MY CIIILpH0OD'S PRAYER
By E. Nelson.
Ny childhood's prayer my childhood's
prayer
It's ringing ever in my ear,
With memories of sweet days that were
When earth was new and hope was
dear;
When not cloud of sigh or tear,
Seemed traced within my horoscope;
Nor bitter pang. nor burning fear
But all things whispered hope, sweet
hope
Alas there hath, been sin and care
Between me and my childhood's
prayer.
My childhood's prayer oh. not one
flower,
But minds me of its purity;
The loWliest daisy in the bower
Brings back that gentle prayer to me.
With all the joysof infancy:
Inever look upon star.
But that its radience seems to be
A beacon from the days affair
A memory of joys that were
ALI fleeing but my childhood prayer,
My Childhood payer-each infant tone
Was lisped beside my mothers knee;
Alas my heart hath harder grown
Beneath chilling destiny;
Yet never from my memory
Shall fade the beautiful the true
Sweet gurdian of mine infancy.
This heart still fondly clings to you;
Each snowy thread. mid dark hair
Reminds me of my childhood g prayer
There have been hours of deep distress,
There have been years of grief and
care,
There hath been utter wretchedness
A darkness that could think no prayer
Yet, in the darkest days that were,
A gentle voice from bygone years
Thrilled to the brink of black despair,
And gave the sinner words and tears;
Yes, have wept, and pleaded there,
My childhood's prayer! My childhood's
prayer

Washington's Streets.

Last night Southeast Washington
celebrated the new lighting of Penn
svlvania avenue in that section with
a rousing meeting OF citizens. which
was addressed by the Commissioners
and other officials, with music, feast
ing and dancing This occasion was
significant OF the eagerness OF the
people for better illumination and
compares with the recent rejoicing
OF the merchants OF upper 9TH street
when the first stone was turned in
the ancient pavement for replace
ment with asphalt.
Washington is proud of its broad
streets and should have them we'll
paved and well lighted in all parts.
Much has been done in recent years
toward better lighting. If the pres
cnt plans are continued the capital
will be the best illuminated city in
the world, as it was once the best
paved. That it is not now the best
paved is due to congressional econ
omies that have cut off the appropri-
atoms for street Improvements, leav-
ing many of the thoroughfares in a
sad condition of disrepair. while the

Germany Accepts.

Through the ambassador at this
capital Germany now declares to the
United States. in answer to this gov
ernment's contentious regarding sub
marine warfare:
Liners will not be sunk by our
submarines without warning and
without safety of the lives OF non
combatants. provided that the liners
do not try to escape or offer resis-
lance.
This is apparently a full compli-
ance with the principle so clearly
and empf,atical1y stated III President
Wilson's three notes to Germany on
the subject OF the Lusitania sinking,
if by liners" is meant all merchant
men, whether or not they are reg
ularly routed and whether they are
cargo carriers with incidental pas
scngers. What this country is con-
tending for is that non-resisting,
military ships. OF whatever class
or use or destination. if not seeking
to escape. must be treated in accord
ance with the law OF humanity and
that they must be warned before de-
struction and with ample time for
the escape OF their company.
If this German assurance is a
formal pledge to observe the princi-
pies laid down in the Presidents
notes on submarine sinking, the
United States has won a very great
victory in diplomacy. for the sake
OF humankind. President Wilson
has achieved a success which en-
titles him to the highest credit as
a statesman. He has brought about
a limitation of submarine warfare
without making war. He has kept
the peace and with honor and glory
for the American people. His is in
deed a triumph OF which he may be
proud and for which the country
gives him its heartfelt thanks.

Liquor License Applications.

With one less applicant than the
maximum number of retail liquor
licenses allowed by the law. the ex-
else board has no such problem be-
fore it as it had year ago, when
there were go more applicants than
places Some Of these 200 were re-
jected' last year. 1t may be, there
fore, that the board will license less
than the maximum number 1t does
not follow because the law permits
a certain maximum that the excise
board must grant that many licenses.
One OF the gravest evils OF the liquor
business is that there are too many
saloons, too many places of tempta-
ton. The smaller the number the
more easily the licensed establish
ments are kept under regulation. 1t
may be regarded by the excise board
rs in the public interest to lessen the
number even below that allowed by
the statute.

been an industrious and entertaining
critic of others, and now he became
an object OF criticism, and that OF
the sharpest character. And, what
is more, he failed with the effort OF
finding places for all his friends.
when his friends, anxious for recog-
milton, outnumbercd the places a
thousand to one.
1t is easier, however, to count MIR.
Bryan out of the equation as can
didate than include him in it as
helper. Mr.. Wilson is against pro-
hibition. Mr.. Bryan for it. Mr.. Will
son is expected to so on record IN
New Jersey next month against votes
for women, while Mr.. Bryan is al
ready outspokenly in favor OF that
issue. Mr.. Wilson is preparing to
recommend to Congress a policy OF
preparedness against war. Mr.. Bryan
to oppose any material increases for
either the army or the navy.
On these big issues the two men
are pointing i'll opposite directions

ments to introduce Mr.. Bryan into

Figuring on the National Defense.

How vague as vet is the program
for an adequate national defense Is
shown by the figures presented on
the subject
Mr.. Kitchin. who will lead the ma
jority in the House. thinks that less
than ten million dollars will cover
the bill. He makes no suggestions as
to how so small an amount should
be laid out. 1t would not pay for
one tirSt-class batticship, when we
need number. and some fast cruls-
ers besides. Then more submarines
are regarded as absolutely necessary.
As for the army. a million dollar
increase in allowance would accom-
plish little ii anything Mr.. kitchin
describes himself as "a little navy
man: and his figures bear out the
description. The European war has
given him no concern for the safety
OF this country. On the other hand,
some OF the advocates OF prepared
ness believe that half a billion dol
lars is necessary to put the country
in the proper shape for defense.
They offer no particulars, but assert
that neither the army nor the navy is
at present large enough to meet the
countrys obligations TO Itself They
would increase the size of both ma

that their authors had in mind the

But, while vague now. the pro-
gram must take definite shape under
discussion; and as good deal OF
discussion will be necessary, the
sooner it begins the better. Calling

before the regular meeting time
would serve a good general purpose,
