wouldn't BE a Peace Soldier.

The patriotism OF Charles r. Jacobs
of this city came to the surface yes.
terday in a manner that won the
favorable opinion of all the officers OF
The United States recruiting office
here. On Jan. 24 last Jacobs enlisted
with Capt Black and was assigned to
the Sixteenth Infantry. and sent at
once to Fort Sherman, Idaho, where
he remained for two months. Finding
the life of regular army private at
a remote frontier post irksome, he,
about the middle of March, took
"French leave" of the camp and made
tracks eastward as fast as possible.
According to his statement, he came
almost directly to his city, where he
has remained ever since. AS the local
officers never met him after his re-
turn, his presence in this city was rot
suspected and no watch was kept for
him especially.
Great was the surprise in the re-
cruiting Office yesterday morning
when brother-in-law of the young
man came to the Office and opened me-
gotiations with Capt. Black on the
part of the culprit for means whereby
he could return to his regiment.
Nothing definite was accomplished
at this interview, but in the afternoon
a sister of the recruit presented her-
self, and, after short talk, arranged
the matter satisfactorily to all con-
cerned, and in q few minutes after
she left the Office she returned with
Jacobs, who. in a talk with Capt.
Black, stated his desire 10 return to
aufy. Accordingly, that officer fur.
nIshed tho necessary transportation,
Md Jacobs Inst night left to rejoin his
regiment at Tampa with note in his
possession from Capt. Black giving
him all due credit for returning to his
duty in time Of war after deserving in
time of peace.
In view Of all the circumstances, 1t
is regarded as certain that the extept
of the punishment to be melted out to
Jacobs will be few days in the
guardhouse and a fine Of few dol
lars. Before leaving he expressed
himself as feeling easier In his mind
by tile knowledge that be was doing
his duty again. There is vast diff
ference In the penalty for desertlon in
time Of peace and in time Of war. At
present the penalty for desertion is death.

MY DEAR Son: You ask my
opinion on 'imperialism," So

you must correct mistakes, as You

and don't see well.
The United States has, alas (!

and we are abandoning the paths
and customs of our fathers. We
want to reach out and spread out

which the sun shall never set.
Pll tel you, my son, there are dan.

our Americanism ? Why, as Ameri.
cans we used to boast that our
governmental policies were the
best, and prided ourselves on the
TACT that American ideas Of gov
eminent, and our free institutions
were perneating every other GOV

not far off when other govern
ments would change and become
like ours. We condemned Euy.
lands colonial policies, and her
oppression and greed of empires:
but look, my son, what a change I
Now we have suddenly become
aware of the erroneousncss of our
views, and we have about l,come
willing converts to the English
