country, which was expected dutifulIy and patriotically to marvel at the won- derful exhibition of what perfect or ganization can accomplish.
 And yet to the transportation com panies affected the whole affair was of little more importance in their daily routine, though a great deal more convention or a political gathering.
 For transportation companies are accustomed Ito handle much larger ar- mics than this--the armies of peace and pleasure. In the spring there Is an army, many times 5000 in number, which moves peacefully and harmonI- sous1y upon New York from every part of the country on it's way to Europe. Tn the autumn the same army returns and is distributed again to the four cornerssof the land In the early sum mer, wben payements grow hot and cities stffing, there is the exodus to the shore and mountains.
 So that 1t seems strange to raise such a hullabaloo over the mobiliztng af mere 5000 so9iers when one e- members the peaceful armies whfch are continually campaigning through the country. Anyone who has wit messed the scene of pustIe and eonfu- sion as the returning advance guard of the host of pfeasure-seekers comes streaming into the Grand Central Sta ton in New York on the first Tuesoay in September, armed with golf clubs. tennis racquets and fishing tackle, with baggage trucks on every hand piled high with the impedimenta of travel, gets some faint idea of the prpportions to which this movement attains.
 More practice, perhaps, would fa- cfjtate handling the soldiers of Un- cie Sam's army. The armies of peace, at all events, mobilize rapidly and yet successfully They are always at it. Even now these armies are gathering again. this time for the annual ad- vance upon the winter resorts of the South. The vanguard is. ready to make it's annual capture of the baths at Virginia Hot Sprir gs and to find recreation in the mountains of west ern Virginia and the Carolinas In a few weeks these and other hosts from every part of the land will begin to move on to that marvellous stretch of surf-beaten sand which marks with an unbroken line of foam the eastern coast line of Flor ida from the mouth of the St.. Jbhn's, at the northeastern corneR of the State, through nearly five degrees of lati- tude to Miami-an entire State given over to a great winter playground, forming the nearest American ap- proach to the famous Riviera.

 washington, Nov. 7.-President Roosevelt has directed that a reprimand be administered to Willis L.. Moore chief of the Weather Bureau, for his action in the case of a printer named Cooper, fin his office, who had been ex- pelled from the typographical union for not paying his strike assessments
 MT. Moore, it is alleged. Rurged Coop CT on two occasions to pay his assess ments, but the latter refused and he was expelled from the union. Follow ing this Cooper was transferred to Neu Orleans, and he claimed that this ac- ton on. the part of Moore was intended as n punishment for him for not com plying with the demands of the typo- graphical union.
 I The matter was referred to the Civil Service Commission. which. without re- porting on the question of whether or not Cooper's transfer was intended as punishment, held that Mfr Moore 5 action In urging the payment of the strike assessments was improper. un- der the circumstances the Commission, expressed the opinion that Cooper transfer would not be for the good of the service, as this would give the fm- pressien that it was intended as a pun ishment

 Spectator.
 The history of the favored position which married women occupy In our legal system is not without interest Until comparatively recent times e married woman was considered m the eye of the law as no more capable or owning or dealing with propertk- than ed when she married became her hus- bands. All she acquired during her marriage passed into his control. and he had the sole right of dealing with 1t. She could not make valid con- tract. She could not sue or be sued alone. She was. in fact. legal non- entity, mere shadow of her husband personality.
 As the result of a series of acts of Parliament, passed during the last sevv- enty years, married women have grad ualiy emerged from this position of le- gal disability. Now married woman may possess separate property Of her own. and deal with 1t quite indepen- dently of her husband. She may make contracts. She may sue and be suet in her own name. In fact. she now enjoys all the rights of an unmarried woman.
 But TOT some uhaccouutAple EeaeVh the legislature, in comforting upon her increased powers and privileges, hal not enlarged her responsibility in pro- portion. Regarded from her stand point of legal liability, her position still remains in many respects. quite exceptional and anomalous. For OK ample, the wife is entirely exempt from liability to pay for articles whicf fall within the category of 'neoessa- ries" and in the case of ladies in SO ciety ''necessaries' Is a very elastic term, and may include expensive artl' cles of dress or jewelry.
