Presidential srist..

To the Editor of the Evening Star:
Where are our political convictions?
Everybody is against everybody and
nobody Is for anybody. The press and
the public do not hesitate to say whom
they do not want for President, but
they seem to be lost in a maze of indie
cision when they try to mention presi-
Dental possibilities. Wonder If this
maze hasn't risen like a misty cloud
from the north shore of Long
Island, near Oyster Bay, and spread
broadcast over the country? Wonder,
also, If the lord of the mist" alone
could not shine and dispel the gloom?
I. WONDER,

liceman to his house to help him mind

geant.
"Damfno,' replied the man. land

attend a meeting of my lodge. which Is

whom I want to see ride the goat.
"Well, I guess you will have to in

"Have you been a conductor all your
life?" he asked of the young man.
mot yet came the reply.
A prominent lawyer While examining
a witness in Chancery Court recently
couldn't understand why the Vice
Chancellor told him his question was
ambiguous when he was interrupted
by the court. Here is the conversa-
tion:
Q. Were they talking in English?"
A. NO, sir"
Q. What language were they talk
ing?"
A. 81 don't know what language they
were talking"
@. did you understand what they
were saying?"
Interference of the court precluded
an answer from the witness. and the
lawyer was peeved.

THE SALE OF DEADLY WEAPONS.

Pts HERE is a statute which requires that on the sale of a gun
or pistol the dealer must take the name and address of the
buyer and keep a record for police inspection. The law
should apply to pawnbrokers in the sale of deadly weapons. In
the case of the pawnbroker, also, the sale of a weapon under these
regulations should be reported to the police. 1t is known that
criminals seeking weapons 90 to the pawnbrokers to purchase
Early information of such purchases might prove invalu-
able as an aid to the police, and if a severe penalty in case of
violation by a pawnbroker should be imposed by the law there
would be a general observance of it.

Just By the Way

In the dark Of the moon
Why, a girl may look sweet,
Till q fellow goes daft
AS though touched by the heat;
But ere you give praise
To her glory and grace,
Just wait till you see her
With light on her face.
The candle lights glow,
With its touch of romance,
Adds a mellowing shade
To a girls countenance;
But If you'd be sure
That her beauty will stay,
Just wait till you see
How she looks in the day.
AS you walk down the street
You will meet many men
Who are married, but vow
That they wouldn't again.
They were caught by the thrill
OF a fragrant night-tune.
And grabbed their life mate
In the dark of the moon.

A JUDGE-MADE GRAND JURY.

u NDER the guise of jury reform the Leavitt bill in the Senate,
" which is to come up next week, would destroy the grand
jury system by making the grand jury a mere adjunct of
the court. Whether by direct selection or by selection through a
judicially appointed commission, the court would have the grand
jury under its thumb. AS the grand inquest was instituted as a
shield against unjust prosecution and an arbitrary judge, what
would be left of it if the Leavitt bill should pass? Could a Jury
selected directly or indirectly by the court in passing upon the case
Of an accused man be regarded as a jury of his peers?

SHELVING OF Fl DIR. WILEY MATTER.

IN PPARENTLY, as far as the administration is concerned,
IN the Wiley incident is closed with the report of the Moss
investigating committee that completely vindicated DR..
Wiley. But what then becomes of the declaration by President
Taft in his letter in which he yielded to the universal popular seni-
ment by generating DR.. Wiley? The President said in his letter
that "broader questions raised by the investigation" had a much
weightier relation and may require much more radical action"
Were these words absolutely unmeaning? If not, why does the
President let the whole matter lapse? Why are not the broader
questions brought up for radical action? Why are the men re-
sponsible for the broader questions left undisturbed in the agri
cultural department.?

who have working parents, who are
glad to take them to their homes when
the days work is done. A special meet
ing of the executive committee will be
called to devise the best means for
raising funds for the years work, and
to appoint a committee to carry out
such plans as may be made. The next

THE AERoPLANE IN THE NATIONAL GUARD.

PIT HE aeroplane will have made its first appearance as an arm
of the National Guard when the State Guard of New York
receives as a gift a machine from two New York women.
No doubt the new acquisition will figure in the maneuyers next
when New York and New Jersey regiments, combined with
regulars, will defend New York city from New England troops
and regulars. In these operations probably the entire New Jersey
division will be modified. With the advent of a first aeroplane
i second will soon follow.

Where a lads heart strays
When lips are eager and love is
sweet"
Singer, sing me a song" cries Age.
"Sing me a song Of the shutdown hill,
Sing of a star
That shines afar
When the twilight heart grows
hushed and still"
Sing me a o of the long-lost ways.
Where never my weary feet shall

Sing me to rest
In a dream-bound nest
With all the Yesterdays safe at
