THE BOER WAR.

From the Parkersburg Sentinel
The British war office is in a
maze of difficulties over the African
situation.
Kitchner wants several things,
among them more mules, more men
and more money, and a special
dispensation giving him authority
to hang Beers charged with treason
or other imaginary crimes without
reference to the home government.
The war ministry of England wants
$50 millions more of money for
Boer war purposes, and bonds are
to be issued to that amount. They
can be sold, of course. 25, 900
more men are also wanted, but how
and where to get them, presents
even more serious question than
the money problem.
The young men able to fight re.
fuse to enlist, and it seems that
CONSUMPTION or draft will be un.
avoidable if the army is to be
recruited as Kitchener wishes.
But even a worse situation than is
here outlined is brought up before
the British government by the hun
dreds of public meetings advertised
to be held throughout England TO
protest against the further continu.
ance Of the war of determination in
Africa. The people Of England are
aroused as they never were before
against the inhumanities Of their
own government, and they are pre-
pairing to enter a solemn protest
that cannot be misunderstood
against the further prolongaGon OF
an unjust and disastrous war.

THE DAYS THAT ARE PAST.

while serving time in the pen
itenhary Cole Younger, the notori-
Gus outlaw, now out on parole,
wrote a poem of rare merit. Cole
and his brother, Jim, were recently
pardoned after serving twenty years
in the Saltwater, Minnesota, State
prison. The following are few OF
the stanzas from this poem j
IT'S twenty years and more, Jim,
Since we breathed the air of home
Or gazed upon the hills and wales
We loved so oft to roam.
How offwe climbed the rugged hills
To view the landscape fair,
And barred our heads to the gentle
breeze
Our own dear native air.
Methinks the flowers bloom more
fair,
The birds have songs more sweet,
Where climbs the jasmine DER the
door,
Once trailing at our feet.
The sunshine falls on the hills, Jim,
With the glad light of yore-
Twenty years have dreamed of it,
jim
Shall we see its sunshine no more?
One grim, old cliff have in mind
That stands majestic, grand,
While far below the fair Usage
Sweeps DER her silver sand.
There countless names are carved
with ours,
Where we have stood with awe,
And gazed upon its marble face,
Near dear old Monegaw.
The light of home CLEANS bright,
Jim,
Through the mist of twenty years,
Is that what dims our eyes, Jim,
Or can it be our tears7
Nay, do not turn aside, Jim,
/ do not deem you weak
Full well | know that dauntless
heart,
Though tears be on thy cheek.
Among those bonny hills of home
There's many friend today
Would joyful give us welcome sweet
With faithful wait alay.
But there's better land than this,
Where shadows never fall,
Where gates of pearl inviting stand,
Gods sunlight over all.

FOUR MAGAZINES FOR THE PRICE
OF ONE

Last season the magazine Sue
CESS of New York City conducted
remarkable subscription campaign
by means of series of unusual
clubbing offers, and this year
more attractive list and even lower
prices are announced. Those who
formerly have taken but a single
periodical at cost ranging from
81. SO to IS. 90 can now secure from
two to four for the same price alone.
The wide popularity of the sue
CESS clubbing offers may be esti-
mated from the fact that nearly
800, 900 people took advantage of
them during the subscription season
beginning last autumn, and those
who wish TO make the most of their
magazine money, will surely avail
themselves of the present exception
al opportunity. The offers would
not be possible save for the CO.
operation of several periodicals in
oae advertisement, thus effecting a
material saving TO all concerned
especially to magazine readers. The
list from which selections may be
made includes, SUCCESS, The
Review of Reviews, The Cosmopol-
lian, Frank Leslie's Popular Month
ly, Current Literature, The North
American Review, The New Eng.
land Magazine, Leslie's Weekly,
The Household, Good Hcusekeep-
ing and The Designer. Details re-
garding the periodicals and low
club prices may be cleaned from an
announcement on page four of this
paper recently.

