The Philippines, Alaska, Porto Rico
Samoa and the Virgin Islands all
want different form Of government
Especially do they want to elect their
OWN governors, although their aspir-
atoms range from ne Filipino's de-,
sire for complete independence to the
Alaskan's ambition to be a citizen OF
a recognized sovereign state OF the
federal union.

Plucked From the Plains
An Epitaph


Let me live, oh Mighty Master,
Such. a life that man should know
Tasting triumph and disaster,
Joy, and not too much OF woe.
Let me run this ganlut over,
Let me live and love and laugh,
And, when I'm beneath the clover,
Let this be my epitaph
Here lies one who took his chances
In busy world OF men;
Battled fate and circumstances
Fought, and fell, but fought again.
Won sometimes but did no growing;
Lost, sometimes, but did not wall,
Took his beating, but kept going,
Never let his courage fail.
He was fallible, and human;
Therefore, lived and understood
All his fellow men and women
Whether good, or not so good.
Kept his spirit uudinlinished,
Never laid down" on friend,
Fought the tight, till it. Was finished,
Lived o sportsman to the end.

More Truth Than Poetry
BY JAMES j. MONTAGUE
GOOD BY SAILOR BOY:
or the upsettinQ exercises

I always was strong for the jolly jack
tar
With his naughtily nautical manner
Who could run up a ratline or swing
from spar
And be true tc the star spangled
banner,
Though his speech bore the tang OF
the vide open sea
And his cuss words were frequently
trightful,
The ways Of the olden brine blu
jacket to even me
Were always intensely delightful.
I liked him because he was fat and
serene
Because live while you live" was
his motto,
And that when, once ashore he for
ever was keen
To do things that he knew he ought
not 10;
like him because he rad learned to
despiSe
The things we call standards OF
grammar
Wherever ne went, he was clothed, in
my eyes
With shining and glorious
glamour.
But the Jolly young jackie, alas is

He is seized with dreadful amb.-
tlo~
To master the modern pendanticaI
lore
That the college folks cali erudition
He is lanky and lean, and addicted
to thought,
He has learned how to cling to &
dollar,
And his once unrefIecting young
spirit is fraught
With the aim to become a great
scholar.
No more he is rnthlessly dragged to

DEMAND FOR SPACE
IN EXPOSITION GROWS
Firms to Give Graphic Display of
Capitals Industrial Resources,
Says M. A. Leese.

Response to the appeal of the Dis
trict Commissioners for Washington
business establishments and citizens to
cooperate in making the Industrial
exposition of the Chamber of Com.
merce a success has been reflected
during the last few days in a notable
increase in the number of reserva.-
lions, according to announcement to-
day from exposition headquarters.
indications are that all space will
have been allotted within the next
two weeks" said NJ. A. Leese, presi-
dent of the chamber. Applications
for places in the exhibits are being
resolved at a pace that is highly
gratifying. Because of the fact that
the number of exhibitors is mounting
constantly, there now is no doubt that
the 1927 industrial exposition is going
to surpass former exhibitions in every
detail, Washington business is be-
coming enthusiastic on the need for
an industrial show annually. If the
Chamber of Commerce did nothing
else but make this contribution to the
movement to stimulate the growth of
the commercial resources of the Dis
trict ! believe its service would be of
the first order.
