that, without regard to reforms OF system, how

RESPECT OF UNIFORM

SECRETARIES BONApARTI and TAFT
are taking practical steps, to put stop to the
un-patriotic and un-Amcrican discrimination,
which is beginning to show itself in this country,
against the uniform OF the Army and Navy.
Numerous instances have been brought to
their attention, where sober orderly and nc-
gent sailors and soldiers have been refused adj
mission to hotels, theatres because they were in
uniform.
Secretary l'onaparc proposes. that Congress
shall pass stringent law making any one liable
to a heavy fine and imprisonment who shall re
fuse any accommodation to decent and order
~ man in either branch OF the Government Ser
vice.
While there doubtless are men in both the
Army and Navy who are not scli-rcspccting
enough to respect their uniforms and misbe-
have in public yet each man must stand on his
merits, and the uniform must not be discrim-
mated against.
AS an exchange pertncndy SAYS 1.-The men
who wear the uniform of our navy are very
different class from the od-time mcn-o'-wars-
men who formerly filled every port with riotng.
The trained men OF the United States Navy are
intelligent and skilled mcchanCians who handle
that intricate and complex machine, the mod
crn batteshp. Many Of them are of the sound
est human material produced in the West and
other sections OF the country, and ii is so mani
fest an injustice that they should be discriminate
ed against lust because they wear the Uniform
OF their country, while the farm hands from their
fathers farms would be admitted without ques-
ton, that the Of fair play ii not Of patriot
ism, should rise and assert Itself"
SENATOR ALLEEis credited with scheme
to cnch the detection from Addclls in Della
ware, by the appointment OF DIR. Caleb Layton,
OF Sussex county, Collector OF Internal Revenue,
for the Maryland, Delaware and District of Co
lumbia district The anti-Addicks men say it
is now "up to- the President to finally squelch
Addcks by making the appointment. 1t is very
probable that Mr. Philip Lee Goldsborough the
present incumbent of the Collectorship, may not
think favorably of this plan to secure harmony
among Delaware Republicans.
THE mellowng spirit of the Christmas fes-
tival is upon us. and those whom past differences
have estranged, are feeling its potent spell.
Even the bitternesses of politics are being for
gotten, while Senators German and Raynor ex-
change the compliments of the season.

AssAILANr GETS TEN YEARS
Ramon Gonzales, Accused Of Assault,
ls Given Long Term in the
Penitentiary

FNUlANHAldly
Mr.. Gonzales, you are in an awful
position. I am truly sorry for you
but ! see no reason why this sentence
should not be pronounced" said Judge
p. N. Smith Of department one Of the
superior court yesterday, as he SEN
fenced Ramon Gonzales, a Mexican,
to ten years imprisonment in Folsom
penitentiary.
Gonzales was charged with assault
ing a 10-year-old Mexican girl.
When Judge Smith spoke to Coma
les yesterday the man stood up be-
fore the bar He was a stocky little
man with a heavy black mustache ana
in his eyes was the fear Of the hunted
animal as he looked toward the judge,
as IL trying to learn his fate even be-
fore the Interpreter had translated the
judges orders.
Have you anything to say why SEN
tence should not be pronounced,' said
Judge Smith. and to the doomed MeXi-
can there seemed one ray of hope.
Throwing out his arms with the ex-
pressive gesture of the southland,
Gonzales muttered in Spanish, Before
the Almighty God. | am innocent
Judge smith asked Gonzales to ex-
plain how he happened to be near the
scene of the crime, and as the man
was unable to give satisfactory an
swers, Judge Smith said, II am very
sorry for you, but you are in an awful
position"
The Interpreter translated and the
accused shook with fear, while the
veins in his neck swelled and his
fingers clutched at his coat.
Ten years in Folsom prison said
Judge Smith, and q sigh of relief came
from Gonzales.

SANTA FE CHIEFS ARRIVE
President Ripley and Other Prominent
Officials Make Los Angeles
Headquarters

e. p Ripley, president of the Santa
Fe railroad, arrived in Los Angeles
yesterday morning in company with
other officials from the east and local
officials who went to San Francisco to
meet him. He spent yesterday in con-
ference with the heads of the diff
ferent departments at the general
headquarters where all executive or
ders will be issued during the remain
der of the week.
Mr.. Ripley is of the opinion that the
Panama canal will not be built during
his life time, and so would not neces-
state his giving an opinion as to its
effect upon the western railroads. Re-
garding the canal he said:
II do not believe that 1t will ap-
proach completion for twenty years at
least. 1t Is a much larger proposition
than most people seem to think, and
will take much more money and time
than is now estimated. In fact, l do
not expect to be alive when it is fin
ished | cannot see what interest the
present generation has in it unless it
is for the betterment of the coming
generation.
Il think" said Mr. Ripley in dis
cussing the stand President Roosevelt
has taken regarding railroad rates,
that the president is sincere in his
opinions, but he is certainly mistaken.
My opinion upon this does not differ
materially from that of any railroad
man."
When questioned regarding the i'm
provements that have been planned for
the western lines, Mr.. Ripley stated
that there is nothing of particular men,
tion on foot at present. They are now
establishing several different cutofs
and reducing grades in order that bet
ter time can be made between the east
and west
