LEFT BEHIND.

Say, buddy! amt it great to think
We're going home at last.
And mud and blood and rain and
pain
And frightfulness are past.
Twill just he Christmas when We
dock,
The wreaths will all be twined,
But gee, I hate like sin to leave
MY brother Dick behind.
Old Lady Liberty will look
Right beautiful to me
When we go sailing up the bay
From lands across the sea.
And mother will be waiting, too,
But how she'll cry to find
That som ewhere over there in France
I've left our Dick behind.
Well miss him in the little fiat
Be lonesome for a while
Without his merry boyish ways,
And ever ready smile.
But Madeline was sure a, peach
And pippin both combined,
lie married her, and so of course
I'm leaving Dick behind.

NEW WAR IN WASHINGTON.

Although situated far from the seat
of war in Europe, Washington seems
to have been infected by the bacilli
of belligerency. Recent events have
demonstrated the impatience Of those
who make our laws against executive
restraint. Now we have a new rebel
lion cropping out. IT is brother
against brother senator Sherman VS.
Representative Mann. And a merry
battle is in prospect,
Representative Mann, who halls
from Illinois, lately urged patricians
and plebians to refrain from heckling
President Wilson while on his peace
mission. Ills appeal is resented by
Senator Sherman, also from Illinois.
who attacks with ferocity Mr.. Mann's
candidacy for the Speakership Of the
House. Mr.. Sherman refuses to take
orders from Mr.. Mann and in
hands off and mind your own bust
ness" speech in the upper house yes
terday he belittled Mr.. Mann as q
politician, as a citizen of Illinois and
as a. spokesman for the Republican
party.
This is Mr. sherman's reply to Mr..
Manns appeal:
Upon several occasions he has
been seized with an indispensable
desire to have the delegates from
his own State in q national con-
vention. Ee never even nosed
under the wire and got a dele
gate in his life, and he never
will. T take no instructions from
this self constituted mouthpiece
of the Republican party as hail
ing from Illinois, even if he does
presume to be a Republican de-
livering orders to all to whom he
may have access. I am mention
ing no names, as it would be a
breach Of the parliamentary rules
to do so.
Despite murmurs of disapproval in
the galleries, Mr.. Sherman continued
his TRADE and declared open war on
Mr.. Mann by declainaing: IT wish
to warn the Republicans Of the House
and of the United States that If they
wish to fritter away their majority
let them choose such leaders and go
into the ditch again. He belongs to
that band Of distinguished Tories who
never forget anything because they
have nothing to forget and never
learned anything.
Mr.. Sherman Is really becoming
more like an old fashioned Democrat
every day. Time was when such crit
icism came only from the Democratic
side of the fence.

Mr.. Taft does not believe Mr. Will
son should be the perpetual president
OF thu league. The leadership should
a&tanh to the office and not to the
person. Mr.. TAFT says, and Mr. Will
sons successor at Washington should
automatically become president of the
Iseagsse OF Natforg. MIR. Taft writes
that he understands President Wilson
aapares to become president of the
lengue. TT so, 1t is q proper aspira-
tom, he declares.
Other nations may not second the
nomination If the office Is to be filed

United States. It is probable that
European countries would prefer to
decide the leadership in rotation,
which would not be unfair despite the
feeling of pride every American
would have if the presidency came to
the United States permanently.
Mr.. Taft does not agree with For
mer Attorney General Wickersham,
who alleges President Wilson has VIC
lated the Constitution by attending
the peace conference. In fact, certain
advantages will be gained by Mr.. Will
sons personal attendance, Mr.. Taft
believes. He frowns upon any at
tempt to nag the President, saying
THE disposition of some to nag the
President, however, by urging the
adoption of resolutions inviting the
Vice President TO act for the Presi-
dent meets with no popular favor.
Mr.. Taft's attitude and pronounce
ments appeal to every fair-minded
man and woman.

SLOPER'S BUNGALOW
IS RAIDED BY BOYS
Summer House on PIainville Mt. Par
TALLY emoIished-Culprits Are
Caught and Locked Up.

Harold T. Sloper's bungalow on the
peak of the Plainvlle mountain was
entered last night and damages
amounting to $500 resulted from the
actions of the five boys who were
arrested in connection with the en-
trance. Just how serious the dam
ages might have been had not Mr..
Sloper arrived in time to prevent
them, is a matter of conjecture as
the boys had spilled kerosene all
over the floor and were apparently
making preparations to burn up the
place. The boys arrested are Will
liam Ralph South Main street, Louis
Okula, High street, Roy jacksonville,
76 West Main street, Donald Daniels
Main street and Gouvernor Johnson.
They will be tried in the PlainVille
court.
Upon hearing yesterday afternoon
that a gang of five boys had entered
his summer home Mr.. Sloper left
this city and went, with friend to
Plainville While advancing toward
the house he met the "Outpost.'
While wrestling with him another
boy, carrying a revolver, demanded
his release. 1t was an easy matter to
get the revolver and when it was il

Give Watchmen More Than Tea
But AT Present Wages and Prices That's About All The
Waterman to Buy
By EARL GODWIN.

On Saturday Waterman employed by the Department
OF Agriculture called at my Office to present the text of
petition to Congress that the pay of the watch force be
increased
1t IS now two dollars day.
On Sunday this newspaper published statement Tom
responsible officer of the army showing that food prices
had increased IN Washington much 356 per cent.
Can there be any further argument to the need of
more than two dollars day for Government Waterman
or any other kind of watchmani
The statement from Major j. O. Skinner the officer
toned, contains the bitter consolation that tea alone has
remained at its anebeum level the average price of forty
cents having remained stable during these years of soaring
prices.
Perhaps the Congress of the United States believes that
hired to guard the valuable papers and treasures of
Government Office live tea all day long and year
and year out
Tea is great drink, but what the Government watch
man wants is little bulk to his nourishmen and few
dollars left for rainy day. There every reason on
earth for the immediate passage of legislation raising these
ptful salaries, and NO why the NOLAN THREE
bill should not be enacted.
The Waterman at the Department of Agriculture would
do we'll to study the aims and accomplishments of the Fed
Grafton of Federal Employees That association with more
than 1900 members in Washington alone has already
accomplished many fine things in the way of lettering cond
tons and getting better wages.

ment property. ...'

HEARD AND SEEN

There is a mean person who runs
a cigar stand. An army sergeant
went up to the newsstand and asked
if the New York papers had arrived
and upon being answered in the at
firmative, requested permission to
look at the New York Sun. The
man replied, What the hell do you
think l am running? A reading
room for dirty soldiers? If you want
a paper, you'll buy it." The SER
geant paid his nickel and then told
the dealer what he thought of him.

treatment of the boys in khaki by
Washingtonisns, that ! am printing
