LACK OP SCHOOLS IN THB SOUTH.
It has long been a common thing to remark,
sometimes pityingly, sometimes censoriously,
upon the backwardness of popular education, even
In tlie elementary branches, in Russia, and tho
emallness of the provision made for advancing
It to a stains comparable with that of other
lands. In such remarks thero Is truth enough,
£0 far as statistics are concerned. According to
the Minister of Education, considerably fewer
than one-half to be exact, only a trifle more
than 43 per — of the children of school age
ia Russia are receiving any Instruction whatso
ever in schools. That is a shocking state of af
fairs, and we cannot credit the government with
taking measures adequate to the need. We are
told a bill Is being prepared for submission to
the next Douma, increasing by $2,660,500 the ap
propriations for schools. But what is that for
7347,000 children entirely destitute of school
privileges?
Yet who are we that we thould cast the con
tumelious stone at Russia for illiteracy? Mr.
Robert W. Taylor, the financial secretary of the
Tuskegee Institute, ia ua impressive address at
Lake Mlnnewaska m-ently, cited from the last
United State? census statistics as discreditable
to us as the figures which we have given are to
Russia. Of the Ne;;ro children of the United
States between the ages of five and fourteen
years 41 per cent, or 018,03!, never see tlie In
side of a schoolhouse, while the averago length
of the sohool ye«r for those who are permitted
to attend in only a little over three months. De
tails are even worse than tho general statement.
In Florida there is a l«r£er percentage of Negro
children in school than in ariy other Southern
state, yet there are only 35.5 per cent thus fa
vored, the other 64.5 per cent being destitute of
school privi!#»ges. In South Carolina <19.5 per
cent and in Louisiana the appalling proportion
of 7C.4 per cent are entirely denied instruction.
Thus in even the best of our Southern states the
Negroes sire far worse off, educationally, than
ure the people of Russia.
These figures. It la to be noted, pertain to ele
mentary education. The question of higher cult
ore, of that portentous bogle of some, the "ed
ucated Negro," Is not Involved. It Is a question
whether the Negro, who forms half the popula
tion of tl|os9 states, shall he taught the "three
liV or be kept entirely illiterate, whether ha
t-hu!l kav« sufficient instruction to make him a
capable workinjnnan or l»o kept as Ignorant as a
brute. Tli e true friends of Negro education.
cherish no illusions. Tboy indulge no f;m<-i*'> of
tte Immediate granting of Ph. D. degrees to all
black meu. Tin* Negro," to quote again Mr.
Taylor's instructive and inspiring address, "has
•"been afflicted with Mm so-called leaders wbo
"have done their best to teach that there Is a
"short cut to **lvilization, that the path of prog
"ress Is of easy ascent, that the race can fly In
"the faoe of all history, cast aside a} foolishness
-thm oecumii!ats4 ejxcrliin^-s of age* and hrantl
"the very t«\i< bins of nature as one stupendous
"f.-il^eliood. Tuskesee graduates decry, this '!•>■■
"trine as the rankest heresy. Tbe doctrine of
"tfga XMggfgs graduate is the doctrine of work
"—work in the shop, work in tbe fleld, work in
"the schoolroom, work with tbe needle, work
"with tbe pick, work with the pen."
lh.it is sound doctrine, and equally sound is
what Mr. Taylor added, that while the Negro has
ever been used to work, bis labor has not been
in tbe highest degree effective either for himself
or for bis employer, because "bis labor, in tbo
"highest sense, i 3 not free, for we cannot have
"free labor unless we have free men ; nor can we
"have free men without free schools." In brief,
there must be intellectual as well as political
emancipation before the Negro can take his
proper place, and a place profitable to himself
and to bis white neighbor, in tbe general econ
omy of tbe nation. That is the exact truth, and
It is to be seen how much longer we must watt
before American states generally recognize it
and act upon It, and free themselves from the
reproach of having half their population In a
worse state of Intellectual bondage than the
much pitied people of Russia.
A MISCARRIAGE IK LOGIC.
Logic is getting some bard knocks nowadays
in Massachusetts. Tbe Democrats of that 6tate,
like the Democrats of Illinois and New York,
are strong on formulating political premises,
but when they try to apply their logic they get
only a non-sequltur. We called attention a week
ago to the thoroughly scientific plan of cam
paign laid out in Massachusetts by tbe Hon.
