YeB, It ii worth while to live Just to Bee the "Oreen things growing," and wbat a wonderful swing, rythm and muelc tbere is through this poem. A <aiBt andertone of the minor chord, as there ever most be In all flfle poems and sweet music. And yet it is here so faint and dreamUke that we seek and ilhten tor it, rather than "itrlvlng to shun it.
There is an old building in the city almost deserted, and going into ruins. And yet I aometlitieBgo out of my way lust to look at the worn threshold nnd tbe rnsttag knob. And the reason Is because ome I lore, crosaed thfl worn tntrai»c« BO saany times, and bis hand touched the bronted knob almon ^ally for years. It matters little whether it has a "soft meandering Spanish aumf." or la only a l-it of oW metal so that It haa been sanctlfled by the dose ,--.v. ii'j ot Bome one we love.

THE FLOWER'S NAME.
llere'B the garden she walked acroee,
Arm in my arm, such a short while alnce.
Hark! now I push its wicket, the moss
Hinders the hinges, and makes them wince.
fche must have reached this shrub 'ere she turned,
As back with tbat murmur the wicket swung;
For she laid tbe poor snail my chance foot spumed.
To feed and forget it, the leaves amonf^
" Down thlB side of the gravel walk "
She went whlle-her robe's edge brushed the box;
And here she paused in her gracious talk
To point me a moth on the milk-white phlox,
Kofaes ranged in a valiant row, 1 will never think that she passed you by!
She loves you, noble roses I know; ..But yonder see where the rock-plants He!
\>,
This flowtr she stopped at ,flnger on lip,—
I'tooped over, in doubt, as settling its claim;
Till sae rave me, with pride to make no slip,
Ils soft, meandering Spanish name.
What a name! Was it love or praise?
Speech half asleep, or song half awake?
I must learn Spanish one of these days
Only for that slow, sweet name's sake.

GREEN THINGS GROWING.
Oh the green things growing, the green things growing,
The faint, sweet smell of the green things growing!
I should like to live, whether I smile or grieve,
Just to watch tbe happy life of my green things growing.
tbe fluttering and tbe puttering of those green things growing! How they talk pach to each, when none of us are knowing;
In the wonderful white 6f tbe wierd moonlight,
" Or the dim, dreamy dawn when the cocks are crowing.
I love, I love them so—my green things growing!
And I think that they love me, without false shewing;
For by many a tender touch, they comfort me so mucb,
With the Bcfi, mute comfort of green things growing.
And in tbe rich stone of tbeir blossoms glowing
Ten for one I take they're on me bestowing;
Oh, 1 should like to sec, jf .Gud's will it may be.
Many, many a summer of my green things growing!
But if I muEt be gathered for the angels' soaring,
Sleep out of Bight awhile, like tbe green things growing,
Though duPl to dust return, I think I'll scarcely mourn,
If I may change into green things growing.

APPEAL TO TRE BOARD OF ALDERMEH
AH Compulsory Vaccination Must Be Resisted and Prohibited
The Board of Aldermen is perhaps the closest and truest representative of the People in our City Government today and has" now at its' heSd a van who Is generally recopnized as one of the most aWe, conscientlons and popular Citizens in our ctt.v
And notwithstanding the efforts whieh have been made for years past to reduce or abrogate the power of this closely repreaentative bedy in en: city governmnt, it Is ptill quite potent In many ways to protect the people from grave and serious wrorgs worked by powerful, selfish and Intereatel cliques under the pretence of great public good.
This Board has (hertfore ample power to protect the people from ob*<' of th« most dangerous pvUs Jn our body politic today, vie., the' barbarous ¦levil worked by great medical organizations in forcing dangerous compulsory ni>)di«al operations ard diseases on tbe people and particularly on little school children, undtT the pretence of its absolute necessity for public heajlth to prevent «imallpox epirtemirs, but which in fact, now causes more dis¬ ease and death ihan natural smallpox itself, as I have repeatedly proved fJom the highest statistical authority In the world.
