FREE QUARTERS FOR VETERANS
Business Mems Committee. After
Warm Debate. Solves Troublesome
Problem by Appropriation of
$4,000 to Provide Shelter.

The Grand Army of the Republic decid-
ed yesterday 10 hold its annual encamp-
ment in this city the week of October 6.
This agreement was reached only after a
heated debate between the executive com
mittee of the Grand Army of the Republic
and Mr.. Barry Buckley. secretary of the
Business Mems Association, and Mr.. b. II.
Warner, chairman OF the general commit
tee on arrangements for the entertain
ment of the veterans.
The executive committee had refused to
come to Washington ii the question of
free quarters for the needy veterans was
not decided in their favor. 1t was happily
solved by an appropriation of $4,000 by
the citizens committee for the free quar-
tering OF these men.
G.. 4. II. in Charge.
The Grand Army is to have entire con-
troll of this amount The responsibility CT
quartering the veterans will therefore rest
entirely with the men themselves. 1t is
understood that Quartermaster General
Charles Burrows, OF the G. A. r.. of Ruth
erford, y. J.. is TO have the details in
charge. He is 10 pass upon all a;'plica-
tions for such accommodations made by
the men.
Mr. Buckley and Mr.. Warner opposed
the granting of the privilege to build bar
racks and erect tents on the White Lot, as
was done ten years ago. When they pre-
scented their views on the subject and
their reasons. showing the expense of the
thing and the way in which they were
treated at the previous encampmcnt. the
executive committee sided with them and
decided that the appropriation of $4,000
would be harmonious solution OF the
difficulty.
by Unanimous Vote.
The selection OF Washington was a
unanimous one by the committee. Not one
dissenting voice was heard when the last
vote was taken

illustrate.
The Governor. of Arkansas has
pardoned a negro from a penitenti-
airy sentenced on condition that the
colored man goes to Massachusetts
TO live. In explanation Gov. Davis
says he has just returned from a
visit TO the Bay State, where he was

exhibited on behalf of the colored
race that he decided to send the
colored offender to Massachusetts,

II Kentucky rural correspon-

writes to the chief that the poultry
business is improving, which is
chiefly due to the women who
gather the eggs and pluck the
geese while the men are cunning for
each other and attending the trials
that follow the killings In the feuds.
Between hunting each other and
taking out cross-ties and lumber
the men have little leisure for
farming. Life is too strenuous In
Kentucky to permit of much time
to follow such thing. as bull

they are but two States OF mighty

The Editorial Association of
West Virginia Is not partisan OR
ganization, being composed as 1t is
of Republican and Democrat edi
tors. But 1t would seem that some
enterprising Republicans down at
Wheeling have invited all four Con.
gressmen, the two United States
Senators. and the Governor of the
State, to deliver addresses upon the
occasion of the meeting of the edi-
torial association this year. Gov
ernor White belongs to the asso-
citation and has been journalist by
profession. The invitation to him
would seem to be appropriate.
There Is no objection to the others
named being guests of either
Wheeling, or the association, or
both, this spring, but why not In
vite some notable Democrats also?
It Is especially remarkable that
these prominent Republican Office
holders and office seekers should
be invited at a time when nearly all
of them are anxious to get before
the public. We trust that there
was no partisan motive behind the
inviting of these men, but 1t looks
queer, to say the least. 1t will be
time enough to invite some Demo
crat orators also, and we think it
only fair to the Democrat editors
that they be permitted to hear
some of their own politicians, If
the association is to be the
occasion Of political harraague.
Why not invite some celebrated
Journalist to address the association?
Would that not be more appropri-
ate? There Is something so abso-
lutely Iudicrous In the suggestion
OF inviting Senator Scott to an as
sembly OF editors that we smile
when ever 1t occurs to us. With ali
due respect to the position he Is
trying to fill. 1t Is known far and
near to everybody that Senator
Scott can neither write or deliver
speech. Ia fact 1t is doubtful in
deed if he can write SIX correct
lines, were he unaided by ercyelo-
pedia or private secretary. Then
to have him set up before the news.
paper men of this State to "orate"
or read one of his typewriter
speeches, Is travesty. The news
paper fraternity of West Virginia
does not boast of superior intelli-
gence, but claims to know a thing
or two, and the members hardly
care to have politicians use their
association for political purposes.
Just have Scott's speech printed In
the minutes of the association, and
spare the editors and others from
having to listen TO 1t as read. IF
political orators are to entertain
the association. why not invite VIM.

HEALTH NOTES

Why all this talk about purity now
adays? Has everyone in the world
become health crank or has purity
become merely a talking point? ?
Soaps so 44-100 pure, breakfast
foods, wines and liquors and even
waters; oils and food stuffs of all
kinds are making strong point Of
purity; crackers are being sold in
original packages, milk in bottles,
time aud monev is being spent in
devising all kinds of package propo-
sitions. What does all this mean
what does it point to? Simply this:
That the people today are more inter-
ested in what they put into their
stomachs, what they wear, what they
wash with, what they drink and
breathe than ever before. Is the
microbe more rampant than in the
days of our grandfathers? Has he
been in cataleptic trance and begun
to wiggle all Of sudden No,
microbes are as old as nature, but in
these days of keen, fast living and
competition. people are realizing that
they must take care Of their health,
and it is subject that interests them.

to go back to the starting line and
