The Lonely One

l walk through the streets of the
village, and list to the voice of the
throng; the farmer is talking of
tillage and proves that the weather
is wrong. The merchant is talk
ing OF taxes which rob him of all
he can gain, and bitter and wrath
ful he wakes; it's grievious to hear
him complain. The statesman is
talking of dangers which threaten
our lives and our rolls; to safety
we're bound to be strangers, until
he wins out at the polls. And
every ones talk is devoted to him
and his little concerns; no voice in
the clamor is noted discoursing of
Shelley or Burns. I long for an
earnest discussion, when tired, at
the close of the day, of Tolstoi, the
laundering Russian, of Shakespeare
or Bertha M. Clay. I'm tired of the
things that are sordid. of men who
get rich in a night; I'd like to hear
merit accorded to Milton and Harold
Bell Wright. There's no one to
talk of the sages, of Hugo and A.
Conan Doyle; but men, in their
tatuous RACES, are talking of wells
shooting oil. The lawyer is spiel
ing OF leases the copper is drooling
of crooks, the uncle is cussing his
nieces, but no one is speaking of
books. And so l am lonely and
friendlesS, I'm bored by the twaddle
i hear; the talk of the people is
endless, but it is a grief to the ear.

PLANS TO MAKE CHANGE
IN DEPARTMENT WORK

Forecasting the separation OF nom
military activities Of the War De-
partment from the purely military
activities in the reorganization of
the government establishment, ad-
ministration officials have recon-
mended to the chairmen of the House
and Senate appropriations committees
that separate appropriation bill be
drafted for the non military work
This new appropriation bill would
cover such operations as the Missis-
sippi barge line. the Panama canal
and improvements to the rivers and
harbors, all of which are now cared
for in the War Department supply
bill.
Proponents of the new system are
of the opinion that 1t would provide
more business-like way of appro-
priating funds, and would simplify
the accounting of the money provided
for various governmental functions
The present arrangement is unfair
1t is pointed out, in that funds for
non military activities are charged
to the Army. although the Army is
expressly prohibited from using the
appropriations
The proposed change has been in
dorsed by Gov. Morrow Of the Panama
Canal Zone. who is in Washington.
