I have yet to hoar the candidates for presidential nominations ing except ‘we must reduce expenditures,’ ‘we must bal budget, but we want to continue relief and help the fanner." It is true have been feeding us epigrams for a good many generations. No voter likes such inadequate mental but he will continue to receive it until he rebels; and 1040 is as good a time as any to make a start. A good example of this epigram business was given by Sena ter Report Taft just a short time ago when he declared that “relief can’t be run from marble palaces in Washington. Of course, relief has never been run from marble palaces. When Harry Hopkins was doing his biggest job he occupied very modest quarters. Senator Taft knows that. Then why did he tni^ about marble palaces? Because he wished to prejudice the voter# against the present relief setup and thus pave the way for returning relief to the states. This scheme is dear to the hearts of the U. S. Chamber of Commerce and other reactionary interests, but it means more misery for the idle. UNEMPLOYED Despondent, tired, with weary feet, With hope that's now grown dim, The unemployed man walks the Hns'cod forgotten hiint He walks from rosy 4»wn’y first light, He walks until the stars come up And atill “no work today." “01 God for food with which to sup A room in which to stay I" So slowly now he stumbles on With aching, faltering feet, Until his strength completely gone, He falls—there on the street. Then to a hospital they bear The prostrate form away; Poor bit of human waste! His care; A debt we all moat Day. 0 world! Why don't you give him work And wages that are fair? Try as you will—you cannot shirk, His burdens you must share. —PEARL RIDLEY GRUBBS, in Atlanta Constitution.
