announced the arrival of one new
legislator Into the fold with White,

The Tariff CdinmiBUon
My ma says that new commission to
investigate th' way
That the tariff law is workin'' is a
bit o' childish play.
She insists tir politicians are a lot
o silly guys
If they're thlnkin' th' consumers
ain't a growin' Johnny Wise.
"Huh, commission!" sniffs, my moth
er, "that is just another plan
That th' corporations frame up
'gainst -th' honest workin' man.
If they want t' know th' workin's of
th' tariff let 'em try
Makin' your own father's wages last
a' week, th' same as I."
My ma says that Mr. Aldrich may
discuss until ho's 111
'Bout th' glories ..that are hidden in
his onery tariff bill,
But she knows th' facts 'first-handed,
.. 'cause it's always up to her
To pay all th' week's expenses on
dad's fifteen dollars per.
An' when financiers are mentioned
ma' can lead 'em all a mile,
F'r she keeps us all a goin' an' she
never fails t' smile.
Bight oLust' feed, by thunder; eight
V" clothe ah' educate,
An' ma does it on dad's wages fif
teen per say; ain't she'great? -
Aslcmy ma about th' tariff; she can
give you all th' facts
Showin' Where consumers get it
where th' chicken got th' ax.
She don't need no fool commission to
decide the thing for her
'Cause she's learned th' tariff's In
jiards 'on dad's "fifteen dollars per.
Just a little more ori sugar an', a
little more on tea;
Just less wool an lots more cotton
In th' clothes f'r dad an' me.
More on everything we're buyin', not
a cent more does dad draw,
An' there ain't no blamed commis
sion that can fool this feller's ma.
They may fool th' party suckers with.
their ol' commission trick;
Th.ey may play th bluff all hunky
an may make their bluffin' stick,
But when ma has paid th' grocer she'
has got th' written facts
In receipted bills f'r showln' that th'
tariff is' a tax.
They can't fool her with commissions
or their oily ol' pretense,
She can show receipts t' make 'em
look about like thirty cents.
"Huh!" sniffs ma, "if that commis
sion wants t' make an awful stir
Let 'em try t' keep eight goin' on
dad's fifteen dollars per."
was as bravo as a lion; ho was fore
most in all public movements, and
homo was the gathering place of all
the young people of the neighbor
hood. As a schoolboy in Forest City
the writer learned to love the always
Bmlling Hovoy, and as a young man
ho profited by the kindly advice of
the man who always took an interest"
in young men. No costly monumont
will tower above the grave of Vino
Hovoy his last resting place will
"be marked by a modest stone. But
ho jjuilded in the hearts of the men
and women of his community a mon
ument more enduring than bronze or
marble, and he left behind him a
legacy of good deeds done for hu
manity that will bo worth more in
the years to come than libraries of
brick and stone. As the writer pens
tlfesc words feeble enough' to ex
press what his neart feels ho in
stinctively recalls the words of one
of Riley's beautiful poems and ap
plies them to Vine Hovey: "God
must a-bin a feelin' good when he
made you."

TJBJE SUNRISE NEVER FALLS
Upon the sadness of the sea
. The sunset broods regretfully;
From the far, lonely spaces, slow
Withdraws the wistful afterglow.
So out of life the splendor dies;
So ,darken all the happy skies;
' So gathers twilight, cold and stern;
But overhead the planets burn.
" And up "the east another day
.Stfill chase the Litter dark away;
What though, your eyes with tears be
wet?
The' sunrise never failed us yet.
. -. .. -
The blush of dawn may yet restore
Otfr light -and-tfope arid joy -once
.more.
Sad soul; take comfort, nor -forget
That,sunrise never failed ua yet!

The Sweetest Songs
Maryvllle, Mo., June 12. Editor
"Whether Common or Not." You
ask "what Is the sweetest Bong?"
It is a hard question, but I submit
John Howard Payne's "Home. Sweet
Home," and believe, it' appeals to"
more people the world over than any
other .song ever written. The next
In the list is "Nearer, my God, to
Thee."
I note, with interest, your article
in last week's Commoner relative to
the songs of other days and the "rag
time" songs so common nowadays.
I am thinking of hiding a double
quartette pf excellent singers' and
touring the country In a" concert de
voted entirely to the songs of other
days. I believe a public surfeited
with the trashy songs of today would
flock to hear good singers render the
songs that were ?o popular a quarter
or a halffc century ago. I would be
glad, for one, to pay my half-dollar
to hear a good company sing "Come
Where the Lilies Bloom," "Darling
Nellie Gray," "Moonlight on- the
Lake," "Twinkling Stars are Laugh
ing, Love," and others of the old
timers that delighted us in child
hood. G-. K. O.

An Appreciation v
Thousands of Commoner readers
never heard- of Vine Hovey, but in
northwest Missouri his name is a
household , word. When the news of
his death came a week or two ago
it nnrpifirl Rnrrrvw into fnmrlrnrls -'of
homes. 'For thlrly-flve years Vine
Hovey was tne agent oi tne "is., u.
railroad at Forest City, Mo. He
began with tkeVroad when it was
scarcely worthy the name of rail
road, and remained with it for over
forty years, and during that time he
never lost a day from sickne?r ana
never iook dul one vacauon,,
than the road arbitrarily ordered hi
to lav off-thirty days and paid him
for the time. There never lived a
more genial, courteous, "generous,
good-natured man than Vine Hovey.
Every child in the community hailed
him as "Uncle Vine," and every dog
wagged his tail when he came in
sight. As tender as -a woman, he
Bill's Ignorance .-
"Shakespeare says 'there's nothing

who loves to make quotations.
"That's all right, but it merely
shows Bill's ignorance' remarked
the practical- man who sat rfear the
landlady.
"How's that?" queried the quota
tion lover,
' "Well, you just go to a bank and
try to borrow, money, on your own
name atfdsee how quick you'll be
told to get another name with yours,
a'nd one that has something in it,
too."
