a land where man is more and class

In the United States every one
starts with better chance. Educa-
tion is a reality. Children are kept at
school until 16 or even IS. The stand

houses. Better taught, better fed ana
better housed, they start with goou

brothers. Such a handicap is easily
maintained. Better conditions OF life

Dennis FLYNN. Fish Warden.

Many we'll informed people be
iieve that since the Hon. Dennis
FLYNN retired from congress he is
a statesman out of a job, but such
is not the fact. Mr.. Flynn is fish
warden of Beaver county, lately
appointed to this responsible pos

yer county is that portion Of Okla
homa which lies in Texas. 1t is
bounded on the east by Woodward
comfy. on the south by the stak-
cd plains, on the north by Kan

by New Mexico. This western
impinqement joins all the unad-
mitted territories together with a
straight stretch from the 95th to
the 115th degree Of longitude OF
over /, 900 miles, and perhaps sug-
gested to Mr.. Flynn the idea OF
embracing all their claims for ad-
mission into the Union in his
famous instrument called the om

by the London Times today, makes as
founding revelations regarding the bar
barious system prevailing among the

colonel of one battalion has been in the
habit of handing over offending officers
to the senior subaltern, the latter sum-
mons court-martial, at which the at
tendance of all the subalterns is eXacteG,
and the sentence is almast invariably
flogging. This is administered on the
bare back after the removal of all the
clothing and from six to forty blows
with a cane are given with such severity
that the lower number is sufficient to
draw blood.E All the officers present,
even the jr.ost intimate friends of the
victim, are compelled to administer their
share OF blows.
The admiral cites the instance OF &
yoTng officer who tainted after receiving
forty strokes, and he also refers to the
case of his own nephew, who is not
named, but who clearly is Captain
Leveson Cover, who for an unintentional
military fault, was tried and logged.
Subsequently, according to Admiral
Cochrane, his nephew was punished with
great severity by Major General Oliphant.
