thereafter deserted and was sentenced To
eighteen months Imprisonment. i let
ter from the Acting Secretary 0f War
yesterday Informed the mayor that the lad
would haveto serve out his sentence.
This led the mayor to declare "a man
ought TO be allowed to resign from the
United States army at any time be wished
They let other government employees
resign at will,'' said he; why should not
a soldier have that privilege Ill tine OF
peace? 1t would be better fer the army.
The number OF would-bc recruits now far
exceeds the demand.
Reduce the time of service to one year
and allow the men to resign when they
wish. That would not destroy the dis
cipline of the army, more persons would
receive military training and the mil
lions Of dollars spent on military Prisons
could he used for another purpose, for
under those circumstances there would
not be any desertions from the army"

GENERAL SPORTING NOTES.

The prospects for n first Glass freshman
crew Z / the University oi Pennsylvania Were
never brighter. Sucn Il number OF caadi-
dates never turned out before at PennSyl-
vania to try for any crew as came forward
yesterday as candidates for the freshman
varsity crew. Forty-ihree men ha nded in
their names to Capt. Bull of the varsity
crew and thus sbowed their Willingness
and eagcrness to represent their college on
the water. The ma jority of the men seemed
to be finely built fellows. and a firsl class
crew ought to be picked from them. Some
OF them ire already first-clas> GA TSnien. but
the ina jority are comparatively new to the
art. Ii is a question 10 which class the pref
ercncc ought to be given. Those who have
already rowed will have some advantages.
but they Will be handicapped by learning
Il new stroke. Sometimes ii is nearly i'm
possible for some men Ia change their
stroke. The other class will not be han,li-
capped this way. They. however, will nof
only have to be taught new stroke. but
the very rudiments of the art.

Early Bible Printing In This Country.

The history of Bible publishing in
America discloses tie fact that Phila-
dclphia has played most important
part in this branch of bookmaking The
first Hebrew Bible published in this
country was printed by William Fry Of
Philadelphia in 1914. This was the sec
ond American book in Hebrew charac-
tiers, the press of Harvard college hav.
ing issued in 1909 an edition of the
Psalms. The Sauer Bible, of which re-
prints are still in existence, was printed
in Germantown in l7I3, and the first
Douay Bible reprinted in America WAS
published in Philadelphia in 1870. -

A Celebrated Beat.

There was once celebrated Bohe
milan named Bart who prided himself
on never paying any bills One of the
least striking of his financial feats was
once when he happened TO DO hung
up" in hotel without the wherewithal
TO settle. He left behind him a heavy
trunk. telling the landlord that he
would soon return. When u number Of
days had gone by and Bart did not re.
appear, the landlord went up to examine
the priceless Golfer which his guest had
left behind him and was much amazed
at the weight Of it. The most muscular
porters could not lift it. Therefore they
broke it open TO sec what was inside,
and when they opened it they found
nothing, for Bart had simply nailed it
to the floor
But the achievement on which he
most prided himself was once when he
was in strange city for several days
He wanted new pair of boots So lie
went TO shoemaker and ordered a
pair, giving minns directions as TO
their style. From this cordwainer he
went to another some squares away and
gave him similar order, couchcd in
exactly the same language He made
both shoemakers promise to finish the
shoes in two days. At the expiration of
the allotted time both pairs were done
Bart tried on the first pair and said to
shoemaker No. / that the left fitted him
perfectly, but that the right pinchcd
him. asking him TO stretch it. which
the shoemaker promised to do. and Bart
carried off the left boot He then went
to shoemaker No 2 and tried ON the
second pair, telling him that while tho
right boot fitted him perfectly the left
pinched him, and requested him TO
stretch it, and he would call for it in an
hour. 1t was done. Bart then took the
two halves of his two pairs of shoes,
put them ON his feet and silently stole
away. San Francisco Argonaut

