AWAY.


Il won't be long" the Little Boy said.
As he clattered him down the stair,
And found him hat for his curly head
And called dog somewhere.
Then off like flash down the shady
lane
With whistle and cry and song:
And back to us ever it came again:
Il won't be gone very long"
7 won't be long the Little Boy said,
AS We saw him among the trees,
His eyes all bright and cheeks all
red,
friend of the birds and bees:
Then through the hedges and out of
the gate,
For naught in the world goes wrong
With a boy OF six or seven or eight
Z won't be gone very long.
q won't be long the Little Boy said.
I'm just going out to play
And the curly dog barked and the two
OF them sped
Over the clover away.
he waved US a kiss with a little brown
hand
And cries rose from here and there,
For oh, but a boy does understand
A dog and the open air,
q won't be long" the Little Boy said.
Don't wait any superior see,
I'll just have bowl of milk and bread
And my dog viii eat with me-
Then he swung his hat on its tangled
string
Till the curly dog wagged his tail
And romped and played like boy in
spring
And barked him comrades tail.
81 won't be long, the Little Boy said
Oh. Mother Of him, don't cry,
The leaves come green again, yellow
and red.
And the years and the years go by.
But sometime he'll come, as we've
seen him do,
With the bark of dog and song.
For it must be true-oh. It must be
true
That he'll not be gone very long,

Enforced Water Wagon.

The operation of that old Indian
land statutory contract brings about
a remarkable situation in this state.
All or parts of IA counties are sudden
ly to be made dry" In order to
make effectual the federal statute
which prohibits the giving or selling of
liquor to the Indian, this large terri
tory has been mapped out and the
chief special officer of the government
is directed by Indian Commissioners
Valentine vigorously to enforce the
law. This is the sequence of the raid
by this officer. who rejoices in the
cognomen of "Pussyfoot," which re-
suited in exciting scenes in the clos
ing of saloons within the Indian Ter
ritorq'' vet outside of the delineated
reservations.
Coming just at this time, when
county option is obtruding itself as a
state political issue, this order creates
what would be designated in diplo-
matte circles as an interesting status
quo. With these IA counties and parts
of counties deprived of the option right
and forced into prohibition condition
whether or no. the effect upon the po-
litical campaigns is not altogether
clear. What is to become of the coun-
ty option issue? How far will 1t be
overshadowed and blotted out by the
czarlike ukase which. orders this ex-
pansfve territory forthwith to climb
upon the water wagon ?-St. Paul Dis

None So Blind.

A committee of Cancellation sought
to settle a strike in Brooklyn n. Y
The vice president, who was also the
general manager of the company
against which the strike was directed
said to the committee:
This business is a one-man affair
and / intend to brook no interference
on the part of employees or the pub
lie"
1t happens that this company is a
part of a great trust, using all the
most advanced methods of capitalistic
cooperation to promote it's business
and profit Recognizing the value OF
conbination in one direction and in
sisting upon its lawfulness and its
moral right to exist, it denounces COM
bination among its workers as unlaw-
full. 1t denies the right of the public
to interfere while yet counting upon
the public to support its own indus
trial practices.
The possibilities for self-binding
among the so-called captains have
still, we suppose, to be exhausted
Selfshness can be cultivated to a de-
gree where 1t expects ACKNOWLEDGMENT
from the neighbor as a natural right
and a miracle from heaven, in time of
need, as it's just desert. The captain
is captain because society pleases. He
will have to realize. painful as the
process is, that he can be reduced to
the ranks-when society pleases.-To-

PARALYZED LAW.

The Charlton murder case illustrates
the fact that it is possible for a tech
nicality to completely check justice if
the authorities are correct. That a
murder of the most horrible character
has been committed is confessed-an
American woman by an American hus-
band-and yet American authorities
say that If Charlton is not tried. in
Italy he cannot be tried here-that he
must be turned loose. In the face of
crime confessed this looks more like
stupidity than any exhibit that has
ever been made on the part of the
judicial arm of the government
Italy, en- the other hand, claims the
for crimes committed anywhere on
earth, and this seems more to the
point.
A country like America would de-
grade itself before the world to upon
such grounds turn a murderer loose.
Charlton does not need more freedom,
but the moose. If criminals can by
Turing their victims to foreign coun-
tries and doing away with them and
then rushing home paralyze the law,
where Is its strength or its majesty?
If this country cannot punish Charl-
ton for killing his wife he should be
returned to Italy promptly as promo
tive of justice and the cultivation of
that respect for the law which will
conserve order and make mob-law and
lynching defenseless.
1t would be a crime on the plea
that the country is without authority
to turn such a culprit loose He would
have reason to. regard the law as
joke and to himself laugh at it.

Veterans and Recruits.

If Leonard Wood, Md, major gen.
eral and chief of staff understands the
relative value of old soldiers and re-
cruits, everybody else connected with
the army. time out of mind, has been
entirely wrong.
For some time there has been a
rage for younger commanding officers
and competent men in the prime OF
life are now put on the retired list
in order that some youngsters may
get up faster. This mania for youth
has now SO infected General Wood
that he says: GAS it exists today ii
may be described as an army of vet
Grams. When such is the case there
is danger of loss of enthusiasm. The
soldier who has seen from 5 to 20
years of service does not accept in
structions as readily as a recruit"
We will venture to say that there is
not a company officer in the United
States army who will assent to this,
and we do not believe that there is a
field officer who will do so. General
Wood never served with the men ex-
cept for few months with a regi-
ment of volunteers. Before that he was
in the medical department, and since
that he has been general officer.
1t has always been the established
policy to do everything to keep the
enlisted men in the service. The pay
has been increased, an extra allowance
has been made for age. retired list
has been provided, liberties and priv
ileges have been provided for the en-
listed men. all for the purpose of in
ducing them to re-enlist. Year after
year the commanding officers in their
annual reports deplore the paucity of
seasoned soldiers, to whom military
life has become second nature. The
recruit is regarded as hardly worth
his rations until he has been in the
service two or three years. and Gen
eral Wood thinks five is a little too
much.
There is no trouble about getting
an army of raw recruits. The Wood
policy can be put into operation in
80 days. Plenty of youngsters offer
to enlist, and it will be the easiest
thing in the world to make sure that
they will leave the service at the end
of one term of enlistment, il not soon

SITES FOR woMAN's COLLEGE.

Norwich ought to make q bid for
the proposed woman's college in this
state. There are large estates in the
market here at most reasonable prices
most desirably located. The David A.
Wells and the John F. Slater estates
abut one another and extend from
Broadway through to Washington
street, giving high land in the best
residential part of the city, which
would accommodate a large institu-
ton, and the fine old colonial houses
upon them could be utilized for resi-
dences for the faculty or for dormitor-
les. Then there are large landed estates
bordering Yantic cove which would
afford ample room for a. beginning and
any increase of facilities which might
be needed.
Norwich as the educational center
of eastern Connecticut has other at
fractions which would serve as auxil-
Iiaries for such an institution-its two
well equipped libraries which are of
such value to our public school sys-
tenn
For beauty, accessibility and faci1i-
ties to promote such a college few cit
les in the state have more to offer
than ''the Rose of New England"
