Last year, before Christmas, l was
working in little town in South Da-
kota. A man in the neighborhood had,
under great pressure. allowed me to
write him policy for two thousand
dollars. His wife had protested Wig
orously at the time, saying that she
needed a sewing machine more than
insurance.
One day heard that man had
been killed on the railroad, and al
though the accident made no particu-
lar impression on me at the time, 1
discovered during the day that the
victim was the man | had insured.
Immediately l hurried about and Sc
cured the necessary proofs of death,
sent them in to the Office, and request
ed that draft for the policy be sent
to me without delay. Less than a week
after the funeral l went to the home
of the widow with a draft for two
thousand dollars.
'She met me at the door with her
baby in her arms. All about there were
signs of deprivation, almost Of want.

visit at once, and the woman talked
TREMENDOUSLY about her husband

small rubber doll and a little package
of nuts and candy.
He bought these she said, for the
babys Christmas Then she broke
down in a torrent of grief.
Your husband sends you this for
your Christmas l said, handing over
the draft. l then explained it was her
insurance money.

Damascus, whose pedigree is the

RECORDS OF ENLISTED MEN.
Identification by Finger Prints Is
Now Reqnired.

Identification by Finger Prints Is
Now Reqnired.
On Sept. 1 the system of personal
Identification prescribed on April by
the war department was placed in
operation and record is to be made
of every man who may hereafter enlist
or re-enlist in that service, says the
New York Tribune. Circular Al en-
joins commanding officers TO take such
steps as may be necessary to insure
prompt and complete compliance with
the requirements of the order, and in
specting officers are charged to make
special inquiry and report as to wheth-
Ell these requirements have been met
On Sept. 1 the outline figure cards pre-
yiously in use were discontinued, and
hereafter the complete Identification
record, consisting of finger prints, per-
sonal description of the soldier, photo
graphic negative and one print of the
negative, will be forwarded to the mill
tary secretary of the army.
One of the most important features
of this Identification record is the i'm
preston of the fingers, as It is held
that the finger prints of no two men
are identical. 1t is absolutely neces-
Sary, therefore, that the finger prints
should be clear and the ridges distinct
ly outlined. There are two kinds of
impressions, plain and 'rOlled." The
former is secured by pressing the bulb
of the finger on the linked plate with
the plane of the nail parallel to the
plane of the plate, and then on the pa
per in the same manner. A rolled i'm
preston Is obtained by pressing the
side of the finger on the plate and then
rolling the finger from one side to the
other. After the impression of each
finger separately has been taken
plain impression of all the fingers of
the right hand is taken at one time.
The outline on the opposite side of the
prescribed form Is then filled up and
the personal description completed by
noting on the outline figure the princi-
pal identification marks. Upon compile
ton Of this routine the soldier Is re-
quired to sign his name in the place
provided for signature of soldier"
and after being photographed it is as
sumed that the means for his identif-
cation are as complete as it is possible
for human Ingenuity to make them.

Twenty-fifth's Gallant Record in Cuba
Recalled.
From the New York Sun.

Tn ordering the dishonorable dis
charge of a battalion of the Twenty
fifth Infantry, a Negro regiment, as
recommended by Inspector-General n.
A. Darlington, President Roosevelt
mas set a precedent which may be in
voked in the future against some other
regiment in the service if it should
fail to inform against its black sheep:
The conduct of men in the ranks OF
the Twenty-fifth at Brownsville on the
night of August 1S, 1906, was atrocious
and called for long terms in military

Of General Darlington, who was par
fed by the conspiracy of silence ana
maintained that it justified summary
discharge of the men of the battallon'

Grams of Caney with the raw recruits.

