OH, WHY SHOULD THE SPIRIT OF
MORTAL BE PROUD2
William KNOX,
gNN7SH, why should the spirit of mortal be proud9
!xNE Like swiftheeting meteor, fast-fying cloud,
wv A flash of the lightning, break of the wave,
w(N Man passes from life to his rest in the grave.
The leaves of the oak and the willow shall fade,
Be scattered around and together be laid,
And the young and the DID, and the low and the high,
Shall mouder to dust and together shall e
The infant a mother attended and loved,
The mother that infants affection who proved,
The husband that mother and infant who blessed
Each, all, are away their dwellings of rest
The maid whose cheek whose brow, in whose eye
Shone beauty and pleasure, her trumphs are by,
And the memory of those who loved her and praised
Are alike from the minds of the living erased
The hand of the king that the sceptre hath borne,
The brow of the priest that the mitre hath worn,
The eye of the sage and the heart of the brave,
Are hidden and lost in the depths of the grave.
The peasant whose lot was to and to reap,
The herdsman who climbed with his goats up the Steep
The beggar who wandered in search of his bread,
Have faded away like the grass that we tread.
The saint who enjoyed the communion of heaven
The sinner who dared to remain unforgiven,
The wise and the foolish the guilty and just
Have quietly mingled their bones in the dust.
So the multitude goes like the flower and the weed,
That wther away to let others succeed;
So the multitude comes, those we behold,
To repeat every tale that has often been told
For we are the same that our fathers have been;
We see the sights that our fathers have seen;
We drink the and view the sum-
And run the same that fathers have
The thoughts we are thinking fathers would think;
the death shrinking from, they would shrink
To the life clngng to- they too, would cling,
But speeds from the earth like bird on the wing
They loved but their story cannot unfold
They scorned but the heart of the naughty is cod
They greved, but wall from their sumbers will come;
They joyed, but the voice of their gadness is dumb.
They dieday, they died and we things that are now,
Who walk on the turf that lies their brow,
Who make in their dwelling a transient abode,
Meet the changes they their pilgrimage road.
Yea, hope and dependency pleasure and pain,
Are mingled together in sunshine and rain,
And the smile and the tear, the song and the dirge,
Still follow each other like surge upon surge.
IT'S the twink of eye tits the draught of breath,
From the of % The of
- ~
From the gilded saloon the bier and the shroud
Oh, why should the spirit of mortal be proud?

TWO IN ONE

With commendable grace the two
Democratic members OF the Depart
mont OF Elections acquiesced In Re-
publican reorganization OF that body
for State election purposes, and even
participated in the election OF a Re
publican secretary when the three Re
publican members were unable 10
agree on man. In anticipation OF
Democratic resistance, a penal clause
was feature Of the bill which en-
larged the membership Of the depart
ment and severe penalties were pro
vided for a refusal TO recognize the
new members named Happily
the two Democratic members de-
mcaned themselves in such manner
that legal action was not rendered
necessary. J. IIadley Lewis Is the new
president, and Charles f. Thomas the
new secretary. Mr.. Lewis has am IN
innate acquaintance with local political
conditions and requirements, and Mr..
Thomas has been associated with the
department for so many years that
the secretar.al work will be easy by
reason of his natural ability and long
experience.
The old department Of three mem
bers. two Democrats and one Republi-
can. with a Democratic secretary, will
have charge OF the city elections until
such time as its form and political
complexion shall be changed by aD-
pointment or legislative enactment
the Republicans being unable 10 mus
ter the two-thirds vote necessary to
pass a bill affecting the city election
Therefore. the city has two Depart
ments OF Elections in one-a Demo
cratic body OF three members for city
election purposes, and Republican
body of 1ve members for State election
purposes

