THE BOY LEAVES HOME.
Wherever He Goes, the State Y. NJ.
C. A. Has a System That Can
Follow Him Up and Help Him.

C. A. Has System That Can
Follow Him Up and Help Him.
Goodbye, Johnny; please don't
forget to write to mother-at least
once weel,, johnny"
"Well, John, good-bye-you know
I'll expect to hear from you every
little while, and take good care of
yourself" adds father.
Goodbye, Jack-say, wish't
wuz goin' too" puts in little Bobby.
as he watches the farewell scene.
For John, "our boy" is leaving the
old home and going out into the big
world to make his way. Mothers
heart is almost breaking as she
watches him out of sight, and pic
lures to herself the fight he must
make in the lonely hours. Father is
just-as anxious, but is more accus-
toned to conceal his feelings. Lit
tie Bobby is openly envious.
Hundreds of times this scene, in
essence, is repeated every year i'm
Virginia, for there is constant
stream of bright, manly young fell
lows who feel that they must ego
away" to begin life for themselves.
How much. better it would be for
them if they could only be made to
understand that in most cases it
would Def ar better to stay in the old
home.
Time was when John, or Tom, or
Will, or Sam, must fight his first
battles all alone after leaving father
and mother.
But there has been change.
L..
wide and eager in its desire to get in
touch with John and stand by his
side and be friend to him in his
first days away from home.
This bic system is the Correspond
ing Member Department of the State
Young Mems Christian Association.
In each of over two hundred COM
munities in Virginia, where there is
no Association, we have fine Christ
ian man who has signed a written
| agreement to keep strict watch for
the boy who goes away, and to send
word quickly to our office where, on
the same day the information is re-
ceived, it is forwarded to another
Christian man in the boys new home,
asking that he find this boy without
] delay and do for him as he would for
| his own son or brother under like
| circumstances.
This, in nutshell, is the work this
department is doing every day. The
system is well organized, is growing
steadily larger, and splendid serv-
ice is being rendered to the boy who
leaves home, whether to take up bust
ness or secure an education.
However, the Committee is not sat
isfied. Its ambition is to get in touch
with practically all the boys who
leave their homes, and to this end will
extend the organization as rapidly as
possible. 1t needs at least five hun
dred men to help with this work. Yet
even this number will not sufficiently
cover the broad territory of our good
old State. However, the develop
ment to this extent, with each one
keenly on the alert to report remov-
ais, would increase very greatly in
deed this line of service, so that the
cold folks at home," in almost every
case, would feel that the home-sick
boy has the close friendship of one, at
least, who will see him safely estab-
lished in his new home with the right
Kind of new friendships formed.

Progressive.
Apropos of this l know a distin-
guished lawyer who was n soldier
four years and an aimable gentleman
all his life, who said: 81 don't know
about hell, when l consider my own
case | hope there is none beyond this
life, but when | think of the seas
strewn with mines, and Zeppelins
dropping bumbs on women and chill
dren, it seems to me that there must
be physical, burning hell whose ray
less victims yearn without hope for
humiliation at the mouth of Krupp
gun, and sigh for the exquisite de
light of slow death i'm frozen

The most ingenious plea yet made
for Germany-that of Herr Nurn-
burg in Saturday Evening Post.-Ex.
Rather unusual though. While
denying every allegation" he p,caGs

Penrose and Cannon still for High
Tariff.-American
What with all the "pauper labor
of Europe" being shot in the trenches,
and nothing coming in but what we
want? AS Dickens says: Blind,
blind, blind, they cling to the High
Tariff idea as the Mahometians to
their Muezin call "allah lila allah.--
Record.
And yet there's more argument in
big field of wheat exported in
American bottoms" than in any fool
shibboleth, or pretty polly allitera-
ton.
We have taken it for granted that
war can't produce certain things and
have been importing them for forty
years.-American.
And | find from the same source
that we import both soap and pickles,
beans too and even peanuts. What are
we here for? Soap mines on every
farm, and the best peanut climate in
the world.

Ter.
If altogether in order we beg to
suggest as a logical running-mate for
Mr.. Penrose-the Hon. c.. Bascom
Slemp.
The Foreign Policy of the present
administration has brought the coun-
try into e.-Congressman
Slemp.

Shellstrewn Brussels, tower of
strength for millions Of Belgians, Cir
ard representing more than half the

Herrick and Sharpe in Paris, looking
after the interest of the warning ma
tons; Morganthau with even n more
difficult post at Constantinople, with
Page measuring up to his place at the

ideals and traditions upheld the wide
world over, it looks to an unprecedented
eye like our foreign policy is some
thing to be proud of
Peoplel ook on the reelection of
Cannon with amused tolerance.-Col-
lierS.
Just how Uncle Joe will look on it
is another matter. When he sees
