Freddy Graytop Smells Spring

FREDpY GRAYroP stuck his head out
from his home by the alley and
shifted the weather.
Sniff, sniff! Sniff, sniff!
"Now what is there about this day
that is different?" asked Freddy Of
ne one In particular. II guess I'd

Sniff, sniff! sniff, sniff!

happily. ..It's spring." And he
slipped out from his home right joy
fully.
"But II isn't spring at ALL" he
crfed-for what do you suppose he
found on the ground? Snow! Yes.
sir! Snow! Though there was not
much OF 1t, to be sure.
.'Now that's the funniest thing
ever heard of" said Freddy in a
puzzled voice. THE weather smells
exactly like spring-it can't fool mel
Yet look at the snow"
But he bravely wandered out into
the yard, In spite of the snow, and
began looking around and smiling
harder than before.
Finally he thought of something,
and then how he did laugh at him.
self!
"Isn't that good joke on me?'' he
exclaimed joyously. Jack Frost is
just trying TO see II he can't hold
back the spring! So he's sending
little snow. even when the air blows
warmer. Well, he will not fool Fred
dy Graytop, not hei mean to 90
right out to that garden and play

fence and into the next yard.
Now, at that very same minute, .
pretty little house cat, named Pussy,
stuck her nose out at the front door
of her house. And she. too, smelled
spring.
So she slipped through a crack in
the door, darted across the front

state Rights Again.
Chronicle. Pocatello. }

1t must be admitted that Senator
Borah has all the best of his argument
in his opposition to federalizing the
national guard. The senator says 1t
can't be done under the constitution,
and at this distance from the scene
Of action he seems to be radically
right
The national guard is state insti-
tuition. It has always been such. 1t is
subject to the orders of the governor
and not of the president. This has al
ways been so.
1t is an awkward situation, 1t is true.
1t has always made the guard practi-
cally worthless, viewed from the
standpoint of continental army to be
sent to distant points in the nation, or
out of the country altogether.
The national guard is valuable or
ganization and it performs valuable
service, operating within its proper
sphere. But it is no part of national
army and cannot be made such with
out radical changes in its organization
and it's relationship to the federal gov
eminent.
This is an issue that brings out
acutely the rights and powers of the
states. The right to govern and con-
troll it's militia is one that no state
will surrender lightly. Senator Borah
knows this and he is lawyer enough to
see the obstacles that stand in the
way, even IL some of the states were
ready and willing to make the sur
render.
Congress may be able to solve this
problem; it may work out scheme
under which the national guard may
be made an essential part of a ma
tional army; but it must be admitted
that nothing Of this kind has yet been
presented to the public.
Even casual reading of the Con
gressional Record will convince the
reader that Senator Borah occupies
strong ground on this question.

THE CHRIST OF THE ANDES.

Some years ago when war seemed
imminent between Argentina and Chile,
a good Catholic priest succeeded in
quelling the warning factions. He
caused to be erected a monument of
Christ high up in the Andes mountains.

tries. Today 1t stands there symbol

countries, war shall be no more.

Waits the oncoming Armageddon storm
OF battle, booming I'm and bursting

The Christ of the Andes, on mountain
height.
Hand uplifted, with lips that ever
sing
Sweet stories of peace, borne by eagle

u. S. Senator w. E. Borah
and the National Guard
roRiAL COMMENT TAKEN FROM THE Press

Borah to stand up against that kind
of political pressure.
There are constitutional limitations,
declares Senator Borah, to making
the militia forces OF the several states
dependable and unified arm of the
national defense. Judge Advocate Cen
eral Crowder, official legal authority
of the United States army, has af-
firmed a like belief in his testimony
before the senate committee on mill
tary Affairs.
Il take it." said General Crowder,
that no one desires to lose the CO.
operation of the IS states of the Union
in the development of an efficient citi-
zen soldiery. No one likes to be put
in an attitude toward the question
where he would appear lacking in APP
probation of the splendid and patriotic
effort which the national guard puts
forth to develop itself into that class
of troops but IL they are laboring I'M
der constitutional handicaps which will
prevent them from developing into that
class of troops, that seems to me to be
the end of the argument"
General Crowder was asked by a
member of the committee what he
thought was absolutely essential" to
making the existing national guard
absolutely available for national needs
whenever the national government
thinks the militia is required" Il think
a constitutional amendment would be
necessary" he replied.
In it's efforts to federalize the ma
tional guard without changing the con-
stitution congress is perplexing itself
with an unsolved puzzle that has baf-
| fled for 10 years the ablest legal and
| legislative minds of the nation. A
committee of the house of representa-
tives said in 1880 that no subject, un7
! less it be that of finance had ever
engaged the attention of congress so
long and so often as had the subject
of militia Nearly every congress
since the foundation of the govern
ment, as General Crowder told the SEN
ate committee, has considered some
scheme Of militia liberalization"
Criticism of the guard is against the
system, it's constitutional restrictions,
and not against tho personnel. If these
boys are not patriotic, then patriotism
is about extinct in this country. They
are deserving of our high respect and
cordial appreciation, and exactly be-
cause they have set a fine example
of regard for duty and devotion to their
4 country, their country owes it to them
to organize q citizen soldiery that will
| be a bulwark of strength in time of
national necessity.

TO-DAY WEAR A SMILE.

TN the sweet by-and- by"
OFT we sing with sigh,
And wonder how long 1t will be,
Fer we bask in the light,
OF that day without night.
And the King in his beauty see.
Mortal man Is so frail,
That at times he would hail,
The boatman who phys the dark stream
And be borne out of sight,
To that land of delight,
Lies woes to forget like a dream.
If folks only would sing,
With a shout and a ring,
OF the sweet things we have, today;
or old earth is so fair,
Full of beauties so rare,
Q my heart, be blithesome and gay.
So, today wear a smile,
For it sure is worth while,
Thus to help chase away life's gloom;
IT'S the merry of face,
And glad hearts full of grace,
For whom the world always finds room
Then we'll not have to sigh,
For the sweet by-and by,
But heaven on earth it viii be;
Till at length we will sail.
When earth's glories grow pale,
To our home far beyond the sea.
