IN SHOSHONE.

The mOIHER OE' A BOY
I didn't raise my boy to be a coward;
want my boy to go if there is war.
I want to stand and watch him proudly
marching,
l want to gaze upon him from the
door.
I do not want to lose him or to keep
him,
1 only long and long to have him be
A man whene'er his country comes to
sweep him
Into her surging legions of the free
I do not want my boy to be a craven;
love him, and I'd hate to see him go,
and yet I'd rather lose him, sadly lose
him,
Than have him hide in fear to face
the foe.
I've prayed with all the spirit of a
woman
For peace, and that the struggle
might not come;
But if it does 1 want him brave and
human,
My boy must march away with flag
and drum.
I'd give him. yes, a thousand times I'd
give him,
With all he means to me of love and
joy;
Because l would not love him if he
wasn't
My ideal of woman's kind of boy.
do not harbor hate nor yearn for
vengeance.
1 would not crush a violet with my
hand;
But if it comes to fighting, then 1 want
him
To be a man and struggle for his
land.
want my boy to go if we must enter
This mad world conflict raging in its
might;
with all it means to me to have him
leave me,
I'd give him to his country, help him
fight;
For so 1 think mother does her duty, |
And keeps her faith with honor and |
with God;
I didn't raise my boy to be a coward,
I'd rather have him dead and turned |
a clod.

WHY NOT?

If a female duke is a duchess,
Would a female spook be a spuchess ?
And if male goose is a gander,
Then would male moose be a mander?
If the plural of child is children,
Would the plural of wild be wildern? :?
If a number of cows are cattle,
Would a number of bows be battle?
If a man who makes plays is a play
wright,
Would a man who makes hay be a
playwright?
If person who fails is a failure,
Would a person who quails be a quail
ure?
If the apple you bite is bitten,
Would the battle you fight be fitten?
And if a young cat is a kitten.
Then would a young rat be a ritten?
If a person who spends is a spendthrift
Would a person who lends be a lend
thrift?
If drinking too much makes a drukard.
Would think ing too much max e
thunkard?
But why pile on the confusion?
Still I'd like to ask in conclusion,
If a chap from New York's a New
Yorker,
Would a fellow from Cork be corker?

CHICAGO, September 4-ChicaSo's
City Council. sitting as a committee
OF the whole. at tho end Of q turbu-
lent four-hour special session to-day,
adopted by a vote of AZ to q resolu-
ton praisins Governor Frank o. Low
den for his action in overriding Mayor
William Halo Thompson by refusing
permission to the Peoples Council of
America for Democracy and Terms of
Peace, to meet in Illinois. The Council
urged the Governor to prevent any
meeting in the future which may be
inimical to public safety or disloyal
or reasonable to the United States.
The resolution, which was presented
by Alderman Toman. was strengthened
by several amendments before final
adoption. The City Council will meet
on October to adopt tho resolution
recommended by the aldermanic COM
mittee OF the whole.
This course was made necessary by
the fact that there were not enough
Aldermen present to suspend the
rules for immediate passage of the
resolution. The session was held un
der a heavy police guard. with Mayor
Thompson presiding.
Mayor Thompson and his friends in
the Council made a stubborn parIia.
mentary fight to prevent the adoption
or the resolution. They made an un-
successful attempt to have the sub
tect referred to the committee on
schools for consideration.
