There is something in a flag and lit
tie FURNISHED eagle
That is more than emblematic--it is
glorious, 1t is regal
You may never live to feel it--you may
never be in danger;
You may never visit foreign lands, and
play the role of stranger;
You may never in the army check the
march of an invader;
You may never on the ocean cheer the
swarthy cannonader;
But if these should happen to you,
then, when age is on you press
ing,
And your great big BOBBY boy comes
to ask your final blessing;
You will tell him; Son of mine, be your
station proud or frugal,
When your country calls her children,
and Won hear the blare of bugle
Don't YOU stop to think of Kansas, or
the quota of your county,
Don't you go to asking questions don t
you stop for pay or bounty,
But you volunteer at once, and you go
where orders take you,
And obey them TO the letter, If they
make you or they break you,
Hunt that flag, and then stay with 1t,
be you wealthy or plebeian;
Vet the woman sing the dirges scrape
7 the lint and chant the paean.
Though the magazines and Journals
TEEN with anti-war persuasion,
And the stay-at homes and towards
gladly take the like occasion.
Don't you ever dream of asking Is the
war right or wrong one?
You are in 1t, and your duty Is to make
the fight a strong one,
And you stay till 1t Is over, be the war
short or long one;
Make amends when war Is over, then
the power with you is lying.
o. n MN ft1a 1iie lra 1Afvf
that flag, you keep 1t flying;
If the flag goes down to ruin, time will
then without warning,
Turn the dial back to midnight and the
world must wait till morning.
Eugene Ware.

SOMEWHAT INDEFINITE. ~,

A church in Oklahoma has an inter-
esting and important question to deal
with. By reason Of the application of
a negro for membership in the church
it is divided for and against the would
be brother. This church observes the
rite of the "holy kiss" Most of the
members object to the osculatory prac-
tice, and are in favor of suspending
the rules in this instance, Others be-
heve that they can't get to Heaven and
refuse to kiss the negro
AS we have the Connecticut legisla-
ture and a few other questions press
ing we cannot spare time to settle this
Oklahoma problem, but it seems plain
that if one can get to Heaven by

OUR CONTEMPORARIES.
MIR. Guggenheim's Case.


On Mr.. Guggenhelm's own state-
ment we can only conclude that he dld
buy his way into the United States SEN
ate He did not bribe any member Of
the Legislature, because the men who
got his money got 1t before they were
elected But undoubtedly the money
given to the candidates proved to be a
strong argument in favor of the avail
ability of MIR. Guggenheim. 1t seems
to be agreed that, under ordinary con-
ditions, he would not have been
thought of, We should think that this
was case into which the United
States Senate might properly inquire
Ii is the sole Judge of the qualifications
OF its members. And while there are
no doubt, other men in that body who
have done practically the same thing
as that done by MIR Guggenheim, they
have not been so chlldishly innocent al
publicly to admit it. Is man who
advances money to legislative candi-
dates in largo sums, who is elected by
the men 10 whom he gave the money
and who admits the truth OF the whole
story, and even says that he supposes
the men whom he favored were CRATE
ful---is such a man fit to be member
of the Senate?

HELPFUL AND McDESr.

There are bears in the coat Of arms
Of the State Of Missouri and there has
been suggestion that the noble,
noted and useful Missouri mule should
take the place Of them. This has not
been well received. The sturdy and
sterling merit of the mule is gratefully
acknowledged, but he is not thought to
be quite heightened enough to figure on
coat Of arms. Now the suggestion is
made that the Missouri hen displace
the bears and this doesn't seem to be
enthusia stically received, though 1t is
backed up by the fact that the eggs
shipped from fifty counties in Mis-
souri,, leaving sixty-four yet to hear
from, If placed end on end would build
a monument 221 1882 times higher than
the washington shaft 1t is further fig
ured that last year the hen products Of
the fifty counties from which the re-
turns are in brought $15,775,1 1860. If
the sixty-four other counties crowed
and cackled in a like proportion the
whole sum would be over $3o,OOO,0oO.
No wonder they call her the Helpful
Hen. She wouldn't, Of course care a
snap about being painted on Missourrs
coat of arms, but she deserves to be.
A hen setting would be quite as inn
pressive, if properly looked at, as a
tiger COUGHING, or bear ramping.

The announcement that farm lands in
the state Of New York have fallen off
$17O, 600, 900 in value in the last twenty
five years and that there are now with
in it's borders twelve thousand aban-
doned farms, capable of caring for a
population of 25O,oOO, is surprising, not
to say startling New York Is called
the Empire state, and it has been
generally supposed that that part of
the empire situated outside of Wall
street was steadily flourishing and con-
tributing its full share to the prosperi-
ty of Wall street. What can be done
about it? Not much perhaps, except
what has been done in New England in
the way OF Summer boarders and
Summer residents If some, or many, OF
those who are crowding into and crowd
ing Greater New York could be per-
suaded to go to farming that would
be happy relief of the situation. But
New York city life seems to be good
enough for those who are most strong
ly advised to get out of 1t and who most
need to get out Of It.
Perhaps by and by Greater New York
will cover the whole of the State and
then the land will be worth something.
At the rate it is growing nothing seems
impossible for It, The time may even
come when 1t will absorb Chicago.

EYEN BRYAN.

