Unequal Sectional Representation.

To the Editor If The Evening Star:
After carefully reading your splendid edi-
tOrial upon Unequal Sectional Represen-
tation' / cannot refrain from writing to
compliment you upon the bold stand you
have taken upon this question. No loyal,
intelligent citizen of our country, in the
light of recent events. can stand back and
thrust this matter aside 1t will not
down but must be met and settled soon
er latcr-and settled right.
This is one of the questions that for years
has been kept in the background of poIit-
zeal consideration: and not only parties
have been unwilling to discuss 1t but news
papers and individuals as we'll have refused
TO give it that consideration that the oues-
ton and an oppressed people truly merit.
Surely If the negro is good enough to count
IN the matter of national representation he
is worthy of the rights and privileges guar
anteed by the Constitution. Such senti-
ments as you have SO ably and fearlessly
expressed Will not soon be overlooked and
your interested readers will watch for the
further consideration of this matter before
Congress. WASHINGTON TOPHAM

There were not enough doctors there
my own men, right after they were oper-
ated upon, having legs or arms amputa ed
or something of that sort, taken right out
in the jungle and leftsin the grass. Some
times l know they stayed there twenty
four or thirty-six hours, with leg or an
arm off, and with nobody to even come to
them to give them a drink of water. But
they had to be taken thers. There was no
where else to take them, and nobody to
take care of them.
The doctors were all doing their best and
working bravely as the soldiers IN the
trenches, but the treatment at the hospitals
was so hard upon thezmen that as soon as
possible men sent back to the hospital came
back to the front. L coHld not get my

me not to send any sick wounded men to

Subjects of Thought.

Any one may do casual act of good
nature but Il continuation of them
shows it is part of the temperament.
The man who is ever lamenting. new
er rejoicing. is playing Il part, for life
is neither constantly painful nor con-
stantly gay.
True nobility is ShowS by gentle con-
sideration and courtesy to all, and
brings its own reward in the extra fine
ness of perception its practice bestows.
The great duty of life is not TO give
pain; and the most acute reasoner can
not find an excuse for one Who volun-
tarily wounds the heart OF fellow
creature.
Teach self-denial. and make its prac-
tice pleasurable. and you create for the
world a destiny more sublime than
ever issued from the brain OF the Wild
est dreamer.
My experience leads me to believe
that the supply of poetry, or verse as
sumed to be poetry, is more egregiously
in excess of the demand than any other
description of literature.
Good resolutions are like vines. a
mass of beauty when supported on a
frame of good deeds, but very poor
things when allowed to lie unheeded
and unframed on the ground.
The agony of one age is the birth of
better life for its child, and every
martyr gains some good for those fol-
lowing. 1t is a CHASTITY struggle any
way one looks at it. but it is not mean
ingless nor fruitless. The day breaks
slowly; and the sun. as yet, hardly
picrces through the black cloud: but
the east is glowing, and the darkest is
past.
According to the design of Nature,
men should eat and drink that they
may live: but the voluptuous man only
lives that he may eat and drink. Ma
ture, in all sensual enjOyments, de-
signs pleasure, which may certainly be
had within the limits of virtue. but vice
rashly pursues pleasure into the enc
my's quarters, and never stops until
the sinner be surrounded and seized
upon by pain and torment.

a coy CAPTAIN.
4 Sixteen-Yenr-Old Skipper Piloted n
Fever Stricken ship.


With death walking the deck by his
side, short handed. officers dead or dis
abed with fever, for seven weeks of
disaster, danger and fear, a boy of six
teen years of age performed an act re-
curing rare force of will and charac-
ter in the South Seas recently. His
name is William Shotton, and he is
the son OF an English sailor.
The Trafalgar, his ship. four mast
ed bark of Loo tons, sailed from Ba-
tavia. with a cargo of petroleum. for
Melbourne. Australia.
Fever broke out among the crew even
before the ship left port, and Captain
Edgar was invalid The command de-
yolved upon the next in authority. Mr..
Roberts. but scarcely had the ship
weighed anchor, when he. too, was
stricken, together with several other
able-bodied members of the crew. The
ship carpenter next succumbed to the
fever, and on the same day Officer
Roberts leaped overheard in dclirium.
The entire charge of the ship there
upon devolved upon Shotton. Luckily
for all concerned. he was born of n
race of sailors and had received some
instruction in navigation.
For time the winds We're moderate,
but the fever still pursued its dead
course. and on Dec. : the cook died. the
sixth victim of the disease. Port Rairy.
Australia. was the first place sighted
for mainland. but this was by no means
the end of the boy captains troubles
a few days later fearful storm broke
out, and Shotton was of the opinion that
nothing could be done but run before il.
since to attempt to withstand it would
almost certainly mean destruction in
the weakened state Of the crew. All of
the crew who We're half fit for duty
We're ordered on deck and the neces-
sary steps were taken to put the shin
in order to carry out the decision. Day
and night the young captain was on the
bridge. giving his orders amid the aw
full tempest with GOODNESS and calm
ness which would have moved many 3,
gray-haired skipper to envy. Finally
the wind moderated and the vessel was
able to resume its journey to the Vic
tOrla coast.
