The W. R. c.

The members of the w. R. G. ex-
press their thanks to all those who
patronized them during the week
of their dinner and supper for which
they realized about $500.
The w. R. G. are busy bees this
year, striving in every way to help
in a good cause. Mrs. Glissendorf,
our new president, is planning ahead
all the time for the good of the corps
in way of dinners, entertainments
etc. She makes a good shrewd
president and a good loyal woman
and we have lots Of good loyal wom-
en-, in fact, we could hardly. have a
quorum to fill the offices if it were
not for the loyal women. The SOL
diers wives and widows are growing
old, some are deceased, some have
gone to the highlands of heaven,
where the storms never blow, and
the long summers given. We keep
in memory little green spot for
loyal sister, Mrs. Emma Carr, who
SO faithfully and satisfactorily filled
the presidents chair. Mrs. Carr
when president would not assume
any rights except what her Office
called her to, hardly that although her
Judgment was always good and the
corps was always ready to abide by
her judgment, yet she was always
unassuming and said the soldiers
wives Ind the best and first rights
to say and act, and the first rights
to Offices etc. Mrs. Carr never
worked for fame, but for the good
of the order she belonged to.

Demise of Mr.. Elliott M. Chaplin,

Mr.. Elliott M. Chaplin died at
his home in Sand Spring. last Sun
day, the is inst, aged II years 8
months and 10 days. For several
years Mr.. Chaplin had been severe
ly afflicted with rheumatism, but he
obtained partial relief, and became
able to journey away from home as
occasion demanded. His inGrmaties
did not lessen his good nature, nor
did they bring from his lips words
of complaint and fretful impotence.
We recall a visit to this office during
the winter when his cheerful CONVEX
sation was like the coming of the
sunshine. Mr.. Chaplin had resided
in the edge of Delaware county for
nearly fifty years, and has won the
esteem and affection of two gener-
atoms Of neighbors.
Mr.. Chaplin was born at Fitz-
william. New Hampshire, June s.,
1884. This was the birth place of
the Whittemore families who were
so prominently identified with the
early history Of Bowen's Prairie.
He attended the public schools Of
Fitzwilliam, and spent one year OF
study at an academy in Ludlow,
Vermont. When yet minor he
engaged in the mercantile business,
but went to Adrian. Michigan, in
1854. After three years OF business
he came to the neighborhcod of
of Sand Spring, and purchased land.
Mr.. Chaplin was married Novem-
Der s, 1860, to Jennie L. Larzelere of
Dowagiac, Michigan, who servives
him. They were the parents of
eight children, all Of whom are liv-
ing.-Monticello Express.

THE NEW SOLDIER CLOTHES,

There's much in clothes, as Carlyle
 and others have shown. So there is
 much in the plan to have an English tailor, or sartorial artist, put his mo-
 ttons into the clothes of the United States soldiers. Joseph Smith of Lowell
 Massachusetts, has been studying the situation, and he has something to say about it. It is cardinal prin- ciple of these military dress designers, he says, that the secret of victories and the key to campaigns are hidden in the peculiar dress or characteristic headgear of the last military victor, and nearly every change in army uni form since 1900 has been coincidental with the close of some foreign war. The four pound tar bucket hat, the brass cavalry pot and plume and the bobtail coat which succeeded the con- tinental uniform were supposed to be the sources of Napoleonic victory and the secret of the grenadiers' valor, and as such were seized to adorn the men who chased Seminoles in Florida swamps and other savages on frozen northern frontiers. The tar pot march, ed over the plans and the bobtail in- vaded the Mexican plateau, and doubt ess the sight of both struck terror to Santa Anna and weakened the de- 'enders of Chapultepec."
 If this is right, or anywhere near it, t will be interesting to see what the new clothes look like and what they lc.

NOT roo ooNsERK.4rLHE.

