A SURE SIGN

When faint the city whistles blow And milk carts rumble to and fro; When the glad sunbeams newly fling Abroad their promises of spring, Then father to the garden goes And rakes and digs and plants and
 hoes;
 When he has placed beneath the loam About his glad suburban home Lettuce and beans and trailing vine And proudly says, ..All this is mine,n And joyous hears the breakfast bell And feels his bosom proudly swell, What sound portentous on the breeze Cause his slow curdling blood to
 freeze?
 There, cackling singly or together, With feet. steel shod and lungs of
 leather,
 The neighbors soul destroying hens Have flown their fragile makeshift
 pens!
 The big white rooster proudly leads! The air is full of garden seeds! The old hen lifts with rapid scoops Earth, stumps, sod, gravel, and the
 roots
 That pa has planted with such care And left to grow in comfort there. Iris nothing but Abounding Grace That holdeth father in his place, Instead of clubbing every hen, He plants the garden once again, And ma says, with expression sage, "Yer fathers mellerin' with age"

 Powell Clayton, United States am bassador to Mexico, has at last been forced to admit his connection with the Fl Carmen Mining company, a con nection he has long denied. Some time ago the state department called the attention of the ambassador to the fact that he was charged with being pecuniarily interested in this com pany, and MT Clayton came to Wash ington and stated to the president that he held a few shares in the company, but that they were held in trust for a relative, who was herself unable to protect her interests, and had trans ferred her stock to him for that pur- pose. MT Clayton now admits that he is actual holder of 100 shares and is director in the company. This admission is most significant in the face of the charges brought against Mir Clayton, and. incidentally against the solicitor for the state department, by Senator Bailey, and which resulted in the personal encounter which oc- cured between Senators Bailey and Beyeridge. It will be remembered that Senator Bailey charged that Am bassador Clayton had practically re- fused to protect the rights of one Dr Scott as against the mining company above named; that the presumption was that he had done so because he was a director of that company, and that Solicitor Peneld had suppressed certain papers in order to protect Clay ton and defeat Scott. The admission of Clayton at this late date, and after q denial of the actual facts has been made to the president, constitutes a victory for Senator Bailey and places Senator Beveridge and the officials of the state department i'll a most embar- assing position. It is also significant that none of the daily papers, in mak- ing public the statement of the am- bassador, refer to the connection of the admission to the charges made by Senator Bailey on the floor of the sen ate.

yided for the taking of a popular vote on the question whether convention should or should not be held" The people responded to this call in the af- frmative and thus the constitutional
 convention was authorized by the leg islature, as we look at it. If, for in
 stance, Charles F. Thayer goes before the people this fall on a platform
 which says that he shall call a consti-
 tutional convention if elected, and he is elected and does actually call the
 convention, he would be but carrying out the will of the people, just the same as the legislature did. What matters it, anyway, whether the gov ernor or the legislature calls the con- vention so long as the people want It, and the transactions of such a body must be ratified by the people before it becomes a law? The talk of it be- ing revolutionary did not originate in the Democrat, and we quite agree with the Times editor when he says: No one proposes means of revising the constitution which is not orderly, and carried out deliberately and With regard to correct entertainment of the will of the people, The Times agrees with the Democrat that in order to get a convention under way somebody must take the initiative, and it says: Some one must call it undoubtedly but the call should be by the people on the initiative of some one who in vites them to express their opinion. It is true that if governor should call a convention in his own name, and the people should elect delegates, and these delegates frame constitu- tion, and the people subsequently rat fly this constitution by an unmistak- able majority, it would become the constitution of the state by decree of the people themselves. But it is also true that this plan involves complica tions, expenses and uncertainties The people have the right to alter their form of government, but no specific form of procedure for their direct ac- tion has been agreed on" The Demo- crat still contends that the governor elected with the understanding that he will call a convention is but carry ing out the will of the people.

Probably the two busiest depart, navy departments. The maneuyers of the North Atlantic squadron have be- gun and will continue for some weeks, and in short time the army will joil: forces with the navy in the develop ment of certain military problems. Al though the combined maneuyers have not yet begun, a most salutary lesson has been taught the administration al ready and one from which it is reason able to suppose much benefit will be derived. At an info1 nal meeting at which the president discussed the pro posed maneuvers with Secretaries Root and Moody it was planned to concen- trate large land force on the Atlantic coast to resist a mock attack by. the naval forces, but when AIr Root came to discuss details with the officers of the department it was discovered that it would be impossible to mobilize q force of any material strength at that point and the unpreparedness of the army to resist a real invasion proved as surprising as it was startling to the president and the members of his cab inet. Since then the war department has been straining every nerve to con centrate a respectable land force in what is to be the zone of war. The inspection of the telegraphic and cable communication between the coast forts and army posts, which has just been completed by Major Scriven, also re vealed state of affairs which was sur prising, and now many members of the signal corps are engaged making neces- sary repairs and alterations.

I quickly and quietly with drew with, feeling of awe and rev erence in my heart. Soon went away from home to school, then to college, then into life's sterner duties But ] never forgot that one glimpse of my mother at prayer nor the one word my own name-which heard her ut ter. We'll did know that what had seen that day was but a glimpse Of what was going on every day in that sacred closet of prayer, and the con sciousness strengthened me thousand times in duty, in danger and in strug- gle.
