Senator Cumiai' Conclusion.
After cogitating for more than
two months, Senator Cummins an
Bounces his conclusion to support
Roosevelt Instead of Taft for presl
dent, at the same time instating that
he ,will remain in the republican
party ,and that he is impelled to his
party, and that he is Impelled to his
the only way to save the republican
party.
The right of Senator Cummins, as
of every other man, to cast a free
and untrammeled ballot is not ques
tioned, but how he can profess, a
purpose to save the republican party
by supporting and voting for the one
candidate whose avowed object is to
destroy the republican party Is diffi
cult to understand. Moreover, Sen
ator Cummins' qualms of conscience
about the Chicago convention are
decidedly belated. Ten of the dele
gates from Iowa were Instructed for
Cummins, and were subject to his
orders at every turn. Through them
he recognized the legality and valid
ity of all the acts of that convention.
Their Votes were recorded on the
'adoption of the platform. Senator
Cummins was voted for with his con
sent and by his desire in that conven
tion as a candidate for president, and
the ten Cummins voted were cast for
Senator , Borah for vice president.
He and his delegates participated in
that convention to the end. It Is a
little late therefore for the Iowa sen
ator to question the integrity of a
convention, whose nomination he
sought and was eager to accept.

Beauties of long Distance Debate.
Instead of going upon the hust
ings and having it out face to face,
or resorting to coffee and pistols for
two, the little controversy between
two distinguished citizens of Ne
braska, aspiring to the highest ex
ecutive office in the state, threatens
to degenerate into a long distance
debate with typewritten fulmlnatlons
and bizarre extracts from the dic
tionary for ammunition. .
It goes without saying that this
sort of debate is much cheaper than
hiring hails and engaging brass
bands because it presumes upon the
newspapers to furnish free space In
their columns, and even to pay the
postage for distribution to their sub
scribers. The long distance debate
is also less wearing upon the com
batants, enabling them to find mean
things to say about one another with
out risk of over-statement in the ex
citement of a heated moment. Long
distance debate, however, has one
big advantage In that no one is under
obligation of politeness to stay
through the performance.

Refinement of Distinction.
It is admitted that the "greatest
value ' of our - quadrennial recurring
presidential contests lies In the ac
companying campaign of education.
People otherwise obtuse cannot help
but learn things of importance, in
the heat Of political controversy.
The colonel explained to us a little
while ago, to hte own perfect satis
faction, that the practical politician
usually relied on to. deliver the
goods is an odious "boss" inspired
by mercenary motives when opposed
to his third-term candidacy and pro
gram, but becomes a patriotic
"leader" working solely for the pub
lic good when he enlists under the
bull moose banner.
Now we have another refinement
of distinction,, which is equally
elucidating and , Illuminating. When
ever rich men interested in a law
leas corporation , or law-defying
trust contribute money to the cam
paign fund of a "reactionary" party,
it is for the sordid purpose of get
ting special favors or valuable
privileges In return, whereas putting
the money into the "progressive"
campaign fund makes them "ideal
lets" who "give generously, and!
without thought of personal re
turn." ) Y-." ': '
It is well to get these, differences
clear In our mind at the outset, so
as to avoid possibility of misconcep
tion or confusion.
Governor Aldrich refers to the ut
terances of his democratic competl
tor as "slop." We know of Just one