A few days ago Brother Bryan was being described as conservative enough to suit and soothe anybody who used to be afraid of him. It now appears that there was something wrong about that description. He feels moved to say of himself q am more radical than in 1898," and he adds: Tit is to the interest of every honest man that dishonesty should be exposed and punished; otherwise the deserving are apt to suffer for the un- deserving. If, however, by the word conservative they mean that I have changed my position on any public question or moderated my opposition to corporate aggrandizement they have surprise waiting for them. I am more radical than I was in 1896 and nave nothing to withdraw on econona- lcal questions which have been under discussion" Further on he declares that the logic of events has not proved the correctness of the gold theory.
 So it appears that Brother Bryan doesn't want to be looked on as too conservative. As time goes on it will probably become plain that he isn't too conservative.

TRADE IN MANcHuRIA.

Some of the good and sharp people of this country have been just little sus- picious of Japan's purposes in Manchu- ria and afraid that she didn't mean to give other nations, including the United States, a good show to trade there. But the statement concerning Manchuria which has just been issued by Japan in- dicates that Japan means to play fair The statement declares that no exclu- sive privileges have been or will be granted to Japanese merchants, that Japan is unalterably committed to the principle of the Open Door, and that the delay in opening Dalny to trade-a de- lay which caused much criticism here and abroad-is due to the necessity of retaining Dalny, until next fall at least, exclusively as a depot for the embarka- tion of troops. When the war closed in Manchuria a year ago Japan had more AAlsLAA bOUyuuV GOlOiGlS NlSAIlDuLGu over that territory. Enormous quantities of supplies and ammunition had been ac- cumulated for their use. The movement of these troops and these supplies back to Japan is an undertaking requiring time, and the time asked by Japan for its accomplishment is not excessively long.
 Beyond the reinsurance that trade in Manchuria will be free to all alike, the Japanese statement contains frank avowal of an intention to develop the country as a Japanese market. Japan, as a competitor for Chinese trade, has and industrial advantages. She is thousands of miles nearer to the ports of entry than any other manu- facturing and exporting nation on the face of the earth. She is building an merchant marine for the trans

port of goods. She is manufacturing for export more cheaply than England or Germany or the United States can manufacture because labor costs little and because the price of raw material corresponds with the price of labor. In industrial pursuits the people of Japan display the same energy, persistence, thoroughness and resource evineed in the conduct of their war. We have the first call upon the market" declares the statement, and we ought to be able to win it." And judging from what she has done it will not be surprising if they do.

The naval bureau of equipment is ar ranging for the disbursement of the $6o,0OO just appropriated by congress for establishing on the Pacific coast 8 chain of wireless telegraph stations similar to that which exists from Cape Elizabeth, Maine, to Galveston. The first of the new stations to be built is that at Cape Flattery, for which the contract has been awarded. Five other stations will be installed. Wireless telegraphy has been of great advantage in San Francisco since the earthquake, and was really in the week following the disaster about the only means of communication between the stricken city and the outside world. The com mercial lines were paralyzed, and in the general demoralization great service was rendered by the naval wireless op- orators at the training station on Yerba Buena Island, at the navy yard at Mare Island, at Point Arguello and the Far allones, as well as on board the United States cruiser Chicago, which anchored near Fort Mason, the headquarters of General Funston.

NEw THINGS FOR THE FRENCH.

I
 The French are bound to have the lat est Improvements, including new bonds Of United States railroads, and an in- come tax. The adoption of the income tax, which was voted by the Chamber after the Minister of Finance had de- clared that otherwise he would resign, was advocated as an absolute budgetary necessity. The fiscal year ended with a large det1cit--no less than S75, 1000, 900. While that has to be provided for, the budget for 1907 carries, nevertheless, in- creased expenses of some $6O,00O,OO0, bringing the total for the first time above the $8OOOOO,OOO mark. Such aug mented expenditures M. Poincare as- serted to be inevitable" So something had to be done.
 France had an income tax for awhile after the war with Germany, when the big indemnity had to be paid, and it was spoken of as a merely temporary" tax, which would not be resorted to, after its immediate purpose was served, except as a resource in time of war. Of course the new income tax wont be popular, but few taxes are popular.
