The growth of the work OF all the

WHAT OF THE CHARTER CASE,

n AWYERS are by no means agreed that we need to
l. have a municipal election on December l. They
differ even as 10 whether legally can hold an cleo
hon on that or other date while the validity of the New
charter remains in doubt The Commissioners therefore
should be of their ground before they plunge the civ
into municipal campaign which no one seems to want very
badly except misunderstanding. of course that there
is not little band Of chemng politicians somewhere in the
background.
The understanding that of late there has arisen fear
that although the present city commission is merely gov
eminent in fact and not government in law. the shadow
of authority which has been its for months will be removed
after the rst of next January, by which time the commits
slones will have served out four year term. IF that
means that the Commissioners and their attorneys think that
they would be relieved of responsibilities and the obligation
to continue providing government after that date and
that the City of Faimont without directing hand would
be adrift in unchared municipal unless they hold
the proposed election, they very much mistaken They
have held this long and they cannot quit when they
please. They have been doing business in the name of
the people of Famont and they go doing it even
though legal casuists may have doubts about it
AS much cannot be said for commission elected in De-
cember while the Charter of 1915 is tied up in the Federal
courts Ot of careful thought ought to be given that
phase of the situation before anything is done in the way
OF starting election machinery The practical side also
merits panstakng study. Unless the Supreme court de-
cares the Charter of 1915 be unconstitutional and that
would DC one OF the greatest surprises OF the long drawn
out charter struggle, election held in December would
Immediately become CT effect and another election would
have be held the proper notices could be given

The fair thing; the logical thing for the Commissioners
to do is to withdraw their suit in the Federal courts and
permit the election to be held under the terms of the New
charter which. we violate no confidence in saying con-
eeded to be perfectly legal by practically all the lawyers
who have examined into the matter. The principal objec-
ton of the Commissioners to the New charter at the time
OF its enactment that it egisIated them out of Office
without trial They have had full term in which to
show the people of the city what they could do and the city

deney to prevent the situation from getting entirely out of

France are being trained said: There
has been friendly rivalry going on
in the Rainbow" division among the
band leaders, as to which regimental
band is the best. There is only one
answer now. Each band is best-in
the minds of the men of each re
spective regiment.
The Iowa band, however. stole a
march on its Indiana competitors.
Handsome Dan Fraser, sergeant of
the Iowa band, had everyone guess.

rather lively march which had not
been heard in the camp before. 1t
was truly a new one, az the only

now whistling it.

Old familiar tune
Once it ran I'm dance and dimple,
Like a brook In June:
Now it sobs along the measures
With a sound of tears,
pear old voices echo through II,
Vanished with the years.
PLAY Il slowly-it is holy
As an evening HYMN.
Morning gladness hushed to sadness
Fills IL to the brim.
Memories come within the music.
Stealing through the bars;
Thoughts within it's quiet spaces
Rise and set like stars.
Ripple. ripple. goes the love song,
Till, in slowing time,
Early sweetness grown complete
Floods its every rhyme;
Who together learn the music
Life and death unfold,
Know that love Is but beginning
Until love is old.
Singing singing through the roses
Went our lovers twain
Was there ever such a rose time,
Could there be again?
Now they tell us. "Fiye-and-twents
Tunes we've see them blow;
Every .Iune's completer. sweeterE
Well. we lovers know"

Evening Prayer of a People.
Lord. from this storm-awakened
isle,
At this dark hour on land and sea
Twixt bugle-call and Sabbath bell
Go up our prayers to thee
For the long years of sanctuary
We tender thanks, o Lord,
For peaceful fields and sacred
hearths.
And the unused sword.
Thine be the praise. And now when
quakes
The world, and trials come.
o God, preserve i~nviolate
Our ancient island home.
0 had We died untried, improved,
And missed this hour of stress
Praise be to God for this last gift.
The JOY of steadfastness.
Where'er our people be tonight.
Our husbands or our sons,
Tossed on the thunder-bolted deep,
Or bivouacked by the guns;
Who tread the mire of foreign lands,
Or guard our native coasts,
Be thou their shield and comforter,
We pray thee. God of Hosts.
