More Truth Than Poetry
By JAMES J. MONTAGUE
A PARDoNABLE ERROR

CA man was sent to Jail in New
York recently for stealing saxo-
phone).
Though I condemn the crime of theft
And deprecate O. deed,
Which leaves the populace bereft
lOf what they really need,
One form of larceny can.
With confidence condone;
1 almost venerate man,
Who steals SaXophone.
Because of him the night is stilled
Albeit but jot,
And in a town with music filled
That helps an awful lot,
To mitigate a deep distress
Let jazz enthusiasts scoff--
But with one saxophone the less,
The world is better off.
Moreover, he'll be sent to Jail
And there, with dismal din,
His strident instrument will wall
To persons stepped in sin,
And make the wretches understand,
The while they do their time,
What they were in for when they
planned
To lead life of crime.
I hold no brief for him who yanks
A persons purse away,
Or hauls from dynamited banks
The treasure in a dray.
The list Of criminals 1 scan,
Applauding one alone
And that is the good kindly man,
Who steals a Saxophone.

it is said that 80 per cent of foreign
service men have independent means.
The dominant diplomatic clique, as
usual, talks about social background.
The consuls understand that the
new Junior officers will take over
their jobs and that the rich and
socially ambitious young men among
them will be able to step into pleas
ant diplomatic jobs without passing
through long, tedious years in the
lower grades of the service.
Some malcontentS even claim the
consuls are fighting for their lives.
Once the whole show is managed by
small clique of millionaire diplo-
mats here, the consuls will be far
away and unable to take their griefS
to congress, and none of them will be
in sight when appointments of min
listers, bureau chiefs and assistant Sec
retarieS are made.

Get Acquainted

The fellow you hate away down in
your heart,
The chap that you think you
despise,
Might prove in the end the best
kind OF friend,
If you'd just open up your two
eyes;
You see but his shell, his heart you
must find,
And be introduced to his soul,
Get acquainted, old chap, you may
learn mayhap,
That he's honest and earnest ano
whole.
The fellow you hate for no reason
on earth,
May be a lot finer than you,
Go out OF your way and some pleas
ant word say,
And you'll see the real man shining
through;
Tho something about him rubs you
on the raw,
1t will pass when you take his
right hand,
If you try to be kind. I'll bet you'll
find
After all he's regular man.

WORK FILES REPLY
IN TARIFF DISPUTE
Tells Raskob That Smith
Showed Approval OF Un--

Chairman Work, in reply to the
letter of Chairman Rsskob offering to
resign If Work could prove Gov Smith
favors the Underwood tariff plan, de-
clared last night that the Democratic
nominee indicated his approval Of the
Underwood tariff in his acceptance
speech, when he said:
"The Democratic party does not and
under my leadership will not advocate
any sudden or drastic revolution in
our economic system which would cause
business upheaval or economic distress
This principle was recognized as far
back as the passage Of the Underwood
tariff bill"
Declaring that the Democrats arc
beating about the bush" on the tariff
question, Work wrote:

"Your candidate does not make him
self clear on the subject. Does he nov
approve the Underwood tariff Law, rs
would seem to be indicated in his &C

Recounting unemployment problems
following passage Of the Underwood
tariff bill, Work said:
II am told you deny that the coun-
try is prosperous. but 1t seems to me
that the sale of 100000 automobiles
in this country in the past seven years
is sufficient answer to that. because
this means that half Of the families in

for sponsoring false issue" He Ques-
toned the sincerity of their tariff plank
and warned against the invasion Of for
eign-mad products.
The situation had become so grave,
he said, that the present tariff sched-

from foreign importations, which have
increased until "the volume of imports
is now as large as in the final year of
the Democratic non-protective Sim
mons Underwood act"
I'VE refuse to permit the overshadow-

scured," he added.
