Notice to Poets

THE poet who flung roses, roses riot
ously with the throng should have
known Miss Margaret E. Boal of
East Glendale, California. For Miss Boal
could have supplied all the flora necessary
for him and for the throng too. She has
1900 two-year-old Ulrich Burners and
1900 Cecil Burners (these are rose plants,
you understand, not gentlemem; and she
sells and gives away thousands of roses
every week, not to mention the rose petals
that she sells to perfumers.
For seventeen years Miss Boal was
milliner. Then, pretty well tagged out,

nDD files of humanity wash in with
the tide that flows into our modern
recruiting offices. The recruiter
divides them into four classes: the
prospect" the "boot," the previous SER
vice man," and the repeater"
The prospect" is the man who asks
casual questions of the recruiting sergeant.
Ii he passes this conversational stage and
passes the preliminary examination, he
becomes boot Flat feet and poor teeth
and eyes thin out the applicants pros
poets, so that but one in twelve rises to the
dignity of a boot The previous service
man is, of course, the man who reenlists.
"Back to the Army Again,
Sergeant
OF the four classes, the repeater is at
the same time the most interesting
and the most vexatious to the recruiting
officer Either he has been "scrapped"
by Uncle Sans medical survey as unfit
handed the "yellow ticket" as undesirable,
so called because his discharge is made out
on a yellow form instead of on the parch-
ment of the honorably discharged-or has
deserted the colors. He comes back in
surprisingly large number, under false
name, and resorts to every device to
resnter the service. If the army sees
through his deception, he hikes to the
nearest navy or marine corps recruiting
Office. Rejected by all three, he rides the
brake-beams to another city, to go
through the same routine.
The recruiting service has it's own
checks on the repeater's ambition. The
fnger-print system leads all the rest.
If a man shows suspicious ear-marks,
his finger-prnts are "rolled" on an official
form, and this is transmitted to Wash
ington with the notation Special written
across it's face in red ink. Within two
hours of its receipt a telegram is received
from Washington, showing no previous
service or giving his name and history.
The betrayal Of former service by
habits of the battle-ground or the slang of
barracks or ship argot crop out at times
and tighten the weeding-out labor When
the man strips for examination and walks
across the floor at command, he will al
most invariably start off with the left
foot and halt in the position of soldier.
The examination goes on, and at the

abrupt order "About face!" he executes
the move without hesitation. Or, as he
warns up to the flavor of the old atmos-
phere for which he longs, "When do you
ship?" he will innocently ask; or, "How's
the chow at the recruit depot?" If he
seeks refuge in stony silence, his reti-
cence is equally suspicious, and trap is
laid for him. A pig on the instep, a
Chinese dragon, a Japanese woman, a
five-pointed STAR sailor-knots, military
devices, and patriotic emblems lead the
tell-tale list of tattoo marks. In the navy
the most popular device is the pig on the
instep the ancient charm of the Chinese
against drowning. In the marines or the
the arm leads in favor The dragon came
into vogue with the soldiers and marines
who took part in the march of the allies
to the rescue of the legations at Peking
in 1900.
The reenlisted man, with his discharge
from the service to show his identity. goes
through the examination with quiet eff
cheney. Any recruiting officer can step
into a crowded examination room and
spot him. When he strips he folds each
bit of clothing and lays it on chair as
if making it ready for a clothing locker.
He is scrupulously clean in dress and
body, and radiates self-respect.
Few Thrills in Recruiters Day
PROSPECTS and boots are apt to be
colorless lot. You may, however, if
you are lucky, begin in the morning with
a manufacturer of boys "pants' who has
tired of commercial strife, and follow
up with a miniature Houdini. His kit
of sixty-odd keys, wires, jimmies, odd
button-hooks, and nails opens any door,
as he demonstrates; but his uncanny skill
bars the door to the service. There is no
meaner thief than the "sea-bag" or "cloth-
ing-locker" thief. The next boot walks
in to his examination with such an exag
gerated display of the feet that you find
he has been clown who specialized in
the Charlie Chaplin walk. A collegian
enlists for commission, veteran of the
Canadian contingent who was "gassed" at
Ypres comes in, followed by quiet gray
eyed youngster who has walked thirty
miles to enlist. Thus ends recruiting
officers days haul of "boots."

ATTEND IN PERSON

Those representatives Of the Democratic party
 who have been elected as delegates to the Juneau con- venton who possibly can do so, should attend the convention in person. The party and the Territory need their counsel and their wisdom The convention should be as large as Is possible to have it. There
 win be too many proxies in 1t at best That is neyi' table on account of the great distances that prevail in Alaska and the lack of transportation facilities The distant divisions win necessarily have only few or their representatives in the convention in person. There is every reason to believe that they will be very capable men and very excellent representatives but n is unfortunate that there cannot be more like them for there is wisdom in numbers The next best thing IS to have all the First Division delegates present
 Proxy conventions are not wolesome anyhow. No matter how wise the actions of such gathering nor how responsive 1t is too difficult to avoid the ap- pearance at least of steamrollering The Democratic convention must not be cut and dried affair It must be representative of public sentiment The will of the rank and Tile must be translated into party action Therefore the delegates should attend the convention in person they should go into it with ou, advance pledges. determined to give their best though, and wisest judgment to their party and Alaska.

THE IRISH EXECUTIONS

Lei us admit that all John Redmond and Premier Asouith have said about the recent Irish rebellion IS true Ie, us admit that the rebels. representing mi nority of the Irish people committed crime-costly and cruelty fendish crime-against the Irish people os well as against the government. and committed IL at the connivance Of National in time of war No, ,be popular verdict the world will justify b positon of John Dillon in the speech delivered in the Commons yesterday. and condemn the action Of h British government for the executions that have taken place in Dublin just as 1t has condemned Great
 Britain for scores of wholesale Irish executions during h hundred wears that have last passed. In spite or b terms of the British law and in spite of the fact that the criminaIiy foolish men who attempted the r,possible task of establishing Irish Republic by force against the desires Of majority of the Irish neoole timed their task In the midst Of a terrible ,r in which the National life is the stake at issue The world will not forget that the act was inspired bv generations of inbred racial hatred for England and the English resulting from treatment that many English statesmen have condemned even more severe v than Dillon denounced it in yesterdays speech Fo1 that reason the treason for whchthe Sim rem eao- ~ were executed was not of the character that should have met with the extreme penalty that was admin isterd
 Granting that iuste was administered according n the letter of the law it's administration was one or the many British blunders that have cost that people SO dearly since the beginning of the war At the out break of the rebellion were so shocked and out raeed as the thinking majority of the Irish people But the wholesale executions caused reaction and Ireland has added many martyrs to the long list of her nlustrious dead. and whole world has stopped discussing the execution of Miss cavell substituting English cruelty a topic
 The occasion was one when justice should have been tempered woth mercy and Great Britain showed none.

 Under the constitution President Diaz cannot be

During the three years his residence here he has travelled extensively. and few men in Central America possess hs intimate knowledge of the United States It is his purpose elected. to establish schools modelled upon institutions visited by him in this country and to vtalize agriculture in Nicaragua on scientific lines
 After all the turmoil and tyranny of the zelaya re zine it is gratifying note the reestablishment of popular government in Nicaragua.