Desiring TO make certain important
Improvements in the park system dur

Park Commissioners has asked City
Council to authorize the immediate
sale Of $4,000 worth Of the bonds pro-
vlded under the sSO,O0O park loan bill
Ilssed by the recent Legislature and
since approved by the governor. The
request is reasonable, and City Council
should grant it without hesitation, for

the present officers Of the academy

that they greatly decreased the prac-

In the Council chambers in Kansas
City a few evenings ago a remarkable
scene was witnessed. The Franchise
Committee had reported in favcr OF
granting certain unpopular lnchises
to the Metropolitan Railway Company.
Determined citizens crowded the cham
bers, surged upon the floor, and many
coils Of rope were carried for purposes
of intimidation. The councilmen were
frightened so badly that they deferred
action on the report, and expected that
no end the matter. But before ad-
journment the protesting citizens COM
PEELED each councilman to stand on a
table and swear that he would vote
against the granting of the franchises
and the mayor was forced to swear that
he would veto the measures if passed.
When the sentiment of city is so
wide-awake as that, councllmen are
apt to conduct themselves with pro
priety.

DO the Addlcksites feel that IL is a
greater crime for Democratic senator
ial candidates to buy whiskey than II
is for Addicksites to buy votes? Their
present conduct reminds rs OF that
saying that
'When the devil was sick,
The devil a saint would be;
When the devil was well,
The devil a saint was he
We are glad that this whiskey-
Doodle controversy involves only

Great Britain and Japan seem to be
acting in concert against Russian ag-
gression in the far East, and It is
stated in a dispatch sent from Seoul,
the capital Of Korea, that the ministers
Of those two nations to Korea have
cautioned the emperor OF Korea to re-
main firm against Russian influence.
a Washington dispatch says that as a
result OF the protestations OF the
United States and British ministers
the Korean Government has reviewed
its adtion in summarly dismissing
from office McLeavy Brown, the Brit
ish director-general of Korean Gus
tens The State Department has re-
ceived a dispatch from Minister Allen
at Seoul, saying the matter had been
satisfactorily arranged. This is re-
gardcd at the State Department as
meaning that Mr.. Brown has been re-
instatod. In first reporting the action
OF the Korean Government, United
States Minister Allen said it was be-
lioved in Seoul to be due to Russian
intrigue. Count Cassini, the Russian
ambassador here denied this, saying
that his government had had nothing
TO do with the matter However this
may be. the protest OF the United
States. based on the injury Mr.. Browns
removal would work to American in
tcrests in the hermit kingdom, has had
the effect of obtaining his reinstate-
ment, and Russia's long desire for con-
troll OF Korea has been checked for the

NEWSPAPER OPINION
M'Kiuley In Delaware

F'rOm the Boston Journal.
We find it reported in an anti-ad-
lministratiOn newspaper that the ad-
Iministration interfering in the Della
ware contest on the Addicks side, by
giving or promising appointments TO
the friends Of Mr.. Addicks, and that
the Addicks managers are consequent
lly taking heart and are encouraging
themselves to believe that under the
lvlvfying effect OF this patronage, the
Legislature which has just adjourned
can be induced at o special session to
elect Mr. Addicks.
We should be slow TO believe this
report, even If It were not discredited
by the source from which IL emanates.
llt Is true that there is room for mis-
understanding in the matter OF ap-
ipOlntments from Delaware. POliti-
tcal usage gives considerable inilu-
cnce in appointments to the Senators
from a State when OF the same political
party as the administration. But Del
aware Is without senators. IL the
lnttil-ng Republican congressman from
= Delaware was consulted, he is one of
lMr. Addicks' supporters, his SYM
lpathics would naturally affect his rec
} Concentrations. Moreover, the ill-ad-
lVised recognition which was given to
Mr.. Addicks in the last National Re
publican Convention, for which we
have 10 thank Senator Hanna, puts
him in a certain position of prestige
which, If there were no off-setting con-
= federation, would make him influential
In questions Of appointment
But In spite OF all these circum-
lstances, which. as we have intimated
lcomhine to make it easy to misunder-
stand what is done in selections for ap-
: lnointment, we should be slow TO be
lieva that the administration has any
Lntention OF promoting the success O
lMr. Addicks' schomes through the dis
ltribution OF appointments The sim
,lple fact is that il is to Mr.. Addicks
- loverweening ambition that the Repub
q lican party owes tho loss OF its Oppc.'
