King George on Battlefield
"DTXIE JUBILEE"

Your songs were drenched with South
ern sun,
Simple were they; yet we heard
The banjos strumming through the
night;
The music of the mocking-bird.
The cravings of the black mans soul.
Too earnest to admit of guile,
You've shown us in his simple chants
That touched US though they made US
smile.
You've helped to clear our blinded
eyes;
You've sent mighty lesson home.
That black mans lives are like our
lives,
That black mems hearts are like our
own.
That God don't care for black or white
Nor is He bound by race or clan.
He has no temple but the one:
The terrible, simple, heart of man!

OPPENHEIMER
ON CHILDREN

"The child is the stuff out of which
civilization is made Rightly to train
and educate the child is better than to
deal with the made criminal. Forma-
ton and not reformation should be our
aim"
"a child is not cruel, he simply
doesn't understand that other people
have feelings as himself He is
naturally lawless; he doesn't under
stand the utility Of society"
ga child's whole legal philosophy is
summed up in the expression, Cheese
it, the cop"
TT is foolish to throttle and suppress
the energy of a child; one might just
as well tie down the throttle of a boiler
and express surprise when it blows
to pieces"
Eff stealing peaches had been a
crime during my youth. I'd be in the
penitentiary."

off to pick sticks for the rest Of your
life Then she wonders why Willie

KNIGHT SHIRTS
INITIATION IS
SERIOUS WORK
Exhausted Grand Master
Brammer and Minions Put
Boys Over Jumps.
BY Roscoe Fleming.

BY Roscoe Fleming.
We didn't think the Royal Order OF
Knight-shirts, the executive branch OF
the Y NJ C. A. Boys Roundup, was a
serious organization, until we took
part in their initiation.

by Exhausted Grand Master Brammer,
with his officers, and are yanked out
of bed while Henry Westenburg' s
watchful eye is somewhere else.
Monday night the three to go
through were three who had been in
itiated the night before, but not Off
ciaIly, said Brammer.
Eager to Take Part.
They were told that they were
wanted to take part in the initiation
and were full of anticipation when the
six boys chosen by Brammer met at
the Glen park gate at eleven.
Suddenly there was a low sharp
whistle, just as it happens in Nick
Carter and the Fatal Ring, and the
three prospective initiators were
seized and bound.
Details Of the initiation were sup
pressed by Brammer. The reporter
can say nothing of the GROWING mys-
teries of the ceremony, the mystic
Nine-Times Round, save that every
initiator bore a we'll balanced tent
peg, which bore signs Of use when
the night was over.
No Word About Bee.
Nor can he mention the humble
bee picked up in Reeveston woods, a
true sending from heaven, nor of the
part it played, save that several sharp
EXPLANATIONS were heard from the
initiates just before the bee was set
free.
Details Of the route taken also were
sup pressed, except that it led through
Reeveston woods and down South A
street after midnight, the three boys
who had tasted the joys OF Initiation in
lock-step in the middle of the street,
and their guards whistling care-free
tunes to the sleeping town.
Time that the procession got back
to camp was also put under the ban,
except that it was somewhere around
two a. m

COOPERATION WITH RAILROADS DURING
 WAR IE REQUESTED
Chairman Harrison, of Rail- way War Board, Urges State, County and Munich pal Authorities to Do Their Bit.

The railroads war board has ad- dressed a plea to public service com missions and all state, county and municipal authorities throughout the United States urging cooperation with the railroads in a suspension during the period of war of "all efforts not designed to help directly in winning the war"
 The specific suggestions which the railroads war board makes to all such authorities are embodied in a letter forwarded by Chairman Fair fax Harrison. In that letter MT. liar Tison says:
 "The present emergency has impos- ed upon the railroads very unusual strain in transporting men. food, coal. munitions and materials in argument ed quantities. This burden, while cheerfully undertaken, requires every ounce of energy. every unit of rolling stock, every dollar of capital. every bit of supplies of coal which the rail roads can command.
 ''t is the opinion of this committee that all efforts not designed to help directly in winning the war should be suspended during the period of the war. Indeed this is obviously the thought of President Wilson in his ap- peal to the country on April Is, 1917, which included the following state ment:
 It is evident to every thinking man that our industries must be made more prolific and more efficient than ever, and that they must be made more economically managed. and bet ter adapted to the particular require ments of our task than they have been
 Therefore, this committee earnest ly recommend that during the war railroads be required by the public authorities to make improvements and carry out projects involving the ex- penditure of money and labor only when they are absolutely essential for war purposes or public safety. The prevailing high interest rate on money, the difficulty of raising money in com petition with the tax-free issues of the government, the excessive cost of sup plies and labor. the delay in obtaining material the possible blockade of traf fife. and the diversion of labor all con | tribute 10 make non essential con struction undesirable during the war. The committee considers erection of new stations, elimination of grade crossings, are among non-essential i'm provements which should be deferred and suggests that the basis for consid- eration of new projects should be the increase in capacity of carriers for national service. Furthermore. we urge your cooperation in eliminating pas senger service merely convenient and not justified by public necessity during present emergency situation"
