THREE LONG RAHS.

Tomorrow former Justice Hughes will journey up to Providence to take part in the commencement exercises of his old alma mater, Brown univer- sity There shall be great glee mani fested at his return, for although MT. old campus and commingled with the students who roam thereabout he goes this time as the cOnQuering g hero, the man of the hour, the savior of the nation. He will be hailed as the greatest living graduate of Brown university just as Woodrow Wilson was received before his election as the most wonderful man Princeton ever turned out, as Taft was accorded hOnors at Yale and Roosevelt at Har- vard And yet those college boys are tickle lads, very fickle It will be re- membered how Princeton held Wilson in holy horrors while he was President of the university, and before he went into politics. Nor was Taft always the 1NAO1 dl l CtlS III tie QdNS D01OrG ms chances for the presidency Roose- welt, too, had hard time of it hold ing the Harvard devotion. To prove then that Hughes is no exception to the rule, the Brown university stu dents not so long ago manifested their dislOyalty to him by making him their 2 f Tra 1Otn of
 dential preferences. And the Justice at that time ran a poor third in the students balloting. They gave their first preference to Colonel Roosevelt and second support to President Will son. But that was two or three weeks ago. When MT. Hughes arrives at Providence this time he will probably get three long rahs.

A Dissatisfied Bull Moose.

Philadelphia North American.)
 The republican party is decadent This fact was potent to every witness; it will be the chief feature of the writings of trained political observers. And such Is the Judgment not mere ly of impartial experts; we have first hand knowledge that it is shared by the most intelligent of the republican leaders, such as they are
 Whether the action of the conven- ton shall result in good or evil for the country. one thing made known is that the republican party as it now stands is bereft of ability, of vi- sion, of patriotism, of leadership, of conscience. And if it is to survive, some way must be found to infuse into its senile veins the red blood of vigorous, forward-Iooking American ism. <
 Born of high resolve and dedicated to great service, it made during half a century a record of worthy accom- plishment and fidelity to robust ideals But materialism has sapped its faith and narrow partisanship has palsied the fbers of its being Virtue has gone from 1t, and unless an unfore- seen miracle of regeneration can be- worked, it is doomed to sink into un- honored decrepitude

The Dog.
(Ame erican Field)

\AlI16IlCd1l T lG1Q I've never known a dog to wag
 His tail in glee he didn't feel Nor quit his Old-time friend to tag
 At some more influential heel The yellOWest eur I ever knew Was, to be the boy who loved him,
 true.
 I've never known a dog to show
 Halfway devotion to his friend, To seek a kinder man to know
 Or richer, but unto the end The hum blest dog I ever knew Was, to the man that loved him, true. I've never known a dog to fake
 Affection for a present gain, A false display of love to make,
 Some little favor to attain. I've never known a Prince Or Spot That seemed to be what he was not. But I have known a dog to fight
 With all his strength to shield a friend,
 And whether wrong or whether right, To stick with him until the end. And I have known a dog to lick The hand of him that men would
 kick.
 And I have known dog to bear
 Starvation bangs from day to day With him who had been glad to share His bread and meat along the way. No dog, however mean or rude, Is guilty of ingratitude The dog is listed with the dumb, No voice has he to speak his creed, His messages to humans come By faithful conduct and by deed. He shows, as seldom mortals do, A high ideal of being true

Setting the Clock Ahead.
(DGtrOit News. )


 We learned from Cleveland how to tack another hour of daylight to our afternoons. Germany and Holland recently moved the hands of their clocks an hour ahead: England fol- lowed suit, and one house of the French national legislature has ap- proved a similar act. Tn the United States, the middle west is thinking and talking of stealing a march on Father Time in the same way. with Chicago the center of the agitation.
 If Chicago adopts eastern time, she will do Detroit and Michigan and Ohio and Indiana a great service, for she will force legislative action to make the earlier time official in all those states. We should then no longer get up in the morning by one clock and do our travelling by an- other. We should be saved the em- barrassment of arriving at the station an hour in advance of train time be- cause we couldn't remember that we ought not to add an hour to the time printer on tEe card. Chicago will have to get used to arising and dressing by electric light, three months in the year; but the price IS easy to pay when the summer bene- fits are realized. Go, Chicago; go ahead one hour, and earn our gratl- Nude,

dent has called for the services of the National Guard These troops will
 mobilize and make ready for duty on the border at once. This does not necessarily mean that they are to be engaged forthwith in war. If there is
 any fighting to be done the regular
 army will take care of that, at least
 for the present. The militia will act
 primarily as a first line force. Later
 it may be swung into allied action For
 taking this step President Wilson will
 be severely criticised, as he has been
 held up to ridicule for not doing the
 same thing long ago. For the entire
 past year the hostile press of the coun-
 try has been calling for an invasion of
 Mexico. Now, as soon as it begins
 to look as if war is really at hand as if the country is on the verge of in tervening in Mexican affairs, there is a cry against taking our soldiers out
 of the country at a time when their services are needed in the industrial
 
 vacillating than the attitude of his numerous critics? First they de- nounce him for standing by and exer-
 cising Christian patience, e,-watching and waiting. Then they decry any action on his part. The rancors run thus: "He should have done this at the beginning, as soon as Taft turned the problem over to him." By the same reasoning Taft, and Roosevelt, and Mckinley should have cleared up the situation. Whatever is done now, whether it be war with Mexico or spasmodic battling, cannot be blamed on Wilson. On the shoulders of the provisional president of Mexico, Gen. eral Carranza, must rest the respOnsi- bility of the future. If President Polk in his message to Congress dated May Il, 1846, could say "As war exists and, notwithstanding all our efforts to avoid 1t, exists by the act of Mexico herself" so surely can President Will son, in any message he may see fit to write to the Congress, place the blame where it belongs.
 The Mexican crisis has come to a pass where it can no longer be ignored. 1 the persistent demands of l Carranza that our troops move | neither to the east, or the west, or the south, but that they be withdrawn, and this in the face of repeated raids by bands of outlaws, the First Chief 1 has shown himself not in sympathy with American efforts to aid him. Were he in stronger position our answer would be in keeping. But since he is on the verge of topping from his throne, the only thing to do is keep our regular troops in Mexi- co and back up the border with the militia as a reserve force. To with draw would place the United States n a peculiar position in the eyes of he Mexican people. Not to take every precautiOn against future at acks on American life and property would be viewed as wilful neglect by hose who live in our border states.
 Concerted action, mobilization of our militia along the Mexican border will have sobering effect upon the sit 1ation, or it will invite attack Then will be the beginning of the end of Mexico's troubles.

The Plate That Failed.

QAugusta (Me.) Kennebec JournaD. He had just taken his usual seat in the editorial sanctum, after few days absence and arrived just in -ime to hear of rather successful joke on one of the party.
 Well, that reminds me of one It was meant for me, but I had the laugh on my-guess I'd better not tell yet who it was You see, she was in destructible' ware, which the clerk threw and kicked about without breaking, thought 1t a pretty good chance for a joke on me and bought plate. 1 think it was the next morning, when I was working in the garden, I heard a call to hurry to the house, so, supposing something serious had happened I went in on the double-quick, arriving just in time to see my-her throw that 'in- destructible'' plate to the floor for the purpose of surprising me. I con- fess I was surprised, for the plata broke into at least 50 pieces and the look on my w-her face was worth all the anxiety I had felt over the sudden summons. Did she laugh We'll, l did most of the laughing just then, although after she had recov- cred from the shock meant for me. she managed to smile once or twice."
