THERE'S SOMETHING IN THE ENG
LISH AFTER ALL.

I've been mSditating lately that when
everything is told.
There's something in tEe English after
all.
They may be too bent on conquest and
TOO eager after gold,
But there's something in the English
Though their sins ard faults are many.
and 1 won't exhaust my breath
BY endeavOring 10 tell you OF them all,
Yet they have a sense Of duty, ana
they'll face II 20 the death,
SO there's something in the English
after all
If you're wounded by a savage foe ane
bUgles sound Retire"
There's something in the English after
oil.
You may bet your life they'll carry YOU
beyond the zone OF FIRE;
For there's something in the English
Yes. although their guns be empty, and
their blood be ebblng fatt,
And 10 stay by wounded comrades be
TO fall.
Yet they'll set their teeth like bulldogs
and protect you to the last,
after all.
When a British ship is lost at sea, OH
then ! know you'll find
That there's something in the English
There's no panic rush for safety, where
the weak are left behind,
For there's something in the English
after all:
But the women and the children are
the first to leave the wreck.
With the men in line as steady as d
wall,
And the captain is the last to stand
upon the recling deck.
So there's something in the English
after all.
Though the half Of Europe hates them
and would joy in their decline
Yet there's something in the English
after all:
They may scorn the scanty numbers OF
the thin red British line,
Yet they fear its lean battalions after
all:
For they know that. from the colonel to
the drummer in the band.
There IS not sirgle soldier I'm them
all
But would so to blind destruction, were
their country TO command,
And call II simply duty-after all

Men That Mean Business.

The spirit shown at last nights
meeting of the building committee
of the Chamber of Commerce is
proof of something more than an
earnest desire 10 erect a home for
the Chamber. It evidences also a
purpose to give the project every
advantage of a good investment
The more Of such caution guides
the energies of the committee. the
more confidence the community will
have in its building plans and in the
Chamber.
1t is good TO see the disposition
of the committeeman TO make their
money talk. Practically every man
who spoke last night announced his
purpose to subscribe for stock in
the building, and, before the meet
ing adjourned, half n dozen or more
had informed either the committee
or their neighbors of their purpose
now TO double their original sub
scriptions.
This means that Washington may
at last expect 10 have an appro-
pirate and productive center for its
business life. And why not? Prac-
tically every city of Washington's
class and the two or three classes
next below has such a building. As
far as can be learned, every other
such city has found its building
financially profitable to the stock
holders.
The Chamber of Commerce had
its eyes opened wide at Norfolk
There, in a city only a sixth as large
as the Chambers home town. stood
a handsome building, bearing the
name of Norfolk's chief business
bodies, and devoted in large part to
the social intercourse of its bust
ness met and the extension of cour-
tesies and hospitality to their bust
ness visitors What indianapolis,
Portland, Seattle, Kansas City, and
Norf TX can do-to say nothing of
larger cities like St. Louis. Cincin-
natl, and Chicago-Washington can
do, and ought to have done long
ago.

No Flinching Herel

The President has said at Keokuk
the only thing, being sworn to en-
force the Constitution, that he
could say:
We cannot AFFORD 10 substitute
any other test for that of guilt or
innocence, of WrOngdOinS or we'll
doing, in Judging any man. If a
man does well, if he acts honestly,
he has nothing to fear from this
Administration. But so far as in
me lies the corrupt politician, great
or small. the private citizen who
transgresses the IaW-be he rich or
pOor-shaII he brought before the
impartial Justice of a court.
Any other answer to the remon-
strances that his prosecutions of
supposed law-breakers were hurt
ing business" must have written
him down a recreant to his plain
duty snd eonniver at crime. If, in
their hearts, any financial interests,
great or small, in fact expected
Theodore Roosevelt to take any
other stand they must have been
blind alike to every consideration of
political produce and personal hon
esty.

One Who Suffered.

No man ever yet bore all the pain
of his own wrong. But few wrong
doers see hanging before their eyes
so pitiable a picture as that which
must burn the sight of the grafters
who employed an ambitious young
sculptor to decorate the PennsyI-
vania capitol, and then brought him
to beggary by breaking their faith.
The American Architect tells the
story. But the artist himself is the
real author. His account to the in
vestigation commission, so simple.
so heavy with sickening details, so
indignant and yet so impotent,
would make it seem that even Penn
sylvania's grafters must have re-
Tented if only they knew-as it was
their business TO know. Through
out the entire inquiry not even a
sweeping denial appears. The only
defense noted was that an "ofice
boy" to whom had been entrusted
the writing of letter, was ito
blame for the agony"
Barnard-hls name is George GRAY
Barnard--had been permitted to go
to Paris, set up a studio, and begin
work, with the required number of
assistants, in expectation that he
should receive from Architect Jo-
seph NJ. Huston $4,000 a month. A
little was paid toward the promised
total of 100000. Then nothing.
Then debt for the studio and the
helpers. Then a visit from the ar
chitect's brother, and an alleged
agreement to pay $4,000 for a work
called The Prodigal Son" set aside

So ] closed up my studios and went TO

entirely broken down, and had to stay

IL never did any good.
Think of these letters going into

Barnard was toasted; and Architect
hve minutes of u, and 1 want TO say
that If / could sign my name to any
one of those statues down in that old
grange in Moret 1 would give my life
up tonight"
Yet, after that toast, the young
artist went fourteen months with
out a cent! He put it to the com
mitcee thus:
Here had been fourteen months that 1
was without money, and twelve months
of those I spent in the southern part Of
France collecting antiques in order TO

France collecting fragments Of broken

chants in Paris and selling them for

my wife and children over and come
over myself, and also 70 settle up all

me to come over, and we could fix II;
but I could not fix IT., and I could not
leave all those men. | had six studios
full of things; but I settled all up, and
acre am, and there IS your story.
We think, when that story was
told the investigation commission
and read by these grafters in the
papers, even they must have felt
like a proper sense of
meanness as they con-
trasted their own conduct with the
splendid fight this young victim
made to pay their debts and to save
his own wife and children.
