IN restoring order where such cOrrec-
tive processes are demanded by actual
OF probable danger to American IN
terests, Not only this, but IN It's ca
pacity of big policeman for this hem
ispherc the United States has to see
to it that It's proteses do not cmbroil
themselves unnecessarily with Euro
pean- countries under the mistaken
impression that Uncle Sam stands
ready to hold his club between them
and the offended power to save them
from a well-deserved thrashiug,
Such a preventive as well as cor
rective policy becomes all the more
timely and necessary by reason Of the
impending close Identification of this
Government with those to the south
Of rs through the construction OF the
isthmian canal and the political and
commercial obligations devolving
upon Us IN consequence thereof. We
cannot quietly contemplate the pros
pect Of seeing those interests and
these Of foreign nations jeopardized,
at more or less frequent intervals,
through the tumultuous proceedings
of revolutions and counter-revolu-
lions. If the United States says to
the world, Hands of, it must see to
It that no occasion arises which might
mpel some TO lay hands on.

The Schcoiyard Gate.

I stood at the gate Of the schoolyard
That opens out onto the street,
And harked to the musical patter
OF myriads Of dear little feet;
And the hum of a blending OF voices,
Subdued by the strange presence near,
Fell soft. like an evening vesper.
On the reverent listeners ear.
And I saw in the faces before ne
A picture that boyhood recalls.
And the sound Of the innocent voices
Re-echoed through memory's halls;
And I sQuirmed as I thought Of the
benches,
Where Of yore in suspense I had sat
With my eyes on the clock and the
teacher
And my hands on my mtttens and hat.
And I thought Of successes and failures,
Of the ways that responded to will,
As I studied from morning till evening
How the time unobserved might kill,
And the ghost of the principal beckoned
From the window where sometimes he
sat,
And I felt cold chill again strike me
And an uprising under my hat.
Then a tTemOT Of sadness crept Ger me,
AS I thought Of a room On the hill,
Where the silence is perfectly perfect,
Though the airs just a tri1e too chill;
And tear down my cheek stole IN
hidden
And my heart beat a muffied adieu,
As the recess bell rang down the curtain
And the picture passed slowly from
view.
And oft in these visions I'm standing
Again a The old sohooIyaTd gate,
Reviewing the heroes assembling.
Accoutered with satcheI end slate;
And / see, in the future Oppression
Subdued on Enlightenment plain.
And the forces that fender the nations
Directed by Conscience and Brain.

NOT IMMORTAL

Shakespeare and Homer are doomed to cbscurity-
Guthrie fOretens it, and Guthrie should know!
He's Of Chicago that fountain of purity,
So, If he speaks, We may know Of surety
None can gainsay it; it's bound to be so,
Much that 10 grOundlings IS incomprehensible
Plainly is read by the lords of the skies;
We, though in darkness are ftfully sensible
Weakness is wickedness, sloth indefensble-
Would we see visions we know we must rise,
Yes, we must strengthen our mental capacity,
Widen our landscape, and sharpen on sight;
Then we shall see what at first seemed eudacity
Plainly revealed as the cultured sagacity
Born Of wedding of wisdom and light
Then all the world viii, Of course, be unanimous
Things viii be weighed on uniform scale;
None viii be petty and none pusiIIanimous
Al will consider sans bias and animus
Shakespeare rninnow and Guthrie a whale
Then, II the lowest and meanest society,
Thanks to Chicagos intelligent men,
There viii be eagles in charming variety,
Homer, in spite of his past notoriety,
Seeming by contrast no more than wren.
Stratford viii weep and the Gallup cryptolcgy-
Liniput's strife-be an object of soorn;
Greece VIII deplore hex denuded mythology
Hom5r from Hades, will send an apology,
SorTOwing most that he ever was bor-
