Remarkable hodesty.

A general who does not want pro-
motion now, and begs that it be given
to some one else-this is the phenom-
enon actually to be found in the army.
The man is Brig. Gen. J. Franklin Bell,
chief of staff. He was selected for his
present position some months ago
much to his regret, he publicly de-
clares as he had some work he pre-
ferred to do at the Fort Leavenworth
school: and. anyway, he would have
liked it better if this important place
had been given to him later in his
career. Now, by reason of numerous
changes he is senior brigadier gen
eral. and would therefore be the Off
Ger to be promoted to the rank of
major general this week on the re-
tirement of Lieut.. Gen. Corbin AS
soon as Gen. Bell heard that he was
likely to be promoted, he went direct
sonal favor that he be overslaughted
by at least two other ofticers-Gens.
Jesse Nj. Lee and Theodore J. Wint,
both men of much longer service than
himself. Naturally, the secretary
could not resist so unselfish an ap-
peal. and Gen. Lee, who retires for
age next January, will be promoted
this week to the major generalcy he
would not otherwise have obtained.
The ,Nrmy has every reason to be
proud of Gen. Bells fine record re-
marks the New York Post, but it will
like him all the more for this readi-
ness to step aside for others.

TAFT is POPULAR.
Rapidly Gaining Favor With The Peo
pie of Cuba.

Havana.-Governor Tafts --latest
acts have gone far to win .
warm place in the hearts OF
the people whose destinies have
been placed in his hands Presid
ing Monday at the opening ex
ercises of the University of Havana
he declared that his mission here was
solely for the purpose of uplifting the
fallen republic and restoring it to the
path of prosperity, an announcement
which was greeted with demonstra
tions of delight from an audience rep
resentative of the highest society Of
Cuba
Following thiS it became known that
Mr.. Taft and Assistant Secretary Ba
con had cabled for their wives to. join
them here, step which must be most
agreeable to the Cuban people, and one
which will strongly cement the friend.
ship between them and the American
provisional government.
Still another act of Governor Taft
is warmly commended as Illustrative
of his thoughtful consideration of the
humber classes. Learning that man,
poor families occupying the temporar
lily disused barracks at Camp Colum
bia were about to be summarily
evicted by order of the Cuban authori-
ties. in preparation of the occupation
of the quarters by the brigade of ma.
rines, Governor Taft directed that
these people remain undisturbed in
their homes for Il period of fifteen
days. Meanwhile a portion of the ma.
rines will remain under canvas.
The order for the eviction had been
issued in the name of the provisional
government. Upon hearing of the
plight of the present tenants of the bar,
racks, Governor Taft went to Camp
Columbia in an automobile, explained
that he had rot been aware of the
conditions and rescinded the order. He
left the camp amid cheers and warm
expressions Of gratitude from tho peo,
pie.
The news of this act of humanity
spread rapidly and received the high.
est praise These evidences of Am.
eriCan good will have earned such gen
eral favorable comment that the land.
ing of the battalion of marines which
will constitute the garrison here
causes hardly a ripple of excitement

Claring October 18th a leral holiday,

Crer of America, the anniversary of
which event occurs October 18th. His

the standpoint of its meadows. says
Arthur Cotton, in The Reader Its
spirit is defined. human. sufficient.
sheltered from high, desolate and
Sierran ambitions. The thought OF
the Canyon of the Colorado is COM
pact of color and immensity; that Of
Yosemite is not of size. but OF pro-
