WANT LARGE ARMY.
Military Committee Will Recommend
Enlisting 100000 Men
FOR SERVICE IN THE PHILIPPINES,
Chairman Hull Calls a Meeting of the
house Committee on Military Af-
fairs to Consider the Army Eli.

Washington, D. g., Special.-Chair-
man Hull, of the house committee on
military affairs, called a meeting OF
the committee for next Tuesday. He
hopes that a quorum will be present
and that the committee can go to
work Immediately on the outlines Of a
new army bill.
1T will be in the direction OF econ
omy to pass the army bill without
delay" said Mr.. Hull. "The army
now in the Philippines will have to
be brought home in the summer, that
is those of the men who do not care
to reenlist. The transports which go
out for them should depart laden with
the troops who are to replace them,
else the ships will make one voyage
empty"
Mr.. Hull was in conference with the
President, and with officials OF the
War Department upon the character
of legislation desired by the admins
tration. He said the President would
communicate to Congress very fully
his recommendations about the army
and he did not assume to speak the
Presidents mind in advance. He
thought, however, that the admins
tration would not be content with any
makeshnt legislation, no proposition
to continue the present law for two
years more. His impression was that
the President wanted authority to
raise a regular army sufficient for the
needs OF the country, 100000 men II
necessary, the number to be reduced
when there was no longer need for
them
Mr. Hull said the Taft commission
had reported that $4,000 Filipino7
could be enlisted Immediately in the
army for the Philippines and that
they would make good soldiers unde7
American officers. There was no fea1
of a repetition OF Great Britain's ex]
perience with the Sepoys, for the Fill
pinos, Mr.. Hull said, have no nationa4
feeling, like the natives OF India
Moreover, added Mr.. Hull, the expert
ment of enlisting native troops has
proven successful, and there are ~
more loyal or efficient soldiers

army in India.

Thirty years ago an attempt was
made to introduce petroleum as fuel,
especially in iron and steel mills; but
there was difficulty in getting the
proper furnace. Now il is announced
that the Russians have abandoned the
effort TO atomiZe the oil by y steam
Jet, having produced 4 perfect COM
buStive system in which the oil IS
vaDorized by hot wafer under pressure.
AS n consequence of this Improvement
the use of liquid fuel in Russia has
enormously increased, over seven
million tons Of petroleum products
having been used last year TO generate
power. Steamship companies in Asia
tic waters have equipped their ships
for the consumption Of liquid fuel, and
have established supply stations be-
tween Suez and Yokohama to which
the oil is carried by freighters with
a capacity of 5000 gallons each. Sew
sral European naval vessels have been
fitted with furnaces for oil, which
many regard as the fuel of the future

Under the new constitution
justice of the peace must be free
holder. When it Is known that this
qualification is not required of the
chief justice of the supreme court,
this provision of our organic law
seems somewhat inconsistent. Ac,
No. I55 of 1898 provides "that
justices of the peace shall be able
to read and write the English lam
guage correctly" A certificate
testifying to the fact that the justice
possesses the latter qualificat alton
must be signed by the board of
school examiners. This, however,
should not disturb those of our
citizens who desire to serve their
country in the capacity of justice of
the peace. 1t is hardly probable
that the words ssshall be able to
read and write the English language
correctly" will be construed to mean
that the justice must be able to
write without making any gramma.

THE DUTY or THE Potter.

1t is clearly the duty of the men
who voted at the primaries last
December to vote the Democratic
ticket on the 18th of next month.
We take it that those who ac-
cepted the invitation to vote at the
primary election understood what il
meant. 1t was simply and purely
contract which imposed certain
obliga tons upon every one who was
a party to it.
No one was compelled to part,
cipate IN the primary. The voter
decided for himself whether or not
he would take part in it. He knew
what was expected of him and he
knew that if he intended not to
abide by the results he should have
kept away from the polls.
The Gazette does not think that
any considerable number of the
voters of this parish will be deceived
BY the cry of fraud which has been
| raised by the enemies of the Demo
cratic party. The primaries were
conducted with absolute fairness to-
ward all parties. All the candidates
were honestly treated. There was
nothing unfair about it. 1t is easy
to. charge fraud. Fraud is the
eternal cry of boilers who refuse te
submit to the decision of tn,
majority.
The voter who participated in tn
December primaries has a duty t.
perform and he should not permi
designing leaders. of the Republican
party t. lead him astray. He i
IN honor bound to accept the yer
dict of the majority of his party
even though the ticket nominated
is not of his choice. Those VIII
advise him to disregard his pledg
insult him. If man is not boun,
by a primary he can not be held b.
any agreement between man an,
man.
II is useless to say more on thi
subject. The voter who appreciate
the meaning of the pledge, implied
or expressed, by participating in
!. primary needs no advice, while t
: speak to the fellow who does no
feel the weight of a moral obliga
: ton is a waste of time.

MIR. .SHOZARS PRED/CA-
MENZ,

Mr.. Sholars, who has been talk
ing so much about s'Fosterism,"
was an applicant for Office under
this present administration. 1t has
transpired that this most fierce
bowler for reform wanted to be
State bank examiner and applied to
Gov. Foster for that position. And
failing to get the appointment he
has found 1t incumbent upon him
to charge Gov. Foster with all
kinds of corruption. Mr.. Sholars
had an unqvestioned right to OPP
p,se Gov. Foster and he had also
the right to ask to be appointed to
Office by the governor, but if he
had been sincere in his allegations
Of fraud he would have been IN
willing to form part of an admins
tra,ion which he contended had no
just claim to existence. MIR. Sholars
has repeatedly charged that Gov.
Foster was not elected. There isn't
a Republican in this State who has
attacked the State administration
with more virulence than has Mr..
Sholars. And yet we find him an
applicant for office under this self
same administration.
If Mr.. Sholars knew that Gov.
Foster was not elected, he should
not have applied to him for an
office. Knowing, as he pretended
|
counted in he should not have ex-
pressed desire to be one of the
| benefciaries of the alleged fraud.
That is not the way for an honest
| m an and reformer to do.
Had Gov. Foster appointed Mr..
Sholars to the office of bank exam
liner is it possible that he would be
stamping the State to-day in the
interest of the Republican party7
! If Mr.. Sholars had become a par,
of the administration as he wanted
20 dc, he would hardly be engaged
to-day in telling the people that the
administl alton was the creature OF
fraud and that he was an unprotest.
ing recipient of some of the booty.
Mr.. Sholars has placed himself il
a very unenviable predicament. He
has, in the language of the Boston
} ian, s.deposited himself into a cav
