. present economic mid social plight is intense and terrible: tins
fact is known to all the world. And yet, so greatly lias mankind lost confidence
in Germany, it is ready to give credence to propaganda which is studiodsly
calculated to create the impression that Germany is merely stimulating disaster
and ruin,.
Responsible statesmanship in the allied ranks has recognized Germany’s plight j
and is attempting to ameliorate it by supplying credit and raw materials.
In tin- face of this fact it is hardly good Americanism for any attention to be
given to itinerant Critics, some of whom are trying to bolster up lecture engage-
ments and others to sell books based on the German peril.
Extraordinary powers with which President Wilson was clothed as a result;
of war conditions arc rapidly being laid aside. Railroads were returned to
privatij ownership on March 1 and this has been followed by an order removing
the cokl industry from national control. This order - comes on the heel of tlie
presidents aceptance of the majority report signed by tlie commission he recently ;
named to consider xxages and prices. It is expected that the coal miners will be
given an increase of 2-‘i per cent in wages and that the added cost will bo passed
along to the public.

Tax reform legislation is now regarded as improbable at this session of eou- ■
press. There bos been a decided sentiment favorable to the removal of certain
onerous features ot tin- i-xcess profits him) surtaxes, but agitation for a bonus'

vision.
Now that the Versailles [marc treaty has been rejected interest .centers in

Under the Batabo Tree.
In tin- land of t.nhon, heath ah ppalleut moon,
The juju was plumitis Hx flight;
And the mapi ill bloom shed an amber perfume,
On the sensuous, tropical night.
/When a lexer, Ray do, with his soul all aglow.
Met there in a batabo’s shade.
His Fhe-ehe so fair, with her raven-like lmir;
i Oh lov ely indeed was the maid I)
An,j, he clasped in his arms, all her radiant charms^
His bliss wins exquisite—divine!
As stie laid her dear head on his shoulder, lie said,
’ ‘ You love hie! Tin- world is mine."
Then a big gamboi-ee in that batabo tree,
Threw a cocoanut tree at the head
Of th,- lover 1,’ny-do, with such force that the blow
Did the work, and lie gasped and was dead!
Then • Tie-die, his queen, stood aghast at the scene!
And struck with Pates poisonous dart,
she s lire iked in despair, and sinking down there,
Lay dead on her fond lovers heart!
Now tlie forest is mute. Neither bird, neither brute,
Disturbs the two lover* at rest;
But that big guntborce grins aloft in the tree,
As the moon softly sinks in flic West.
