LET IN SOME OF THE UNFIT.

In the recruiting of the National
Guard it is from the Immediately eff
fective standpoint important to have
mono but the best physical material en-
ter the ranks. From the military stand
point, therefore, the efforts Of tho re-
cruitirg officers TO enlist only those
that are best qualified is not only rea-
sonable, but commendable. That is the
way to build up Immediately a good,
strong, well-appearing military com
mand. And we do not in the least
blame the officers who are bending their
efforts III this direction, and who are
making their preferences so plain and
so marked IN favor of nothing but the
best material for the National Guard,
They are clearly doing their duty, and
serving the state in the best possible
manner, from a military standpoint.
At the same time, there is another
standpoint that might fairly be con
sidered from the sociological and civic
side Of the question. This city is full
of hollow chested, cat-hammed, spindle
sndHlSeu young mems lHey dIc snuulup
in their gait, feeble in appearance, and
unsightly in crowd Of robust men.
These young fellows arc given to
various excuses in tobacco, in liquor
sometimes in "dope" of various kinds
and far too numerously in cigarettes
Now from the civic standpoint and
from the deslrability Of economic con
version and utilization Of all material
at hand, we insist again that it would
be good thing to open the ranks to
number of these weaklings and build
them up to the proper military efficiency
and appearance, The young man who
would take the setting-up exercises tina,
are properly applied to the military
recruit, would have to give up all ex
cesses and would have to develop some
thing of physical stamina; in many
cases, no doubt, to his physical regcncr
alton and permanent benefit. 1t is trut
| that in n large number of cases thes,
young men do not realize the igur,
they cut and do not appreciate at frs
the benefits that Il military setting III
would confer upon them. Some are
of course, incorrigible, and there is NJ
way to help them or redeem them fren

THE THAW CASE FIASCo.

All the blood and thunder in the
trial of this spectacular case has gone
for nothing; the Thaw jury disagreed
and has been discharged, The case has
occupied the attention of the whole
country in an astonishing degree tho
exploitation of 1T in the newspapers
has been phenomenal. And VIC arc
bound to say that no development in
the trial has justified onetenth the
fuss made about it, The case was
found as one of those base. indecent,
brutal instances of immoral, down
diving, perverse human depravity, not
in the least uncommon IN life. It
was in no whit different from others
of its indecent ilk save in that. the de
fendant had immense wealth back OF
him, and that the victim who was shot
was striking personality Of great gifts
and high position. The fall of each OF
the principals was as great as it could
be, and the public was interested ac-
cordingly-shocked to see that we'll"
bred and highly gifted men could fall
so low
The dead man S reputation was utter
ly destroyed, morally, by the revela.
tions of the trial. Probably, as there
was no voice to speak for him, the case
against him was made much worse than
a fair presentation of the facts would
warrant. Thaw was shown TO be an
utter beast The girl, on her own show
ing, was about as near lacking IN moral
sense as any one short OF an idiot could
be. Her mother was probably the most
blackcncd in character and in her selfish
and unprotectiDg treatment of her
daughter Of any mother ever dealt
with by court; that is, any
mother with the least claim to respecta-
bility or decency.
But those Immediately connected with
the crime were not the only ones who
were damaged in standing and repute.
The eretofore-ilIustrious prosecutor,
Mr.. Jerome, has been stripped of his
He was made to appear in vacillating,
feeble, and Ineffective light that was
surprise and shock TO his admirers
and friends. He was outgeneraled and
defeated at every turn by the attorney
for the defense. Mr.. Delmas IS reputa-
tion is made as completely as Jerome s
is destroyed, 1t was curious turn of
fate which led the self-satisfed Jerome
to the chopping block to be made mince-
meat of by an attorney from California,
of whom he probably had never before
heard, or If he had heard Of him at all
considered him of no great consequence
certainly no match for himself-tho

And what next? Probably the release
of Thaw on bail, and the dropping of
the case into practical oblivion. For
Jerome will not willingly bring this case
on again for trial while he is in office
and Delmas is alive. And, so far as
the general public is concerned, that
will be quite satisfactory disposal, for
the case has become a bore as we'll as

HER TRIUMPH OVER TIME.

She isn't Is young as she used to be,
But her laughter was never lighter:
Her hair is banching. as you may see,
But the pleasures of youth delight her;
She has kept the heart OF a girl-she
wears
A look that frightens away the cares
Which like 10 come plagung unawares,
She Is helping the world grow brighter.
What does II matter about her years
Since the graccs OF youth attend her?
She adds TO our glee and lessons our
tears
What a service that is to render,
She smiles and trouble at once departs,
She gives new courage to doubling hearts !;
All. hers Is the highest of all the arts
That add TO the worlds gay splendor.
How cheated are they who think or say
That years are the only measure
She never has foolishly put away
The youth she was born TO treasure,
Her hair Is blanching. but in her eyes
The glory OF hope serenoly lies;
She sees no skies but the bluest skies.
Her world is world of pleasures
