| Day after day, therefore, these men
covered the broad drill ground at
Washington barracks from sunrise to
sunset, and worked first with wands,
then with flags and photographs, and
far into the night with lights. The
result of these efforts brought an ex-
pertness that permitted the corps to
highly distinguish itself in the field.
But it also proved much greater
benefit for the future of Uncle Sans
army. Out in the Philippines they
discovered that the most important
feature in the field was rapid action,
and in the reorganization of the corps
when the whole army was reformed
this feature was the guiding one in
the plans.
When a recruit now enters Uncle
Sans, signal corps he is first trained
in the mastering of the three signal
codes used. These are the American
Morse code, the continental Morse and
the army and navy code. Just why
three are used is the query that often
arises in the mind of the layman, but
the answer is convincing when he
realizes that the three codes are adapt
ed to circumstances, that telegra-
piers prefer the American Morse
when they can use the wire because it
is faster, the continental Morse when
sound instruments are employed, be-
cause it is surer, and the army and
navy code when sight. signaling is
used, because it is easier.
But they are flexible codes and may
be used under any circumstances.
Thus, when a repair party was cut
off from the main body during the
Philippine instruction and shot had
disabled their only telephone, they
had merely to tap the wire and use
the bells to signal by the army and
navy code to make their plight known
and effect their rescue. 1t requires
usually about six months to become
proficient in all three of these codes

ROUGH ON THE PASSENGERS
Americans Unable to See Any Fun in
Serving as proxies" for Fight
ing Drivers.

To illustrate the assumption that
Frenchman reasons very differently
from an Anglo-Saxon, the following is
told by ali American whose business
frequently takes him to the French
capital.
This American was riding one day
in the Bots de Boulogne, when there
was tremendous disturbance just
ahead of his motor car and he saw
two thoroughly angry tourists stand
ing in the street, rubbing their heads
and denouncing somebody in language
that presently proved them to be
Americans. Two empty cabs were
standing near, the drivers of which
were hurting objurgations at each
other. The American in the motor
car could not restrain his chauffeur
from taking his part in the excite
ment He was in due time persuaded
to go on, but not until he had ascer-
tanned the cause of the trouble. The
American asked him what it was.
why, you see, monsieur" he said,
Henri ran into PiefIes cab and
scraped some of the pai1st from the
wheel. Pierre was angry G.1d swore
at Henri, whereupon Henri raid: If
you don't keep still l will HI. your
patron upon the head with my chip
Pierre answered: If you strike my
patron I'll strike yours!' Then HA&ri
hit Pierre's patron a sharp rap on NE
head, and Pierre resented the insa.t
by striking Henri's patron as hard
blow as he could"
And it did not strike the assembled

Bear in mind that the whole leVee
theory so far as it appertains to the
Mississippi, is based upon the hypo-
thesis that, by combining the flood
within levee walls, and adding to it
the flow from all continent streams,
a process of securing the bottom is
set up, and accelerated so that in
time the channel is so deepened
that the waters can be carried to
sea outlet, and in further time, as
the channel deepens more and more
levees would no longer be needed.
There is the whole theory.
Now, what has the system accom-
plished, since 1884, the year it was
Systematically begun?

Here the whole question was debat-

guished members was General Beaura

CAPITAL PUNISHMENT.

Sentimentalists of the tender-mind-
ed sort hold that society has no right
to be governed by revenge in deal
ing with criminals; that 1t has no
right to take what it cannot give.
1t is also urged that judicial proceed
ure is so complicated, and circum-
stantial evidence so unreliable that
room should be left for future rever-
sal of the verdict or mitigation OF
punishment by the reform or Subse
quent good behavior of the criminal.
Then too, abnormal psychology is
pointing out moral responsibility
through neurotic weaknesses, and
mental degeneration which tends to
a larger class of the morally insane
and thus calling for the physician
rather than the executioner.
This is all very we'll, and the pass.
ing from the revenge ideal to the
humane ideals of justice is to be well
coined as sign of human progress.
But there is another phase to this
problem which is not sufficiently en-
phasized and which is frequently
not recognized. This phase Is So
ciety's right to protect itself from
even dangerous insanity. and when
the line between crime and insani-
ty lis so indistinct, society has the
right, without revenge, to eliminate
that which it justly fears.
This is but following natures path
as she moves forward in the pro.
cess Of evolution. Here is the con-
flict out of which rises the survival
of the fittest. 1t is true that "Na-
ture is red in tooth and claw" and
she has to be in order that cosmos
shall not disappear in chaos. And
society must be governed by the
natural movement Of all life in this
matter. Hence, society too, must be
"red in tooth and claw" for its own
projections
Nor have we a right to demand
that society shall maintain at its
own expense any person or element
that is conclusively proved to be its
most dangerous enemy. Modern sem
timent and scientific research may
do much towards modifying criminal
practice and criminal treatment; but
in the last analysis it cannot, with
safety, depart from the biological
law of self-preservation. In this, as
in all other phases of natures oper-
atoms, the law of the genus must
control the course to be pursued by
the species.

