union cap, murmured: "God keep my

How often he recalled her words. He
could almost hear them now: "Go. You
are n traitor. Inever want to see your
face again."
The old man shook his head sorrow
fully. No, she would never forgive him,
not even now, after all these years.
Well, he would 60 back north on the
morrow, SO what matter?
He and the Ralston boys had been
college students together. He would
pay visit to their last resting place.
He opened the gate and slowly made his
way among the flower-covered mounds.
When he reached the Ralston lot he
looked about him sorrowfully. He felt
sadly desolate. He alone was left OF
oil those merry, laughing fellows.
Presently his eye wandered to q grave

scarcity Of its flowers drew his attten-

He started and then dropped upon his

We fall into ranks and we answer
To our names on the roll call: ''Herel"
But each year are our numbers fewer.
And still as the years go by
There are fewer and fewer to honor
The graves where our comrades lie.
Yet the blue May skies bend above US.
The flowers our full hands bear,
In wreath and In cross and In cluster.
Their same fresh spring beauty wear.
Time brings to them never such changes
As fall on each comrades head
Ere he lays down his burden and hastens
To Join the ranks Of the dead.
The tender and clinging green grasses
Have decked all the soldiers graves.
And the flag we fought for as guidon
In its starry gemmed glory waves.
They have given their life for its honor.
And therefore we come to-day
To bring them. In tender remembrance.
The laurel. the palm and the bay.
One by one shall our ranks be lessened.
One by one will our comrades pass
A they join the great silent army
In Its blvouac meath the grass.
It'll ut last shall we all be lying
In dreamiess and calm repose.
Beneath the summers sweet sunshine
Or the shroud OF the winters SHOWS.
But the tears of Nature above us,
In showers or in falling dew,
And the songs OF the birds around us
Shall come with their tribute true.
In the heart OF the great earth mother
Kept so close to her tender breast.
Till the last great reveille wakes us
We shall lie in our quiet rest.
But until the last summons calls us
We will march. at the bugle's note,
To the lowly mounds where our banners
In solemn remembrance float.
There we pause for moment In sorrow.
As each year, when this day draws nigh
We come with our hands full OF flowers
To the graves where our comrades lie.

The Dispensary.

The State dispensary has been furnishing
interesting reading for those WHO oppose tne
dispensary.
This newspaper. as far as we are acquainted
with the facts, is better satisfied with the ia"
than ever before.
The most Objectionable feature OF the sys.
tem-the beer privileges-has been aoohsheo'
and after the first of next month tne Deer
shops must close, and those VINO WISH 10
drink beer must thereafter 60 TO the State
dispensers to buy 1t.
Rpt the most assuring fact lies In the
determination OF the Board OF Control to Tree
the system from all irregularities.
For selling a bottle OF liquor contrary 10
orders chief clerk OutE has ben dismissed.
For lack Of precision in filling orders OF dis
pensers, and In substituting one liquor lot
another, and for placing the labels OF one
brand on the bottle Of another, and disregard
ing the xx's which indicated the strengeth oi
the liouor, Commissioner Douthit has been
removed.
While we are sorry for the gentlemen who
lost their Jobs, yet the Board OF Oontro''
they would command public commence
must REQUIRE strict obedience to their orders'
and their orders must be in strict compliance
with the law.
The fact that the offence Of the dispensary
officials has been made public, with no desire
to conceal anything, proves the determination
OF the Board to discharge its duty, and tnat
determination will command public conf
dence In their integrity.
One great good which will result TO tne
public in this law. rests in the Watchfulness
Of Its enemies. who seek every opportunity
to expose the slightest irregularity. This
watohfulness is very gratifying to the friends
Of the law.
II the law is enforced in slip-shod way
instead Of to the letter OF the law, 1t might De
brought into public contempt.
The revocation Of the beer privileges re-
moves the most Objectionable feature IN the
conduct OF the business. The granting OF the
beer privileges was contrary to the spirit oi
the law, and very discouraging to Its friends.

National Guard Promotions.

Columbus, O., Nov. 21.-Sentiment
among the rank and file of the Ohio
National Guard is strongly in favor of
inaugurating seniority as the guiding
principle in promotions. The present
opportunity when a Major General
and two Brigadiers are to be chosen,
is considered a good one to use for the
making of a precedent. For this rea-
son there is, general expectation that
the two ranking Colonels of the guard,
Colonel McMakin, of lie Sixth In
fantry, and Colonel Dick, of the
Eighth, will be recognized.
The Ohio military laws do not pro
vide for promotion by seniority, but
leave promotions absolutely to gener-
al elections.
Frequently these elections have re-
suited in promoting a Second Lieuten-
ant over a First Lieutenant, or max
ing a Major out of First Lieutenant.
In the majority of such cases it is
claimed, the esprit du corps of the reg
iment or company has been weakened.
Though his election would not be
strictly in line of promotion, it is tip
ped strongly that Adjutant General
Axline will have practically the solid
support of the guard for Major Gen
eral, and thus be enabled to round out
his career of some twenty years con-
nection with the guard.

their canals, and planned to appropri-
ate $70O0,0OO more. A proportionate
expenditure in the United States
would be ssOO,OO0,OOO No one sug-
gests such an outlay in this country,

ans have cheerfully faced a per capita
of $11 on waterways and are still
keeping up the pace. II they had own

canal today throughout its navlgable
length. The Mississippi points direct

1t can be connected with the lakes at
comparatively small cost. Its ade-
quate improvement, therefore, should
be begun by the present Congress and
pushed ;hrough steadily until a deep
channel is secured and properly mains
tained. The project is national in ev-

