THE IDLE MAN

Women of Irondale, Illinois a town of 5000 people,
are raising a popular Subscription to 1epor, the towns
only idle nan. They propose t. senl him jus, as far as
the money they collect will pay fare, and there will be no
return ticket. All can wish tnat their fund may grow
enormously, and their good purpose become infections.
An idle man is a poisonous sore that pOUutes a wbC-e
community, whether inherited wealth puts him into the
class of society moths or inherited iaziness puts him into
the ranks of weary willies; for idleness maintained in re-
speciality and ease is more infectious than plague and
more disastrous to the real elements of a towns prog
ress. A plague kills people; they are buried ont of sight
and out of the way; the surviving go on at their accus-
toned occupations. But loafing worse than kills its i'm
mediate victim. 1t leaves a wrecked and rottng man
hood as a stencil and pollution upon all the moral atmos-
phere of it's vicinity. 1t %atrophies aspiration, energy and
effort in all men, and it palsies the aggressive spirit OF
youth that alone can give wings to hope and strength to
the arm of achievement.
Yes. a loafer is worse than a leper-more of a bur
den to himself and to those on whom he is dependent
and more of a menace to the thrift, progress and real
health of those who come in daily contact with him. He
is a nuisance, a source of industrial pollution, a seed OF
moral pestilence. He ought to be driven out of any town.
He ought to be forced off the face of the earth.

Pittsburg stockholders of the Tri-Bul-
lion company, who had been inspect

Mr.. Paschal says that things in the
Kelly district are very active. The
Kelly and Graphic properties are I'M

&ENATORIAL BOSS


Senator Plat is against Governor Higgins of New
York. His opposition is a complete change of face, but
is of Itself unimportant except that It shows how pitifully
minute their conception of law and decency.
Senator Plat owns a New York hotel. II stands so
close to a church that, under the law, no liquor license
could be granted to the hotel. A bill found its way to the
legislature exempting Platt's hotel from the provisions
of that law. 1t passed a supine state legislature, and
Governor Higgins, being an honest man, vetoed it, And
so Plat hates his former friend Higgins and will defeat
him if he can.
81 never asked but one favor of Governor Higgins"
said Senator Plat recently That was that he approve
the bill which was passed by the Legislature for this
hotel. l asked it thoughtful and prayerfully. He vetoed
it,"
The boss is not content to be a citizen. Himself a
law maker, and supposedly possessing a keen sense Of
the eternal fitness Of things, he would have one law for
a money grabbing boss and another for the people. The
dirty dollar counts more than friendship, honor and prin.
ciple.
Mr.. Plat may be able to put Governor Higgins out
of politics, for Plat is still a boss. He may even be
able to hang on to his senatorial seat for a few more
years. But if he lives until his years equal those of
Methuselah he will never be able to convince the peo-
pie that he is a representative American, or anything but
q narrow. conscienceless boss with mind, body and soul
working for his own pocket all the time.
The people of the great state of New York object to
New Mexico's becoming a state on the ground that she
would have two senators, as many as the great state IT.
self. One thing is certain-New Mexico could never send
to congress two such selfseeking, law-breaking, money
grabbing senators as the two who now represent New
York. They are par excellent in that line.

SONG OF THE SOLDIERS
BEFORE WARS DEADLY WORK
BY Bayard Taylor
BY Bayard Taylor

Give us a song!" the soldiers cried,
The outer trenches guarding.
When the heated guns of the camps allied
Grew weary of bombarding.
The dark Redan, in silent scott,
Lay, grim and threatening under;
And the tawny mound of the Malakoff
No longer belched its thunder.
There was a pause. A guardsman said,
we storm the forts tomorrow;
Sing while we may, another day
Will bring enough of sorrow
They lay along the battery's side,
Below the smoking cannon;
Brave hearts, from Severn and from Clyde
And from the banks Of Shannon.
They sang of love and not Of fame;
Forgot was Britain's glory,
Each heart recalled a different name,
But all sang annie Laurie"
Voice after voice caught up the song
Until its tender passion
Rose like an anthem, rich and strong
Their battle-eve confession.
Dear girl, her name he dared not speak,
But as the song grew louder,
something upon the soldiers cheek
Washed off the stains of powder.
Beyond the darkening ocean burned
The bloody sunsets embers.
While the Crimean valleys learned
How English love remembers.
And once again a fire of he'll
Rained on the Russian quarters,
With scream of shot and burst of shell,
And believing of the mortars!
An Irish Nora's eyes are dim
For a singer dumb and CORY;
An English Mary mourns for him
Who sang for Annie Laurie"
Sleep, soldiers! still in honest rest
Your truth and valor wearing,
The bravest are the tenderest-
The loving are the daring.