the following reply:

Mr.. b. |. Daniel,
( Star Hill, La
Dear Sir:
We have your letter of the 27thI
inst, and have also received the
specimens of insects which you mail
ed under another cover. These are
common insects in this State, and wei
have known them to attack rice on
several occasions heretofore. This
insect is known technically as Oeba-
lus pugnax. They belong to the stink
bug family and do their damage by
sucking with their long, thread-like
beak. They feed and breed on some
OF the wild grasses and from there
they migrate to fields of grain like
oats and rice. 1t is probable that the
high water and extremely wet wealth
er in the low lands has driven these
insects out into the Oat fields of your
section, and it may be a number Of
years before you will have any fur
Their trouble with them, and l do not
think you need have any fear of
them becoming a permanent oat pest.
1t is now too late to remedy them
in so far as oats are concerned this
season because they have done
about all of the damage that they
can do this year. Where we have
as much waste land on which wild
weeds ard grasses are growing as we
have in Louisiana, it is hard mat
ter to control insects of this parLic'
ular nature.
There is only one thing that could
be done in times when this pest is
abundant, and that would be to build
machine known as hopperdozer
and drive it through the fields. This
machine is made with a shallow tank
at the bottom filled with either tar
or kerosene, and has walls extending
some distance above it and wings of
canvas out to each side and it is
mounted on wheels or on slide and
is carried through the field. The in
sects fly up against the slides and
then fall into the tar or kerosene,
and are killed. This machine, Of
coure, would have to be constructed
and driven through on the first ap-
pearance of the insects in order to-
destroy them before they had serious
ly attacked the crop.
This is an entirely different in
sect from the chinch bug, and under
the circumstances, / do not think it
would be necessary for me to make
trip to the locality, We are hav-
ing a great deal of trouble here on

in your territory and are doing fur

you advise me.
If at any time in the future we
can be Of any service to you, we
would be glad to have you call on us.

Of those good days when We, were
all together.
The years have Innings just as COB
let's do,
The old year is the lining of the new.
A golden lining for the future will &C.
crue
From those bright days we've known
together
Filled with the wine of precious mems
cries,
The golden was doth line the silver
is;
And so, our present from our past
appears,
AS in the good old days together.
Daily to us problems have been CIV
From which weaker heart might
we'll be driven,
But always on to victory have we
striven,
In those good days we've worked to-
gether.
And so it is that all our yesterdays
Will cast over each to-day their glo-
rious rays,
And make us what we are, always,
With aims like those we've had to-
gether.
Our class is small, our numbers are
but few,
But We have faced the tasks we had
With hearts that are honest, loyal
and true,
In the days we've worked together
All then! how sweetly close these
crowded days,
The minutes parting one by one like
rays,
And We shall each go now in sepa-
rate ways,
Bidding goodbye to days we've
known together.
Some to the fevered city's toll and
CRIME,
And some DER distant seas to a for
eign cline,
But We shall never meet as in the
time,
This dear old time that we are all
together.
So here's to all the victories We
have won,
The lessons learned, the kindness we
have done!
And may success come to us-every
one,
AS in those days we've known to-
gether
And here's to our class, and this
glad hour
When we've reached the zenith of
our High School power,
To the sweet pea blossoms-our class
flower,
And to this, our class night together.
Now, class of 1912, accept this toast,
Which, freely offered you without
one boast,
Is that all future days to you at
