1t is fortunate both on personal and
ON party grounds that but one candi-
date for the Republican legislative
nomination has registered in the
Fourth district, end he a young man
so ponular and so deserving of undi-
vided support as =. A. Philbin of Arch
bald. Ordinarily this district is a close
one politically, but with Mr.. Philbin on
the ticket. and with the earnest sup
port of his friends. it's restoration to
the Republican column is assured. Mr.
Philbin, 10y his graceful action four
years ago in declining to make a con-
test in convention against the major
ity choice, exhibited the kind of Re-
publicanism which the people Of that
district like to see. and they will well
come with. satisfaction the opportunity
to confer honor upon him at both the
primary and the general elections.

TOMMY ATKINS.

Here's health to Tommy Atkins Thomas A.,
himself, alone,
As he waits there all attention close up to the
firing zone.
He may not be in dispatches as he wears no
titled tag;
And the gods OF war may use him as a school OF
soldier fag;
But when bullets clip the heather, care ] not for
tribe elan.
And that danger chums with duty, Tommy At.
kins is your man.
don't mind what brogue he carries where the
flames OF battle belch,
Be it Canada Or English, be it Irish, Scotch or
Welsh.
| don't care because his banner wears within its
crown
Or perchance so.called republics have for him a
deadly frown.
He's an Anglo.Saxon brother; trot up better il
you can
Thar the boys OF Modder River; than the men
of San Juan.
lie may be Jolly hunter, although whiskers are
his game;
He may stalk the Kruger beauties where Out
landers stake their claim;
lie may strut from being prouder than his sta
tion might admits
He may walk as if his trousers were shrunk
down on him to fit:
IIo may brace his spirits skyWard from the brand
in the Cantcen;
But be not severe with Atkins; land and oceans
intervene.
Then health TO Tommy Atkins Britisher from
crown to heel;
For his flag and his honor. for his sweetheart
true as steel
You may not revere his nation, you may love
his Boerish foe,
You may think the fight unequal, you may think
more than you know;
But thing you can remember, in the far
Manila bay
The flag of Tommy Atkins saw that Dewey had
fair play.

SO far as army conditions in the vicn-

is entitled to respect. Those who would
abolish all intoxicating drink should
have no quarrel with system which
does lha nearest practicable thing in

made for the army canteen by a large
majority Of the officers of our army.
