What will you lack, sonny what will you
lack
When the girls line up the street,
Shouting their love to the lads come back
From the foe they rushed to beat?
viii you send q strangled cheer TO the
sky
But what will you lack when your mate
goes by
With a girl who cuts you dead?
Where will you look. sonny. where will
you look
Clamor to learn Of the part you took
In the war that kept men free?
Will you say. II was naught to you II
France
Stood up to her foe or bunked?
That tells you they know you funked?
How will you fare. sonny, how will you
In the far-off winter night.
When you sit by the fire in an old mans
chair
And your neighbors talk Of the fight?
Will you stink away, as it were from
Your old head shamed and bent?
Or say was not with the first to go,
But l went. thank God. went?
Why do they call. sonny. why do they
For men who are brave and strong?

And right is smashed by wrong
Is il football still and the picture show.

And England's call is Gods

The Deficit.

!. If Congress was wise and patriotic body and
individual congressman were not more concerned TO
save their skins in the coming election than to act
for the best interests of the nation in great
gency, they would let their rivers and harbors bill
go over to more convenient season and thereby
save 100000 of the SIoooooooo which must now
be raised by special tax.
This is no time to waste money on creeks which
never heard of outside the Congressional dis
tricts where they play hide and seek showing them
selves in the rainy season and hiding during the
summer drought. If the huge sum the bill appro-
PIRATES saved to the Treasury an additional tax
on liquors and beer would make up the deficit, and

"Mad Dog War

Under what will the present war 60 down
in history? Most OF the great struggles of modern
times have been between single opponents-the re-
cent Balkan campaigns the first since the Crimea
in which the issue has been complicated by the pres
ence of more than two combatahts in the field The
war which approaching its end hundred years
ago offered no difficulty; it too intimately
clated with the name Of one man to be described
anything else than Napoleonic But there is no such
easy solution in the present case. To our own gen.
Grafton in Britain it will possibly be known as the
mad-dog war, and must leave to our descendants
the task of giving it fitting historic title-London

The Illinois Methodist Conference, in session at
Shelbyvile, has called upon John A. Patten, of
Chattanooga, Tenn refute charges that he is the
principal of the corporation which
factures and sells certain wine of cordu as
medical preparation, which the American Medical
Journal alleges is a snare. Mr. Patten is member
of the Methodist church in Chattanooga and chair
man of the Methodist book committee, and the Hi
nois conference demands that he explain away the
allegations Of the Medical Journal retire from his
position in the church Judging from the reports of
the Illinois conference the point of the charge not
that the product OF Mr.. Patten is what it pur-
ports to be- but that it contains alcohol and that each
dose is equivalent to drink of whisky Tennessee
IS a prohibition State, but they make all sorts of
moonshine in Tennessee, and why should they draw
the line on wine of cordui? And why should not
the old Methodist home rule apply and leave Mr.
Patten to be dealt with by the church in Tennessee?
One is that Illinois has prohibition campaign

The Congressional Career Of Amos
Cummings.
written Expressly Tor The Hsrah)
nN DIR. Z. j. WARDS.

| By DIR. Z. J. EDWARDS.
The late Amos J. Cummings. who died
in 1902 while serving as a member Of Con-
gress, representing one OF the New York
city districts. was probably in as init
mate editorial and personal relations with
Charles A. Dana, OF the New York Sun,
as was any other member Of the famous
editors stan.
] Mr.. Dana selected Mr.. Cummings as the
editor of the Evening Sun. which was
first issued on March II, 1851. Cummings.
however, was then elected a member Of
Congress, and II was the understanding
that he was to do no more than to or
ganize the stan and to set the evening
edition OF the paper running for about
nine months.
I was closely associated with Mr.. Cum
mings, having, in fact succeeded him as
editor Of the Evening Sun. although our
relations had been closely established
some years earlier.
On the eve OF his retirement from the
editorship OF the Evening Sun / had
long conversation with him, in which he
told me some highly interesting and even
exciting incidents Of his career. He said:
II don't know whether l am making
mistake in giving up editorial work to go
to Congress or not Sometimes l think !
boy II was thought a wonderful thing for
man to go to Congress- and ! often
said to myself that l should like to go to
Congress some day. But ! was only a
printer and could not see the slightest
possibility OF my election as a member
OF Congress. Now. tomorrow I am to go
to Washington TO be sworn in as a repre-
sentative.
Il am thinking Of following the exam
pie of Horace Greeley and of Henry J.
Raymond. who while serving In Congress
wrote letters for their newspapers. II II
can find any newspapers which will be
willing to take letters from me l am go
ing to write some. and II anybody finds
fault with me I will say that II Horace
Greeley and Henry J. Raymond did not
think II beneath the dignity OF a Con-
gressman TO become a newspaper corre-
spondent 1t certainly isn't beneath me.
I am going to represent the Wall street
district in Congress- But ! think that is
something Of a misfit. ! shOuld have
been elected from one Of the East Side or
uptown districts, for I know the people
in those districts and am in thorough
sympathy with them.
Il don't know how long my party will
let me represent the Wall street district
in Congress. but sometimes think i'll
won't be very long
Some years later. owing TO certain party |
eXigencies. Mr.. Cummings lost the nomi- |
nation for representative OF the Wall
street district in Congress. He was con-
siderably depressed by the feeling that |
there was no opening for him in the |

The Crippled Railroads.

Last spring the Pennsylvania Railroad dropped
IA trains, and the resulting economy and the re-
fusa of the Interstate Commerce Commission to al
low increase OF freight charges have led the COM
pany to off sxty-eight more trains by which it
is to be hoped to another million dollars If the
commission is waiting for the railroads to go into
receiverships before it allows any increase OF
it will have to wait a good while; they will cut ex-

Fifty years sEo today. Gen. p. H. Shor-
idan placed his army in position near
StTasburg, Va. for an attack on the
Confederates under Gen. Jubal a. Early.
who, on retreating from Winchester, had
o. cupied the heights Of Fishers Hin.
Only the strength OF ground he now
held enabled Gen. Early to make a stand
in his retreat His army had been badly
shattered in the battle OF September -
at Winchester. where it had fought at
odds OF one against three.
The retreat up the valley turnpike,
through Strasburg, though at first dis
ordered. had been conducted with better
results than could have been hoped for
by reason Of a cessation OF the Federal
pursuit at dark.
1t was a sad retreat for Early and his
fellow officers, who numbered such stall
wart fighters as Gen. John c. BreCkin-
ridge. OF Kentucky. and Gen. John r.
Gordon. of Georgia. They saw in the
defeat at Winchester the shadow Of
dark event cast before-that OF the loss
Of their cause.
Gen. Gordon. in his memoirs. makes
this clear. Gen. Early. whose hUmor at
times was saturnine, even in the retreat
could not resist A grim joke at the rN-
pense OF Gen. Breckenridge. Until Vir-
ginia seeded Gen. Early had been a
stanCh unionist. while Gen. Breckenridge
had always been a fiery advocate OF
the rights OF the South in the terri
tories"
In halt in the night march. when
only the steady tramp Of soldiers feet
on the hard road broke the stiffness,
Gen. Early said to Gen. BreCkinridGe:
Gen. Breckenridge, what do you think
of the rights Of the South in the Ter
ritories. now
Gen. Breckenridge made no reply He
was in no mood for joking. Toward the
end OF the battle, when after fighting
like lion at bay TO beat on complete
disaster. Breckenridge was demonstrated
with by Gordon for unnecessarily eX-
posing himself TO danger. he replied
