FORT CROOK, Jan. 4. Bpeclal.)-"The
Vnlform of the American Soldier Again
the Matter of Discrimination" la the sub
ject of an article under Fort Riley notea In
The Bee of December 28. We are glad to
not, though, that it Is not the proprietor
of anv large hotel In lyeavenworth, but only
the proprietors of a skating rink of Junc
tion City, who not only discriminate against
the uniform of the enlisted men, but offi
cers aa well. The facts ahow that the
proprietors had no objection to enlisted
men skating In civilian clothes and no
matter how dirty or ragged the civilian
clothing of a man may be his money was
the principal object, and these same pro
prietors admitted that there was a preju
dice against the wearer of the uniform ex
isting In the city.
Now, aa the affair took place on Thanks
giving night, when more or less drinking
was Indulged In by civilians, as well as by
soldiers, and there were a few soldiers
who had on the wrong skates. It was per
fectly right and Just to refuse them ad
mission, but wrong to condemn all for the
Wrong doings of a few for the simple rea
son they had on the uniform of an Amer
ican soldier. There are a great many peo
ple In the United Btatea who are not fa
miliar with army affairs enough to have
sny Idea of the character of a soldier.
They Imagine a soldier capable of commit
ting any crime on record from petty theft
to cold-blooded murder. It Is not to be
denied that we have a few criminals In
the army, but If the dally papers tell the
truth there Is quite a Urge share of them
In civil life.. It would be Impossible to
rick at random from men of the army
rom different parts of the Vnlted Stales
and representatives of every class of peo
ple and hatlons of the world. Including the
noble red man, the sable-hued son of
Africa and the celestial Chinaman and not
find some criminals. Army life has a ten
dency to discourage crime and perpetrators
of crime are very severely dea.lt with. As
a rule military punishment Is dealt out
very liberally and the offender receives a
sentence ranging from two to ten times
as much as would bo received at the hands
of civil authorities. It Is not to be denied
that a great many soldiers do drink and
some of them to an excess. Is Intemper
ance wholly confined to the srmy? Hardly
so. If tradition Is true, whisky waa in
vented some years previous to the organ
ization of the regular army. Is not a sol
dier as much entitled to the evil necessi
ties and luxuries of life as his civilian
brother, who Is a little more comfortably
situated. It Is not to be denied that some
soldiers gamble In a small way. Arc not
some of the most influential citizens guilty
of the crime of gambling? Oh, no, of course
not. They only speculate. Well, it can he
called speculation If desire, but it Is to bo
doubted. Isn't any speculation a game of
chance? And Isn t any game of chance
gambling? It Isn't a soldier's fault that his
speculations are confined to a few dollars
and cents Instesd of corner lots and town
property. How often has It come out In
print that soldiers are a useless lot of
men, kept up by the taxpayers of the
United States. Well, what of It? Who pro
tects this same taxable property In times
of riots, strikes and Indian troubles? Now
then, for the sake of those who are will
ing and ready to lay down their lives at
the call of duty for the protection of your
homes and families and who wear the
proud uniform of the American soldier,
let them have peace while they may, for
you do not know how soon vou may be
Indebted to us for the safety of your llres
and property, and to those who can speak
no good of us respect u enough not to
condemn the shortcomings of a class of
people you know nothing of except hear
say. Christmas and New Year's at the fort
was spent in the usual quiet manner by the
many troops stationed thereat. The fol
lowing Is a menu of some of the companies
on Christmas day: Oyster soup, celery,
turkey, fresh pork, cranbeiry sauce, apple
sauce, gilbert gravy and oyster dressing,
spinach, lettuce, green onions, radishes,
cream peas, cream potatoes, potatoes scal
loped with cheese, turnips, stewed corn,
lobster, shrimp and tomato sauce, olives,
marble cake, cocoanut cake, Jelly cake,
mince and pumpkin pie. doughnuts, apples,
oranges, mixed nuts, wine, chocolate, cof
fee and cigars. This has a tendency to
show that the soldier certainly enjoys his
Christmas dinner.
ChrlHlniMs lo, was spent In the Philip
pine Islands by moat of the troops now
stationed at Fort Crook, and as It was
their last Christmas In the Islands for some
time to coma, company "I", Sixteenth In
fantry, decided that a Christmas tree
would be a novel affair, which proved to
be by far the moat elaborate Christmas
celebration of any organisation at Fort
McKlnley.