duty of the soldier to protect, but
should not honorable service be taken
into account in infiicting punishment
upon whole battalion because some
of its members have been blackguards
and murderers, and others, from a
false sense of comradship. have re-
fused to testify in an investigation?
The Twenty-fifth bore itself worthily
in the Cuban campaign, vying with the
white troops of General Lawton's COM
mand in fearlessness and efficiency.
Colonel A. S. Daggett, who command
ed the regiment in the assault on
Caney reported to the Adjutant Gen
eral that one battalion in which were
Companies c and D, now with the
battalion which is to be dismissed in
disgrace from the service, charged
ahead of the line of Miles's brigade
upon the stone fort, and that private
of D and another of Company H cap
tured the Spanish flag. Colonel Dag
gett claimed the honors for the Twen-
ty-ffth; but, although recognizing the
good work of the regiment, General
Chaffee decided that men of the
Twelfth were the first to enter the
fort. The record. however, showed
that the Negroes behaved with great
gallantry.
Could not some exemplary punish
ment have been devised to teach the
offending battalion a lesson, such as
banishment for a probationary period
to a remote post, for instance to AL
aska? The assignment might have
been hard on the commissioned Off
GERS. but were they altogether blame
less for the sins of the men and the
shortcomings of the non-commissiOn-
ed officers whom General Darlington
condemns in his report? President
Roosevelt's estimation Of the Negro
regular is high 1t is proved by II"
order that Colonial Pitcher was cor
rectly reported as saying that he did
not care to be associated with Negro
soldiers and would like to see them
out of the service. The President be-
lieves that such a sentiment, if utter
ed by an officer who may be assigned
to command Negro regiment, merits
punishment But Colonel Pitcher.
he is guilty. could be punished too
harshly; and most people, we think,
will believe that the men and non
commissioned officers of the Twenty
fifth not implicated in the murderous
outbreak at Brownsville will be pun
ished too harshly by dismissal from
the army and disqualification to serve
the Government in any civil capacity
hereafter.
The new age., 1906-11-24
BRAVE SOLDIERS.


Elsewhere in The Bee will be read
with interest the records of the color
ed soldiers who have been dismissed
from the Army in disgrace. Mr..
Roosevelt is a combination of the eX-
ecutive, legislative and judicial power
of this government. He exercised the
three when he dismissed from the
army the three companies of colored
soldiers. His attempt to please the
South has failed and he has success
fully offended the North. The Bee
would suggest that he run for third
term and see how dearly he is loved
by the colored citizens of the United
States. He should run by all means
and test his popularity in this coun-
try.
Jefferson Davis is more honOred to
day than Theodore Roosevelt. Ben
edict Arnold would have a monument
erected to his memory sooner than
Theodore Roosevelt. We have no
tears to shed because we predicted it's
coming. We are not disappointed be-
cause we told you So" The Amer
lean colored citizen is proud of his
soldiers and whatever the opinion of
Theodore Roosevelt is of them
amounts to but little. When he was
going up San Juan Hill these brave
men saved his life. 1t was at this
battle the Negro soldier distinguished
himself and demonstrated his superior
ability to that of Theodore Roosevelt.
Why should he not dismiss them in
disgrace? Why would he not say to
the American people that these are
cowardly Negroes who had to be dis
missed in disgrace. These are the
towards who deserved the honor of
saving the day at San Juan Hill, but
they must be dismissed in disgrace.
Theodore Roosevelt has never forgot
ten. He never forgets He is too
small to forget. He remembers small
things and never forgets the day of
an unjust retribution
The colored citizen should not lose
hope. They have friends among all
classes and the day is not far distant
when a just God will permit Ethio-
pia to stretch forth her hand again.
In the next war the Negro troops will
be needed again. They endeavored
to do with them in war of the rebel
lion but necessity that knows no
apology demanded that they be re-
cruited. Mr.. Roosevelt is President,
but like Othello's occupation, it will
soon be gone. He will have no one
to mourn for him, not ever the South
for whom he is doing so much. His
tory will record his deeds and they
will read like Don QuiXote and San
cha Panza. The colored American has
no cause to despair. He should not
weep, because justice reigns supreme.
The Constitution of the United
States has been violated and Congress
must act or go out of business.
