Oh man created out of common clay
Who in thy wisdom showed the mortal way
OF liberty for all-lives but again
On his recurring birthday. not in vain.
No monument of granite spire high,
Nor shrines of wondrous beauty to the eye
Nor epitahs of glory from the pen
Can rival his love in the hearts of men.
His soul goes marching on a thing sublime
Nor can the ever passing years of time
Blot out the history of the deeds he
wrought
Nor of the price he paid for what he
bought.

$500 a year. but thst much of it

of the Daily wish to state at this time
that they never have, and never will,
permit the paper to be guilty Of sensa-
tionalism. The Daily has the best in
terests of the University Of Michigan
at heart, but does not believe that such
interests can be fostered by suppression
