More Truth Than Poetry
BY JAMES J. MONTAGUE
THE SNAKE AND THE MAN

THE SNAKE AND THE MAN
A great zoologist reveals
(And hopes, think to rouse our
wonder)
That snakes by passing motor wheels
Are very rarely rent asunder.
Their black and beady eyes aglisten
They pause beside the busy pike,
And ere continuing their hike
They look and listen.
The species in which you and 1
Are citizens and sovereign voters
Are prone too often to defy
The passing multitude of motors.
We calmly stroll across the roads,
We fail to glance in both directions
Then we are borne to our abodes-
Sometimes in sections.
The snake is mostly head and tail,
Unfit for lofty cerebration-
The snakes mentality is frail,
While men rule over all creation.
But though he has but little sense
While we have more than we can
carry
He uses his intelligence
When necessary.
And when in time it comes to pass
That man shall perish from the
planet
The snake, among the trees and grass
Will live his life as he began it.
With all our culture, all our art
Well flourish only for a season =
Discretion is the better part
Of reason.

WASHINGTON It was perhaps
Hon. Simeon D. Fess, the ebullient
senator from Ohio, and President
Coolidge was in better position to
do so than anyone else.
The Hon. Simeon had become a
veritable Merry Andrew Of poll
tics. 1t was almost impossible to pick
up a morning, afternoon or Sunday
newspaper without discovering that
the man was at it again. When a
man with the Hon. Simeon's close
contact with the White House spent
most of his waking hours whooping
up a Coolidge boom, it was natural
to suspect that his outgivingS had
something like tacit approval from
on high.
Some writer's seem to believe the
verbal spanking Mr.. Coolidge gave
Fess on his last visit to the White
House was tantamount to defin-
tie announcement that Mr.. Coolidge
positively would not accept renon-
nation. Others have a contrary
opinion.
Despite the fact that the presi-
dent had spoken heatedly, he did not
so far as to tell Fess that he would
not accept denomination. And when
Fess quoted him as saying, cit won't
work out that way I won't be nom
mated" it did not appear that Mr..
Coolidge planned personal interven-
ton to see that it didn't work out
that way In short, it continues to
appear that Mr.. Coolidge intends to
let matters take their course.
One wonders whether the presi-
dent used any good old-fashioned
cuss words in his talk with Senator
Simeon. He certainly has no reputa-
ton for profanity and it is not COM
monty told that he had employed it
even under provocation during his
occupancy of the White House, but
he has command of some of the
more conventional expressions and on
rare occasions as governor of Mas
sachusetts was heard to employ them
IN moments OF irritation.
Many of us in our unthinking way
sometimes forget that the president
is the commander-in- of the
army and navy Officers of these
two services, however, bear the fact
in mind and sometimes are reminded
forcibly.
The recent experience of General
Charles P. Summerall, the arn1y's
chief of staff, may not have been
adequately explained. Summerall was
premptorily ordered back from the
Pacific coast by his commander in
chief after he was reported to have
criticized the administration for fail
ing to relieve the bad army housing
conditions.
1t appears that the general was
speaking at a private luncheon,
where no reporters were supposed
to be present, and was explaining to
group of Californians why the

Everything would have been all
right if he hadn't referred to the
administration" as he was said to
have done in published reports that
found their way out of the meet
ing. On arriving back in Washing
ton Summerall was kept waiting sew
eraI days before he saw the presi-
dent. But Secretary of War Davis
called at (. the White House in the
meantime and is supposed to have
made the explanations for the chief
of staff.

TRUE ORIGIN OF THE IRISH
POTATO.

To the Editor of The Republican.
Dear Sir
The enclosed article speaks for it.
self. Statements from Smithsonian
Institution are generally accepted as
the last word in accuracy.
My res Election is that our local
school books taught that the potato
originally came from Virginia, but for
some time l have doubted this and
now l find my doubts confirmed by
the highest authority If you think
the article worthwhile publish it in
the interest of historical accuracy.
Sincerely,
CHARLES H. sHAFFER.
3443 lakewood Terrace,
Washington, D. c.
February "a, 1927.
The literature of the past has led
US to assume that the so-called Irish
potato (Solanum Tubersum) was
found growing wild in Virginia by the
early settlers and was taken from
there to England, by either Sir
Walter Raleigh or Sir Francis Drake,
about 1886. An article by W. F.
Saford in the Annual Report Smith
sonian Institution, 1925, just pub
lished, tends to show that this is
wrong. According to this article
Raleigh probably never saw potato,
and while Drake probably did see
them on the west coast of South
America. still there is no record of
his bringing any Of them home with
him.
There is every reason for believing
that the potato originated on the
western slope of the Andean noun
ftains, and specimens gathered from
prehistoric tombs in that dry region
show that it was cultivated there
long before Columbus reached
America. It never grew wild in Vir-
ginia or any other part of North
America
Thomas Cavendish, an Englishman,
in 1857, found on the coast of Chill,
potatoes collected for the Spanish and
it is probable that they We're used to
provision Spanish ships on the return
voyage, and in this way they were
introduced into Spain about that
time. From thence they We're next
carried to Italy. There is an authen-
tic record of the plant being intro
duced into the Botanical Garden at
Vienna in 1888. 1t is not known def
nitely when the plant reached the
British Isles, but it mush have been
soon thereafter for in 1868 the fail
ure of the potato crop in Ireland
caused much distress. The soil and
climate of Ireland are peculiarly
suited to its growth, and it evidently
became one of the most important
crops soon after its first introduction.
The potato did not reach the Eng
fish colonies in North America until
1919, when it was brought from Ire
land by immigrants who settled at
Londonerry, N. H.

GORMAN


A very interesting Parent-Teacher
Association meeting was held at the
German school on February 18th,
which was attended by majority of
the parents of the school children. The
parents responded with much enthu-
siasm which helped to make the meet
ing a decided success.
The room was attractively deco
rated in the usual red and white val
entine colors. Numerous valentines,
cupids, posters and other holiday ar
ray were prominently displayed. The
excited children, the eager parents
and the decorations lent a festive at
mosphere to the room.
After an inspiring prayer given by
the Rev. Mr.. Johnson, of Gormania,
the minutes of the last meeting were
read by the secretary, Miss Lena
Hamburg. Mrs. Flo Schaeffer, presi-
dent of the association gave an in
teresting talk and welcomed the
guests in few we'll chosen words.
Mr.. John Schaeffer, a well known
citizen of Gormania, also favored US
with delightful speech, contrast
ing the schools of yesterday with
those of today.
