Just Before the Battle, Mother.

Just before the battle. mother.
l was thinking most Of you.
While upon the field we're watching.
With the enemy i'll view
Comrades brave are round me lying.
Filled with thoughts Of home and
God;
For well they know that on the morrow,
Some will sleep beneath the sod.
Oh. long to see you, mother.
And the loving ones at home.
But l will never leave our banner,
Till in honor | can come.
Tell the traitors all around you,
That their cruel words we know,
In ev'ry battle kill our soldiers,
BY the help they give the foe.
Hark. hear the bugles sounding,
IT'S the signal for the fight.
Now. may God protect us, mother.
AS He ever does the right.
Hear the Battle cry of Freedom"
How it swells upon the air,
Oh, yes. We'll rally round the standard,
Or we'll perish nobly there.
Chorus:
Farewell. mother, you may never, you
may never,
Mother. press me to your heart again
But you'll not forget me, mother, you'll
not forget me,
If | am numbered with the slain.

His Resignation.
Washington, Nov. 22.-Secretary
Shaw will remain as secretary of the
treasury in President Roosevelt's oabi-
net until the conclusion Of the ap.
preaching session of congress and per-

inghis candidacy for the Republican
presidential nomination in 1908, al
though the secretary himself has never
announced his intention to be candi-
date.
President Roosevelt,s attention was
attracted to some recent publications
that Secretary Shaw had presented to
him his resignation to take effect next
February, or perhaps earlier, and day
or two ago be had conference with
the secretary about the matter. Since
the interview it has been announced
that at the urgent request Of the presi-
dent Secretary Shaw has consented to
continue as secretary of the treasury
until the close of the approaching ses.
sion of congress and perhaps for some
time aftevward.
At least two other changes in the
cabinet have been in contemplation,
but it can be said authoritatively that
they will not occur soon. Attorney
General Moody having formed law
partnership in Boston, expressed a de-
sire to retire from the cabinet last
July. The president persuaded him
to remain for another year and hopes
to induce him to remain IN the cabinet
until year from the fourth of next
March. He has not vet received a
definite answer from Mr.. Moody. Sec
rotary Hitchcock, Of the interior de-
partment, also has indicated his wish
to leave the cabinet before the conolu-
sion Of President Roosevelt's term Of
Office. But he has informed the presi-
dent that he will remain with him
through the present fiscal year and per-
haps longer.

Laws and Oppose Social Gambling.
New YORK, Nov. 22.-After an ex-
haustive interchange of views by the
most distinguished clergymen repre-
settling thirty-seven denominations
from all sections of the country, the
interchurch conference on federation,
which has been in session for the past
week, adjourned yesterday. After the
adjournment the delegates to the con.
ference were entertained at a reception
at the Waldorf Astoria by the denomi-
national social unions and church
clubs of the city.
Among the resolutions adopted by
the cow ntion were the following.
Resolved, That we urge upon law
makers the need Of uniform divorce
laws and that these laws shall conform
to a high standard.
"That we believe the manifold and
often disguised forms of popular gam
blingnow in vogue, especially betting
on elections and on college games, and
the use of prizes in social games,
should prompt the churches to increase
warnings and instruction, that all may
know that whenever it is determined
by chance what or how one gets for
his money it is a lottery and also that
the essence of the sin of gambling con-
sists in trifling with the sacred trust
of property and in getting something
ofv value in business transaction
without afr exchange"
Urging an investigation of the Con.
90 river basin in Africa bv an Impair
tial tribunal, and urging the United
States government to further this in
ternational inquiry.
Another resolution inserted the words
t'to the utmost limit righteously en-
forceable" in a declaration favoring
laws restricting the liquor traffic. The
word graft" in another resolution
provoked long discussion. 1t was
finally decided that this word should
remain. This resolution was intro.
duced Monday and condemned "the
widespread commeroialism which Jesus
called covetousness and condemned
more severely than any other ice."

A Thing of Beauty.

A thing of beauty is JOY forever;
Its loveliness increases; it will never
Pass into nothingness, but still will keep
bower quiet for us and a sleep
Full of sweet dreams and health and
quiet breathing;
Therefore on every morrow we are
wreathing
A fowery band to bind us to the earth
Spite of dependence, of the inhuman
dearth
Of noble natures, of the gloomy days
OF all the unhealthy and o'erdarkened
ways
Made for our searching-yes, in spite Of
all,
Some shape of beauty moves away the
From our dark spirits. Such the sun, the
Trees old and young, sprouting a shady
For simple sheep. and such are daffodils.
With the green world they live in, and
clear rills
That for themselves cooling covert
make
'Gainst the hot season, the midforest
brake
Rich with sprinkling of fair musk rose
blooms,
And such, too, is the grandeur of the
dooms
We have imagined for the mighty dead,
All lovely tales that we have heard or
read,
An endless fountain Of immortal drink
Pouring unto us from heavens brink.

WHERE DIPLOMACY
COUNTS FOR LITTLE

There is a great deal Of confusion
in the reports concerning the Chinese
boycott and the dlplomatists. but only
one point really needs clearing up.
What are the facts about the boycott

effective at all ports? In wnat line
OF trade Is IT most felt at present: ::

published in this paper yesterday
said "Tne Chinese authorities state
that they will take energetic steps to
stop everything of an illegal or dis
orderly character, but that they can
not stop the boycott" Certainly no
one in this country would expect them
to. except on the theory that govern
ment in China is :. nch more power
ful than government in the United
States. II American merchants agree
not to purchase goods from China
there is no official authority that
could coerce them in the slightest de
gree They would buy Wien they
pleased and where they pleased, and
even the Chinese government would
ardly be so foolish as 10 expect OIL,

ARIZONA AND NEW MEXICO.

The st. Louis Globe-Democrat does
not see much prospect for statehood
unless Arizona and New Mexico unite
and while The Herald believes New
Mexico should be admitted as n sin.
gle proposition, candor compels the
admission that the following from the
Globe-Democrat is about the correct
situation:
"Arizona's newspapers are making
hard fight against union with New
Mexico In statehood bill. In New
Mexico the opposition to it is also
strong. but 1t is not SO widespread
or SO pronounced as it is In her neigh
Dor. Arizona fights union on several
grounds. The population of the two
territories is dissimilar Each has a
history. traditions and local life of its
own. Union would make the commun.
ity so large AS to be unweldy. The
chief reason of Arizona's hostility to
the merger, however. is that New Mex.
leo. being the larger, would get most
OF the public buildings and most of
the benefits OF statehood.
