same class, in open competition, at our

RILEY'S FIRST
HIT.
Wrote a Poem by Poe" and
Palmed
It on the Public.
James Whltcomb RIloy began his ca
reer In a newspaper offlco In Anderson,
Ind by writing humorous rhymes ns
"advertising locals" "doggerel" he
called them. At tho same time ho
wrote many rhymes with the serious
Intention of having them, if possible,
recognized as poems. But he could not
got them published. Even composi
tions whoso worth ho had tested those
that "would please peoplo when I'd
stand up and read 'em to them" would
bo returned promptly by every maga
zine to which he-offered them for pub
lication. The Iloosler dialect was too
"low down" for tho nvorago magazlno
editor.
Finally in n freak of boyish Indigna
tion, to prove that what editors really
wanted was not originality, but Imita
tion, ho devised tho schemo of writing
n poem In Imitation of Too and of
palming It off on tho public as a real
poem of Poo's recently discovered. Tho
scheme wns very skillfully planned
and very deftly executed and success
ful beyond anything tho clever deviser
of It had ever dreamed. From one end
of tho country to the other "Leonalnle"
was hailed as a veritable "And," a bit
of genius' most genuine ore. Riley bad
his revenge. He had somo trouble,
however, In proving that ho was not an
Intentional forger.
Ho lost his newspaper position, but
he immediately got un6ther and better
one on tho Indianapolis Journal. "Come
and get pay for your work," said Judge
Martludale, tho editor. Tho turn lu tho
tide had come.
A BORN SOLDIER.
Major General Stuart, the Dashing
Cavalry Leader.
Major General J. E. B. Stuart of the
Confederate cavalry was n soldier by
nature. Dashing nnd daring, cool In
tho faco of danger, he was one of the
brave and picturesque figures of tho
civil war. II. B. McClellnn quotes In
"Life and Campaigns of Major General
Stuart" from General Fltz-Uugh Lee'
Impression of tho future cavalry lead
er while ho was still at West Point:
"I recall his distinguishing charac
teristics, which wore strict attention to
military duty; erect, soldierly bearing;
immediate nnd almost thankful accept
ance of a challeugo to fight from any
endet who might feel himself In any
way aggrieved and n clear, ringing
voice."
Stuart was n most cheerful soldier.
That "clear" voice of his was often
used In Blnglng his favorite war song:
If you want to havo a good time,
Jlno tho cavatry.
Ills courageous attitude was held
until the very end. He was wounded
by a pistol on the battlefield. As ho
was being carried nway ho noticed tho
disorganized ranks of his retreating
men.
"Go back!" he called out "Go back!
Do your duty ns I havo done mine!
Go back! I'd rather die thau be whip
ped!" Thoso were his last words ou the
field of battle. Later he said, with tho
same courage:
"I'm 'going fast now. God's will be
done."
Sheridan on being asked how we
came to call Gibbon "luminous," an
swered, "I said 'vo-lumlnous.'"

I bear no malice toward thoso engaged in the business, but I hate
the traffic. I hate its every phase. I hate it for its intolerance. I
hate it for its arrogance I hate it for its hypocrisy. I hate it for its
cant and craft and falso pretenses.
I HATE IT FOR IT8 COMMERCIALISM. I HATE IT FOR ITS
GREED AND AVARICE. I HATE IT FOR ITS SORDID LOVE OF
GAIN AT ANY PRICE. I HATE IT FOR ITS DOMINATION IN POLI
TICS. I HATE IT FOR ITS CORRUPTING INFLUENCE IN CIVIC AF
FAIRS. I HATE IT FOR ITS INCESSANT EFFORT TO DEBAUCH
THE SUFFRAGE OF THE COUNTRY, FOR THE COWARDS IT MAKES
OF PUBLIC MEN.
I hate it for its utter disregard of law. I hate it for its ruthless
trampling of the solemn compacts of state constitutions.
I hate it for THE LOAD IT STRAPS TO LABOR'S BACK;
for tho palsied hands it gives to toil, for its wounds to genius, for tho
tragedies of its might havo beens. I hate it for the human wrecks
it has caused.
I hato it for tho almshouses it peoples, for tho prisons it fills, for
tho insanity it begets, for its countless graves in potters' fields. T hato
it for tho mental ruin it imposes upon its victims, for its spiritual
blight, for its moral degradation.
I hato it for THE CRIMES IT HAS COMMITTED. I bate
it for tho homes it has destroyed. I hato it for tho hearts it has
broken. I hato it for tho malice it has planted in tho hearts of men,
for its poison, for its bitterness, for the dead sea fruit with which it
starves their souls.
I hato it for tho GRIEF IT CAUSES WOMANHOOD the
scalding tears, tho hopes deferred, tho strangled aspirations, its burden
of want and care.
I hato it for its HEARTLESS CRUELTY to the aged, tho
infirm and tho helpless, for the shadow it throws upon tho lives of
children, for its monstrous injustice tr blameless little ones.
I hato it as virtue hates vice, as truth hates error, as righteousness

Does Federal Executive
Power Exceed the Czar's?
By Ex-Judac JAMES JAY
H H' president of the United States, for whom I entertain
warm personal regard unci political attachment, for in many
respects he is a good Democrat, has said that congress should
rogulato and control tho business of all corporations engaged
in interstate commerce, especially tho railroads, and should regulate
their output of securities.
Yet what man who has any respect for fundamental law believes
that thero should bo left to tho federal government A POWER
VASTER THAN THE CZAR ENJOYS? If that were done, who
could dislodge a party in power, for how much greater than tho control
of tho postal service and the railroads is tho control of all business ?
THE PROPER POSITION FOR EVERY PATRIOT TO TAKE IS
THAT IF THESE THINGS ARE RIGHT TO BE DONE THEY ARE TO BE
DONE BY AMENDMENT TO THE CONSTITUTION.
Without discussing tho need for regulating corporations such usur
pation of power might well FRIGHTEN A LIBERTY LOVING
PEOPLE. And tho danger of it is that good men aro promulgating
this doctrine. An evil man would bo Buspected. If wo always had a
benevolent despot it would bo all right to enact such laws. Who can
say how long representative democracy would last under such conditions.

too narrow for twentieth century American public life.
NEVER IN HISTORY WAS THERE SUCH A DAY FOR YOUNG
MEN IN PUBLIC LIFE AS THAT WHICH HAS NOW DAWNED.
AMERICAN PUBLIC LIFE IS CRYING ALOUD FOR MEN WHO ARE
HONEST, INDUSTRIOUS AND EQUIPPED.
You cannot sit in your clubs and servo tho republic. You cannot
lock yourselves in your library and solve tho nation's problems. You
cannot dally in society and perform the country's service
You must MINGLE WITH ABRAHAM LINCOLN'S PLALN"
PEOPLE, and this is not abasement, but excitation, for at the fire
sides of the millions dwell tho purity and pouor of tho land, and there
