his intention to offer an amendment
to the Diplomatic and Consular APP
preparation bill, providing for the
payment of saSo, 900 to Liliuokalani,
formerly Queen of the Hawaiian

to be strongly opposed, as it should
be. The dusky ex queen has spent

ONLY A REGULAR.

When the president and his cabinet,
just after the Spanish war, were being
lionized on a southern tour, political
generals like Roosevelt of the north and
Wheeler of the south were introduced
to the %applauding thousands as war
heroes. Finally, on one occasion, a
bronzed veteran, every inch a soldier,
was dragged to the front and presented
as another wal hero" With a mod
esty seldom seen and a pathos that had
deep meaning this sturdy fighter said:
Il am not a war hero. I'm only a reg
ular.' 1t was General Lawton.
There has always been in this country
a half expressed popular idea that ouI
regulars are mere hirelings, who fight
not from love of country, but for pay
while our patriotic fighting is lone by
our volunteers alone. Thus when a
war is over there has been a feeling
that no particular debt of gratitude is
due to the regulars, as they have been
paid in cash the price they asked for
their services.
At the outbreak of the civil war it
was seriously proposed to use the reg
ulars solely for garrison duty, as they
could not. being hired soldiers, be re-
lied upon at the battles front. There
was some respect for the officers of the
regular army because they were edu-
Gated at West Point and they were
needed as officers of volunteers.
Yet the outcome of the wal covered
the regulars with imperishable glory.
On many a field the disciplined cour-
age of a few companies Of them saved
the day. While half of their officers
went with the south, on the ground
that state loyalty outranked national
loyalty, the rank and file to a man re-
, 1900-02-06

manned loyal to the flag they were
sworn to defend. In the Spanish war
they again did heroic service and ex-
allied themselves in the estimation of
the country. In fact in both wars the
regulars werp always and everywhere
equal to the flower of the volunteers.
While u volunteers in the civil war
fought for their country and not for
pay, the fact remains that they receiv-
ed more pay than the regulars of any
nation in any war. In wages, supplies,
bounties and pensions they were COM
pensated generously. At Valley Forge
men who had fought for years without
pay marched CT with bleeding feet over
frozen ground. Indeed, the soldiers of
the confederacy fought for a mistaken
cause without pay. 1t is the spirit OF
war, the sentiment of patriotism, that
urges men, with or without pay, to
charge the lannon's dreaded mouth

CARBON COUNTY WOOL GROWERS

The sheep men of Carbon county, at
their meeting in Rawlins last Thurs
day, passed a resolution in opposition
to the leasing system. They also pass
ed a resolution declaring that the reel
procity treaty with the Argentine Re-
public, which provides that there shall
be a 20 per cent reduction of the i'm
port duty on raw wool II hides, will
be extremely detrimental to the wool
interests of Wyoming, for the follow
ing reasons
/. That the woods grown in the Ar
gentine Republic are the chief COM
petitors of Wyoming woods.
9. That the Argentine Republic pro-
duces annually 500, 900 900 pounds of
wool, or nearly twice as much as the
annual product of the United States.
3. That the Argentine Republic Is
the second country in the world in
point of wool production and that its
output is rapidly increasing.
a. That the proposed reduction is
antagonistic to the st, Louis platform
(republican) which guaranteed protec-
ton to the wool interests of the United
States.
5. That should the reduction of 20
per cent of import duty be granted to
the Argentine Republic it will establish
a precedent which all other nations
(friendly) will claim.
Following is the resolution adopted
in opposition to the leasing system:
THAT the members of this associa-
ton do hereby endorse the petition
heretofore circulated and signed by the
wool growers and business men engaged
in Rawlins and vicinity, addressed tc
our delegation in congress, and our
governor, in opposition to any further
public land being coded the state and
against the present system OF leasing
state land, on the ground that such
system tends to build up a monopoly
of said lands in the hands of a few
wealthy individuals and corporations
against the interests of the great ma
jority of wool growers of Carbon coun
ty and of the state of Wyoming"
The proposed Medicine Bow forest re
serve was also taken up and discuss
ed. 1t was ordered that a resolution
be drafted by the president and secre'
tary asking that when the reserve i:
established a clause be inserted in the
order directing that stock of all kind:
be permitted to Craze therein.
1t is stated that Carbon county will
this year market 1000, 900 pounds o
wool. Every sheepman present at thu
meeting signed an agreement to frs
offer his wool on the sealed bid plan.
Forty-four fockmasters were in attend
ance at the meeting.

