Retrospect.

One of these days when my work is
through
And at last / have nothing at all to do.
am going to travel the road that goes
To the home of my boyish joys and woes
I'll pause and lean on the old front gate
Where loitered until the hour grew late,
And I'll strive to picture the misty past
Where once / dreamed of a future vast.
One of these days I will idly swing
Meath the spreading leaves where the
robins sing,
And I'll watch the grapes, as the hours
go by,
Drinking from earth and air and sky.
Imagination again will change
The place to a region fair and strange;
1 will thrill at the monstrous shapes
which pass
Through the jungle depths OF the weeds
and grass.
I'll see the elves in the leafy hooks.
The friends that I met in the wonder
books,
And then, as I weary. I'll pause to hear
clear
Sounding throughout 1t and above
Is the exultation Of mother love.
And perhaps with her voice 1 will lft
my own
And find L am singing alone-alone.

Suffrage Sacrilege in Scotland.

The British militants could not have
conceived of a more direful threat Of vio-
lence than the destruction of the putting
greens of the st. Andrews golf course In
Scotland. They may strike at st. Paurs

upon a nisconception of our powers ana

tory.
The cable has several times quoted Sir
Valentine Chivol. the director OF the ior-
eign department of the London Times,
who thinks there is much bigger anu
broader question involved than the amen
land law, and sees much dimcuity Ior

the matter he says:

The civil war was waged for no such
purpose and Mr.. Lincoln so declared. It
was waged for the preservation OF the
Union Mr.. Lincoln was opposed to
slavery as an institution. as indeed were
many southern men, but he was not

not necessarily during his occupancy of
the White House. He saw the value Of
time in the equation.
But the champions of slavery would
not accept his views, or wait. Having in

The south was rushed by perfervid
orators. Yancy and Toombs and Wig
fall had more influence than men far
greater. Indeed, the greatest man in the
south was opposed to secession. Robert
f. Lee did not desire an appeal to arms:
but. against his wishes, situation was
created which forced him through state
pride to = -ept the arbitrament Of war.

Neither America nor Japan should yield

that would raise a question for all pow

The High School Cadets.

The High School Cadets have gone
through another campaign triumphantly.
Company X of Tech has won, but in this
competition all the contestants emerge
with laurels. The standard Of proficiency
in this organization is so high that any
one of the eleven companies will COM
pare wen with school soldiers anywhere
in the country. The boys enter into the
spirit of these annual drills admirably,
and devote themselves to the prepara
ton with commendabie spirit of parti-
sanship for their particular institutions
and their own companies. But it has
been found after many years that the
maintenance of these cadet companies
does not detract from scholastic pro-
ficiency. Indeed, these boys are better
students for their membership in the
regiment. The discipline, under which they
drill enters into the school work. and to
wear a high school uniform is to stand
we'll in public. 1t is badge of respon-
sibility and honorable distinction
Washington high schools now grown to
comprise seven institutions, including
several thousand pupils, are noted in
American educational circles, and it is
recognized throughout the country that
one of the principal factors in the sue
cessful development of this system has
been the establishment Of the military
drill for the boys. This drill began with
the first year the o Street High School
building, now called Central, was occu-
pied. A small number Of heavy German
muskets were obtained which the boys
were set to work to clean and scrape.
They were entirely too big and cumber
some fort the youngsters. but they served
well enough as beginning. In some part
the military company that first year
1SS2-3Lwas ununiformed. but the next
year better arms were obtained and a uni
form was adopted. and by the third year,
1sS4-5. the cadet corps was we'll estab-
lished and began to show signs OF the
high proficiency that has marked it ever
since.
Thus yesterdays drill marked the COM
pletion OF thirty years of high school
cadet work. A great change has taken
place during those three decades. and
sons OF the cadets of the first small COM
pany yesterday stood in review while the
championship flag was awarded the win
ner. Can one look forward with any de-
gree Of confidence to the next thirty
years to foretell what will be the con-
ditions when the annual high school drill
OF 1913 takes place?

Judge Parker and the Bench.

Turning the Tables.
From the Philadelphia Inquirer.

e
For a long while Andrew Carnegie, in
the interval between bestowjng public IL
braries on more or less grateful commu-
mites, has been awarding medals to he
roes, doctors, investigators and all sorts
of unusual people. Now along comes a
man from the National Capital and pre-
sents the steel king with beautiful me-
dalton containing his head in low relief.
This is a precedent that is likely to be
followed very generally, and. as few per-
sons can afford medallions, the presenta-
tons to Mr.. Carnegie must take the form
of medals. Suppose the genial Scot were
to be presented with medal by each OF
the cities that he has favored with pub
lie library, and suppose that he were
compelled to wear them as decorations on
state occasions? He would make the
most popular bandmaster look shy and
modest in compassionate he were able to
hold up under the weight of the honors.
Mr.. Carnegie has had it his own way for
many years. but at last the tables are
likely to be turned.

Sanitation Of Labor Camps.

From the New York Herald.
This Is the season of the year when.
owing to railroad development, quarry
ing and other work for building opera
tions. labor CAMPS become numerous
throughout the country. In a number
of cases in recent years epidemics OF
disease. particularly typhoid fever. in
neighboring towns have been traced
to the lack Of proper sanitary precau-
tions and arrangements in these labor
camps. The severe lesson learned
from negligence of camp sanitation
during the Spanish American war
should not be lost. Corporations owe
1T to the neighborhoods in which such
camps are located to make proper pro-
vision for the disposal Of waste mate
rial of all kinds, so that 1t may not
become source of disease for the
countryside.

Commissioner Slower does not want
Central Park visitors to feed the SPUR
rels, because they grow so indolent
they haven't the stamina to get their

the taxpayers are raised for the higher

the squirrels are raised for the harm

ton, we believe that the good done to
