Wsb HiHangnn'n Own story Of How He
Uttered the Famous Remark.
Flanagan, Of Texas" is the name
that always brings up famous ques-
tion-"WhAt are we here for?"
Whether in New York, Chicago or San
Francisco, that name on the hotel
register always brings crowd Of peo-
pie to see the man who originated one
Of the most famous phrases in Ameri-
fcan politics The sentence has gone
into history and become part Of 1t. 1t
WINS one of the memorable incidents Of
one of the most memorable conventions
that ever assembled in America, the
Chicago national republican convention
which defeated Grant and nominated
Garfield. Ever since then somebody in
every convention, large or small, has
arisen to ask: .What are wehere for?'
Web Flanagan, of Henderson, RusS
county, Texas, is the man who said 1t
first Of all. To . writer for the Calves

told the story Of the phrase. This is

RULER or THE NAVY.
Secretary Herbert Has Powers Viii
Cannot be Galnaaid.

Secretary Herbert Has Pswess which
Cannot Be Gainsaid.
'sThere is one man In the United
States who has more power than the
president and all the federal courts
combined = said naval officer recent
ly. ''The secretary Of the navy is the
man. His power over officers Of the
navy is antocratic. He can without
the aid of q court fine anofficer all the
way from four hundred to four thou-
sand year, according to his rank. and
simply to it the whim of the secreta-
ry. Unlike officers Of the army, off,
GERS in the navy are not paid uniforfa
and fixed compensation. In the army
the salary Of an officer is fixed by law,
and no one, not even the president.
can deduct cent from that pay with
out courtrmartial. In the navy there
are three regular grades Of pay. In
the case of rear admiral, which Is
the highest rank in the navy, the pay
at sea is six thousand dollars. On
shore duty this is reduced to FIVE thou
sand dollars, while II the officer Ia on
leave Of absence or waiting orders
this is reduced to four thousand dollars
Now suppose rear admiral is or
dered to the command Of the feet In the
North Atlantic. The secretary Of the
navy proposes to visit the feet. He is
received on board the flagship with all
the honors due his station, and the adj
miral does his best In the way Of enter
tainment. Suppose again, when the
secretary sits down to dine At the ad-
miral's table he finds that cheap
brand of American wine is served In
stead Of his accustomed Chateau
Yquem. The secretary determines to
resent this indignity. He goes ashore
and decides to relieve an admiral who
knows nothing Of the first principles Of
hospitality. He issues an ,order de-
taching the admiral and placing him

their pay cut from two thousand sis
hundred dollars TO nine hundred dol
lars by secretary who had grudge.'

for which he was expected to pay. The

upon the wharf we were surrounded
