Pork Barrel on Its Last Legs.

~ Whatever the immediate outcome, the great
fight put up against the pork barrel rivers and
harbors appropriation bill in the senate under
the lead of Senator Kenyon and Senator Bur-
ton, deserves vigorous approval and the ammu-
milton they have used Is certain not to be wasted
The gigantic rivers and harbors grab has
come to be the perfection of so-called omnibus
bills, the omnibus being made to take on enough
passengers in the form of local appropriations
to insure the support of the necessary majority
TO put 1t across. The vciousness of this method
OF legislation has been exposed time and again.
and at last the load has about reached the break

competent observers at the capital that the
whole present system would by this time have
been abandoned and the work of river improve

cept for the fact that the chief recipients OF the
pork are scattered through the south. and the
dominating element Of the controlling democ-

wars Irreparable Destruction.

What war means is being gradually brought
home by the destruction Of historic buildings,
priceless works OF art and Libraries Of books
that never can be replaced. This irreparable
havoc has we all know, accompanied other wars
whose devastations do not discriminate between
what is worth while and what is of compar-
atively little moment War has from time to
time destroyed the richest legacies Of past ages
to present and future generations. The wreck
ing Of public buildings, cathedrals and other
historic structures in the present war evokes
more general outcry only because we have come
to appreciate and value them more highly. ana
to realize more thoroughly that there can be no
replacement.
Far sadder to contemplate, however is
wars irreparable destruction of human life
Every man moved down by the enemy's bullets
is sent to an untimely grave, and the years
which he should have lived absolutely
blotted out. 1t is inevitable that the death roll

or execute immortal works of art or, by new in

Enclosed BY a picket fence.

Riot OF color is there;
Ffom morn tiil night, in dark or light
Sweet perfume fills the air.
Outside the fence, TIL winters chill,
Rot the children there.
RAGGED and happy. All day long
Their voices fin the air.
Above the fence the sunflowers stretch
And nod TO passersbv:
Vines Irvine about the posts and reach
Their slender tendrils high
While clematis and hollyhocks
AGAINST the brown walls press,
To hide its bare worn sides from view,
And laugh at their success.
Petnias peep between the rails.
In cheerful joyous bonds,
And find their way int the world,
Ciasped in warm, chubby hands.
The aliens who these wonders wrought.
Speak not this tongue Of ours,
But understand the universal
Language of the flowers.
Theirs the sun that knows no country;
Theirs, moon and stars that roam
Ger all the earth; theirs this new land
Where they have made A HOME.