recess commlskions have been issued to
these officers, ' A recess commission as

issued also to General J.. B. Aleshlre, for

D?farhd Service. -
T',. .', in the army appropriation
act relating to detached service Is very
..,-. u en mote far-reaching
than the amendment suggested by the
senate or the original clause passed by
the house. The new law requires actual
service for at least two of the last pre
ceding six years with a troop, battery,
or company In that branch of the army
In which an officer shall hold a commis
sion for any officer below the grade of
major assigned to detacheu duty. A pen
alty of forfeiture of pay and allowances
is Imposed upon any superior who fails
to carry out the law. During the two
years' service the officer must be "ac
tually present for duty," and. of course,
leaves of absence under such circum
stances, sick or otherwise, will not count
as service. A few exceptions ara made
which meet some of the objections of the
president to the clause in the first bill.
After the first army bill was vetoed a
general order was issued from the War
department covering the question of de
tached service.
Ittw Quartermaster Corps.
Major General Aleshlre, chief of the
new quartermaster corps, created by the
army appropriation act already has
taken preliminary steps toward organi
zation of the corps from the former
quartermaster, subsistence 'and pay de
partments. A tentative outline of the
organization has been prepared. This
contemplates four main divisions in the
office of the chief of the corps namely.
accounting division, supplies division, - t . , ... .c-demy
construction and repair division and " ' 1 Thomas H.
transportation division, each with an of
fleer at its head. In addition there will
be an administrative division, with which
wtll be affiliated the chief clerk of the
office of the chief of the quartermaster
corps. While much depends upon the
wishes of those officers. It is likely that
Brigadier General George R. Smith, for
merly paymaster general, will be placed
at the head of the accounting division,
and Brigadier General Henry G. Sharps,
formerly commissary general, at the head
of the supplies division.
Soldiers as Stevedores.
As a result of the regular Inspection
at Fort St. Michael. Alaska, last year,
the attention of the War department was
called to the fact that soldiers ware at
times employed as stevedores, working
out of regular hours. This is contrary
to army regulations, but it was explained
to the officers making the inspection that
it was difficult to find civilians at that
place to do the necessary work. The
particular case reported to the War de
partment was one In which a large as
signments of stores was received and It
was Impossible to get civilian help to
properly dispose of it. The sum of $300
was disbursed among the soldiers for
extra labor in taking care of the stores
and It was held a necessity and entirely
In the interests of- the government that
It be done. . The act of May 1, 1884, makes
an exception only in case of certain
emergency involving loss of life or de
struction of public property. While the.
employment of soldiers at Fort St' Mi
chael might be considered a technical
violation it is held that it la entirely
proper to protect government property,
and the action of the commanding of
ficer under the circumstances has been
approved.
National Cemetery Inscription.
The military authorities disapprove of
the provisions of Joint resolution (H. J.
Res. '571) directing the secretary of war
to permit to be Inscribed on monuments
and markers in the national cemeteries
the emblems or lnslgnlas of fraternal or
other secret societies of which the de
ceased person was a member at the time
of his death. It Is understood that the
responsibility for this resolution rests
with those who ext interested in a promi
nent secret order and who evidently over
look the fact that the general terms of
the resolution would permit the Inscrip
tions of all sorts of societies which couvj
within the terms "fraternal" and "secret.
The present regulations respecting this
subiect ara liberal and wee adopted after
due consideration and much experience
with those who wished to have some de
parture, in greater or less variation, from
the nreserlbed legend. It is eminently
proper that the inscriptions should be re
stricted, as they are. to the name, ranis
and military or naval service of the
decedent In accordance with the records
of the War and Navy departments; the
dates of birth and death: a brief Biblical
quotation or term of endearment in Eng
lish not to exceed two Unes; the iname ana
dates of birth and death of the wife, and,
If desired, the places of birth and death
of the officer, or soldier. Corps badges
and Insignia of military organlzfttions
uch as the Loyal Legion, Grand Army
of the Republic, eta-also are permitted
when membership therein is estahlisnea
by proper records. It is necessary to draw
the line there, and for this reason the
proposed legislation engages the disap
proval of the War department.

