The Youth and tbe Farm.

New Hampshire towns have been cele-
brating an Old Home week. and many
are the recorded words OF wisdom uttered
by visitors returning briefly to the homes
OF their boyhood. II is interesting to
observe that these pilgrims from the
outer world disclose almost uniform de-
sire TO bring themselves back TO the
farms TILED by their frugal ancestors.
This feeling has led to expressions OF
sympathy with the movement to retain
the growing youth on the land. The com
petitive struggle In the cities. In the pro-
fessions and in business. grows more and
more severe. It is a symptom Of its
hardships that the urban dweller turns In
stinctively. when. summer opportunity
permits. for vacation recreation amid
the scenes OF toll on the farm. II is
true that these visitors are only on
lockers at the physical labor Of getting
the hay into the barn; but they find rest
in the mere spectacle OF such labor. II
is one Of the pleasures Of contrast.
coupled with the charm Of Renaissance.
Perhaps It is a natural impulse that
inspires the advice to the farmers lad
to stay at home. This is sometimes re-
enforced with the reminder that agrl-
culture IS the source OF wealth. the i'm
plication being that he who does faith
fully the morning and evening chores
may wax greater than he who taketh In
deposits at the city bank. Perhaps there
is no State in the New England group
where such counsel is OF harder applica-
ton than rugged New Hampshire. The
lad afeld may pause to dream of Daniel
Webster or Of other men whom that
State has seat forth 10 eminence. His
discomfort in part arises from longing
for education. But he may learn that
education has its practical side. The In
dustrial schools Of the city should have
a parallel IN the country. There should
be district schools in the science Of agrI-
culture. Such a movement Is under way
In Massachusetts, and It merits imitation
elsewhere.

A BIT OF SLANG HISTORY.
Popular Expression First Saw light
in Army Circles.

frum the Army and NaTy Journal
Capt Henry G. Lyon, L. S. A, was the
innocent cause OF the now popular ex-
preston about making a noise ike" this
or that. At PeekskilI. in 1906 he gave in
struction to officers OF the New York Ma
uonal Guard doing duty IN that tour OF
camp. The first day he formed the Off
GERS into a class I'm the big mess hall
which was open al the sides 50 that all
that went on inside was seen and heard

forth. In teaching the officers how 10

clear enuniciation and o. making com
mands Ike an officer. saying rms. 9"
not jumps, &c. The prlvates' capacity
for turning things TO their own amuse-
ment was shown a few minutes after
that first class was dismissed. for officers
going through their company streets
heard prlvates IN front Of a group OF
men shouting out: Make a noise Ike an
officer" whereupon the entire class
would roar jumps" a reporter sent an
account 70 New York paper, and from
this grew expressions such as Make
a noise ike a hoop and roll away" &C
However, II Is seldom one hears the
word arms" or march" the voice find
Ing It much easter to slur the word till it
may mean anything, and as the pre-
paratory command indicates what IS 10

a signal for the execution OF what has

CoascriptiOn.

In all the fantastic propositions which
have been made in behalf OF the offensive
and defensive characteristics Of this coun-
try. nothing strikes Us as being quite
so hystericel as the suggestion attributed
to Gen. A R. Chahee, United States
army. retired. that the government re-
sort to conscription IN order TO provide
itself with a military force which VIII be
Of dimensions. equipment and training
that viii furnish a body OF troops suf-
ficient to meet the military necessity In
time Of war. 1t is surprising to find that
this ulTa-military exaction Is received
with approval In some quarters. where II
might be expected 10 encounter impatient
remonstrance. It IS true that the coun-
try. in time Of war with formidable foe.
would require a military force which far
augmented By their allies OF the National
Guard and Naval Reserves. It is prepos-
ferrous, however. TO entertain for a mo-
ment the proposal Of resort to oonscrip-
ton. II the organized militia, fostered
as it has been by the general govern
ment. sustained as It Is from military ap-
preparations. and the object Of special
care, training. and aid from the War
Department, does not furnish a suf-
fcient force upon which to draw in time
Of emergency. the country viii have TO
suffer such consequences as may be visit
ed upon II In time OF trouble grave as
such a menace may be and disastrous
as may also be the consequences.
Unless this country Is TO have a mill
tary-ridden and a soldier-b urdened popu-
lation and give W It's occupation TO the
maintenance OF armed forces on land and
sea, there can be no other situation than
that which now prevails-a standing
army and navy TO meet ordinary demands
and to form a nucleus of larger force,
with an organized militia which shall be
entirely voluntary in its composition and
the personnel Of which shall be trained
as nearly as possible along practical lines.
There must necessarily be dependence
upon volunteers IA the calamity Of a
great war. and there VIII inevitably be
the period OF initial disaster while such
untried and unframed troops are being
fitted for service. 1t is perhaps only
natural that military experts whose life
business has been that OF the preparation
for or participation in, war should feel
that all other forms Of activity must be
subordinated to the military training %
a country. But even that does not war
rant the serious thought Of compulsory
military service unless the farm and the
factory are to be deserted and industry
and commerce are to be added to the
lost arts.

