In affectionate memory of our
dear father and grandfather and
friend, Charles Shapard, who de-
parted this life three years ago,

AS you rest in the grave, dear

PREJUDICE

Give me, dear God, the venomed adder,
reptile coiled to strike will hiss, 49,.
True may grow ill but never sadder .'
Than from the bite of quiet prejudice. e.,
Give me, o God, the ivy's poison kiss,
1t comes not guised perfume,
To lure me to some bottomless abyss,
The way biased brother plots my doom.
Give me, God, the tigers tooth and claw,
Ny flesh to savage beasts I'd rather trust,
View my own breast torn and bleeding raw,
Than watch my soul dragged in the dust.
Let me walk within storms dread throes,
And shudder as the lightning's hurled,
But can't look little tyrants close
So many glowing doorways of the world.
Strangely Pve met none who'd define
With truth this prejudice among US,
Tradition, long-standing," they opine,
Say l. it's more the Devirs-fungus.
hardly think I'd fret, show despair,
Or let the thing upset my applicant,
If it were merely something in my hair,
But there's tourniquet for heart

HAVERHILL, Mass, Oct. o.
senator Lodge, Republican, of Mas
sachusetts asserted yesterday that
whenever Congress thinks that it
can actually run the war, control the
management of our Army and Navy
and direct military operations, we
are headed for trouble
The fall of France and OF other
unfortunate nations can be traced in
part to the fact that the politicians
attempted to tell the military lead
ers what to do" Senator Lodge told
Navy Day gathering.
I'VE must trust our military lead
ers. If they fail, we must get others.
But so long as we are at war, we
must not create problems at home
for our high command in addition to
the problems which are constantly
being created for them by the
enemy"
Congress must appropriate and
Congress must check on the conduct
OF the war. These are big enough
Jobs for any one" said the 4O-year-
old Senator, who holds a majors

senate after the November 3 elec-
ton and if Mr.. Warren is elected
the former President will be named

from an unimpeachable source "
Mr.. Bradley added II challenge Mr.
Warren and Mr.. Hoover to deny il. !"
MIR. Hoover and Mr.. johnson were
unavailable for comment.
AT San Bernardino later Mr.
Warren issued this statement.
ANY statement by any one to the
effect that I have an understand
ing with Senator Hiram johnson
or any one else whereby he will re-
Sign and l will, if elected Governor
appoint former President Herbert
Hoover to succeed him. is a plain
deliberate, constituencies lie.
Il have never heard of any plan
OF the Senator to retire and per-
sonally, doubt if he has any such
Intention.
The statement credited to a Pat
Bradley, in which Bradley is quoted
as challenging me to deny this
hctltlous understanding with Sen

"Bradley's statement was issued
by the press bureau, which is work.
Ing Tor the reelection of my op-