I have received complaints from all over the city that working people are lieing c^oerced in'.o vaccination against their will under the illegal and criminal threat of being discharged from their employment if they refuse to «;uhmit to this illegal and criminal in tiraidatlon and coercion, and that the great Catholic Clergy of this city and the teachers in charge of Parochial riichools in dIBerent parts of the rlty are also made to l)€lleve by health board doctors and nurses that they must submit to the compulsory vaccination of the school children under their charge and that the evil vaccination law, which applies to public pchools only (Snd which medical societies originally forced on the people), al.io applies equally to parochial and private schools, and ^that many, parentu, priests and pupils are being thus deceived by this medical falsehood and coercion,
• The Board of /. Iderment has now full power, however, under Sectloa s 43 and 4+ of the City Charter, to come to the relief of the people and stoa Ithis shameful and danKerous medical coercion and deceit by immediately passing an ordinance with the penalty of a heavy flne or imprisonment to tbl- effect, vizr—
That no eraplovee bf the city govemment and no doctor or other person shall attempt to vaccinate any child or adult in this city without flrst carefully explaining to ihem that such Vaccination is not legally compulsory In any senHP and will not be performed on any person unless such person lully and freely consents to the same or has the full consent of parent or rruardlan.
And all our doctors and other citizens should know that any vaccination done under any other conditioas by any force, deceit, coercion or in¬ timidation, without full free will and consent, is condemned by the declelons of our highest courts and is illegal and criminal under our laws and will leave the illegal vaccinator, or the city Itself, liable to a suit for damages, 'jee also Sections of the Tenal Code under the headings of Assault, Conspiracy, and Coercion,
About two years ago application was made by tho Board of Health to thn Board, of Aldermea for a large appropriation of |16,0*0'for a genera! vaccination of the people uhder the pretence of fear of an alleged smallpov rpidomio hecause a few cases of mild smallpox were foirtd in this great citv of five millions population; but the Board wisely refused that application and that needless waste of public money on a process health Of spreading'diseast* and doath deliberately In the, population, and then the Board wisely held that such operations w«>re not necessary for pnblio health or to iMiBvent smkl'- pox epidemics, but were really Injurious to publio health on the average and in the lons run Nothing more was heard of any further smallpox scares imtil this year, when it Las heen attempted to get up another scare and a general vaccination raid upon Ihe people and our medical panic-mongers have this time succeeded in getting 87,000, about half the sum formerly asked for. not from t he Board of Aldermen, tiut from the Board of Estimate, under a mlatak<)n and misinformed eeal for the public good.
Now, such false smallpox panics and vaccination raids have very little result for public uood, particularly in this instance, where the raidAnd ex¬ penditure have been .ipplled chiefly to the children In our Parochial Schools who have been left for years without any compulsory-vaccination abd'Who, as statistical facts show, bave been as free from smallpox and all other diseases, if not much freei, than our public school chlldr«n under esnitan: .compulsory vaccinatioH. And the folly of wasting this public money for the barbarous purpotr of deliberately diseasing healthy school children by this dangerou-3 operation of vaccination becomes fully apparent when the experience of many past years shows that these school children have been in no appreciable way fctib.lect to or affected with smallpox and that they b^fong In fact to that a^e rlass In the population which is least subject to small¬ pox, or only about 1-10 as much so as the infant and the adult ages!
That such false medical scares and raids, however, result In great profit to the vaccinatint; irofession ahd to the vaccine mantifactursrs and drug trade, in alliance with each other In this matter, can be-Vf>ry easily proved and la even obvioii.-i on its face, although our blR. pompons'doctors and powerful medical «ooieti«s try very hard to persuade the trusting public to the contrary that '\u- medical interests do not profit by tbese schemtN but that they are quite unselfish about them.
Wc can, however, easily prove the contrary Ahd condemn these men cfit of their own mouths .md with their own admissions,'at^ follows: In a previous article I have said that such raids and panics In excitl-ng and forcing thc peupN- to general vaccination simply cause Oold lo flow into the coffers of the doctors like WateV, and now I ask public attention to the neat contesslon of this very fact from our Health Commtasloiter, Dr. Gold iwater himself. In the weekly Bulletin of our Board of Health dated May Oth on I'age 145. On this page Dr. Goldwater tells us:
"A careful survey was made to determine the need for vaccination In New York City. ' * * * As a result of this survey wholesale vac¬ cination has been ur^ed, • • * • A number of large business houses and corporations havo had or will have their pmployees vaccinated. Physfcians report an unprecedented demand for vaccioation en the, part of the well-to-do classes who have apparently awakened to tbe need of selt-protec-
tion."
