Truth Than Poetry
on THE DESERT

PROGRESS on THE DESERT
I used to yearn to view the Nile
And topic desert places;
longed to watch the camels file
Athwart the green oases.
I never quite gave up the hope
To cross the stormy waters
And watch the husky sheiks elope
With rich old merchants daughters.
But camels now are going out;
BY Egypts dreamy rivers
The population drives about
The hectic sands in flivvers.
The long robed desert Locninvar,
I;is faithful horse eschewing,
Employs a massive motor car
When he goes forth wooing.
And doubtless clear across the sands,
In quaint formations rising,
Are quantities of hot dog stands
And bill board advertising
Which boost the newest cigarette,
The fastest baking flour,
And bid the passer-by to get
go to it Gas" for power.
So eastward I shan't need to roam
Across the billows foamy,
For 1 can see right here at home
All Egypt has to show me.
And at these fashions new and
strange
1 have no call to cavil,
For I shall save bit of change
1t costs lot to travel.

WHITE SHIRTS
 WILL AID GALES
Militant Body to Have "BIack Shirts" as Model

Mexico City. Nov. % R,-A milf tnt nation wide body 10 uphold the policies of the Gales administrations IS 10 he organized throughout MoXi- co. Since they are similar in pur- pose to tho "Black Shirts" the fol lowing of Premier Mussoini in Italy; 1t has been suggested that the M"Ni- can militantS be termed the White Shirts"
 By the formation Of these White Shirts the newly organized "leacue for revolutionary defense" intends 10 strengthen it's hand against what 1t terms the rcactionarics.
 Supporters of the policies of PrcSi- dent Gales and Gen. Obrcgon form ed the league a few days ago. One of these organizers is Congressman Soto Y. Cana, leader of the Agrar- ian movement and the Agrarian political forces. The purpose of the league is 10 fight ''reactonary elc- ments." These were specifically announced by the organizers as the Knights of Columbus, the league for the defense of religious liberty. and all the enemies of the revolutionary government"
 Mexican labor in the meantime has begun the circulation of testi- monial of appreciation for the poli- cies of the Gales administration. It is planned to present it to him nex, year when his presidential term ends, with the signatures of 2.O00.- o00 Mexican workers The testi- monial will be bound in a great al- bum and will point out that the Gales policies are of benefit 10 the working classes and the common people generally.
 A federal oifense against what the government terms Catholic rcb- els and outlaw banls' in the states of Jalisco, Agua scalientes and Mic hoacan. has been announced by the war department.

MANY VIEW B0RAH
 IN 1928 CONTEST
Politicians See Him Riding to Nomination on Dry Issue

Washington, Nov. 29 (UP)-Poli- ticians here are noting flashes of presidential lightning playing around tho bone dry lightning rod raised by Senator Borah, republican. Idaho.
 They are beginning 10 see results from Borah's extensive speaking campaign for definite party stand on the prohibition issue, and they are apprehensive at the power poli- tical alliance he has formed with the farm bloc of congress.
 Hope If Coolidge Refuses.
 If President Coolidge does not choose to be drafted, they see trou- ble looming ahead from Borah. He has been speaking regularly around tho country during the last few weeks, demanding everywhere that the republicans adopt q platform next year saying in effect: We are for the 18th amendment and the Nolstead act and we are going to enforce it." Women's clubs and law endorsements organizations are in- viting him to make many more speeches.
 Since he first took up the prohibit tion banner last spring in a Boston debate with Nicholas Murray But Ter, the 1rreconcilable senator has been receiving boosts from the Anti Saloon League. He has developed recently into the only prospective candidate who wants to go to the people on the issue of whether the 18th amendment shall stand or fall
 Anti-Saloon League Meets.
 The Anti-Saloon League meets here next week and it is expected that more will be heard concerning the desirability of Borah as the next republican candidate.
 Politicians always have doubted the sagacity of stirring up nation sentiment on the liquor issue which they consider as dangerously sNc- tional as the slavery question was before the Civil War. Publicly they have always seen more prominent economic issues upon which to car- ry on their party battles and private y tilSS il4Nt Iic SttltI OI llI'lI desire to keep prohibition out of national political campaigns.
 Path ThOrny For Leaders.
 Not only is Borah strewing politi- cal thorns in the pathway of the republican leaders, but he has been playing ball with the anti-Coolidge independent group led by Senators Norris, republican. Neb.; Brook hart. republican, Iowa and other so- called Insurgents" He already has been pledged to the Idaho delegation in the next convention and though he personally has announced for Norris, there are obvious possibii- ties that he may at the right time inherit Norris support.
 At any rate the lightning rod is up. polished and ready for the first big flash 10 come it's way. And the republican leaders are gazing upon it in wonder.

Makes Stirring Speech.

New Haven, Nov. % UP)- Senator William F. Boral, advocate of a strict prohibition enforcement plank in the 1928 republican nation- al platform. told an audience here last night he believed the convention would vote to uphold the constitu- tion."
 T believe that when the republ- can party leaves the convention hall next summer it will have voted to uphold the constitution" Senator Borah said.
 Control your delegates at the coming convention, assert your pow CT and you will win. Zou cannot tell me that there are more men in this country who do not believe in law enforcement than there are that do.'
 DenOunces "NulIification.'
 Senator Borah was bitter in his dcnunciation of Qualification" of the prohibition laws through the rcfus- al of politicians to enforce the 'ex- isting legislation.
 You cant amend the No,stead act so as to satisfy the people who want to break the amendment" the senator said. "They will not be sat 1sfted with the added aroma. That would not satisfy President Butler and Senator Wadsworth, for whom l have the profoundest respect"
 He said President Lincoln did not approve of the fugitive slave law yet he enforced it because he bclev- ed this government could not en- dure without law enforcement.
 Tt begins to look as if we were going to have a real convention, moi a caucus, in 1925" the senator said. T say to the republican and the democratic leaders, Go ahead, let's have a vote on the question of law enforcement. It will clarify the atmosphere"
 "1 ask for nothing but fair sub mission to the people of the ques- ton of repeating this part of the constitution. and believe that when the returns come in the politicians who described themselves as wet and dry will be found high and dry" Germany has a shortage Of skilled labor.
