There is not word to he said in
defense Of the inhuman lynchlngs that
have put American civilization to
shame In too many of our states. The
World has again and again condemned
them In the strongest terms, and will
never lose proper opportunity to do

with the water-cure tortures and other
cruelties done by the order of certain
OF our military officers in the Philip
pines, as II In some way one barbarism
could be palliated or offset by another,
we emphatically dissent.
YOU'RE another" Is not argument
but pure demagogy. Gallinger declaim-

OFF DUTY.

Come. shake off the shackles Of routine,
Say good-by unto thrift for awhile;
Bid the voice of Discretion be mute
cen
When you're basking in luxury's s
smile.
And give not thought to the future,
The present has interest enough;
When ca ting of Pleasures sweet fruit
your
Best game is to play out the bluff.
So put on the mask Of gay fancy,
And borrow the garb of Pierrot:
BY the unbusy tines nccromancy
You are "IT" for II while. Lot 'er 90!
OF course you may later regret It.
This, doubtless, has happened before;
And, though it vii leave you in debt.
Is worth all it cost you. and more.
For these are the days of vaca ton,
All free from guip, quibble and
quirk;
Just now you are free from dictation.
But next week you go back to work.
