In the debate last night, both Senators
Borah and Root suggested that better
legislation for the protection OF human
rights might grow out OF the inquiry.
Senator Bacon strongly opposed the
resolution as an invasion OF State
rights. Senator's Borah, Root. Snther-
land. and Reed upheld 1t. Senator
Feed severely criticised the decision of
the supreme court OF appeals OF West
Virginia and the governor. He said :

Calls Doctrine Destructive.
Il say. there never fell from George
III or any of his ministers: there never
was written in the infamous reign of
Charles IL, doctrine more destructive
of human liberty and Of all law and
order than the doctrine We are now
confronted with. 1t ts a doctrine 80
monstrous that II shocks the conscience
and appalls the Judgment Of every man
who loves his country"
But one record vote was taken. on an
amendment offered by Senator Bacon
to strike out that part OF the resolution
authorizing an inquiry into whether
the Constitution and laws of the Unit
ed States had been violated. 1t was
beaten 10 to So.
This would have emasculated the
resolution had 1t been adopted. The
Senators voting for It were Bacon.

PICKETTs CHARGE.

The hgh,ing was long and hard for
the last two days:
Dead and wounded lie everywhere
along the battle ways.
But still the cannons roar and flash.
Mingled with the battles crash.
The minnie balls and shells whistle
through the air:
Bursting and killing men everywhere.
Lees hopes were growing low;
For. so far he had not the advantage
OF the foe
lie had failed to take Cemetery Hill.
But was planning to take 1t still
So to-day his plans were to be carried
through,
And his last hope was at stake, he
knew.
The Confederate cannon swept the
ground;
Knocking many OF the enemies men
down,
But still they roared and shot red
flame;
For the men behind them were making
good their aim.
Cannonading the field from end to end,
Then moved back for Picketts men,
Back in line stood the nower of the
South,
Waiting for the order OF Lee to come
out.
How nice they stood, watching the
battle afar,
While over them proudly waved the
Stars and Bars
That was soon TO be riddied with bull
lets through and through
And mass TO and from MANY ho tho
Forward" came the order, and on
they ran;
Breast to breast was every man
Through the smoke and shot and shell
They charged. while around them many
fell
The earth trembled beneath the shock
of battlel.
And many brave soldier was shot
from his saddle.
The cannons Numbered, and shells
bursted into flame;
But onward they went with tho charge
that brought fame.
Balls and shells tore the ranks of the
Gray,
But they closed up and went on till
they
Reached the breastworks and planted
the flag
Proudly; above ell did 1t wave only
rag.
And slowly the handful of men fell
bacle
To their lines after so great an at
tack.
And so ended Pickett's charge:
That was the wonder OF this world sc
large;
For such fight and charge OF these
bravo men

THREE PONY RIDER BOYS.

Out on the desert hot and dry,
Where there were many dangers to
fear,
Two boys on ponies sped by:
While nearby was Bud. OF the Pony

Hunting wild horses OF the plain.
Soon Dan and Ned spied Angel and
Devil,
Two horses who were wild and
The former was white. the latter
black:
Two finer horses there never were
Then Dan rounded up Devil,
And Ned gave chase to Angel.
While Buds rope came whiazing
Right around his great black head:
And away he did travel
Soon Bud had Devil.

THE LAST DAY
OF SUMMER
Dear Girls and Boys:

Dear Girls and Boys:
Can YOU realize that to-day is the
very last day of summer All winter
long and through all the rain and slect
and bad weather, we think that the
blue Of June is coming and the bright
ness OF July will soon be here. and the
month of August always seems too
good to end, and now here 1t is ending
right before our faces. Before we can
turn around somebody, who looks sus-
piciously like n teacher. will come out
on a porch. that looks a great deal like
school. and she will ring q bell, right
long and loudly. and the term will be-
sin. It's fine to get educated: we all
want 1t, don't we? But the SUNNI er
/ days. the long. dear days. that slip by
ono by one, like sheep going over a
hill, we hate to give them up Just
ono more play. just little longer ride
on the hay wagon or the see saw
that is what the summertime means to
most children.
l want all of your stories and poems
this new month TO be about the kind
of summer days that drifted past the
| little door of your life. Don't tell me
that you can't draw any of it, because
you were there. l saw you. and SO
did all the world. looking, looking
down from the little door of your life
! into the summer days that ran waving
by your little house or your big house
