A Return to Conservatism.

tue eieetiohs on TUESDAY IS Conservatism. Inc
majorites everywhere were against radical changes
in our form of government In New York the

three great states OF MASSACHUSETTS, New YORK
and Pennsylvania, just as il was defeated in New
Jersey two weeks ago, and without any COM
plant that these, defeats were due to political
machines. 1t cannot even be said that any par
ticular class of voters turned down the work of
the New York constitutional convention, or the
proposed suffrage amendments. The voters in
the rural districts and those in the large cities
appear to have agreed that the proposed changes
in State constitutions unnecessary If not
inadvisable.
There was the same manifest opposition to
constitutional changes in Ohio. The voters there
again rejected the prohibition amendment by a
substantial majority though somewhat below that
recorded against it last year. At the same
time the Ohio voters rejected other proposed
amendments to engraft other proposed reforms on
the State government. They were satisfied to
let we'll enough alone, notwithstanding the con-
slant and energetic agitatons of those who are
ever ready to tinker the constitutions of the
States and that of the Federal government
The majority of the people may be old fogy-
ish and too conservative to know what is good
for them, but it is more probable that they have
had surfeit of reform agitation and are willing
to wait and how these reforms adopted by
some of the newer States develop in practice. We
have had a riot of reform agitation for some
years, much of it by mere sensation mougers who
gladly accepted the title of muckrsker dis
tinction which brought them gate receipts if not
honor. The reign of the muckraker. appears to
have ended, and its end came about the time
when the people discovered that business not
as good as it had been. and that government
costs increasing as the ability of the people
to carry the burden of taxation decreased. The
association of undertaking, reform, increased tax

Break Up the Conspiracy.

There is urgent need that this conspiracy be
broken up and that the criminals engaged in it
be brought to book. They are making territory
of the United States the base of hostile operations
against Germany's enemies in way that ser-
ously compromises our neutrality If we fail to
use due diligence to put stop to the operations
of these persons, it is conceivable that may
have damage bills to pay. Apart from that, the
affront to the nation and to its people is one not
to be overlooked.-New York Times

May be crisp as the autumnal air,
But when the call is for my sympathies
May the mien of silken summer wearf
With vigor of the autumn l would WOO

Yet be it mine when sorrow calls to bring
To them in need the loving touch of Spring.

SCHOOL BOYS 0F AUSTRIA FOLLOW
 TROOPS TO WAR
Undaunted by Screaming Shells, Youngsters Work
 ill Trenches.

Berlin, Nov. 27.-"When the Aus trin war service law was passed nobody thought that school boya would take active part in tne war; Julius Weber, a correspondent of the "Berlinsr Tageblatt," writes iron, Czernowitz. But it is fact that hundreds of youngsters who should be in school are at the front with the Austro-Hungarian troops. Every one Of these boys is hero.
 "The war boys first appeared when the Russians wsre driven from the Bukowina. During the long bat tie around Czarnowitz many kids some of whom were cnly ten or twelve years old, daily watched ths artillery fire across the Itoruth, from ths rf2ighboring h:ights.
 After while the bays became bcMer. The cants into the trenches ard brought tobacco, cigarettes, anu other little gifts to the soldiers. The money for their present they obtained by picking up shells on the battre- field and selling the precious meta,. Several Of the youngsters were killed Or wounded by the Russian fire but that did not keep the other young war enthusiasts from the front.
 when the Russians retreated to the north the boys joined in the pur- suit Of the enemy. Mere than a hun dred of them followed the Austrian regiments. They carried ammunition and water. acted as servants to the ,1 x,01 vice as spies. When they were not 'on duty they slept in tho. trenches and their food they received from the fKoulash cannon as the Austrian field kitchens are called.
 About thirty-five ol -fne young en- thusiasts had to be sent nome alter a few weeks because they were elaime1 by anxious parents. All of them refused tc lssye the front anl they had to be transported to Czerno- W.'.z like prisoners of war. Tn every village that was taken from! the Rus sians more war boys attached them selves to several hindred. Most of them are still a.s the front ard sew eral of them have been decoratei for bravery. A5ysg.,
 Hundreds of other small boys arc with the Austro- Hungarian and Ger man armies in Eastern Galicia, VOL hynia. and Lithuania. All efforts Of the conlmande to prevent the boys from following the troops were in vain. If they were chased out of a camp in the daytime they would surely rsturnS at night. A high officer Nsy | f3.rent army, corps number several thousand. They nave proven them selves 9. .grea; hslp to the officers and soldiers.

Paris, Nov< T 27.-Parisians are greatly impressed with the splendor of the American hospitals here, at Neuilly, and near Compeigne. Noth- Ing like them has ever been seen here for luXuriousness and up-to- dateness in every way.
 But if the Parisians are impressed you may imagine the feelings of the wounded soldiers entering them. I have talked With several of these brave po'lus and all agreed that these wonderful institutions for com fort and good cheer.
 "I have not once thought of my wound since I woke up here," said a boyish looking soldier from a Nor 1 mandy village to lmc a few, days ago at the hospital at Neuil1y "J ust imagine, they change our sheets, pill low eases, napkins and even our shirts every blessed morning, though 1 they gro as spotloss as when we got them.

 five hundred francs a month. I hope l it is true. It is pile of money, but 1 they are worth every sou of it!" l Another soldier who arrived at the
 same hospital from trench in 1 Champagne declared he had never l imagined that anything in the world 1 could be as imposing as these mag
 nificent halls with their parGuet
 floors and profusion of glittering kygienic utensils.
 l The only thing that troubled him was how to express the gratitude o! his childish heart towards the wo' men who surrounded him with every care.