m
From this we can readily see how profitable It is for the doctors and the vaccine makers lo thus excite and force the people to resort to gen¬ eral vaccination to give tbem-alleged protection from an alleged dangerous disease which they have perhaps Iss reason to fear than any other and which ordinarily kills far lets people every year tban llghtniBg; and when our big UUBinees establishments !u>d our great corporatioas and also the ^wsIl-toKlo classes" all show such an ''unprecedented demand" for vaccination at one to t^wo dollars or more p*<. *»"". according to tbeir standing In tbe "wSU-te4o' clasBes!
1 also wish lo (.Illl attention to the brazen way in which some of our big doctors in private iiractice try to deceive themselves and 4be puWic oa (this very point No less em'nent doctor of this city than Dr. Simon Baruch lis quoted by our CommlJtloner Goldwater In the Health Board BulloCIn, (oi "May 16th on Page ItA, lo thow the dlslntereatadnesB of our doctors In this matter and the alleged folly and error of the honest and fully Informed men who are now opposing these false medical panics and raids and condemning all compulsory vaccination as one of the greatest public evils of our day.
Dr. Goldwater on the page of the official Bulletin above referred td has the refreshing fciiuplkity to quote this astonishing piece of medical humbui; from our great Dr. Kimon Baruch, as follows:
"How absuid Is their claim that the motive operating In'favor or vaccinating Is to Inc.-fasc the fees of vaccinating doctors may be realtz«d by any unprejudiced person who will calculate that the fees from 200 vaccinations would not equal the fee that one case of smallpox would yMld."
Now, Dr. Fimon Baruch know very well when he first uttered this false nonsense in thc Evening Sun of May Bth,'wherein he trted to dlscrMIt ou- honest work in opposlns rll compulsory vaccination, that he, as an eminent private practitioner, would make from 200 private vaccinations at least $200 directly, and possibly much more Indirectly by services needed later on to look after some \ery bad or dangerous arms that would be sure to result from these 200 vaccinations with the virus made by the New York Health Board, v^hich is known to be oue of the most severe in use. And he aUo well knew that as a private practitioner for the ¦well-to-do" classes he could not mak^one cent on a case of smallpox Which, as soon as discovered, he would have to report under penalty of heavy flne and which would then be taken entirely out of his hands to the isolation hospital! .Yet this is tho hind of brMen bum- bug and "unselfish" medical "truth" that our Health Commissioners and our eminent doctors give to the people In supporting their dangerous barbarism of widespread compulsory disease, which Is really so profitable to them but which nevertheless now kill? more children than amallpox and wbieb sbocklng fact is now concealed in our vital statisticB. all fully controlled and dominated by our vaccinating ooctors in City and State and by our bigbly and pow¬ erfully organized and capiiallzed medical societies who have originated and persistently maintained against public will tbis whole system of compulsory vaccination and who are wholly responsible for it.
I therefore not only now call on our Board of Aldermen directly for relief from this shameful and danKerous medical coercion Of tbe. people, as here f-uggcsted,, but also suggest to all workmen and to all parents of pupils lu our parochial and othir schools and to the Catholic Clergy afld to the teachers having charge of said schools now Buffering from this coercion that they should apptal ,it once to their local Alderman for action ia tbla mas¬ ter as herein suggested, and thus put an end to this evil medical barbarism and danger in this city in the near future, pending the entire repeal and vro- hlbitlon of all compulsory vacclnationlihevory shape and form by the SUte legislature.