Josiah Qulncy. Mr. Quincy had been somewhat
annoyed by tha pernicious activity of tbe Hon.
J. B. Moran, who purposed stampeding the
Democratic State Convention and having him
self nominated for Governor. If Mr. Morani
was to imitate in tlay State politics the role of 1
the Hon. William R. Hearst, Mr. Qulncy was
not prepared to illustrate tbe Christian forbear
ance of the Hon. Charles F. Murphy. On the
contrary, he had carefully put a local William
Tr avers Jerome in training, who was also to
"consent to run" et the psychological moment.
This candidate was tbe Hon. Henry M. Whit
ney, who bad narrowly escaped being elected
Lieutenant Governor last fall, and had thereby
proved his qualifications as a vote-getter and a
man of destiny. #
Mr. Whitney agreed with Mr. Qulncy in read
ing the signs of tbe times. He was sure that
be alone could crush tbe pretensions of Moran,
carry tbe state and redeem tbe party. So con
vinced, indeed, was be of tbe accuracy of bis
second eight that he cheerfully took the public
into his confidence. In a statement issued a
week ago he said :
Last year I became the Democratic candidate
for the office of Lieutenant Governor for th
purpose of giving the people of Massachusetts
an opportunity to have a referendum vote on
these vital Issues [the dragooning of Canada
into a reciprocity agreement and the revision of
the tariff for the benefit of certain Massachu
setts industries]. While success was not quite
achieved, the result was highly encouraging. It
would be false modesty on my part to fail to
recognize that the vote which I then received
makes me the logical candidate for Governor
this year if the same issues are again to be
pressed, provided that General Bartlett, our ex
cellent candidate of last j'ear, does not desire
the renomination to which by courtesy he is
entitled. Finding that he does not desire to run
again, I have reluctantly become convinced that
only through my candidacy can the issues which
I have so much at heart be safeguarded for the
future.
Everything completely lovely and completely
"logical." But logic is sometimes a balky horse
to ride in politics, for there were leaders in
the Democratic camp in Massachusetts obtuse
enough not to realize the binding force of Mr.
Whitney's syllogism. Tbe Hon. John R. Thayer,
of Worcester, was Illogical enough to remark
that Mr. Whitney would make a better candi
date for Lieutenant Governor than for Gov
ernor; and, Instead of coming to the new man
of destiny's support, ex-Governor William A.
Douglas dropped a gentle Intimation that he
might himself run for Governor again if the
field were cleared by the retirement of tlie two
gentlemen "contending for the nomination."
Mr. Whitney's faith in logic was not proof
against these shocks. His candidacy lasted only
seven days. Then he renounced his mission and
put bis canvass Into the bands of a receiver.
He is now in Canada, and the Issues which he
had "so much at heart," and which were to be
"safeguarded for the future only through my
candidacy," are left houseless and homeless.
Chaos and unreason rule, and Canadian pre
sumption in postponing reciprocity must go un
punished until a new balance of logic is struck
in Massachusetts.
THE CZAR'S LAND SCHEME.
Tbe Russian government has played its
strongest card in the electoral game. In tho
scheme of agrarian reform which is put forward
in tbe name of the Czar. It is a truism that the
land problem is fundamental to all others, politi
cal. 6ocial and industrial, in the eyes of the vast
majority of the Russian people. The chief de
mand of tbe people is for land. Tbe sorest need
of three-fourths of them, economically, is a suf
ficient area of land for their support On the
face of it, then, an offer of the Czar's govern
ment to provide the people with tbe land which
they desire and which they need should be a
powerful means of winning their support at the
polls. But such Is not really the offer.
At the present time the peasants not only have
not enough land to live on, but also they have
not all they are legally entitled to. They possess
83.661,000 dessiatiaes (a dessiattne Is about
2.7 acres), while under the terms of tbe law of
1861, by which land was granted to them after
their emancipation, they should have 150.-
CT6.000. They are thus legally entitled to 73,
115.000 more tnan they have. Whence is it to
come? It is said tho imperial agrarian com
mission will presently begin to distribute 1,800.
000 dessia tines belonging to the appanages, 4,000
000 belonging to the Crown and 2,000.000 be
longing to private individuals, who are offering
it for sale. That Is a total of 7,500,000 dessia
tines, or a little more than one-tenth tbe amount
needed. Such an offering will not solve the
problem.