AN EXPERT ACCOUNTANT,
Tells How to Check Up Books Which
Have Snarls in Them.

How does an expert accountant go
about it to discover falsifications in a
set of books?" was asked of Mr.. Hor-
ace c. Burr, the expert who has I'M
raveled some of the most intricate
cases in Omaha and Nebraska, in re-
cent years.
There are no rules" Mr.. Burr re-
piled, land it would be as difficult to
explain the process, so hat the public
would understand, as it would be for a
lawyer to give one general rule or ex
PLANTATION of how to conduct a law
case. His mode would differ with ev
cry case, and it is the same with an
expert accountant. There are many
ways of f%alsifying accounts and he
must have a different way of detecting
each.
THE expert accountant, however
must be so well posted in all kinds of
business than he can detect crooked
ness almost at a glance.
In a general way | might define the
system as one Of close and careful
checking of accounts. Each item is
checked on the various books and each
one verified. Many a time an error
will be found which is merely clerical.
When this is the case we soon come to
another entry which shows this to be
the case"

deliberate fasifcation?"
Always. 1t seems a dispensation OF
providence that when a man starts Out
to be a thief, he always leaves traces OF
his guilt by which he can be tracked
as easily as the Indian can find a trail
across the prairies. A white man
might not be able to do it, neither
could any but an expert, perhaps, fine
these races of guilt. But no man evel
steals without leaving them. Many
times, however, the expert finds thai

would enter the $50 and drop the 5000.
There are many ways in which
books may be falsified. One case
might mention is that of an agent for
a foreign firm who speculated with the
firms money and entered the trans
actions on his personal account. OF
course when the expert began looking
over the books he found them. An
other made false entries of sales,
charged to his own use large suns of
money and credited to himself large
expense accounts, so that in a year or
so he had depleted the capital stock
one-half. AS soon as the expert came
and investigated the entries of ficti-
cious sales it was discovered that they
were fictitious.
while or this work l also caught
the cashier in a defalcation of several
hundred dollars. He was allowed to
draw checks and l proved the case
against him by securing the checks.
Many persons come to us to look
wei Z ooh In oGS IL lHC az
counts are right. They do not suspect
anything wrong, merely wish to be sat
isted that everything is right. One
man came to me and said that since
their last balance was struck the firm
had lost $4,000, and he wanted to find
out who had it. l went over his books
and found nc money had been lost.
There had just been a mistake in book
keeping.
What salary does an expert ac-
countant receive?
MY charges were $40 a day, but
where large sums are involved a con-
tract is generally entered into be-
tween the expert and his client. l
had a funny thing happen one day as
| vas standing at Sixteenth and Far
nam waiting for a car. A business
man came up and asked If l was busy.
| replied that l was, but that l always
found time for work some way. He
told me of some intricate business he
had for an expert accountant, and end
ed by saying:
81 will let o do that, and l am
willing to pay you $3.50 a day
Il replied that l did not believe l had
time for it, and as my charges were $40
a day | would not care to work for 25
per cent. He went away in a hurry.
But the wages of ar expert are not
large in the west, for the reason that
every ~bookkeeper out of work sets up
as an expert.
"One of the slickest pieces Of fraud
which has come to my knowledge hap
pened in Chicago. A business man took
a boy out of the gutter, brought him up
and eventually made him his confden-
tial man. The confidential man got to
specializing on the board of trade
through a broker. When he went to
bank with say $3.50 he would depos-
it the $3.50 and play the $4,000. Then
before the bank book was returned he
inserted the 5 before the $50 SO that the
bookkeeper found no trace Of it. This
went along for a month, during which
time he got away with between $50, 900
and $4,000. When the bank book was
sent in to the bank to be written up
he scratched out the figures he had
written in and so it tailed with the
banks account. Then before 1t was re-
turned to his firm he skipped the
