Selected Poem
NEW ALMANAC

Glenn Ward Dresbach in the New York Times
OF these first days of Spring he ponders signs
For planting, eager for the time TO come
When green things march again in shining lines
And hopes revive for the millennium,
He notes again the sun-spots indicate
That certain portions of the earth must bear
The waste and cruel uncertainty of hate
And cast long shadows on lands far from here
He gives the kitchen fire unneeded pokes,
Admits that he is glad that he is here,
And turns another page half filled with jokes
Old as predictions of another year. .
He seems to seek, while earth to sunlight gropeS
New reinsurance for old things he hopes.

MIR. PARSONS THINKS VATICAN
personal ENVOY" IN BE-
HALF OF PEACE SAVORS OF
OLD WORLD DIPLOMACY
waterbury, Conn.
Mar. 26. 1910

Waterbury, Conn.,,
Mar. 26, 1910
Editor of The Democrat:
With reference to the methods
employed by the chief executive Of
the United States in his eagerness
apparently to be a good neighbor
and bring about cessation Of hos
tilities in the Old World conflict, he
has appointed what he terms his
personal envoy" to the Vatican to
work in conjunction with church
diplomats to bring about peace .pacts
now or at the close of hostilitieS. IN
cidentally it is stated that If peace
plans mature, his personal envoy
will be appointed permanent ann
bassador to Italy and the Vatican
City.
The advice put forward by our
first United States President after
the war with Great Britain-"to
avoid entangling alliances with for
eign governments" can be reduced
to practice during the present
European conflict.
The diplomats of the Old World
are keen adopts in the game of dip
lomacy-a thousand years Of prac-
tice versus the apprenticeship In the
United States Of 1865 qears-we are
strong in our home diplomacy, but
crude in transacting international
relationship with trained foreign
diplomats.
No better evidence of United
States diplomats capacity for being
a prey to gullibility Is wanting than
what the. first World War produced
during the tragic events Of Presi-
ent wilson's closing administration.
The after-the-war- reconstruction
plan was entrusted to Wilson, and
European diplomats very, craftily
allowed him scope In forming divi-
sional territories, corridors and buff
fer states. In the interval; the Dip
lofnatic corps Of every European
and Baltic State shared the hope
that their war financial obligations
TO- the United States would. under
the Wilson regime be cancelled.
We are aware what success was
attained in recovering payments
due us either on principle or inter-
est Of the World War debt. The ex-
perience Of that financial misfOr-
tune evidently has been pigeon.

General Assembly by a municipal Ordi-
nance"
Apparently the activities Of petty poll
ticians and short sighted business men
have no limits in the struggle to get votes
or kill competition. They undermine
their own welfare and that of the COM
munity with thoughtless actions. Fort
unately we have courts that stop such
chicanery before its evil effects hit too
hard. Otherwise no enterprise could
operate in even comparative security.

No one can compel Farley TO
resign as National Chairman,
except National Committee it.
self, and there is nu chance Of
that between now and the con-
ventiOn at which time a new
committee is elected.
There also is no likelihood of
Roosevelt firing Farley as POST
master General, no matter how
sore he may get at him. Roose-
welt doesn't fire people, especial
ly Cabinet members.
so JIM, SECURE ON ALL
FLANKS, INTENDS TO SIT
TIGHT UNTIL AFTER THE
CONVENTION. WHAT HE
DOES THEN DEPENDS ON
WHAT HAPPENS AT CHICAGO.
Inner Circle resentment against
Farley's retention of the National
Craftsmanship, now that he is an
avowed White House candidate,
is extremely bitter. The New
Dealers contend that this is poor
craftsmanship and a violation of
the spirit of the Hatch Act.
They hold that the National
Chairman, with the party Or
ganization in his hands, should
be an impartial figure. With
Jim an active candidate, OBJ
viously he can't be impartial.
The New Dealers even charge
that he Is using the party
machinery to boost his own
campaign.
But Jim Indignantly denies this.
He replies that other members of
the Cabinet. including the Presi-
dent, have their hats in the ring
and he doesn't see why ne isn't
entitled to do likewise.

At first it was given out that the
government didn't like to have its
ships traipsing of to far ports un-
der alien control when war was
on. This wasn't wholly conyinc-
ing, since charters to places farther
than VladivoStok are being exc
cuted; so now it is quietly admitted
that the moral embargo Is the
cause of it.
RIDICULE HEADS
CONGRESSIONAL SHOW
A little untimely ridicule headed
off what would have been one Of
the most gaudy congressional shows
of the year.
CONGRESSMAN william T.
Schultz of Indiana had demanded
congressional investigation Of
s0othsayers, tea-leaf readers, for
tune tellers. mediums and what
not in Washington. He had things
all fixed; the investigation was
going to start just when Black
stone, the magician, was filling a
local theatrical engagement. A
friend of Schultz, Blackstone was
going to appear before the COM
mittee and expose the tricks of
the soothsayers' art with personal
demonstrations. r..
Just before it was to happen, how
ever, some newspaper printed a
story remarking sarcastically that
Congress, which was in trance any
how, was going to investigate the
professional trance addictS. The
story made Schultz and his fellow
committeeman so sore they dropped
the whole thing.
HATCH WON'T DO
A THING-SO HE SAYS
Day after his new clean-politics
bill passed the Senate, Senator Carl
Hatch was debating letter to his
secretary. Letter was to d constitu-
ent, explaining that Hatch couldn't
comply with some request. Hatch
dictated: and am not going to
do anything" @
He paused, grinned at the Sec
rotary. Might as well end the
sentence right there" he said.
1.-THE way I feel now, I'm not going
to do anything at all, for long
time"
Don't bank on it, though. Hatch
took a beating from the physical
strain the two-week flgnt put on
him; but his health was better at
the end than at the start, and he'll
be in there pitching again very
shortly.

Laying hands on another mans dog is
"trespass" in the eyes of the law. An East
CRANKY man did that some time ago and
had his ear bitten. He sued but the
courts wouldn't uphold his claims. The
dog was chained at the time and the
court said, "A dog is personal property
and when the plaintiff laid hands on this
dog it was trespass not only on real but
personal property. :"
