton,
vice chairman of the Republican State
Committee, yesterday issued the fol-
lowing statement:
There seems to have arisen mis-
understanding in reference TO the First
voters Club, which !. is proposed to
form throughout the State. 1t is GER
tainly intended that women shall vote
n straight ticket after the primaries
have decided what that ticket shall be.
1t never was intended Or contemplated
that first voters shall not exercise their
right of selection as between any Re-
publican or Democratic candidate.
They must form their opinions as
to the suitable candidates and work for
their election at the primary. and sub
scquently ut the general election vote
for the candidate as selected Mt the
primary by the party of their choice.
''The Pennsylvania League Of
Women Voters is doing wonderful
educational work among the women
voters, but when woman has gradu-
atod from the course or instruction.,
whether her views incline toward the
Republican or Democratic Party. she
certainly should be free and qualified
to join any political club and to vote
as she pleases.
THE suggestion Of an award for or
ganizing a club was entirely foreign to
the statement made by the League of
Women Voters. The award is intended
as an incentive to encourage those who
have used their political independence
ut the prcliminaries.
The award is for effort in organ
ization and not to cripple the intclli-
gcncc Of any woman
