In MEMORY OF JAMES M. ELDER.

In MEMORY OF JAMES M. ELDER
Our hearts are crushed. our life was blighted,
The day our father died;
How sad our home is without him,
Words can never describe.
1t bears the name but not the place,
Never the same home without his face
In winter, in summer, in sunshine or rain,
Our fathers love was always the same.
He was tender, loving father.
A father kind and true.
That we were always proud of.
Because his kind are few.
Though this world is full of trouble,
Full of sorrow and of pain,
Yet to us it would be Heaven
If father was only back again.
Now. father. because we do not see you
We love you just as dear,
And in our hearts we will always feel lonely
Because you are not here.
God called me, could not stay forever,
Softer lips than mine will kiss you,
But. my darlings, you will never
Find the love that leaves you as true.
But in many a sad and lonely hour
We will sit thinking of the past,
Thinking of the true happiness
We thought would always last.
paid the debt that all have to pay.
So prepare each one to meet me some
day,
That we all can be united in Heaven above,
Where there is no.sorrow, but happiness
and love.
BY HIS CHILDREN.
In sad but loving remembrance of my
dear daughter, Minnie Darby Adamson,
who died four years ago, May LIST, 1909.
My dear Minnie is sleeping so free from all
pain,
Oh. wake her not, sweet spirit, to suffer
again,
She slumbers so peacefully, oh, let her
sleep on,
Her sickness all ended, her troubles all done
Oh. think what she suffered, so racked with
pain,
In the long weary night | soothed her in
vain,
Till God in His mercy sent a message Of
love
And took her from all pain to heaven above
To part with my daughter was trial severe
Yet, it's better that she should be yonder
than here,
Oh. may my daughter be link in the chair
Which shall bind me to heaven till mee
her again.
Her loving mother,
| MRS. A. C. DARBY.

Mr.. Walker was born near Brownines-

in this direction were crowned with great
success, which enabled him to retire in
his old age. Early in life he married Miss

Boys OF Agricultural High School
Take A Trip.
Recently the boys of the Agricultural
Department of the High School at Sandy
Spring were given a mighty interesting
trip to the State Experiment Station. to the
Government dairy at Soldiers Home. and
to the Department of Agriculture. The
trip was planned by the principal. Prof. S.
d. Gray, several weeks before the day of
excursion, and at each place visited the
boys were entertained in the very best
possible manner by the experts in charge
The work being done at the Experiment
Station was extremely interesting indeed,
and think every boy thoroughly enjoyed
his opportunity to see what was being
done at that place.
A very pleasant feature of the trip was
the ride on the large passenger truck Of
X. r. Moore & Son. of Sandy Spring, leav-
ing here at 7 O'Clock in the morning and
spending all day taking in some of natures
problems along the roadside and on we'll
managed experimental plats at the station.
The chaperons as well as the principal
were very much pleased with the trip as
whole, and, il possible, will make the trip
to these places an annual affair. Too much
cannot be done to interest the boys in farm
life, and il is the purpose Of the school to
instruct and instil into the boys of this
community love for nature and her many
interesting problems.

The District Debt Question.

Rv its action Yesterday the House OF
Representatives before finally disposing
of the District appropriation bill. avoided
the commission of an act of the gravest
injustice to the District by i'll effect
resembling its recent action on the qNes-
ton of the governments participation III
the payment of interest and principal on
the Districts funded debt. Previously the
House had sustained the ruling of the
chairman of the committee of the whole
on a point of order raised against the
half half payment on this account
Had this decision stood the House would
have framed the bill i'll a manner to
throw the entire burden of the sinking
fund upon the District, Notwithstanding
the fact that for more than thirty years
it has been carried on the equal
payment basis. according to the suaran-
tee of 1878. But at the last moment
through the good offices of Representa-
tive Burleson, the House adopted a para
graph which leaves the matter in a most
satisfactory state. That paragraph reads
as follows:
For interest and sinking fund on the
bonded debt, S915.46S. which sum shalFbe
paid out of the funds and accounted for
in accordance with the acts of Congress
This means that the whole question
with reference to the governments par
ticipation will be referred 10 the con-
troller of the Treasury. who is by prior
statute directed to settle such matters
which are specifically sent to him in this
manner He can take the advice of the
Attorney General of the United States
and any interested person may later test
his ruling i'm the courts.
1t was uncomfortable that the House
should undertake to settle this important
question in the manner of the first at
tempt to repudiate the equal obligation or
the United States in the premises. AS
the case now stands, should the language
adopted by the House be finally incorpO-
rated in the act, the result will be
wholly satisfactory to the citizens OF
| the District, who do not fear to have the
| matter decided on the basis of legal
| Interpretation. They are confident that
| under the law the United States is bound
| to pay half of the sinking fund expenses
of the District and that the law-inter-
so declare. For the present it is unnec-
sary to worry over threats that We're ut
| tered in the House yesterday before the
! adoption of this paragraph to the effect
| that if the law is read by the controller
| of the Treasury to command d half-and-
| half payment steps will be taken to
change the law. Sufficient unto the day
| is the fact that for the present the in
| Justice of a direct Reputation has been
ayerted.

down the steps to the seats reserved on
the stand, the eyes of the multitude
standing in front are well rewarded.
What is said by the man ready to take
the oath of office is gathered later from
the newspapers. Nobody is curious upon
the instant Everybody is willing to
wait. For the time. the picture. the pro-
cession, is the thing. With a great host
marshaled in order and awaiting the
word to move, attention is fixed upon
that.
1t is true, too. that the risk to health
on an unlikely day comes from this long
wait while the inaugural address is being
read Those on the stand are particu-
larry exposed. \ cold wind searches
every part of the plaza, and especially
that part raised temporarily above the
rest The men of prominence taken off
in the past twenty years as the result OF
exposure on inauguration day had occu-
pied seats on the grandstand and watched
the long proceedings through.
If Congress continues to refuse relief
nv holding US to the perilS of early
March weather. a shortening of the cere-
monies at the Capitol might well be con-
sidered Not this time, of course, but
later. The picture proper Shouiu pe pre-
served. All that goes with the pro-
cession to the Capitol and back, and
with the arrival at and the departure
from the Capitol, is inspiring. But no.
body-neithcr the speaker nor any one
of the multitude assembled-is benefited
Ivy the oral delivery OF an address which
is never considered at the moment even
by the very few who have been able to
hear.
Mr.. Wilson promises 10 he brief, which
is something gained. y long address,
although unhcard. has more than once
sent good men To their graves; and all

Dental way about the public business?
The posts are important. and have been
held by men Of great weight in political
affairs In more than one administra-
ton the premier of the kitchen cabinet
has been bigger man than the premier
of the cabinet proper.
And, in passing, let it be said that the
title of cabinet number two is not only
irreverent but misleading. There is moth
ing of a below-stairs nature about the
body. 1t meets upstairs. and enjoys all
the comforts and dignity of that part OF
the White House. 1t receives the coun-
tenance to which it is entitled.
For. of course, it is body composed OF
men to whom the President is attached
by bonds closer than those of everyday
politics. They are his personal wen
wishers. seeking nothing for themselves
and interested only in his success. Ihey

unselfshly appraise and submit it with
comment for his information and Suld-

Now let us all speculate about these
posts Nominations are in order. who
will be the Bryan of the kitchen cabinet.
and who will sit with him and help along
the personal as well as the political Tor
tunes of Woodrow Wilson? There Is a
sort of unofficial assurance that there
will be no college presidents or profess
sors in the cabinet proper. That is TO be