A Terrible Tragedy.
A cry of horror burst from the vast assemblage.
Thousands of willing hands would have ayerted the

Strong men groaned in anguish, and fair women look

What had happened?
Was il a horrible accident?
Worse than that!

on bases, and the home team had lost the game-Chicago

HEROES

Some boys at Monessen, Pennsylvania, were present.
ing a version of that weird melodrama, Tracey, the Out
law when a gun that wasn't loaded got in its too real
istic effect, and the boy who was playing sheriff is dy-
ing.
1t is a common and always possible result of such
plays. Emotions that feed on the sensations of violence
and death are apt often to slip beyond the border line be-
tween make-beleve and reality. AS in the case of the
boys throwing apples at the deacon's head to see which
could come nearest without hitting" there is pretty
sure to be a hit now and then not to be c~atalogued as
pure accident.
Nor is the occasional wounding and killing the worst
result of desperate plays. There is a far worse result,
and it is not occasional, not in the least accidental, but
inevitable. That is the brutalizing of the minds and
hearts of the boys who take part in it. Familiarity with
the debasing allureemtns of outiawry and crime is the
most dangerous thing that boys can cultivate. Better al
most that a boy should be shot in the outlaw play than
that he should have stamped upon him'by it the impress
sion that romance and heroism lie along that line.
So long as in the theaters we accept VIGOROUSLY bad
men as heroes we must expect boys not only to do the
same. but to pattern after that sort of heroism. The
career that a boy regards as heroic and romantic and i'm
itates at play is the career that most profoundly influ-
ences his whole after life. The youthful Napoleon play
ing with his wooden soldiers was developing the qualities
of a great general not more surely than is the boy who
plays at being a bandit training within himself the in
stincts and characteristics of crime.

Bayard Taylor, one of whose poems appears in the
adjoining column, was poet, traveller, editor and dip'o-
mat. He was born in Pennsylvania January II, 1925. and
died in Berlin on December 10, 1878. OF Bayard Taylors
active life it is impossible to give an adequate idea in
a brief sketch. His first poems were published when he
was sixteen. He travelled afoot over Europe in lS444G,
and in 1S49 was seeking gold in California. His life
was a series of long trayelings and trips abroad, letters
and other contributions to the press and innumerable lee
ture tours" AT the time Of his death he was United
States minister to Germany.

The Durango Democrat recently said: Albuquerque
has nearly $1,000 people and her resources are a railroad,
lizards, horned toads, sage brush, cactus. sands and
winds to carry them. Durango has 5000 people and re-
sources matchless in diversity and magnitude and value.
But Albuquerque has a combination of brains and energy
that will not brook defeat" The compliment to the PEG
pie of Albuquerque is well deserved and pleasantly Civ
en-; but it is plainly to be seen that the editor of the
DEMOCRAT needs TO be further instructed. Here would
be good use for some of those documents such as the
Commercial Club formerly distributed.

LIE had spent his life in vain effort
| | to find out the mystery of creation,
and especially that of the origin of the
human species. At last his zeal attracted
the attention of the gods, who were
moved to pity for him, because he had
searched many years and at the end knew
no more than at the beginning.
He has labored long and earnestly
and conscicntiously, they said among
themselves, and he really hoped to help
his race As he has striven harder and
longer than any man before him, it
might be well to reward him with the
knowledge he sought

She said that Art should always show
The Soul of Common Things;
Above her Study of Hoe"
She painted Angels Wings"
A portrait in picture hat
With haggard, yearning look,
And shoulders quite as thin and flat
As rose-leaves in book
She vaunted full of Life and Pain,
Meaning in ev'ry line
Her brother said oh, guess again! -
She called him "Philistinel'
At last a man, who did not care
For high anemic art,

And wake her sleeping heart.
She DOTTED her clinging yellow gown
For snowy bridal silk.
And now that copper saucepan's brown

To Art, she said, she'd consecrate,
Her heart, but not to Man.
Her walls, with tapestries ornate,
Framed rugs from Daghestan;
Her hair she turned a Titan tint,
And wore it weirdly tossed;
Her long, loose garments seemed to hint
How many pins she'd lost.
A cozy corner and a screen
Her "bit of color" made;
Elsewhere her studio was green.
Of an unhealth I'll shade

She placed the Milo 'gainst fan,
And then began to paint.