Nor can it be argued that the peasants do
not need as much as they are entitled to under
tbe law of 1861. A careful survey of the situa
tion shows that the number of peasants with
out land, or without sufficient land. Is 37,857,000.
Of course, the amount of bind needed by them
varies in different parts of the empire. In the
Don region the average holding Is three dessla
tines a head, and nobody pretends they have
more than tbey need. It is probable, iv fact,
that in tbe present condition of agricultural
efficiency as much as that is needed on the
average throughout the empire. Then these
landless peasants need 113,671,000 dessiatlnes.
If we grant that many of them already have
some though not enough land, it still seorae sure
that at least as much as tbe 73,115,000 dessia
tlnes Is required for them.
Tbe entire area of Crown land, excluding
forests, is about 5.3G3.000 desslatines, and of
private estates 38,882,000, a total of 44.245.000
dessiatiues. If all of this were distributed, there
would still be a shortage. Tho ultimate resort
seems therefore to be either that there shall be v
wholesale migration from the congested parts
of European Russia to tbe more fertile ami as
yet unoccupied lands of the empire in Asia, or
thiit Russian agricultural methods shall be so
improved that it will not require an average of
eight acres a head to support tbe people. But
neither of three things can be done In time to
affect the coming elections, and tho thing which
is being done will, It Is to be feared, prove en
tirely inadequate.
Moreover, It is to he observed that this small
uuiouut of land which is to be distributed is not
to be given outright to tbe peasants, but sold to
them on easy terms. That^ is right, as we be
lieve. J*ut tb« trouble Is tl"Ct the peasants think

otherwise. Tliey have been demanding the land
as a free i!t. Their repre-euta tires in tbo lato
Douma doinandca . the forcible exproprmtion of
Crown and private estates without Indemnity,
and their distribution among the people without
price. Wrong as the people may have been in
that demand, it was their v ihihl gal tbey are
still making it and apparently will be satisfied
with nothing else. Coming immediately upon
the arbitrary disqualification of so many of the
members of the late Douma for election to the
new "one. being entirely |M ItsjafJsl in the
amount of land offered and offering It for i-ur
chase and not as a freo gift, it is to be feared
the peasants will reject tlio imperial offer, sjtlfc
the complaint that when they asked for bread
the Little Father gave them a stone.
NEWHER, RATHER THAN BOTH.
The race-language question has cropped up
acutely In the schools of Cleveland. The Board
of Education recently decided to drop German
from the curriculum of elementary schools.
Some Germans protested and demanded reten
tion of their language. Thereupon some Irish
men demanded that if German were taught
Gaelic should be also. We have not beard
whether tlie French have demanded the teach
ing of the language of Racine and Hugo. Per
haps the numerous Italian citizens will put in a
plea for the tongue of Dante and Tasso. There
are many Russians who may not wish to have
the sonorous speech of Tourgenieff fall into
neglect Of course, it Is unthinkable that the
melodious languages of Sweden and Norway
should be ignored. The exigencies of the flower
and fruit trade require a knowledge of modern
Greek to be cultivated. Then there are the Poles,
the Hungarians, the Chinese, the Japanese, and
goodness knows how many more. Shall there
(be an odious discrimination against their lan
guages, so rich in standard literature, so valu
able for practical purposes of trade and inter
course and so abundantly endowed with senti
ment and romance?
And then, last, but, in the esteem of a few of
us, not least, there ia the English language,
which has some claims upon our attention and
which many earnestly desire to see taught In
the public schools. It is not reported that any
organized demand in its behalf has been made
in Cleveland, but we should not wonder if
nearly as many people of that city were Inter
ested in it as in either Gaelic or German. And
if one-half of what some of our spelling reform
friends say about It is true, it is so much harder
to learn than any other language in the world
that it needs a great deal more time and atten
tion than any other. Is not a place In the cur
riculum to be found and kept for English? Or
are a dozen or more other languages and dia
lects to crowd it out entirely and leave It a
stranger in its own land?
The Cleveland Board of Education seems to
have acted Judiciously thus far, and itß appro
priate policy henceforth appears to be quite
plain. It has done well in dropping one foreign
language from the elementary curriculum. It
will do well to refuse to restore it, and to refuse
to admit any other foreign tongue. It may be
desirable to put two or three of the most use
ful modern languages in the high school cur
riculum as electives, but they have no proper
place in the elementary schools. The first duty
of every public school in America is to teacb
the American — that is, the English — language,
and the first duty in educational matters of
every alien and of the children of every alien is
to learn It thoroughly. To neglect that language,
or any of the other fundamental and Indispen
sable branches of common learning in element
ary schools for the sake of teaching a smatter
ing of some foreign tongue would be a grave
wrong.
