The Meeting at Davis.


Mr. Caunon's meeting at Davis. w. Va.
II ost successful OF his entire tour. This
mining and lumber town is located at a
greater altitude than any other settlement
in the state. 1t is community of men
who work. and M. Cannon's audience was
one almost entirely OF workingmen, who
listened with the greatest attention to
everything he had to say. The gathering
was In the new opera house, which accom-
uOdated about 100 people Almost as
many more people failed to gain admission
to the building.
Quite an interest has been shown by peo-
pie In comparing the size and nature of the
audiences that have greeted Henry g. Da-
Wis and Speaker Cannon. as MIR. Davis ap-
peared at many of the places where Mr.
Cannon spoke a week later. Unbiased opin-
ions of the relative interest shown in these
meetings concur in declaring that there
has been on the surface very little differ
ence between the reception given the Two
parties. In many of these cases, as the
meetings were not held at the same time
of day. they could not properly be COM
pared.
Cannon Warmly Greeted.
Evening meetings are always more large
~ attended than those that are held In the
afternoon or morning. But 1t Is certain
that Henry G.. Davis in the towns of his
home state many Of which are named
either for him, for members of his family
or for his friends, was never more warmly
received than was Speaker Cannon. whose
appeal to the people was made. not Tor
personal reasons or with any reference TO
state pride in securing for him favorable
hearing. but was based entirely upon a
presentation of principles of his party
which he regarded tending to contribute
far more to the prosperity of the state OF
West Virginia than the policies of the DEM
ocratic party.
Heavy Demand for Services.
The demands by local committees on the
time of Speaker Cannon have been far In ex-
cess of his ability to comply with them.
The Maryland state committee arranged
for series of meetings at small towns.
where 1t proposed that r. Cannon would
speak from the rear platform of his private
car. In that way it proposed to occupy
him throughout today. allowing him to get
to Baltimore only in time to speak at the
mass meeting In that city.
But Mr.. Cannon's friends promptly vetoed
this plan. which was never suggested until
the party was within few miles of Cum
berland. 1t was deemed absolutely neces-
sary that Mr.. Cannon should have today
for rest, II was one of the few days since
he started out on his trip that was not
taken up with afternoon meeting. He
took occasion of the opportunity to have
his run down to Washington. where he
will probably have short talk with the
President and will look after some Of his
correspondence.

rs NOT RETROACTIVE
APPLICATION OF ACT OF APRIL
81, 1904, TO MARINE CORPS.
Officers Retired Prior to That Date Not
Entitled to Advanced Rank, in
Attorney Generals View.

Attorney General Moody has given an
opinion to the Secretary Of the Navy to the
effect that officers of the Marine Corps who
served during the civil war and who were
retired prior to the passage of the naval ap-
preparation act of April q, 1904, are not
entitled to advanced rank on the retired
list, on the ground that the benefits of that
act applied only in the cases of marine
officers thereafter retired. The question
arose on the application Of Major Augustus
s. Nicholson Of the Marine Corps, a civil
war veteran, who was retired May, 1894,
and other marine officers who had served in
the civil war and also retired before the
passage of the act in question.
A Complex Question.
The question was a most complicated one
in view of the various provisions of law re-
lating to the retirement Of officers Of the
army. navy and Marine Corps. Although
the Marine Corps is in many respects a
separate and distinct organization, 1t is
generally treated as a part of the navy
In the matters Of pay and retirement. how
ever, the officers of the Marine Corps are
governed by the laws relating to officers
of the army. The naval personnel act of
March 3, 1899, provided that officers Of the
navy who served during the civil war
should be retired with the rank and pay of
the next higher grade. 1t was held at that
time that officers of the Marine Corps were
not entitled to the benefits of that act To
remedy that apparent discrimination Con-
gresS April q, 1904, passed an act putting
marine officers who served In the civil war
on retirement in the same category with
naval officers who had similar service.
That act became a law four days later
than a similar statute made for the benefit
of officers Of the army who had served dur
ing the civil war.
As Regards Marine Corps.
Because of that fact the Attorney Gen.
eral holds that marine officers are not en-
titled to the benefits Of the army law in
the matter of retirements. Notwithstanding
the provisions of previous statutes under
which army officers and marine officers
were retired under similar conditions
The Importance of this distinction lies in
the fact that under the army act of April
%, 1904, the President was given dis
cretionary authority to give advanced pay
and rank to retired officers of the army
who served during the civil war regardless
of the date of their retirement In the opin-
ion of the Attorney hGeneral the provision
in the naval actofL April q, 1904, passed
four days later than the army act showed
plainly that Congress did not intend that
the provisions of the army act should apply
to officers of theJ Marine Corps In otker
the Marine Corps having civil war records,
who retired on or after the passage of the
act of April q, 219O4, are entitled to adj
yanced pay and srank on the retired list

dents discretion ,9t

KISSES AT CORNELL.
They Are Taxed So Each-The "Anti-

Ihey .Sre Taxed Sc Each-Ihe Anti
Spooning" Society.
An "Anti-Spooning society" is the
latest creation of the women of Cor
nell university, says an Ithaca dis
patch to the New York World. The
new coed organization aims to disci-
pline the Cornell men and to teach
them the rights of a coed. The pro-
visions of the bylaws provide for a
system of fines for violation of the
principles of the society.
If Cornell man calls at Sage COL
lege-the dormitory where the co-eds
live-the girl whom he asks for IS
fined rs cents. If she permits him to
see her the punishment is increased
to 50 cents The next step is that
from which the society derives its
name, for if she is caught "spooning"
with her caller the fine is doubled and
amounts to 81. If she should be so
indiscreet as to allow him to kiss her
or so unskillful as to not conceal that
happening an underlined bylaw pro-
vides for fine Of q.
There are many quiet forest walks
about the Cornell campus, and for en-
joying one of these with a Cornell
man the unhappy member of the An
ti-Spooning society is fined 81. For
country drive the same punishment
is meted out.
