before they are counted by the authorized

comfort to the throng
About>a life so grand and sweet tina,
It was like = song.
I've listened for the harmony fol-
many a hopeful day.,
And tried to join the chorus when the
band began to play.
The song was always fine when frs,
the music started out,
But pretty soon it wandered OF and
filled your ears with doubt.
Then everybody had to stop, as
anxious as could be.
Because some loud performer got tc
singing off the key.
He didn't seem to count for much al
first. but pretty soon
He made 1t rather hard to tell the dis
cord from the tune,
For others standing near him faltereG
in their equipoise
And thought his way was right be
= cause he made the biggest noise
All people long for harmony so gentle
and SO sweet,
But differences of opinion make i
strangely incomplete.
And everybody says, 1.-The tune Il
spoiled for you and me
Because the other fellows keep or

The Senatorial Lyre.

Now that the Silas Weggses Of the
Senate are dropping into verse per-
haps a milder air will prevail at the
north end Of the Capitol. where the
atmospheric conditions have for some
time been highly charged. Yesterdays
exchange OF PAROLES between Senators
Helm. and Lodge. should have q good
effect. Neither senator, it should be
stated. claimed authorship Of the
verses which he read. Each had re-
ceived his effusion from an unnamed
source. But perhaps now that the Ice
will take pen in hand on their own ac-
counts and frame lines applicable to
the present situation.
Possibly competition may be start
ed in the Senate for poetic honors.
Back in the old days Of Pericles
Grecian statesmen propounded their
views Of government in classic Ian
guage. They did not versify, but their
prose was music. They were careful
OF their syntax and their rhetoric.
Their periods were rounded, they were
thoughtful In their choice OF words.
They were deliberate in their address.
When they attacked they did so with
preparation.
Now has come day Of hasty speech.
True. the copy" is more or less edited

ing office for publication in the Rec.
ord. but much slips through that is
quires some exactitude Of phrasing,
some careful selection Of words. 1t
may be doubted whether any member
Of the Senate would venture improv-
isation in meter and rhyme.
So let the verses come, let the meas.
ured dactyls and the iambics flow
unsteady. Let the rhyn1ing dictionary
be brought into use. This is a cam.
paign year. Probably much Of the
metric material evolved In senatorial
:discussion can be made Of use later on
the hustings. A crowd always likes
the lit Of rhythmic discourse, es.
/ pecially il it has a jingle at the end.
Several centuries ago Andrew
Fletcher Of Saltoun wrote: "I knew
q very wise man that believed that II
q man were permitted to make all the
ballads he need not care who should
make the laws OF a nation" Why
should not the United States Senate
write both the ballads and the laws?

Smuggling Aliens.

From time to- time stories come OF
the smuggling Of aliens into the United
States, from the Canadian boundary,
the Mexican border and the gulf states,
and we also have such stories in con-
tection with liquor smuggling on the
north Atlantic coast. Most of these &C.
counts. though they seem plausible,
are set down as SENSATIONAL or
imaginary because they lack certain
elements OF confirmation. Only a very
small number Of stories are accom-
panied by statements that the aliens
have been captured while entering or
after entering the United States with.
out conforming to the immigration
law. But from Fort Myers, Fla,
comes bit OF news that is significant.
It says that ''twenty-one aliens We're
captured yesterday by Sheriff Albrit-
ton on Estero Island. twenty miles
from here. Twenty-Five were unload
ed in the night by sailboat from
Cuba and one escaped" 1t is told that
fifteen Italians, four Greeks, one
Syrian and one Albanian We're caught
on the island. Further along in the
dispatch it Is said that this brings
the total number Of captured this week
to sixty-one."
We have recently had stories of
passport Irregularities from South
America by which immigrants from
Europe enter the United States in VIC
lation Of law, and it was said that
these immigrants were Of the most
undesirable class. The captures made
on the Florida coast are important.
What is being done on the small Is.
land near Fort Myers is perhaps being
done at other places along our coast,
and there are probably secret ways
of getting into the United States
across our northern and southern
frontiers.
: There is close relationship between
liquor smuggling and the smuggling
of aliens. The two evils go together,
and more effective measures against
liquor smugglsrs would also check
the smuggling into this country OF
people not wanted here.