Christmas eve, Colonel and Mrs. Gard
ener gave a Christmas tree party to ail the
officers and enlisted men's children of the
post and the occasslon was a pretty affair
aa each of the children were given some
kind of a present and all thought the Col
onel and Mrs. Gardener were even bettor
than Santa Claue.
Later In the evening the little ones were
invited to a similar party given by Chd
tain and Mrs. W. C. Bennett. Blxteenth
Infantry, from whom they eaoh received a
present, and on Christmas afternoon. Cap
tain and Mrs. Crlmmins, Sixteenth Infan
try, entertulnud the little one and glad
dened their hearts by adding other pres
ents to all present.
Orders have been issund by the War de
partment whenever "The Star Spangled
Banner" la played by the band on a formal
occassion at a military atation, or at any
place where persona belonging to tho mili
tary service are present in their official
capacity, all officers and enlisted men
present will stand at attention, such posi
tion being retained until the last note of
"The Star 6pangled Banner. " The same
respect to be observed toward the national
air of any other country when It la played
us a compliment to official representatives.
Heretofore, when "The Star Spangled Ban
ned ' was being played officers, enlisted
men and others In the military service
were required to stand at attention and
salute with the hand until the last note of
"The Bar Suanvled Runner" vVii..h ap
peared to those not accustomed to thu
ruies oi me service very ridiculous, and
to those who are obliged to git through
the ceremony It seemed more ridiculous.
The change which has been made has
come about by so many complaints sub
mltled to the War department by many
officers of high rank, who ridiculed the
Idea of having to stand with the hand to
the bare head or visor of the cap during
the playing of "The Star Spangled Banner"
which occupied about one minute.

Fort Riley.
FORT RILEY, Jan. 4-(Speclal.l Prob
ably In the history of the organization
stationed at this post there have newr
been made as elaborate preparations for
Christmas day as were carried out this
year. A spirit of rivalry In this regard
seems to have been In the air on this oc
casion, and each troop and battery seems
to have tried to outdo each other In their
menus and dining room decorations. Plans
woro laid for weeks In advance and not a
few dollars and many scours were spent
In the decoration of the dining rooms. The
money spent for the dinners, decorations,
menus and sundries by the organizations
will easily run Into four figures. In the
evening several of the troops and batteries
held Impromptu entertainments, ici which
local talent acquitted Itself In a must cred
itable manner. Troop H. Seventh cavalry,
and Battery B, Sixth field artillery, are
said to have made the most elaborate
preparations for the occasion of any of the
organisations in the post. The rooms were
decorated with everereen, holly, mistletoe,
crepe paper and cotton, to give the effect
of snow. On the walla were hung flags,
sabers, cross guns, etc., and the corner of
B battery's dining room thev had
built an old-fashioned fireplace. The
colonel of the regiment stated that It was
the prettiest dining room he had ever seen
In the army. During the course of the
dinner the artillerymen were entertained
by one of their comrades, who rendered
some very popuar pieces on the battery
piano. Troop H of the Seventh had an
abundance of good things to eat and served
"Seventh cavalry punch." which la said to
have made every one foel happy. During
the evening they had several boxing bouts,
singing and dancing, speeches from several
of the members who are to be discharged
In the near future. The same decorations
were used for New Year's day, but the
menus were not as elaborate as those on
Christmas. The most novel menu cards
were those of Troop H. a postal card of
three folds, on the Inside of which was
the p'fture of their commanding officer.
Colonel F. K. Ward, the menu and the
rostor of the troop. On the outside of the
folder were the pictures of General Custer
and Comanche, the only horse which sur
vived the Custer massacre.
Nelson Perkins, a private of Troop M,
Tenth cavalry, stationed at Fort Riley,
Kan., waa apprehended at Sallna. Kan., a
distance of fifty miles from the post. Mon
day morning about 4 o'clock. He was
asked by the marshal where he was going
and stated "To Utah to Join his command.
The officer asked for his furlough and
this hi refused to show. He was immedi
ately handcuffed and searched for a gun.
but It waa not found, neither was the fur
lough. Perkins was sweated that afternoon
and confessed that he had deserted at Fort
Riley on Saturday and had walked to
Sallna. He stated to the officers that lie
was to have been tried on Monday by
general court-martial for trouble with an
officer. The authorities at the post were
notifed and he was brought to the post and
confined In the guard house. It Is believed
that the man Is mentally unbalanced, for
last Saturday morning be aiked tn have

FOWL-STOCK SHOW BIG HIT
Immense Exhibition at Aailltorlnm
Insares Repetition Next
Year.
