Spring Willow
BY FRANCIS II. INSLEY

BY FRANCIS II. INSLEY
Whenever the gray-goose squadrons
stain
Their arrow marks across the sky,
Whenever the winds are warm with
rain,
I know that summer Is drawing
nigh
I search the coverts with eager cry
For the fair, fresh luster of young
buds sheen.
Sure, though all else be cold and
dry,
Spring willow bears the earliest
green.
Elm and maple and thorn are lain
SO close in sleep that the world may
And rest awhile and be born again,
Nor stir them more than a wind
wrought sigh.
Yet there is one that the winters tie
Has bound more loosely. Though
wan and lean,
The new earths temper it fain
would try.
Spring willow bears the earliest
green.
The fields are barren Of grass or
grain
And the only flowers are those we
buy,
And all Of the summer seems yet TO
gain
To those who look with a careless
eye.
But there be crannies some do not
pry,
And they miss the maiden in seek
ing the queen.
Let oak and linden in slumber lie;
Spring willow bears the earliest
green.
Lady, Of all sweet summers, I
Have given my love to this latest
seen,
Hoping, mayhap, it may tell me why
Spring willow bears the earliest

PRESIDENT TRYING TO
AID AMERICAN PEOPLE

BY A. J. McKinnon.
The Times Saturday editorial
stand on the banking bill was we'll
taken, and I feel that the editor is
finally grasping the idea between
right and wrong. With a little IRON
ing out of his idea ne will be perfect.
feel it is the wrong time to drop
paper when reform is in sight, as
was done by woman last week.
The credit control in the hands of
the private reserve banks is a seri-
Gus mistake and must be corrected
or We will go over the cliff. There
is no use for us to jump out of the
frying pan into the fire on the
RooSevelt-Ec reform bill. That
would be a greater mistake and sell
out completely to the banker.
There is no word found in the
dictionary that has fooled the world
more than this word reform" Not
always can deform be a good thing
because it is represented to us as
reform.
To change thing around in such
a manner that it is the same old
thing, just little worse, is not re-
form. To name it one thing and
do the opposite will not work.
There is a bill up before Congress
known as the Banking and None
tary Control Bill. This bill takes
the berries.
The President Eccles Bill is a
reform of that bill to block the
monetary bill just the same as he
did the Townsend bill, by produc-
ing his old-age pension bill.
The people today have a line on
the Presidents operations and this
bonus payment in greenbacks is a
direct test Of the banking bill, and
the President is the Lone Eagle
against it.
The great cry against it is fear of
initiation, but this initiation is pro-
tected by nine billions of gold and
silver that is capable of carrying
more than 20 billions and be safe.
In conclusion may say that 1 fully
believe the Presidents aim is to
keep the American people hopping
from the frying pan into the fire
and vice versa, for the next 100
years, by paying interest to the
bankers. He has done enough so
far for the coupon clipping banker
to keep him busy for all the next
generation. 1t is about time he did
something for his fellow citizens.

Through all her rs years, Miss Adams
loved life of passionate kindness. she hated
injustice. cruelty poverty. autocracy, and,
above all. war But she loved people. Her
genius lay in understanding all sorts of peo-
pie. whether starvelings or millionaries, ward
politicians or Presidents. Her almost fierce
sense of justice however, was humanized by
a rich sense Of humor. Her unusual energy
was tempered by pose.
Il is rare that one lives to be acclaimed
great in on S own time. Miss Adams did.
on Nav more than 1900 representative men
and women gathered in Washington to pay
tribute TO her as president for two decades Of
the womens International League for Peace
and Freedom.
On that occasion Secretary Ickes hailed her
as a belted knight in the lists for humanity
Tributes were radioed from Japan, England
France and Russia. Her first little world, Hull
House IN the slums of Chicago, had spread her
influence around the earth.
Many OF the reforms Miss Adams fought
for have become realities. But her greatest
fight is unwon-her battle for peace at The