Congressman J. w. Babcock, to
w. G. Palmer of Boscobel, from
Lucerne, Switzerland:
81 have spent some time in
GRANGE and Italy and go back to
Paris in few days; and l can as
sure you that ! shall return home
ten times more an American and a
Republican than when l left there.
Knowing that our institutions are
so much better, so far in advance
of anything here, | can never again
listen to criticisms of our country,
its laws or its methods with any
degree Of patience. We don't
know what poverty Or ignorance
is, nor have we the slightest idea
of the heavy burdens Of taxation.
A farmer cannot take produce of
any kind-eggs, poultry or cheese
into a town or city to sell with
out passing through a custom
house and paying duty on the
same. While at Naples we were
told not to take a lunch with US
when we went to visit Vesuvius
and Pompeii from our hotel, be-
cause we had to pass through four
small towns, each of which had its
custom officers, and we would be
called upon to pay a tax at each
place. The guide books even adj
wise us to go without lunches to
avoid trouble What would your
farmers say to that if they were
compelled to pass custom house
before coming into Boscobel? At
Florence they told me that the
earthquake was good thing for
the carpenters and masons, as
there were $500 buildings (all
stone) damaged, and they had
plenty Of work and good pay
masons AZ franc go cents), tend
ers 21a francs 80 cents per day
and carpenters 3 to AZ francs. At
Venice l found young women
working for II cents per day max

reach the age of IS or p they are
obliged to give it up and seek
other employment. These are but

hours and tell of the struggle for
bread in Italy and France. [
could tell you how they live in
many places more like beasts than
human beings, but | won't take
your time further, only to say that

that gloomy forecast was made.
The silverites have been beaten in
every State in which a contest has
been made. Both parties are tell
ing the silver vote that they do not
want it if its acquisition necessi-
tates the slightest surrender to the

In the general business field the
Improvement which began two or
three months ago is we'll main
tanned. Railroad earnings and
bank clearings, which are the most
familiar and reliable Of trade indi-
Gators, continue to show great
gains as compared with the same
time a year ago. The financial
papers still show long lists of bus
mess concerns which are making
voluntary advances in wages.
Fewer labor disturbances Of any
sort are under way than were
known at this season for many
years past. The crop outlook
continues favorable. While the
wheat yield will not be beyond the
average Of recent years, corn
promises to reach the highest
figures ever touched. Stocks and
bonds command higher prices than
have been known since early in
1898, labor is fully employed at,
in most cases, the wages which
prevailed before the panic, and the
aggregate output of the great pro-
ductive activities of the country is
closely approaching the highest
level of the past.

There is a good deal of force in
the idea advanced by the Apple
ton Post that Governor Upham
should have refused to sign the
Deep Waterways bill if he regard
ed it a bad law, rather than to be
beating about the bush with it
after it found place in the statutes
Undesirable as the law is it is very
questionable morals for the press
of the state to ask the governor to
ignore it. 1t is the province of
law breakers to ignore law and
not that of executives.

A VICTORY FOR PROTECTION.

The Cleveland Leader is prob
ably right in its conclusion that
"the wiping of the income tax law
from the statute books is one of
the greatest victories for Protection
(high tariff that has been won
since the first Republican Tariff
Law was enacted s. years ago
The Chicago Inter-Ocean IS of the
same opinion. THAT decision" it
says, with its overwhelming
rcbuke of direct taxation by the
general Government, was a great
victory for Protection and has
put Congress in the position where
it can and should revise the Tariff
And the Minneapolis Journal says
the defeat of the tax removes all
question as to the necessity of
revising the Tariff.
There is no question about the
necessity of raising more revenue
for the Federal Government. The
excess of expenses over receipts
for the fiscal year ending June 50
next will exceed S5o,ooo,ooo, and
the deficit under the operation of
the existing Tariff and excise
taxes will probable continue to be
considerable for a long time to
come. The next Congress must
therefore take up the matter of
providing not only revenue enough
to meet current expenses, but
enough in addition to provide for
the purchase from year to year Of
some measure of the public debt
outstanding, which has lately been
increased Springfield, Mass,
