Grant spoke, and they have brought as
many changes to America as to any
other country. Great changes have taken
place everywhere. We have assimilated
millions of foreign-born men. and become
a world power. New problems. of both a
political and a business nature. have
arisen. But we are still building on the
old foundations, and still secure in our
institutions. The republic is still oppor-
tunity-still represents the greatest good
to the greatest number.
Mr. Fairbanks is out OF office, but
probably not out OF politics, and when
he resumes operations at the old stand
he may find use for much that investi-
cations of older peoples and older forms
of government have taught him.

MARCH.

From the Milwaukee Sentinel.
1t does not matter. as we can see,
whether the lion or the lamb wins the at
mCspheric handicap. there will be just the
same GUESSING of the weather for two
months more.
From the Concord Monitor.
With all its faults. it's the month Of
maple sugar.
From the Milwaukee Journal.
March came in like lamb. Perhaps
there are no lions left.
From the Toledo Blade.
March is here and the first robin will
soon arrive. Then comes spring fever
and base ball. with an increase in the
batting average Of the joy Of living.
From the Leavenworth Times.
March. having come I'm like a bongo,
will undoubtedly go out like an eeland.
From the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
No wonder March was unwilling to ap-
pear a lion, seeing the dire fate that has
overtaken so many of the leonine tribe
during the coloners travels in Africa.

When life is past
You'll never have an ache again.

A Commanding Figure.

He holds the lightning meath his sway
And turns 1t on and Off at will:
He signals and we clear the way.
To let him show his speedy skill.
His eye Is stern and gratefully
We catch 1t every time we can.
When from the distant curb we see
That mighty one, the motor man.
No chariot in an ancient land
Was greeted thus when passing by,
With echoing shout and waving hand,
Or disappointment's hapless cry.
When eagerness for power and place
Leads men to struggle or to plan,
Why run the ordinary race,
When you can be motor man7

A Crime-Prevention Law Needed.

While Congress is considering the ques-
ton Of probation and parole system
Tor the District Of Columbia for the pur-
pose of tightening the burden OF crime
imposed upon the community by partially
RENTING punishments without lessening
the responsibility Of the individual, 1t
might broaden its inquiry somewhat and
look into the matter of crime proven
ton. which is, after all, the highest form
OF legislation for the security Of life and
property. 1t is illogical for the law. while
denouncing and Furnishing the taking of
life, at the same time to permit the free
and virtually unrestrained traffic in muir
derous weapons. The courts are con-
stantly sentencing to prison men and
women for shooting others. and still the
streets are dotted with establishments
where with no difficulty whatever the i'm
plements of slaughter may be obtained
at a trifling cost. Every man who har-
bors grievance against another, or who
cenceives sudden animosity. or who is
inflamed by jealousy or the spirit OF re-
venge. may within few minutes arm
himself to take human life He is asked
name and an address, but no precau-
tons are taken to insure honesty in the
answers. Even truthful return Is of
no value as deterrent. The weapon OBJ
tained, the murder process is started. No
check is interposed between the would-b
assassin and the accomplishment Of his
purpose.
1t has been repeatedly urged upon Con-
gress that a law be passed requiring the
issuance Of a permit by court before
any dealer is permitted to sell danger
GUS weapon. Such a system would not
deprive the people of the constitutional
right to bear arms. That right does not
mean the right of any man to make a
masked battery OF himself. Amy person
whip IS in danger, whose occupation is
such that he is possibly an object Of at
tack. who is intrusted with valuables.
might under such a system arm himself
sufficiently with little difficulty upon sat
isfying tho court Of the sufficiency Of his
motive and Of his standing in the COM
munity as law-abiding, responsible citi-
zen. In this day there are few emergen-
cies which justify the immediate procure
ment of weapon.
In most of the homicide cases 1t is found
that the weapons used have been pro-
cured for the specific purpose OF the
crime. The safeguards against slaughter
have become so lax In most OF the cities
that they are worthless. Recently In
Boston a shooting case was tried In court
and witness admitted that he sold the
pistol to the defendant, a woman, after
she had given a clear inttmation that
she wanted it to kill a man. This dealer
should have been held as an accessory
before the fact. The law should thus
define every dealer In weapons who sells
to any customer deadly implement with
out having been authorized to do so by
an order Of the court issued upon formal
application and after careful considera-
ton.

VARIOUS VERSES
ON TIMELY TOPICS
JOY IN AFRICA.

There's JOY today In Africa.
The beasts are having fun,
For Teddy has pulled down his tents
And put away his gun.
The hippo and the elephant
Are filled with pure delight,
And lions once again resume
Their promenade At night.
And all the other beasts now have
chance To catch their breath,
And take a little Jungle air
Without the fear of death
In fact. the Jungle is en- fete,
And beasts that have been hid
Are coming out Of caves and dens
And lifting on the lid.

POOR old LAMA.

The Dalai Lama found that he
A change Of climate needed:
He paused not for the brisk Chinee.
But from his throne seeded.
He skipped across the border line
With hair and cloak x-dying:
No more upon the throne he'll shine
With slaves about him lying.
How brief is earthly glory when
Your enemy is stronger:
The Lamas ruled q million men
Which they can rule no longer
The IAmas ruled thousand years
And nanght their pride could humble:
The last one is beset by fears
Take warning by his tumble.

Political
Activity.

Oh 1S0U. state conventions
were being held to elect. delegates at large
both to the Chicago meeting OF the repub-
lican party and the Charleston meeting Of
the democracy. In The Star of March B.,
1850. is the following comment on the can
didacy OF Senator Douglas for the demo-
cratic nomination:
1T Is well known In political circles
here that Senator Douglas and his leading
adherents have played very bold and
really amusing game with more than a
score of gentlemen in public life now or
ambitious to be again In public life. He
and they have pledged the reversion Of
his strength in the Charleston convention
to at least six would-be candidates for the
presidential nomination, and his support
and that Of his party for the vice pres
idential nomination to at least twenty
two. His condition made for the rever-
sion of his presidential strength Is that
the promised recipient Is to labor with
might and main to secure him as heavy q
complimentary vote as possible. With
those he tickles with the vice presidential
straw the condition is virtually that his
partisans in the convention will vote for
tho nomination Of him who is most eff1-
cient in securing his (Mr. D.'s) nomination
for the presidency. The ways around us
say that II every one of Mr.. Douglas
promises be carried out we shall have
hereafter a government with ten Pres
idents. forty Vice Presidents and besides
the depopulatiOn OF the country by and
through the number Of American minis
ters sent to foreign courts"
