NEWSPAPER COLUMNITIS I'm up with a mind that’s open and free, And unprejudiced as a gnat, But I say, when Lippman’s stuff I see, “That's right! I feel like that!” I'm at my desk with a mental stance, And my political doubts are few, Till at Dorothy Thompson's mots I glance, And I say, “Here's the rational view!” Well, I'm off to the train with opinion set, My range fits my latitude, But when I read Broun in the night gazette I've a different attitude! Thompson, Hugh Johnson, Boake Carter and Kent, Lippman, Dave Lawrence and Paul Mallon I read and at bedtime I'm spent And have no outlook at all! —Dow RicHarpson. The pages of history are full of documents marked “Please burn this letter.” We are still pretty worried by the possibility of being “DON’T ASK ME WHY, BUT THE PAROLE BOARD SAYS sent to our maker by a 16-inch gun instead of a nice, legal LET HIM OUT’! 14.inch one. Honestly Tonight I love you more than any other, So be satisfied to have it just this way. For when the seasons change, I grow so restless, And—tomorrow is another day. When the Spring rains come, I gipsy with them. When the wild geese call, their caravan is gay— Tonight I'm with you, and I dearly love you, But—tomorrow is another day. —Puit Drupy. Longfellow Revised Listen, my children, and* you shall hear } Of the midnight ride of Paul Revere, As told with the rest of those stirring scenes In all of the Digest magazines: It must be cut and boiled down so: The midnight ride: “Gidda> — and Whoa!” “ONE OF MY ADMIRERS SENT IT, MA’AM!” —R.