WARNIN6 TO VlfiO^NATORS Al^D APPEAL TO TRE BOARD OF ALDERMEH AH Compulsory Vaccination Must Be Resisted and Prohibited The Board of Aldermen is perhaps the closest and truest representative of the People in our City Government today and has" now at its' heSd a van who Is generally recopnized as one of the most aWe, conscientlons and popular Citizens in our ctt.v And notwithstanding the efforts whieh have been made for years past to reduce or abrogate the power of this closely repreaentative bedy in en: city governmnt, it Is ptill quite potent In many ways to protect the people from grave and serious wrorgs worked by powerful, selfish and Intereatel cliques under the pretence of great public good. This Board has (hertfore ample power to protect the people from ob<' of th« most dangerous pvUs Jn our body politic today, vie., the' barbarous ¦levil worked by great medical organizations in forcing dangerous compulsory ni>)di«al operations ard diseases on tbe people and particularly on little school children, undtT the pretence of its absolute necessity for public heajlth to prevent «imallpox epirtemirs, but which in fact, now causes more dis¬ ease and death ihan natural smallpox itself, as I have repeatedly proved fJom the highest statistical authority In the world. I have received complaints from all over the city that working people are lieing c^oerced in'.o vaccination against their will under the illegal and criminal threat of being discharged from their employment if they refuse to «;uhmit to this illegal and criminal in tiraidatlon and coercion, and that the great Catholic Clergy of this city and the teachers in charge of Parochial riichools in dIBerent parts of the rlty are also made to l)€lleve by health board doctors and nurses that they must submit to the compulsory vaccination of the school children under their charge and that the evil vaccination law, which applies to public pchools only (Snd which medical societies originally forced on the people), al.io applies equally to parochial and private schools, and ^that many, parentu, priests and pupils are being thus deceived by this medical falsehood and coercion, • The Board of /. Iderment has now full power, however, under Sectloa s 43 and 4+ of the City Charter, to come to the relief of the people and stoa Ithis shameful and danKerous medical coercion and deceit by immediately passing an ordinance with the penalty of a heavy flne or imprisonment to tbl- effect, vizr— That no eraplovee bf the city govemment and no doctor or other person shall attempt to vaccinate any child or adult in this city without flrst carefully explaining to ihem that such Vaccination is not legally compulsory In any senHP and will not be performed on any person unless such person lully and freely consents to the same or has the full consent of parent or rruardlan. And all our doctors and other citizens should know that any vaccination done under any other conditioas by any force, deceit, coercion or in¬ timidation, without full free will and consent, is condemned by the declelons of our highest courts and is illegal and criminal under our laws and will leave the illegal vaccinator, or the city Itself, liable to a suit for damages, 'jee also Sections of the Tenal Code under the headings of Assault, Conspiracy, and Coercion, About two years ago application was made by tho Board of Health to thn Board, of Aldermea for a large appropriation of 16,00'for a genera! vaccination of the people uhder the pretence of fear of an alleged smallpov rpidomio hecause a few cases of mild smallpox were foirtd in this great citv of five millions population; but the Board wisely refused that application and that needless waste of public money on a process health Of spreading'diseast* and doath deliberately In the, population, and then the Board wisely held that such operations w«>re not necessary for pnblio health or to iMiBvent smkl'- pox epidemics, but were really Injurious to publio health on the average and in the lons run Nothing more was heard of any further smallpox scares imtil this year, when it Las heen attempted to get up another scare and a general vaccination raid upon Ihe people and our medical panic-mongers have this time succeeded in getting 87,000, about half the sum formerly asked for. not from t he Board of Aldermen, tiut from the Board of Estimate, under a mlatak<)n and misinformed eeal for the public good. Now, such false smallpox panics and vaccination raids have very little result for public uood, particularly in this instance, where the raidAnd ex¬ penditure have been .ipplled chiefly to the children In our Parochial Schools who have been left for years without any compulsory-vaccination abd'Who, as statistical facts show, bave been as free from smallpox and all other diseases, if not much freei, than our public school chlldr«n under esnitan: .compulsory vaccinatioH. And the folly of wasting this public money for the barbarous purpotr of deliberately diseasing healthy school children by this dangerou-3 operation of vaccination becomes fully apparent when the experience of many past years shows that these school children have been in no appreciable way fctib.lect to or affected with smallpox and that they b^fong In fact to that a^e rlass In the population which is least subject to small¬ pox, or only about 1-10 as much so as the infant and the adult ages! That such false medical scares and raids, however, result In great profit to the vaccinatint; irofession ahd to the vaccine mantifactursrs and drug trade, in alliance with each other In this matter, can be-Vf>ry easily proved and la even obvioii.