THE SALOON QVEBTIOy IX VERMONT.
Though it does not figure as an issue in this
fall's campaign, the Vermont local option law,
enacted three years ago, is the subject of ear
nest discussion among the citizens of the Green
Mountain State. Passed as a substitute for
state prohibition and ratified by a close refer
endum vote, it has resulted In barring saloons
from most of the towns of the state, only twen
ty-seven this year having voted "Yes." In the
sparsely settled districts of Eastern Vermont,
particularly, its workings are satisfactory from
the point of view of the best element of the
population. It Is in those parts of tbe state
having larger towns and cities at Inconsiderable
distances from one another that most dissatis
faction with the law exists. Last year Mont
peller bad saloons and Barre had none. The
result was that Montpelier, tired of having to
take care of Barre "drunks and disorderlies."
as well as her own, this year "went dry." It
rejoices the heart of the thoroughgoing prohibi
tionist, of course, to see prohibition thus forced
upon a community In self-defence, but Buch
forcing is hardly of tlie essence of local option
as Its principles are generally understood. Be
sides, the problem does not always work out in
this way. Brattleboro, for example, after a stiff
fight, succeeded in abolishing saloons from its
jurisdiction, only to find that the neighboring
town of Gullford had granted a license to a
drinking place just beyond its borders.
It is obvious that the town as a voting unit
is so small as to negative much of tbe good to
be derived from the principle of local option.
It has been suggested that places which are
closely bound by tbe ties of transportation and
business Interests should vote together on the
license question. This plan, or that of making
the county the unit, would seem to have advan
tages over the present system — which, with all
its faults, has been of general benefit to the
state.
INTERSTATE MEDICAL COMITY.
A step toward, attaining a much needed end
has been taken in the making of an agreement
among several states. Including New York, for
a sort of reciprocity In the granting of licenses
to medical practitioners. Under this arrange
ment a physician regularly licensed in one of
the states may transfer bis activities to an
other state and be admitted to practise there
on the strength of his former license, unless
some special circumstances In bis case make a
personal examination seem necessary. Practi
cally, a diploma and license granted In one of
the states will be valid in all of them.
That is as it should be, not only in the four
states which have entered Into this compact,
but In all the states of the Union. Tbe exi
gencies of travelling and visiting and of resi
dence near the border line of a state, as well
as occasional removal of residence from one
state to another, make it desirable, as a mat
ter not only of convenience but of justice, that
a man who is regularly licensed to practise in
one state should be permitted, upon the strength
of that very fact nnd without tedious and cum
bersome processes of examination, to practise
in any other.
To attain that end universally, however, It
would be necessary first to establish much
greater uniformity In state laws regulating
medical practice than now exists. If in ono
state a four years' course of study is required.
It would be unjust to practitioners in that state
and to the schools of medicine to admit to prac
tise on <>iit:nl terms men from another state in
which only two years' study wus required. For
equal privileges there should be equal prepa
ration uiid equal qualifications, so far as these
cjiii be legally us^ertalned.
New York lias long been noted for tbe excel
lence of its meoleal colleges, and these have now
pretty generally adopted four years' courses.
It would uot be Just, nor for tbo good of tbe
profession, to let th<> stats be numerously in
vaded by practitioner* armed with licenses
from states of far inferior requirements— a re
ninrk which Is uo( hitomlnl to apply to any of
tbo states witli which New York bas made this
present arrangement. It would be Car more
agreeable and advantageous to have all the
other states raise their requirements to some
thing like tho standard of New Yor'i.
MOXEY A\r> BU SIX ESS.
When the stock market opened last Monday
rnornlnß It looked na if a good old-fashioned
boom -.vhs fairly under way. Purchases •woro
not restricted to tho reprwintativ-s of a few
largo operators, but all the commission houses
wero receiving- orders by mail and wire- that re
sulted In a greater amount of business dnrlns
th.< forenoon session than In th« c^rrrspondlnß
two hours of any previous day. «nd aggfs as tho
smaller offices were compelled to turn away
business because it exceeded their resources.
