The boys are on their holiday,
As brown as berrles-they are 'burned.
But grown-up age on duty stays,
Still finding lessons to he learned.
Youth rompa the vacant lots In play.
From books and studies wholly free,
But age must go from day to day
1 Still seeking manhood's high degree.
' Touth puts. Its lesson grim aslde
. But age must meetfc sterner test;
Vlth man life's never satisfied,
Ha must do better than the best.
Thus while the children romp and play
And from the path of duty turn,
Age never puts life's books away,
Bach page has lessons It must learn.
No glad vacation ever dawns
When age has come and youth has
fled,
Old feet must shun the velvet lawns
To trudge the road which lies ahead.
So let them romp the whle they may
And let them think their lessons
done,
They shall discover down the way
The work of man Is Just begun.

THE SENATOR DOES WELL
N explanation of why he voted ajrainst acceptance of the
"grab" oiler of Henry Ford tor Muscle Shoals has been
made by Senator Charles L. McNarv in a letter which he
iias sent to W. E. Kimseysecretary of the Central Labor Coun
' cil of Portland. The letter was in reply to one of criticism for
las attitude and vote on the Ford oner.
There is some truth about Henry Fordcreeping through his
Darrage 01 propaganda which the public should understand.
The Ford machine is all oiled, and it is said to be functioning
very wen now wrtn me iaea in mina 01 launcmng tienry ior
president in 1924. The senator's reply is well worth reading,
it Is also worth thinking about. Then it might not be a bad idea
to cut out that letter and keep it for reference, because there is
likely to be a lot more about this affair before the country is
much older. , v
"It grieves me to do any act that invites the censure of the
labor council. In this instance, I feel confident that your disap
proval will give way to approval when you and the members of
your council make a thorough analysis of Mr. Ford's offer, and
I should be .happy if the council would withhold its censure un
til an opportunity has been given for a careful reading of the re
port concurred in by a majority of the senate members of the
committee on agriculture, which I am enclosing under separate
cover.
"The propaganda favorable to the acceptance of the Ford
proposal has exceeded anything of that character which has oc
curred since I have been a member of the senate, and for that
reason, much misinformation and considerable misrepresenta
tion calculated to deceive has been sent over the country. There
is no man, or group of men living, or corporation, to whom I
would give a lease for 100 years to a great water power which
belongs to all the people. Private gain should be kept out of
consideration, and the public welfare alone should be consid
ered. "The proposal of Mr. Ford is to acquire a title in fee simple
to more than'$105,000,000 worth of property owned by the gov
ernment of the United States, and acquired and developed by
the taxpayers of the country. The purchase price proposed to be
paid by Mr. Ford is $5,000,000. The property is to be taken
over by a corporation and not by Mr. Ford, though he is to cause
it to be organized. It may pass out of his hands and into the
hands of manipulators speculators, exploiters, or profiteers
even during his own lifetime, and no one knows, upon his death,
into whose ownership the stock will flow. The water power is
to be leased to the Ford corporation upon terms so favorable
that they are simply astounding when properly understood. The
two dams, where the hydro-electric is to be developed, will cost
around $50)00,000. This money is to be put up by the Ameri
can government, and upon this sum, the corporation pays a very
low rate of interest and upon the $17,000,000 heretofore gone
in partial construction of one of the dams, not one cent of in
terest is to be paid, nor any of the principal.
"The word has gone all over the land that this corporation
will make abundant quantities of fertilizer to be sold to farmers
at a much less sum than now obtains. This report and rumor is
without foundation, and nothing in Mr. Ford's proposal justifies
the statement, nor can inspire the thinnest hope. He proposes
to make 110,000 tons of nitrate of ammonia, which Is equivalent
to 40,000 tons of fixed nitrogen, suitable as a fertilizer. The
annual consumption is about 227,000 tons of fixed ritrogen. I
appreciate this quality of nitrogen would be a fine thing, but
well might the farmers of the country use many times that
amount, but this corporation does not obligate itself to make
more than 40,000 tons for the whole period of the lease, namely
100 years. The corporation will devote but about one-fifth of
the water power in the extraction from the air of the 40,000
tons of fixed nitrogen. The Remainder doubtlessly v. ill l- used
for private commercial purposes.
"If this-property is leased to any person, firm or c rpora
tion, It should be done under the federal water power a. i, which
surrounds the lessee with certain governmental restrictions and
limits the lease period to 50 years.
"In a brief letter, it is not possible for me to express my great
disapproval of this corporation's proposal to acquire this price
less property. I voted for government ownership and operation
of this plant, so that the requirements of the farmer for fertil
izer could be met and satisfied, and where no limitation in the
creation of a fertilizer exists, but where the whole of the power
might be devoted in time of peace for that purpose.
"Just recently the congress appropriated $7,500,000 to be
used for the completion of dam No. 2. Well may the govern
ment go forward as it is and construct a complete and going
tilant. To vote to turn over this great and valuable Dropertv to
a corporation in fee for a trivial sum, and to lease the water
powers to a corporation for a period of 100 years, would bring
to me a Keen sense vi naving aone wrong, l cannot vote for the
Ford offer. I feel confident that in a few years the American
people will rebuke anyone in congress who, by his vote, ap
proves this corporation's proposal.

while we presently disagree about the matter, I think eventual

IVEN arr immigration lav? that is inequitable and asinine
m principle, must it be made oppressive also by stupidity
of enforcement? The temporary deportation of a young
.Belgian wile and her eight-year-old son for an unintentional vi
olation of one of the new law's technical provisions is perhaps
the most absurd of all the inconsistencies which have marked
its operation.
Married to a Belgian in Chicago who has declared his inten
tion of becoming a citizen, the vounsr mother departed six
months ago for Belgium to bring back their child. On seeking
to return she is first delayed by the exhaustion of the Belgian
qut ta for the fiscaj-year ending June 30. Sailing then to take
advantage of the quota for the new fiscal year, because of an
unusually quick crossing she arrives at New York some three
hours ahead of the lawful moment for admission and is detained
at Ellis Island. After several weeks' consideration of her case
by local immigration inspectors and the board of review at
Washington, it is finally suggested that she return to Europe on
the ship on which she came, remain on it, return here and make
another application for admission under the new quota.
Can any fairy story of the obscurity of the law beat this?
Who is to pay for Mrs. Carton's round trip to Europe to qualify
for residence in this country, to which she had already been ad
mitted, we do not know. But it will be a trip at the expense of
the legislative intelligence responsible for an immigration law
necessitating such an expedient. Is the law in fact of such
asinire nature or is it made to appear 3b by asininity of interpre
tation? New York World.

IS CAUGHT IN DEWVER
DENVER, Aug. 8. (I. N. S.)-.
"Jimmy" Hammill, Federal prohibi

known in sporting circles in Colorado,
gets the credit for discovering what
is believed, to be the first Chinese
"moonshiner" ever arrested i in the
United States. .
. An aged Oriental, unable to un
derstand the English language, was
arrested by - Hammill in a Lawrence
street house here, where the en
forcement agent found a complete
distillery, $1,000 worth of manufac
tured liquor and 1,000 gallons of
mash.
. The prisoner merely mumbled
"Tom" when efforts were made to
learn his name.
The entire upper floor of the house
had been used for the manufacture of
illicit liquor, -the officer " said. The
still was of seventy-five-gallon caaclty.
When Hammill entered he was merely
overcome by fumes.