-i on its face, although our blR. pompons'doctors and powerful medical «ooieti«s try very hard to persuade the trusting public to the contrary that '\u- medical interests do not profit by tbese schemtN but that they are quite unselfish about them. Wc can, however, easily prove the contrary Ahd condemn these men cfit of their own mouths .md with their own admissions,'at^ follows: In a previous article I have said that such raids and panics In excitl-ng and forcing thc peupN- to general vaccination simply cause Oold lo flow into the coffers of the doctors like WateV, and now I ask public attention to the neat contesslon of this very fact from our Health Commtasloiter, Dr. Gold iwater himself. In the weekly Bulletin of our Board of Health dated May Oth on I'age 145. On this page Dr. Goldwater tells us: "A careful survey was made to determine the need for vaccination In New York City. ' * * * As a result of this survey wholesale vac¬ cination has been ur^ed, • • * • A number of large business houses and corporations havo had or will have their pmployees vaccinated. Physfcians report an unprecedented demand for vaccioation en the, part of the well-to-do classes who have apparently awakened to tbe need of selt-protec- tion." m From this we can readily see how profitable It is for the doctors and the vaccine makers lo thus excite and force the people to resort to gen¬ eral vaccination to give tbem-alleged protection from an alleged dangerous disease which they have perhaps Iss reason to fear than any other and which ordinarily kills far lets people every year tban llghtniBg; and when our big UUBinees establishments !u>d our great corporatioas and also the ^wsIl-toKlo classes" all show such an ''unprecedented demand" for vaccination at one to t^wo dollars or more p<. »"". according to tbeir standing In tbe "wSU-te4o' clasBes! 1 also wish lo (.Illl attention to the brazen way in which some of our big doctors in private iiractice try to deceive themselves and 4be puWic oa (this very point No less em'nent doctor of this city than Dr. Simon Baruch lis quoted by our CommlJtloner Goldwater In the Health Board BulloCIn, (oi "May 16th on Page ItA, lo thow the dlslntereatadnesB of our doctors In this matter and the alleged folly and error of the honest and fully Informed men who are now opposing these false medical panics and raids and condemning all compulsory vaccination as one of the greatest public evils of our day. Dr. Goldwater on the page of the official Bulletin above referred td has the refreshing fciiuplkity to quote this astonishing piece of medical humbui; from our great Dr. Kimon Baruch, as follows: "How absuid Is their claim that the motive operating In'favor or vaccinating Is to Inc.-fasc the fees of vaccinating doctors may be realtz«d by any unprejudiced person who will calculate that the fees from 200 vaccinations would not equal the fee that one case of smallpox would yMld." Now, Dr. Fimon Baruch know very well when he first uttered this false nonsense in thc Evening Sun of May Bth,'wherein he trted to dlscrMIt ou- honest work in opposlns rll compulsory vaccination, that he, as an eminent private practitioner, would make from 200 private vaccinations at least $200 directly, and possibly much more Indirectly by services needed later on to look after some \ery bad or dangerous arms that would be sure to result from these 200 vaccinations with the virus made by the New York Health Board, v^hich is known to be oue of the most severe in use. And he aUo well knew that as a private practitioner for the ¦well-to-do" classes he could not mak^one cent on a case of smallpox Which, as soon as discovered, he would have to report under penalty of heavy flne and which would then be taken entirely out of his hands to the isolation hospital! .Yet this is tho hind of brMen bum- bug and "unselfish" medical "truth" that our Health Commissioners and our eminent doctors give to the people In supporting their dangerous barbarism of widespread compulsory disease, which Is really so profitable to them but which nevertheless now kill? more children than amallpox and wbieb sbocklng fact is now concealed in our vital statisticB. all fully controlled and dominated by our vaccinating ooctors in City and State and by our bigbly and pow¬ erfully organized and capiiallzed medical societies who have originated and persistently maintained against public will tbis whole system of compulsory vaccination and who are wholly responsible for it. I therefore not only now call on our Board of Aldermen directly for relief from this shameful and danKerous medical coercion Of tbe. people, as here f-uggcsted,, but also suggest to all workmen and to all parents of pupils lu our parochial and othir schools and to the Catholic Clergy afld to the teachers having charge of said schools now Buffering from this coercion that they should apptal ,it once to their local Alderman for action ia tbla mas¬ ter as herein suggested, and thus put an end to this evil medical barbarism and danger in this city in the near future, pending the entire repeal and vro- hlbitlon of all compulsory vacclnationlihevory shape and form by the SUte legislature.
