THE MAGIC OF YOCR VOICE
m
Ttoe morning- IlBht ia breaking
in the East,
The long, dim shadows gent-
ly steal away,
Ity heart Is waiting for the
sweet refrain
I yearn f.ix, to begin the new-
-4 born day
The miibic of your voice!
The risen pun is radiant In the
sky. .
The meadowlark is sinsing
her eet song.
FWing the air with limpid me-
lody
Without, ala. the thrill for
0 I' which I long
The glory of your voice!
- Te day is spent, the shadows
cast their spell,
The lone night beckons me
to sweet repose.
t think the argels. Ust'ning.
catch the strain
That lingers with me, as mine

THE SENATE FREED FROM
ITS SHACKLES

enacted second in importance
only to the betterment worked
when the constitution was

"tive by the people instead Qf
by legislatures in the various
states.

bad the power to thwart legis
lation at any time they chose
to do so. On numerous occasi
ons they have bejn so inclined
and the public welfare has
been made to suffer. Last
.Saturday the filibuster was
tried once too often and the
torrent of denunciation arising
over that action has been suffi
cient to work a change long
needed. It is a step that will
be far reaching because it will

forms in the senate rules.
"J THE CASE OF DARCY
eOVERNOR WHITMAN'S
action in refusing to per
mit Les Darcy, Australi
an prizefighter, to box in New
"York on the ground he was a
""slacker" from the fact he ran
awy from Australia to escape
military service, has caused
romment by the papers
throughout the country.
The Cleveland rlaindealer
tbjnks other governors might
well follow the Whitman ex
ample: The St. Louis PostDis
patch thinks the governor's
action absurd yet has no sym
pathy for Darcy. The Boston
f'ost asks" why the governor or
New York should become a re
cruiting agent for any foreign
power, also if he proposes to
take similar action against
any Austrian or German fijht
Nr there may be in this coun
try. the feature of the governor .
T.ov' is that it constituted offi
cial action by one of our states
upon a subject that was of con
cern to a different nation from
ours and strictly speaking none
of our business.
If we had very many Whit
man's our foreign affairs might
become sadly tangled. The
constitution authorizes the
federal administration to
handle subjects of internation
al nature and it is well to leave
such affairs to Washington.
FOOD AND FOOD RIOTS
5TT has been established
l that, at the worst, there
was no excuse for the M-
called "food riots" which re
cently broke out, simultane
ously and mysteriously, in sev
eral cities on the Eastern side
of the United States. Even if
potatoes, and certain other
vegetables, were run up by
speculators and manipulators
to a prohibitory price, there
was no justification for the
"We-are-starving" cry, because
as a matter of fact, nobody was
starving anywhere in the land,
nor were any likely to starve.
The products affected by the
very high prices constituted,
after all, only a small fraction
of the food supply. The "food
riots," manifestly, were insti
gated by designing persons,
and probably with the sole
purpose of arousing prejudice
against the exportation of pro
visions for European supply
and relief. ,
Two lessons of an impressive'
character have been taught by
this latest incident in connec-.;
tion with the high cost of liv
ing. The fact that the "We-are-starving"
agitation was
both artificial and mischiev
ous does not justify the system
that made it possible. The
food eomlt'ne did actually suc
ceed in raising the prices of
certain table necessaries to ex
orbitant points, causing depri
vation in some quarters, hard
ship in others, and discontent
everywhere. Steps should1 be
taken, without delay", to pre
vent the recurrence of food
monopolization at any time in
the future.
The other lesson is. that the
United States cannot afford to
permit the growth, in its popu
lous centers, of element such
as were drawn upon the other
day by promoters of a conspi
racy to create internal dis
turbance in some oversea in
terest. The immigration law
recently enacted provides for
the deportation of aliens guilty
of - inciting disorder, 'lhat
statute becomes operative on
May 1, but it is presumed that.
if investigations into the "food
riots" shall at once be under
taken by the Department of
Labor, under a resolution in
troduced in the national-house
by Representative George W.
Edmonds of Pennsylvania, the
act may later be applied to the
findings.' Christian Science
