For three days the Senate has wrested
with the Bheppard prohibition rider to
the district appropriation bill, making
the national capital "dry" territory,
which requires suspension of the rules
before ft can be Voted upon.
Debate on (he district supply bill has
been -n aging for a week, preventing die
cusston of the Important ship-purchase
bill, which the President Insists must
become law at this session.
Senator Towneend has succeeded In
holding; up adoption of the conferenco
report on the Immigration bill, with the
literacy test, by objecting to the Senate
voting upon It Until that body ha dis
posed of his volunteer officers' retire
ment bill, which retires on half pay cer
tain officers who served during the Civil
War. Senator TtoblnsOn, who has clmrgo
of the Immigration report, today said
he would attempt to bring It up again
at tho first opportunity.
Until these measures are dliposed It la
apparent that the ship-purchase bill will
be "throttled" until next Monday at the
earliest

BALLADS OF RAPID TRANSIT
WOliDS BY FATIitOlC F. LAWLER
Chitf Maehlnitt PhUadetphla Ntvy Yard. ,
Thett tonga ioere written etpecially lor the great Rapid Transit
demonstration tonight, and will be iung by thoutands of Philadelphia
who will pack the Academy of Miittio to demand transit facilities.
Air.' "It'saLongWaytoTipperary"
' Into Phitadetphia came the P. R. T. one day,
For laying tracks on all the ttresle
It got tho right of way.
By making Us And siibwayt,
It htlpid bbth cast and west,
Now if it inxprdvee north and south,
It would surely suit us beat.
CHORUS
It's a long way to League Island,
When to work yoi must go;
t' a lottg way to have to walk there,
When the care art blocked by snow;
Then ydu itand there on the cdrner,
To move there is no use;
With but one line that you can take there,
And that's out bf juice.
Into directorship came a bright young man one day,
To settle transit problems
In a fair and honest way.
He needs our help to better things,
So help him if you can;
His middle riame ts Merritt,
A. M. Taylor it the man.
Let's have a quick election and vole for a big loan,
To place a tuoway on Broad street
That will take us quickly home.
We hope the Mayor and Councils
Will see their way quite clear,
To lend their efforts to the cause
For which we're gathered here.
Air: "Marching Through Georgia"
Sherman had an army and he marched it to the sea,
Over many obstacles and on to victory,
We hope that hist'ry will rcptat and successful ice shall be,
While we are marching for transit.
CHORUS
Hurraht Hurrahl We'll make the welkin ring,
Hurrah! Hurraht For transit we will sing,
We hope this march of progress success to us will bring,
While we are marching for transit.
Taylor has an army of a hundred thousand strong,
To back him up in all his plans to help tho cause along,
Each one bears petitions which will right a grievous wrong,
While we are marching for transit.
Each of us within his heart should feci a cixnc pride,
Keep our city to the fore and let success abide;
Since there's no flaw within the law, get Councils to decide
Right vow to give us rapid transit. -
Air: "When You're a Long, Long Way
From Home"
In this ioum the cars are running,
Run by a com.pa.ny that's cunning;
Just a little slow. "
They always go,
And that is true;
After work when you are weary,
You take a car and then feel dreary;
When the car does Stop,
Then off you hop,
i Us blocked anew.
CHORUS
When you're a long, long way from, home,
It makes you feel like you're alone,
It's hard to find a car or two
That can take you right straight through;
And then you phone your wife at home,
And then your voice rings in her car,
Then the wire is hot with cusses,
It's hard to have these fusses; '
i No other ears are near, ' '
With your fett and supper cold, -And
you're a long, long way from home.
In tome towns they're elevated,
Some havo subways celebrated,
. Which just goes to show,
I That we are elou,
But don't feel blue,
'Cause there's one who's always working,
For good transit whiah is lurking, ffli1
A. M. Taylor ia the man r
Who has the plan,
To tell to you,
CHORUS
When you're a long, long way from home,
It makes you feel like you're alo-ne,
It's hard to find a ear or two,
That can take you right straight through;
And when you're riding to the yard,
You hear a voice sing out to you,
To work you'll have to walk, sir,
The line's tied up, don't balk, sir; ,
Then you're docked an hour or two;
You are mad all through and fume,
And you're a long, long way from home.
