representatives But just how oil
rectly the influence of the people
is felt in Washington and the Varl-
Gus state capitals is open to de

holds long and anxious conSulta-
tionS with his official advisers;
Congress engages in Wordy de-
bates; industrialists, StatlsticlanS,
college professors, and other eX-
perts harangue congressional COM
mittees with their ideas for reme-
dies.

does he think the President ought
to do for instance, to cure the re

PROGRESS
By CHARLES H. L. JOHNSTON

Gone is the bear, the elk, and the
beaver,
Gone is the moose and the call of the
loon,
Gone are the forests which sheltered
the panther,
Gone are the swamps where the grey
sheldrakes Groom;
Where are the red-men? their will
lowy tepees?
Where are their children who laughed
in the sun?
PROGRESS-swift PROGRESS-has
swept them asunder,
Nothing can withstand the death
dealing gun!
Gone is the lynx, the martin, the
sable,
Gone the wild-pigeons which darkened
the sky,
Gone are the wild-fowl who screamed
in the marches,
Gone are the wolves with their far
reaching cry;
Where is wild Nature? 1t bends to
the WHITE MAN,
It's beauties are chilled by the mark
of his hand,
PROGRESS-vast PROGRESS is
killing the wildwood,
Nothing can stop tit conquers the
land.
Cities now rise where once there was
verdure,
Houses Of concrete and mansions of
steel,
WHITE MAN is Master? his genius
appalling,
Inventive, constructive; all bend
meath his heel;
Steel engines roar where once there
was silence,
Circling the Earth, they spin in the
air,
He speaks thru the azure, he talks
meath the ocean,
WHITE MAN is King; none with him
can compare.
He's harnessed the streams; he dives
meath the ocean,
He talks round the World; he speaks
from the Poles,
He tempers the Winter, he cools off
the Tropics,
He burrows in soil and digs like the
moles;
He slaughters his kind with Tanks
and with Air-planes,
He prolongs their lives with the oxy-
gen can,
PROGRESS is his; he makes it and
likes it,
Of all the Earth's products,-most
brilliant is MAN.