Saturday evening ssw the close of the
third annual exhibition of the Trl-City
Poultry and Pet Stock association. It waa
the last given under that name, as tha
name of the association has been changed
to the Transmisslsslppl Poultry and Pet
Stock association. The third was by far
the most successful of all the exhibitions
given by the association. The first two
shows lost money, while the show Just
closed left a balance of several hundrel
dollars In the association treasury after
having paid up a deficit from last year.
"The smile that won't come off" was
apparent on the faces of all the directors
of the show as they watched the con
clave of people drill down the aisles be
tween the cages of birds. They took a
chance in spending big money to pull off
the show In Omaha, but the end has Justi
fied the means and the association is a
big wlnnef by having used the AudltorluTi.
The big building proved itself admirably
adapted to the use of a big show, and by
a Judicious use of space twice as many
coops mny be taken care of next year.
The campaign for next year's show
already Is on and the entries will not be
as slow In coming in next season aa thy
were this, as the exhibitors have found
what a splendid place Omaha and the
Auditorium Is for holding such a show.
The sales far exceeded the expectations
of all the exhibitors and all have gone
away happy.
Reputation Haa Gone Abroad.
That the reputation of the Trl-City Poul
try show has spread to all parts of the
country was demonstrated not only by
the entries which came from abroad, but
also from the dispatches being received
from distant points. Secretary Talbert
receivsd a telegram Saturday from one of
the largest poultry concerns in the east,
Instructing hltn to buy the winners In the
Rhode Island Red class, regardless of cost.
These larger concerns have the habit, of
buying the winning birds for their yards,
and then when buyers come around they
can point them out and say, "Here is the
prize winner from Nebraska," and thus
get the highest price for their eggs.
In response to a telegram from Washing
ton, D. C, Secretary Talbert of the Tri
Clty Poultry and Pet Stock association
bought the prize winning pen of Rhode
Island reds from Blxby A Blxby of Coun
cil Bluffs, paying $150 for the pen of
cockerel and four pullets.
F. F. Devore of Valley, the old time
bicycle rider who Is raising chickens as
a side Issue and who won tha fist prize
In tho barred Plymouth Rock class, sold
his prize winning pen Saturday morning
for 3140.

The YeLf 1908
WILL DE
Presidential Year
Every good citizen owes it
to himself and to the country
to keep well informed on the
political events which will cul
minate in the election of a
president, who will be charged
with the administration of the
national government for four
years.
Every good citizen owes it
to himself and to his country
to post himself about the can
didates competing for high po
litical preferment and about
the issues on which the great
parties will divide in order to
decide intelligently how to cast
his vote.
The preliminary skirmish
ing for the great political bat
tle of 1908 is already begun
and the position of the princi
pal participants is constantly
changing with new develop
ments nearly every day.
The big nominating con
ventions in prospect, particu
larly the republican national
convention which is to meet
in Chicago in June, promise to
be the most stirring and inter
esting gatherings of the kind
in the history of the country.
The moving panorama will
be vividly and accurately pic
tured in The Bee from day to
day the candidates will be
presented in . their own pro
nouncements and speeches
the issues will be discussed and
all the current political hap
penings will be chronicled as
they occur.
NEBRASKA
Politics in Nebraska prom
ise to be at a boiling point
throughout the year. The
Bee's special staff corres
pondent at Lincoln fur
nishes the political gossip
generated at the state capi
tal and special attention is
given to polities locally by
experienced political writers.
WASHINGTON
National politics center largely in the national capi
tol where the president and his advisers are at the helm of
the government and where congress is in session. The
political focal point is at the seat of government where
a staff correspondent of The Hee is on the lookout for
everything of keen interest to people of this section of
the west. .
CHICAGO AND DENVER
The Bee will have its own representatives on the spot
at both of the big nominating conventions and readers of
The Bee will get the best inside information of what U
done by the president makers and how it is done.

IOWA
Politics in Iowa are sure to
turn about the contest for
the senatorial succession as
well as about the presi
dency. A special staff cor
respondent at Des Moines is
charged with keeping read
ers of The Bee in touch with
all the political currents of
the llawkeye state.
