Boys, you have gone out from the
home circle into the rush and hustle Of
life, do you ever think OF home; of the
ratient mother, who is waiting to draw
you back to the vacant chair by the fire.
side? 1t matters not if you have grown
to sturdy manhood, you are still boy
to the mother; you are still counted
among the children of the old home and
nothing can crowd you out of mother
heart.
You may have failed in the battle OF
life, have lost caste in social and bust
ness circles, you may have stepped from
the path of rectitude, fallen out of the
line of responsibility, your manhood
crushed out against the wall of circum
stance, but you are still mothers boy
her prayers and tears have followed you
everywhere, and many the time she has
uttesed in the solitude of The old home,
Where is my boy tonight"
You may not have visited home fol
five, zen or more years, but all this time
mother is waiting for you We can de-
pict the agony expressed by the word
waiting. Perhaps only last night she
dreamed of Frank, and was happy in the
thought that "he may come tomorrow"
and her now trembling hands have pre-
pared one of tie tempting dishes he-
boy so relished when at home But
Frank came not. Week after week.
month after month passes and still he
does not come. At last "hope deferred
maketh the hesrt sick" Yes, sick unto
death; the feeble arms ars held out no
longer. The dim eyes are closed, the
silver hair smoothed for the last time,
and the tired hand folded for everlasting
rest; the mother waits no more on earth
for one who came not. Boys, you can
not afford to stay away from mother.
Go home, if only day or an hour. Let
mother know she is not forgotten. Her
days may now be drawing to a close,
next winter may cover her grave with
snow. Gro home boys and see mother

THE MILWAUKEE SENTINEL'S" BOARD
OF STRATEGY.

The motive, coloring. detail and gen.
eral treatment of the Sentinel's edito-
rial, The fool attack on Governor eco
field" in it's issue of Monday week last,
was, from journalistic standpoint,
magnificent. AS tactical diversion, by
flank attack, OF the attention OF its
readers from Assemblyman Halls fusil-
.lade on the governor and his ''franked"
COW, which appeared on another page
of the same issue, it was worthy of an
editorial Dewey, Grant or Farragut.
One would, indeed, be professionally
and personally of infnitesimal bore,
III newspaper man, not to yield un-
gr1dging admiration to this artistic gem
from the editorial studio. We must con-
fess that, during our entire career, we have
rarely seen its equal, certainly never it's
superior. Even The State aud the River
Falls Banner, the reconcentrados, pierced
by the editorial dart, will concede thus
much.
The Sentinel has, consistently, ab-
stained, editorialiy, from the slightest
tendency toward that fulsome eulogy OF
Governor Scofeld for parforming, in a
creditable manner, his plain official duty
in the equipment of the Wisconsin con-
Uingent of the army assigned to active
service, which has characterized, almost
universally, the administration press.
1t has, therefore, the right to casti-
gate, numerically, the papers named
above, which ave been guilty of the
opposite offense that of unfairly de-
detracting from the quiet approval
which any cnprejudiced citizen will,
cheerfully, give to any official who
has contributed to the undoubted eff
cheney of the state troops, now at the
seat of war.
In the editorial referred to, the SEN
tinel states that the papers cited are
the only ones, within it's knowledge,
guilty Of disparaging the admittedly
efficient services of the governor, in this
connection. The limited number OF the
offenders proves that the condition was
not acute. This fact, however, only throws
into greater relief the high character of
the strategical ability of the Sentinel's
editorial staff.
Is it not possible that another cut-
come of the war with Spain and the
Scofeld-Hall ''franked COW conflict will
be that our metropolitan dailies will Or
ganize permanent boards of Strategy"
in the editorial department? Is it not
also probable that strong representations
we're made to the offending papers, by
friends of Adiutant General BoardmaD,
in protest against his being deliberately
ignored by the governors eulogists
in the bestowal OF credit for the efficient
the organization and equipment of our
state troops? Would not such protest
be natural and pardonable, much as the
introduction of the merits or dement's
of "war governors" as factor in the
fall campaign is to be condemned and
deplored?

The unanimity with which the ma
chine republican organs yell "liarl
"villainr' at Assemblyman Hall, be-
cause of his honest and brave arraign-
ment of Governor Scofeld. is only
equaled by their caution in debarring
their readers of the opportunity OF
reading what Mr.. Halls charge actually
consists. Not one of them has dared to
place the articles before their readers
that they may Judge for themselves
Not one of them has dared to attempt q
refutation of Mr.. Halls second article
or allude to it in any manner. They
are the same sheets that howled "roster
scandal" at the Peck administration