Mr.. Cannon VS.. Mr.. Parsons

II Is evident enough that the sensa-
tional charges Of Mr.. Herbert Parsons
against Speaker Cannon are either er-
ceedingly grave or ehildlshIy ridiculous
When sifted thoroughly and honestly
as they certainly should be-they win IN
evitably serve greatly to discredit Mr.
Cannon or Mr.. Parsons. one or the other
In commenting on these charges, the
Speaker enters sweeping and specific
denial Of their truthfulness In these
words:
There IS nothing IN the story. : have never
entered into deal OF any kind at any time With
Tammany Hall. II there was a deaf with
Tammany forces. why doesn't Parsons say who wa
in it' Why doesn't he give the namssf'
That utterance certainly makes an is
sue TO the merits Of which Mr.. Parsons
must plead frankly and aboveboard. or
suffer much IN reputation himself The
Speakers demand for names and specific
details is not at all unreasonable. An
accusation such as the New York Con-
gresham advances cannot be supported
by generalities or hearsay. His indict-
ment must be clear and understandable;
his testimony must be unimpeachable and
admissible; his argument must be based
on evidence entitled TO serious consld-
Grafton. He is the plaintiff in this pro
ceeding. so to speak; he has put the de-
PENDANT on trial. and Mr.. Parsons must
make out his case fully before asking
for a verdict
Whatever the real truth Of these
charges may be. it IS 20 be hoped they
Will be thrashed out exhaustively in or
der that that truth may be established.
II is becoming more and more probable
every day that the Speaker is in for
an early fight TO a finish for his official
life. For divers and sundry reasons
this, that. and the other member OF his
own household is turning against him
some for good reasons. some for bad
reasons, and some for Indifferent reasons.
Not every Congressman who accuses Mr..
Cannon is an unselfsh patriot; not every
one is a malcontent and a sorehead
There is ample reason for some OF the
adverse criticism leveled at him. OF
course; there is much injustice and hys-
terra in the pack swapping at his heels
and bowling "Cannonism." "czor," "au-
tocrat" and so on, without having the
fsintest conception Of what It really is
bowling about.
Wherefore, we are moved TO hope that
Mr. Parsons win speedily como forward

DISCREDITS HISTORY.
Paris Newspaper Has New Theory in
Regard TO Louis XVI Eft Al.

EaEAh NtNhDaDtE mas NtW AneoFs IN
Regard TO Louis XVI Eft Al.
From the New Orleans PiCayuue.
The world has believed until now that
on January 26. 1913. Louis XVI was de-
capitated az Paris The Matin. Of that
city, now makes the statement that n
was Louis XIX whose head fell under
the guillotine The assertion is based
on the alleged fact that II has been dis
covered that the name Of Clovis-in Ger
man Chlodwig-is simply the name Lud-
wig or Louis in an old form Hence the
three French kings OF the name OF Clovis
must be counted with the Louis line, and
by doing this the enumeration as Il Is
now recognized falls as incorrect. TT
was not Louis Ky, but Louis XVIII who
befriended Pompadour and Du Barry
The question as TO whether the watch
maker Naundorf was really Louis XVII
Is positively decided against Naundorf.
and it Is found that the people OF Paris
who shouted after the Hundred Days
Long live Louis XVIII| should have
shouted 'Yive Louis XIII" says the

At eighty-two degrees
The earth Is bare
No peaceful prospects please
With verdure rare.
At eighty-three degrees
Are bleaker scenes.
There are no spreading trees,
No golfing green's.
At eighty-flve degrees
We leave behind
All butterflies and bees,
All human kind.
At eighty-six degrees
Explorers state.
The pies and pickles freeze
And desiccate.
At lightweight degrees,
With senses numb,
A chap begins TO wheeze
And faiter some.
At eighty-nine degrees

And crawls on hands and knees
Up TO the pole.
