BUT YESTERDAY.

It seems to me but yesterday
He whistled with me up the way
And joined his laughter loud and
long
With every cadence of my song;
But now-his laughter in the mighty
silence sleeps
Where Mystery unwhispered secrets
keeps,
And all the wondrous harmonies Of
life
In greater harmonies Of death forget
the strife.
It seems to me but yesterday
] heard his happy rondelay,
And sat with HON on sunny slope
Aand talked of life and work and
hope;
But now-his eager voice is only
dumb and still
He leaps no longer up the beck-ning
hin,
And all Lies golden house that glow
ed with wondrous light
Is filed with shapeless shadows lean
ing to the night.
It seems to me but yesterday
In his deep eyes the wonders lay,
And hot with passion burned his
soul
With mad desires that burst con-
troll;
But now-the lakes unfathomed OF
his eyes are gone,
He wakes no more when come the
winds of dawn;
And all the pulses that once famed
with sweet desire
Ashes alone and clay that nothing
know of frel
It seems to me but yesterday
How soon, how swift he went away
And left me nothing but the shell
Inert and empty, where he used Il
DWELL
But now-ah, sometimes when the
windy breezes blow,
l hear again the voice used to know
And where the laughter reigns wher
golden days are born
We clasp glad hands again and face
the crimson mornl

When the Kaiser's ambassador advertised
the German intention to murder Ameri-

and children.
When the Kaiser continued to murder our

the blowing up of our munition plants, the
destruction of millions of dollars in property,

To restore Mexico to the land-kings and the

may hereafter say, the Constitution says that
the State troops cannot be called out of the
State, except for the three purposes mentioned.
President Wilson richly deserves IN
PEACHNENT, and Disqualification to hold
o1W office IN future.
AS political move, and to take the wind
out of the sails of the Republicans, he Is COM
majttjng this country to O. colossal crime,
AFTER Mexico has submitted to horrible
oestrages from the Negroes qnd the Indians
sent against peaceful Me1icao vizl0ges, and
after Carranza has released the % black
murderers whom the Mexicans had captured.
In short, Wilson is so bent on a 2nd term,
that he tramples upon the Constitution, goes
back on all his Christian phrase-making, and
risks the lives of 100000 brave and enthusi-
astic American boys, because one Mexican out
law, aOhom CaaTa7s20 a0aS chasing, found the
Columbus officers absent from their posts, the

THERE is not a line in the Constitution of
the United States which gives to the
president the power to call out troops for
a0qr Of conquest
Nor for intervention in the internal affairs
of another country.
Nor for paaaitive expeditions.
It is true that Congress may declare war;
and it is possible that Congress might be
invegled into war of conquest, as in the
Mexican War of 1868, and the Spanish War
Of 1898.
For the present, let us waive the question Of
The sending the regular army into Mexico,
a0ithout declaration of war.
I think that constitutional lawyers will
agree that, IN the absence Of such declaration,
Dur regular troops have been used uacon-
sktut<omal1y.
But as to the National Guard, there can be
no question that the President has run rough
shod over the Constitution ao1ticb he saOore to

militia, whose officers are appointed by the
State, and who are trained by the State,
according to the discipline prescribed by Con
gress.
The President recognized that they are
State troops, by calling on the Governors for
the various State contingents.
Now, the law of the U. S. Constitution is,
that Congress "shall have power to provide
for calling forth the militia, to execute the
z0a0s Of the Union, to suppress instructions,
and repeI ipva8ionS."
Congress cannot 60 beyond the Constitu-
ton.
Congress cannot do more than the Consti-
tuition empowers it to do.
Has the militia been called out, to enforce
u. S. laws in the Union? No.
To suppress insurrection in the Union? No.
To repel invasion of the Union? No.
Then, it has been unlawfully called out,
and is being unlawfully employed at the
Mexican border.
No matter what Congress may have said, or