BATTLE OF POET NELSON
The battle of Port Nelson, fought J15
years ago today September 4, 1697 was
as heroic a niece of work a Is to be
found in all the annals of war, and on
that account Its story will live through
out th. (fenerations, for real heroism is
something that mankind will admire to
the end of time.
After the great Frontenac had smashed
the English power at Quebec, France sent
out some men-of-war to be placed under
command of Iberville at Placenta, New
foundland, whence he was to proceed to
Hudson Bay for the purpose of clearing
out the English rule In that region,
in his H-rahlD. the Pelican, attended
by four other ships, Iberville reached the
west end of Hudson Straits about th
first of August where, for nearly three
weeks, -be was at the mercy of the Ice
drive and so completely enveloped in fog
as to ba unable to obtain a glimpse of
anything beyond the deck of his own
ship.
When the fog lifted Iberville saw, to
his consternation, that his other vessels
bad disappeared and that he was in close
proximity to three powerful British frig
ates, the Hampshire, the Deertng and the
Hudson Bay. A lane of water Was open
before him and the Pelican sped away like
a bird, v"-
On September i as he lay off Port Nel
son, on the western side of Hudson Bay,
he saw three sails beating down upon
him. He thought they were his own but
soon learned that they were the Engllah
frltfatea that he had eeen In the straits.'
They made straight for him and the bat
tle began. :

many more were on shore, leaving him.

but one hundred and forty fighting men.
The odds were three to one and for foui
hours the battle raged. The decks of the
Pelican were cut Into kindling wood,
forty of her men were mowed down at
one blast from the British musketry. It
turned bitterly cold, the blood on the
decks became ice and each roll Of the
sea sent the wounded and dead rolling
from rail to rail. But the Frenchman
fought on. . - ,
Presently a wild scream rent the air,
and the English flagship, 'the Hampshire,
with two hundred and fifty men, sank
"swift as lead amid the hiss of flames
into the roaring sea." Upon this the
Hudson Bay' surrendered, the Deertng
took to her heel and ran away and Iber
ville was victor In one , of the hottest
contests that ever took place upon land
or sea. If Iberville and John Paul Jones
had ever run across each other In thr
Elyslan Fields we may be sure that tht
first Vhtng they did was to talk of tht
Pelican's fight at Port Nelson and that
of the Bon Homme Richard off Flam
borough Head twin victories in couragt
and glory.
Immediately after his victory Ibervillo
steered for land. and. despite the founder
ing of his ship, succeeded in getting
ashore and capturing the fort at Port
Kelson, thus endjng for the time be
ing, the rule of the English in the Hud
son Bay region.
The gallant Iberville, after his brilliant
work In Louisiana and along the Mlsslss.
ippi, which brought him a aeignory and
many honors, died at Havana of yellow
fever In 1T0H while still In the prime of
his splendid manhood.

qualities are even greater than the
statesmanlike qualities of Abe Lincoln

10, THE POOR ROOSEVELT.
Chicago Inter Ocean.
Lo, the poor Roosevelt, whose untutored
mind '
No hint of Archbold In his gift could
find!
Who saw the funds arrive, in sums im
mense. And didn't think to ask or "why?" or
"whence?"
Who never dreamed the givers of this
wealth '
Were not in business solely for their
health. '
Or that their parting with their ample
' store
Was not inspired by love of Theodore! .
A hundred thousand came? He thought:
"This comes
From some unknown admirer In the
alums;
Some humble wight who, toiling day by
day, -
Has saved this contribution from his
pay!"
Another check arrived of equal st-e?
He said: . "It brings th tears into mine
eye!
Some seamstress plain has sent this
royal gift.
Or ele sonic newsboy gives the cause a
lift; .
Or stay! perhaps soma cobbler cobbled
late
To help the campaign with this largess
great;
Or 'twas a "cabby" full of honest seal.
Who sent this coin his country's ills to
heal!
Let plutocratic gifts the rest allure.
Give me the simple offerings of the
poor!"
-.;
And ye, sophisticated ones, who smile
At thought of simple Roosevelt's lack
of guile.
Wise in the devious ways of modern
trade,
And prone to call a cpade a simple spade.
Bethink you if, with long experience
wise,
You could a more effective plan devise!
He gets the money and escapes th
blame;
He earns the triumph, yet avoids the
. ahame;
He handles pitch, remaining undefiled;
He plays the "artful," yet preserves the
child.
Say, could you beat it you and all your
peers?
The answer's plain: "Not in a thou
sand years!"
