Go on further. bide you there.
First love’s guerdon proudly wearing.
Never think of further faring;
Life’s first love Is treasure rare.
Other loves are not so fair.
First love is the dearest thing.
Of all things the worthest keeping—
Lost. Is worth a whole life’s weeping.
First love’s joy the poets sing;
Lost, it is a lifetime’s sting.

NO DREAM.
And oranges were there- -great yellow globes
Heaped up and pent in bowls of beaten gold.
And rare gems sparkled, hid in priceless robes;
And goblets, slender-stemmed, held wines so old
As made the oldest one foregathered there
Seem young, absurdly young, of yesterday!
And there were rubies strung on throats as fair
As alabaster columns. All was gay.

A MARVELOUS RECORD.
The Japanese have excited the wonder of the
world from the beginning of the war with Russia,
but not the least wonderful of an their great
achtevements is the remarkable triumph of their
field surgeons and field hospitals. The report of
the chief surgeon of General Oku's army yill
challenge the attention of all western military de-
partments. The remarkable statement is made that
in the entire army of probably 108,000 men at this
time, there have been only forty deaths from dis-
ease, a showing that cannot be equalled by any city
of the world containing a population as large as
Oku’s army. evu in a time of peace.
Going into details, the report shows that from
May fl to Dec. 1 there were treated 24,642 cases
of disease. Of these forty resulted fatally. 18,578
recovered. 5.609 were sent to Japan and the re-
mainder were undergoing treatment when the
figures were compiled. There were only 193 cases
of typhoid, thirty-four of dysentery and 5,509 of
beri-beri. When we consider the terrible fatality
of our army camps during the Spanish-American
.war we can faintly appreciate the wonderful show-
to tuof the Japanese.
Shatacarcety less remarkable is the showing as re-
llowjs the Bounded. The figures show that 21,080
the jeers,and men were wounded, of whom only 16
tericent died. This is probably the best showing
ever made, but it is largely attributed to the small
caliber of the bullets used by the Russians.
The success of the medical department of the
army is no doubt due largely to the discipline of
the Japanese army, which strictly guards the com-
missary and enforce sanitation laws. All the cor-
respondents who have written of the Japanese
camps have marveled at their cleanliness as well as
the personal cleanliness of the soldiers. The Jap-
anese are frequent bathers either at home or in the
field and they practice in their living what Dr.
’ Wagner would call the simple life.
When we think of the experiences of our sol-
diers in Florida, Alabama, Virginia/ Cuba and
finally at Montauk Point. N. Y., it would seem that
our war department might learn some valuable
lessons from Japan in the matter of the commis-
sary and camp sanitation. So might the military

TEXAS RIVER PROJECTS.
It appears that a few interested persons in Gal-
veston sought to have the appropriation for Trinity
river applied to the lower part of the stream where
they have investments, instead of the upper end
as the rivers and harbors committee of congress
had decided. Their activity in the matter put the
city of Galveston in the false attitude of Interfer-
ing with other Texas projects, and caused consid-
erable feeling in Washington and in Texas cities
and harbors.
As a matter of fact, the commercial organisations
of Galveston and the entire citizenship repudiate
the opposition, and the interested parties regret
their ill-considered action. Galveston "people wish

SCHOOL HOUSE BURNED.
THE REAGAN IDEA REVIVED.
A* a fat of political history ana in vindication
of the wisdom of an eminent Texan, the following
excerpt from congressional debate on the Presi-
dent’s Interstate railway regulation proposal will
be-read with interest:
Mr. Williams of Mississippi—As I stated, a great
Democrat, Senator Reagan of Texas, stood here for
years for the very’ principles of the legislation
which the President is recommending now. There
came a Democratic time when there was a Demo-
cratic house and a Democratic President, and this
house passed the’ Reagan bill. It went to the senate.
Railroad influences were brought to bear there, as
well as other influence. I am charging no bad
motive to anybody.
It is natural that people who are Interested will
lobby and use their influence to prevent themselves
from being cut out any more than possible, and the
railroad companies favored another bill which was
introduced by Mr. Cullom in the senate, and the
senate as a consequence—a Republican senate—
struck out everything except the enacting clause
and substituted the language of the Cullom bill.
That bill came back to the house, and the house
again struck out all except the enacting clause and
substituted the Reagan bill. That bill then went
to conference, and finally the Democrats found it
impossible to get any legislation at all unless they
would accept the Cullom bill. They therefore
agreed finally to give up the Reagan bill and accept
the Culiom bill as a step in the right direction,
end the debates upon this floor at that time showed
that to be the attitude which they took; but mean-
while they had contended most earnestly for days in
the house and tn conference for the provisions of
the Reagan bill, which had been declared by the
raiiroads to be too drastic, and the other bill was
substituted finally in conference rather than be
without any legislation at all. Now, that is a his-
torical statement. -
It will be recalled, also, that Judge Reagan was
the first chairman of the Texas railway commis-
sion. Considering the acknowledged superiority of
the Texas commission system and the long deferred
vindication of the Reagan interstate commerce bill,
it appears that this great Texan deserves a vast
amount of oredit which he will not likely receive
except by close students of political history.
The Missouri legislature may not elect a senator
at this session, but even if it doesn't he, never will
be missed. And if it does, he never will be Nied-
ringhaus.