Tot closing prices of the sixty most active rail
way stocks averaged IBM below .tho high
water mark established durin« the much more
professional movement last January. On fol
lowing days it developed that the public appe
tite was not insatiable, and when Insiders began
to dispose of their holdings, which must have
been exceedingly burdensome. It soon became
difficult to sell without causing more or less re
action. Large Interests again rose to tho occa
sion by vigorous manipulation and a revival of
rumors regarding the Iron ore deal, extending
the breadth of the market to Great Northern,
and nnally Atchlson and St. Paul were made
leaders. Tho bank statement proved more satis
factory than had been feared, loans lncreaalnjt
little, while tho loss" in cash was about half as
much as. was estimated. Despite aomo proflt
taklng during tho last few minutes, tho week
closed very near the highest point of thia mors
ment. One result of the increased Interest was
a sharp recovery In tho price of Stock Exchange
memberships, a sale occurring at $96,000, which
is the highest record.
Well Informed financiers ware not surprlaed by
the advance In the money market to 6 per cent
for all periods, although it is customary to have
easy rates Just before the fall demand for crop
moving. Conditions have bean a© much out of
the ordinary this year that it raquiras very
little pressure to produce actual stringency. Of
course, the speculative revival In "VVWI Street
could not be foretold, but it merely accentuated
an already uncomfortable position that would
have almost certainly called for special meas
ures of relief when Interior demands attained
usual autumn proportions. With tho additional
pressure for accommodation on stock market col
lateral it soon became necessary to look for out
side aid. and talk of gold Imports was started
by the decline in sterling exchange. While It la
true that tho difference in money rates hero and
abroad attracted lending of credits by London
through sales of finance bills, and tho approach-
Ing liberal outgo of farm staples encouraged
speculative sales of exchange against the future
supply of commercial bills, it Is found that Lon
don parts with her gold reluctantly. In fact.
every rumor of shipments was denied, and tho
only prospect Is that New Tork may success
fully compete for a consignment of new gold
about to arrive from South Africa.
Aside from some little delay In mercantile col
lections there is practically no cause for com
plaint in the mercantile world. High tempera
ture has reduced retail stocks of summer fabrics
to such an extent that a fair supplementary
business has resulted, and thia has come at
such an unusually lato date that the entire dry
goods business Is improved from the dealer to
the manufacturer. There Is soino complaint re
garding the supply of currency of small de
nomination, and tho activity of business pro
vides a demand for money that can hardly ba
met, despite tho fact that tha circulation per
capita of $32 52 is above all previous records;
but It Is generally felt that when tho crops are
once fairly on their way to market tno situation
will be relieved. Thla may necessitate some
contraction of accommodation m speculative
channels, which would cause no regret outside
of Wall Street. International trade relations
grow more complicated as each week brings
a larger Increase In Imports than in exports.
More reports of injury to cotton by excessive
rain and statements of extensive damage by boll
weevil must be taken with the usual allowance
for the exigencies of those who purchased op
tions freely during tha recant decline and find
little comfort in the Increasing receipts of the
new crop. While it 13 evident that thi3 will
not bo a record breaking season, the yield prom
ises to be ample for all requirements. On the
other band. It is equally pertinent to note that
spot prices have already declined over 2 cents
in three months, and reports from domestic
spinners indicate that it will be a year of large
home consumption, While tho decrease In exports
during the crop year Just closing encourages
the belief that there are no excessive stocks
abroad. New crop options are now down to
less than 9 cents, which Is not high In relation
to the general position of commodity prices.
Some recovery from the lowest prices for wheat
may be attributed in part to Indications that
the movement from the farms was checked when
growers considered thai better terms might bo
secured by a little delay.
Shipments of boots and shoes from Boston In
the last few weeks have fallen slightly behind
the movement a year ago, but the total for 1906
is still more than 100.000 cases larger than
the highest record for any preceding year. In
addition to the large amount of fall and winter
business that the factories have had on their
books for some time, inquiries for spring- samples
indicate that the free movement will not end
with the present season. Despite the high level
of prices there are scarcely any efforts to secure
concessions. It being fully recognised that the
high record position of the hide market warrants
current quotatlona Textile mills are not only
well employed, but It Is the exception where
there Is not enough forward business to make
manufacturers Independent of the attitude of
buyers who claim that the recent fall In the raw
material market warrants better terms. Mod
erate advances have occurred In some divisions
of the iron and steel Industry, but are not of
sufficient size' to threaten any check to con
sumption. So many plants have sold their en
tire output up to the end of the year that there
can scarcely be any real change In the situation
until the extensive plants now in course of con
struction materially augment the productive
capacity.