RAILWAY OFFICIALS
Meet and Consider Some important
Changes,

Wednesday was an important day in
local railroad circles. as the promin-
ent officials of every railroad entering
I. city held meeting here and con-
sldered many matters OF interest.
The B. & o. s. w. was represented
by the following gentlemen: l. G.
Rawn, General Superintendent; w H.
Brlmson, Superintendent of the Ohio
Division; d. D. Carothers, Engineer OF
Maintenance of Way; w. Archer, Di-
vision Engineer; Harry Kruse, private
secretary to Mr.. Rawn, and J. II.
Brown, city agent.
]. Hope Sutor Receiver; c. c. Har-
rison, General Freight and Passenger
Agent, and j. s. Gillespie, Master of
Transportation, were mere for the 2,
& o. r.
T. & o. c. E. representatives were
T. D. Dale, Receiver; William NJ.
Morse, General Superintendent, and
H. c. Vincent General Passenger
Agent
President Baldwin, of the c. K M,
accompanied by his secretary, Sumner
Garry, was also here.
A meeting of the officials was held
in Mr. Rawn's private car at the I'm
ion Depot, and the subject of rates for
car service was taken in consideration.
All of the roads represented entered
into an agreement to establish uni
form rates for car service. This was
the principal business considered by
the officials.
Later meeting of the B. & o. S. w.
officials and the Railroad committee Of
the City Council was held in Mr..
Rawn's private car and the B. & o. s.
w. propositions for improvement were
presented. 1t is understood that tho
railroad company wants a franchise to
extend their lines along Butler street
to Fifth, and in return they are to fill
Butler street from Front to Fifth,
placing a sinele tarck in the middle
with ten foot driveway on each side.
AS soon as the fill is completed, yards
will be established on the company's
property between Second and Third
streets. By these arrangements the
dangerous switching now being done
on Front and Second streets would be
done in the less travelled district east
of Second street. Thes propositions
together with other matters will be
presented to the City Council, probably
at their next meeting.
AS to the filling of the Ice Harbor
lot, the b. & o. S. w. people say that
they can not now consider that job
as they are already overcrowded with
work of that kind.
Mr. Rawn and his party left in their
private car at 1880 for the East, and
the C. & NJ. and H. & o. R. officials
went home over their respective roads
in the afternoon.
The meetings were of considerable
Importance to Marietta and their re-
suits will be watched with more than
ordinary interest.

McLean's New Ambition,

BY implication, at least John R.
Mclean acknowledges his prospective
candidacy for Vice President on the
Democratic ticket next year. That is,
ne will not deny the rumor, button the
contrary. rather takes pride in the
fact That an influential newspaper in
the West printed few days ago a
long story about his possible candi
dacy. A Washington evening news
paper today carries a telegram from
Cleveland making specific statements
respecting the Mclean Vice Presi-
Dental candidacy, and charging that
1t is this candidacy which has impelled
Mr., Mclean to rent a residence in
Cincinnati. with intent to make that
CITY his legal and actual home for the
coming year. ", hen shown this dis
patch tonight, Mr. Mclean said:
We'll. now, really, the Democratic
National Convention must settle all
such matters as that, and it would not
be proper for me to discuss it. Be
sides you know l have just been
knocked out over in Ohio-a regular
one, ,wo, three, four, five, six, seven
eight, nine and out affair, as they
would say at the ringside-you've
been there? Yes? Well, you know
how it is. I'm simply not in it now
head the Ohio election returns and
you will see that am magnificent
ruin, politically. That being the case
how could you expect me to be a can
didate for Vice President? The whole
matter has been thrashed but anyway,
and there is nothing new in the pres
ent story that may be candidate for
Vice President"
4dr. McLean's declination to give
posotive answer to the question of his
candidacy leaves but one fair infer
ence. 1t was exactly in the same man
ner that he discussed-or, rather, re-
fused to discuss-his candidacy for the
nomination of Governor of Ohio un-
til within a short time of the conven-
tion.-Washington Cor. Gin. Com.

Women Less Guilty Than
Men.

Modern sociologists who hold that
woman is the equal of man in GRIM
inality have been effectually disposed
of by the Investigations of Professor
Mantegazza in recent review article.
The theory is so decidedly at variance
with facts known to the most ordin-
airy observer that it is difficult to un-
derstand how it could ever have been
advanced as a reasonable hypothesis.
1t is highly creditable to the gentler
sex that in every county Jail in the
State, female offenders are very rare.
Here are some of the results of Pro-
fessor Mantegazza's Investigations:
Man bears false witness 100 times to
a woman's II.
Man for forgery and counterfeit
coming was convicted 100 times to a
woman's II.
In France women are summoned
before the tribunals four times less
than men.
In France in 1880 women delln-
quents were IA to 100 men.
In Italy in the same year they were
only per cent.
In Algeria we have SO male delin-
quents and only women.
In England and Wales between 1884
and 1912 there We're "a women to 100
men, all for the more serious offenses.
In 1871 DR.. Nicholson found in the
prisons of England S,21S men and
1,217 women.
In Bavaria from 1862 to 1866, in a
population consisting solely of peas
ants, the women who were condemned
were in proportion 2 9to 100 men.
In the prisons of Turin from 1871 to
1884 the women in respect to men are
represented by a figure of 1857 per
cent.
In European prisons the proper
tion Of male prisoners to female is as
five to one. In this country it is be-
lieved that less than twenty per cent
of the violators of the law are women.
Yet man attempts to dodge his own re-
sponsibilities in most instances by
playing Adams old trick and claiming
chat woman was responsible for his
THE woman in the case"
is a standing excuse with most men,
who fall from high positions and come
to occupy a felon's cell. Women's
weakness is her surest defense against
active participation in criminality.-