III read the signs Alright the
woman of New York state at least
Will cast ballot on election day in
the year 1914. specify that year
in particular because that is the
year of the next constitutional con-
vention. Amendments to our
constitution can be made only once
in twenty years, and the last con-
vention was held in 1894.
In thirteen years from now I
firmly believe that the suffrage
movement will have advanced to
the point where the necessary
amendment to the constitution,
urged by monster petition of
women who own property, will be
passed by the legislative bodies of
New York state, and when once the
women of the empire state go to the
polls the women of all the states of
the union will be given the same
right. ] need not now spell out
the signs nor translate them. They
can be read between the letters of
the significant word progress.
But if doubt exists in the minds
of some people that the woman
suffrage movement which flowed
like tidal wave over the country
in 1904 has subsidized so much as to
be harmless l can only say to PEG.
pie of such belief, wait until 1914.
The question lies at present in
silence, | grant, but it is a silence
that is portentous. This is the
period of preparation, the period of
thought, upon which action is sure
to follow. Meanwhile it seems too
bad that women who own real
estate and pay taxes are not allowed
to cast a ballot. Why, the men of
this country themselves went to war
because of taxation without repre-
sentation. The women of New
York state alone pay taxes on
81, 900, 900, 900 worth of real estate,
yet they are not allowed voice in
the practical government of the
state to which they contribute so
much revenue.
Among the good things that will
result from woman suffrage is that
Of retaining national and munich
pal buildings and thoroughfares
from present uncleanliness. This
uncleanliness exists because the
housekeepers are men at present.
But in the nation and the munich
pality as in the home the house
keepers should be the women.
Therefore | foresee that when WON
en- vote there will be national
housccleaning such as no nation
ever saw. Once armed with the
ballot, then the mop, the broom
and the bucket will be decidedly
more in evidence in the places in
which they are most needed
Today is not too soon TO invite
the attention Of every American
woman to the fact that every pos
sible recruit should be enlisted in
the appealing army Of 1914. It is
not too soon 70 begin work. The
fact that there arc still thirteen
years in which TO enlist the interests
of all American women in this
question does not make the present
moment less important. On the
other hand, il every moment is
counted as precious and the women
at once begin working hard for the
end 10 view the very fact that there
is plenty Of time in which to work
assures success. Let each woman
think for herself and consider the
question we'll before she ignores the
great petition TO which, in a com
paratiycly few years, she will be
asked TO add her signature.

GIRLS wITH GOOD APPETITEs
Such Are Those nj the wOman's College
As This List Shows.

Sugar and spice and everything
nice has been bought in larger
quantities than ever this year at
the Woman's College TO meet the
demands of the greatly increased
number of resident students. The
contracts are made at the opening
OF college, through Mr. Geo. Filbert
cashier of the Woman's College
and are given to Baltimore dealers.
The amount of beef ordered for
the year is 81, 900 pounds; of NUT
ton, s, 500, the same as last year;
veal, 5000, and pork, 9, 500.
Poultry will be used in greater
abundance than ever, the contrac,
calling for 1900 pounds, 500
more than was bought last year.
Three thousand pounds of FISH
and 200 gallons of oysters have
been contracted for, and 4, 900 doz-
en- eggs, 6,ooo gallons of milk and
5000 pounds of butter will help to
make life worth living. Five hln-
bred bushels of potatoes and 500
cases of canned vegetables have
been ordered and fresh vegetables
will be bought daily as needed.
One hundred and twenty-five
barrels of flour will be required to
make the delicious rolls, mullins
and waffles served at the college
homes, and the contract for lard
goes up to 4, 900 pounds.
What can be done with so much
sugar is question, but there will
probably not be grain left at the
close of the year of the $1,000 lbs.
ordered. One thousand FIVE hun
dred pounds of coffee, Ia5 pounds
of tea andL pounds of chocolate
have been ordered. Two thousand
five hundred pounds of crackers is
what the contract calls for.
Is the college girl about to give
up ice cream2 may be a new-woman
question, for, In Baltimore at least,
the demand seems TO be less. Last
year the demand fell from 700 to
$50 gallons and this year the con-
tract calls for but 500 gallons. The
fact that some ices and many deli
cious sweets are made in the home
is, however, factor in the reason
for this falling off. Seventy five
thousand pounds of ice have been
contracted for.
Fruits, jellies and pickles are
all "put up" in the college homes,
the pantry shelves of which are
piled with jars of delicious things.
The college housekeepers are
skilled in the art of preserving and
the pantry of VInland, Fensal or
Glitner Hall would be a paradise
for any small boy in existence.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
President Roosevelt And the
Machine Politicians.
The Talk or Tariff Revision by the
Next Congress.
From our regular eorrespondent.

From our regular correspondent.
WAsHIScToN, October IL, 1901.
On Sunday evening last Senator
Thomas {. Plat of New York,
arrived in Washington. He dined
at the White House and spent the
evening in earnest consultation
with the President. On Monday
your correspondent called upon
him at the Arlington Hotel and
secured an interview. Senator
Plat said that perfect harmony
existed between him and President
Roosevelt in regard to New York
politics and that the President was
heartily In favor of the election Of
Mr.. Low and would lend his infu-
ence, in so far as was proper, to
that end. When asked his opinion
as TO the extent TO which tariff re-
vision would be gone into at the
next Session he protested that he
was too much occupied with the
New York campaign at this time to
have an opinion on the subject.
When his attention was called to
the statement of Representative
Serene E. Payne of New York, and
chairman of the House Committee
on Ways and Means, Senator Plat
remarked very naively "rhat tariff
revision would mean a great deal of
work for Mr.. Payne"

AS may be imagined from the
foregoing, Senator Plat was not in
very communicative frame of
mind, but he seldom is. He has
the reputation of being one of the
most taciturn of politicians even
when undergoing the most adroit
questioning. The Senator expressed
surprise at tbs impression that had
gotten abroad that Collector Geo
X. Whitehead of Porto Rice, was
to succeed Appraiser Wakemcn