Still, it will be some time before every one can
spell Just as he is "dispoged."
A much needed work has been undertaken by
the American Mining Congress in Its effort to
secure the enactment of laws against the ex
ploitation of worthless mining schemes. A com
mittee composed of Governor Pardee of Cali
fornia. Senator Dubola. of Idaho; Senator La
Follette. of Wisconsin; Governor Folk of Mis
souri and Representative E. W. Martin, of
South Dakota, has been named for the purpose
of framing a uniform law to be presented to the
legislatures of the Western states. The law on
this subject passed by the California Legislature
In 1905, which will probably serve as a model
for the proposed legislation, makes It a felony
for any officer of a corporation to circulate or
aid in the circulation of any wilfully and fraud
ulently exaggerated report of the value of tha
stock of that corporation, the penalty for such
an offence being imprisonment in a county Jail
or state prison for a term not excelling two
years, or a fine not exceeding $5,000. or both.
The law has worked well in California, the dis
tribution of many "faka" prospectuses having
been prevented by the issue of fraud orders, and
at least one notorious promoter having been sent
to the penitentiary. What California has done
other states should do. and restore legitimate
mining enterprises to the place in public confi
dence to which they are entitled, but from which
(fcaj :.4ve fallen in some measure, owing to tha
multitude of awlndllng promotion schemes by
which Investors have been deluded.

A constitution la a great change In Persia. Sir
John Malcolm. Ambassador to Persia one hundred
years ago, tells how the Shah Inquired into the
British government. Tho Elchee (Ambassador) ex
plained aa well aa he could. His majesty was
puzzled by tho liberty of tho subject and the lim
itations upon the King. "I understand all you have
said." he observed, and. after some reflection, ho
added: "Tour King Is, I see. only the first mag
istrate of the country " "Tour majesty." said tho
Elchee, "has exactly denned his situation.'' "Suck
a condition of power," said he. smiling, "has per
manence, but It has no enjoyment; mine Is enjoy
ment There you see Sullman Khan Kajir and sev

cut all their heads off; can I not?" said he. ad
dressing them. "Assuredly, Point ef Adoration of

"That Is real power.** said tho King: "but then It
has no permanence. When I am gone my sons will
fight for the crown, and all will be confusion: there
is. however, one consolation— Persia will be ger
erned by a soldier." Under a constitution tha Per

A THREB-FIGURB DIET.
t'Moseph Zeltlln. ef Brooklyn, who has Jnst celeirat'd

centenarians to drink plenty cf good wine, beer and
whiskey, to *at what they like, aad smoke all they want
to." — Dally Espr*S3.J
For many and many a y<sar hiva I tied gasjeffj
Down to a diet supremely severe:
Anything nice- havo I always denied myself.
Though my soul hampered for Sybarite cheer.
Thoughts of a ruined digestion affrighted mo;
Visions of premature funerals blighted me.
So that I shrank from whatever delighted me.
Natural longing o'ermastered by fear.
Throuirh all the four seasons I studied prodigiously
Chemical values of all kinds of fare:
I fed by a formula, followed religiously.
Welehlns each dram with a scrupulous cars.
Though appetite tortured me. little I heeded It,
Eating when science declared that I needed it.
Just the right quantity— never exceeded it—
"When had Hygeia a pupil so rare?
But somehow It happened, the more and more rjr-.
orous
Grew my adhesion to health-giving laws,
I found it was steadily growing less vigorous.
Daily grew nearer. I thought, to Death's Jaws.-
Gone was my youth with its pristine agility.
Nerves were a bundle of Irritability.
Driving me fast Into sheer imbecility.
Fingers and toea were as skinny as efgajsj
But hark to the voice of the hale •sa^sgajggaj
Prenchine a gospel of sugar and spteot
No longer I'll linger, a pale vegetarian.
Over milk puddings of sago and rioe.
Tn future I'll dare to detest what's detestable
Eating voraciously any comestible.
Never Inquiring If It is digestible- ~
Only considering whether it's nice.
