Of the city. juvenile court established
would reduce the juvenile ofienses Of the
city and improve the morals of the coming
generations, as well as give the police court
a chance to become a more dignihed court.
I have heard many very able and learned
men contend that this is the only way to
make rapid strides TO improve police regu-
ladons Why is it that the church people
Of this city have allowed such to continue,
when if they would exert themselves this
could be all avoided2 Other cities have
taken steps in this direction and have seen
the very best Of results. This state of affairs
will continue to exist here so long as the
people place the beauty Of the city above
the moral influence Of their children and
families; so long as a few men who think
more Of their own positions and are afraid
to assert what they believe to be honest and
right for fear that some political pet might
lose his position OF some other one by
chance not be favored. Just so long will
this continue. Justice and the love of
humanity demand that juvenile court be
established and that the city be given a
system Of police courts that are not dis
grace to the Capital Of this nation.
Beauty is held above morals and good
government in Washington.

ran across a squad Of old Civil War vet
erans discussing the political outlook, pros
pective and retrospective This, in sub
stance, Is what overheard.
We'll, Jim, l saw you in the crowd over
at Arlington at the reburial of Rosecrans.
Did you hear the Presidents speech1"
Yes John heard every word he said,
and / read his speech in the Star when i
got home in the evening"
How did you like it?"
1T was intensely American. He slob-
bered all over us old fellows. That reminds
me Of his order published in the papers
last winter"
What order do you refer to? His pref
erence order?"
Yes, refer to that order 1t looks very
cheerful in print, but it is mt worth a d-n
in practice. / doubt if one of his cabinet
officials so far has enforced it, and that is
not all. they don't intend to obey it.
speak advisedly when I say that you can
count all the old soldiers promoted since
that order was issued, in all the depart
ments in Washington, on the fingers Of
your good right hand and not exhaust the
tally"
Well, that is a sweeping statement,
said another, but will not dispute it.

women have the call. It is impossible for
old, toothless veterans to compete with

prediction, when 1904 arrives. Our G. A.

longer On-b0iifical. The President might
Just as well revoke his preference order,
for all the good it has done, or will do,
under Democratic chiefs of bureaus and
divisions. 1t is not obeyed by his cabinet,
and was issued for effect, mere political
clap.trap and buncombe If the President
doesn't know the truth of this statement,

BALLsroN, Alexandria Co. Va, My s5.
Editor Sunday Globe.
Thank the Lord there is one paper in
Washington that is not muzzled, one editor
that does not crook the pregnant hinges o f
the knee, f" one man who is independent as
an iceberg and dares to tell the truth. In
these days of trusts, military despotisms,
despotic Presidents, subservient Senates, a
hard working bread winner feels az low
down no count as the French peasants did
in the reign Of the good messigneur."
Now live like many others on the Vir-
ginia side of the Potomac and / have wit
messed every memorial celebration at Ar

uncles brave soldiers they were) who lie
buried there, and once every year in the
howery month of May a great stream OF
people flock over Great men orate--they
come to do honor to the heroic dead. They

country's MARTYRS" "OuT lost, but loved
defenders" Great God what mockery-
The government they have died to save
buries them in a forsaken spot and refuses
to grant thoroughfare to where they rest.
The Union dead at Arlington should be a
mecca to the American people, where all
could visit and gain inspiration from the
memory Of the mighty deeds. Instead they
lie practically unknown and visited as il
they we're buried in the pOtter's field.
I IF the dead could hear and speak, then on
Decoration Day after the flow of rhetoric,
the stream Of pathOs had ceased, there
would issue from every grave a curse Of
deep damnation that they had ever given
their lives to save the country for such
creatures as exist to-day.
The government buries them in a lone,
forsaken spot and then refuses to build a
bridge TO allow the public TO see them, and
it costs IS cents for every visitor to visit
Arlington.
In every park in Washington there is a
statue of some general or some admiral who
in many cases owes his position to having
political pull, but to the men behind the
guns the rank and file who did the fighting,
there is no monument, no statue, no mono
lith.
In every southern town the most promi-
nent feature is battle monument and that
monument is always surmounted by the
figure of private soldier. The men who
run Congress have decided there shall never
be bridge across the Potomac, and as the
capitalists own the United States there
never will Yet those soldiers at Arlington
died that the country should be free.
The usual gathering will be held at Ar
lington the usual gush uttered. The ne
gros viii crowd the place and the peanut
vendors and banana peddlers will reap
rich harvest, and the country's dead will
lie for another year "unwept, unhonored- e.
and unsung." JOHN S. MASON.

somewhat Of a philosopher, having more
than the average common sense and less
than the average egotism / wander around
the city to enjoy the sights, the scenes and
the chance conversations of my fellow men
and sometimes women. ] enjoy the parks
the beer saloons, the summer gardens, the
bear gardens (police court and CongIess)
and the churches. 1t has occurred TO me
more than once that the observations have
made TO others, which seemed to please
and meet their approval, would be accept

contribution. l do not propose to tell AL

qualify this observation TO the effect that
! like the parks where no dogs are admitted
and where the man in charge sweeps the
walks once every month, at least, Of the in
sects killed by electric lights. Out in Lin
coin Park the dogs chase each other and the
man in charge enjoys the sport, but don't.
Neither do the women and children whom
these animal sometim es frighten and almost
throw into spasms. / saw recently man
and his dog in this park. The dog jumped
on children and the children screamed with
fright. Their mothers protested and the
man in charge was finally induced to re-
quest the man and his dog to retire. But
the man and dog returned in brief space,
and the dog was chained to a seat and the
children gave that portion of the park a
wide berth
/ stopped counting on Sunday noon the
dead insects on the walks Of this park be-

lives the night previous trying TO eat up the
electric lights. saw many varieties of
womens hose as the ladies lifted their
skirts to avoid sweeping these insects into
convenient piles for the park watchman.
Which in my philosophy was another Illus
tration that every evil has its compensation.
The exhibition Of hose was very entertain.
ing if not instructive-but not the dogs nor
the dead insects.