What Mr. Bryan believed has never
been of as much account as the fact
that he believed. He was stable in a
world of change. All things else might
flow and fluctuate, now contract and
now dilate, but he was ever the same
true, staunch friend Of silver and such.
So when he started in to be a friend
of ultimate government ownership Of
railroads it was felt that there was an
other hard spot in quichsand world.
Now he has changed ultimate to indeti-
mite and the dervish-whirling is on
again.
1t is a pity, yea, thousand pities?
Is there nothing to stand on, or hold
to? 1t is still, we suppose, generally
felt that Bryan is friend Of the peo-
Pile, but is he about to give even that
feeling the shakes. or the shake?

NO GREAT TEMPTATION.

The Swedes who have come to this
country have come here to better their
condition, and many Of them have so
bettered It that they are hard to suit
If they are not we'll satisfied with what
they have been able to do and get in
this free and generous land. They
make desirable citizens, and by their
industry and thrift they add much to
the general good as we'll as to their
own. 1t is not surprising that they are
missed in Sweden and that the King of
Sweden would like to have them come
back to the old home. The new Swedish
minister to this country is about to
open In New York bureau, through
which any Swedish-American may re-
ceive information as to the conditions
of his trade in Sweden and the pros
poets of prosperity there. 1t will make
known, for example, that the Industrial
awakening VI 0Weuel mas oroueHl
about demand for skilled mechanics
and that there is a shortage in this
class of labor That is, the appeal of
the government of Sweden to Swedish
Americans is based on promises to pro-
mote their economic interests.
1t may be that there are better OPP
portunities for work and wages in
Sweden than there have been. A
committee of investigation into the
causes of emigration, comprising one
hundred leading men mi Sweden, says,

in a circular sent to Swedish-American
editors and pastors: THE committee
believes that the principal causes for
emigration from Sweden are the lack
Of sufficient opportunity for work and
the difficulty of reaching a position of
independence, and the consequent diff
ficulties placed in the way of marriage
and the establishment of a home"
This is true enough to make it i'm
probable that any great number of
the swedes who have come to this
country can be tempted to go back.
They know when they are well off. The
swedes in New Haven can't afford to
go back.

THE NEW MOVEMENT.

The city OF New Haven mas no rea-
son to fear loneliness in its search for
more beautiful raiment In all parts
Of the country municipalities are
awakening to the economic value of
making cities beautiful and by plan
ming for more attractive public build
ings further awakening the people res
ident there Announcement has Just
been made that Governor Guild of
Massachusetts and Mayor Fitzgerald
of Boston have agreed upon the mem
bers who are to constitute the perman-
ent Improvement commission. The
city Of Hartford has been at work for
months with plans for improving that
city and expects that the completion
of the new bridge over the raging Con-
necticut will lead business men to i'm
prove their places of business and
householders to beautify their homes
| In this new movement to prosper by
the economics of a city beautiful sight
has been lost of the fact that as in
many other improved conditions OF life
the women of the small towns deserve
the credit. The origin. of these under
taklngs must be sought In village I'M
provement societies which at first con-
cerned themselves with the problem of
clean streets and moved steadily on
to clean buildings. In practically all
of the small towns Of the State of Con-
lnecticut these enterprising bands of
women appealed to the merchants and
manufacturers for assistance and when
they found the establishment Of their
work to be secure they left the rest to
local government. The attractiveness
of Connecticut villages soon came to
be noted. The introduction of the au-
tomoblle has further stimulated them
to broaden the scope OF their work un-
It'll 1t can be safely said that within
fifteen years New England will be one
beautiful park from the New York
State line to the Canadian line. The
credit viii in the largest measure be
due the women Of New England, who
are always quicker to appreciate the
beautiful In nature as well as In the
works of men.
| We spoke the other day, as an exam
iple of the work which could be we'll
done by the committee appointed by
Mayor studley to beautify New Haven.
OF the improvement Of the bridges to be
built over the cut. An interview with
the city engineer gave the information
that an ordinance was passed during
the administration Of Mayor Sargent
(which requires sideboards on all Of
the bridges Of not less than Ave feet in
height. AS long as this ordinance re-
mains on the city books II Is folly FOR
the committee to confer with the rail-
AObN OllGlclsJ WulCIl is dnUltl6E Way OF
saying that the sooner that ordinance
is repealed the better for all con-
cerned. We speak of the bridge
situation again, not for the
purpose Of renewing our urgent
arguments in behalf Of new bridges, but
to forcibly illustrate the difficulties
which beset an improvement comnnis-
sion in It's attempt to make headway.
II we are to have city beautiful here
everyone must put a. shoulder to the
wheel and move II along, and in par
ticular the city of New Haven must
do away with legal restrictions which
hinder the movement.

Dear friend, who hast upon thy Won
der journey gone
That Wonder journey each must under
take alone.
Our misty eyes gaze on the spot where
thou didst stand,
Our life of earth lies faint without thy

A slender youth, we saw thee on thy
wedding morn,
we watched, with added years, the
finer spirit born;
A spirit strong, and broad to take a
kindly view,
with wisdom to decide and willingness
to do,
OF these thy ripened gifts, our mem
cries arise
Like prisons, to reach and penetrate
the skies
or that fair sphere, to which thy spirit
now is brought,
Where new commands are given, and

There may these memories rise TO
bless thee in that land,
What che result shall be, no man may
understand.
