BLUE BADGE OF HONOR.
President ROssevelt's Tribute to the
Man In Uniform.

President ROsseveIes Tribute to the
Man In Uniform.
A notable tribute to the American
soldier was paid by President Roose-
Velt in letter to Secretary Taft In
dorsing the action OF a court martial
which reduced Lieutenant Roy l. Tay-
lof twelve flles for unbecomlng con-
duct toward an enlisted man of his
command. A sergeant of his company
occupied seat at theater In front Of
Taylor. At the latter's request or di-
rection the sergeant moved to another
part of the house. The court martial
followed.
The president says In his letter, which
Is dated Feb. 5, 1905:
SIN my Judgment Lieutenant Taylor
committed one Of the most serious
faults which any officer can commit.
am glad that he was reduced twelve
files. 1t is a pleasure to record the
fact that his offense was altogether ex-
ceptional In the body to which he be-
longs. l know of no other officer who
has ever been guilty of similar miscon-
duct.
'There Is no body OF men In this
country Of similar size which merits so
well of the country as the body Of Of
ticers and enlisted men In the army
and navy of the United States. Not
only should the country as a whole
jealousy guard the interests of these
men and regard their honor as being
identified to a peculiar degree and In a
peculiar sense with its own, but the
members of the body should them
selves feel the same Jealous eagerness
to uphold the honor and standing OF
all connected with it. Above all, this
should be the object Of the officers as
regards the enlisted men.
'"The more civilized O nation Is, the
more honestly desirous it is of secur-
ing peace, the greater should be the
care with which IL fosters and encour-
ages the preservation of the military
virtues among its citizens, and in no
way can this be better achieved than
by resoiute effort to secure proper rec
ognition for the enlisted men Of the
army and navy. The uniform of the
enlisted man Is a badge of honor. 1t
entities him to peculiar consideration.
1t shows that In the great majority of
cases he has learned those habits of
self command, Of self restraint, of ODE,
dience and of fearlessness In the face
Of danger which put him above most
Of his fellows who have not possessed
similar privileges. To strive to dis
criminate against him In any way is
literally an infamy, for 1t is in reality
one Of the most serious offenses which
can be committed against the stability
and greatness of our nation."-New

William jennings Bryan is an enig-
ma. He is the puzzle OF American
politics. Look the situation squarely
In the face. Here is a man who on oc-
casior has all but disrupted the demo-
cratic party. BY his radical views he
drove countless thousands into the
ranks OF the enemy He was cursed
and berated and belittled. Time after
time he went down to defeat He was
leader without one victory to his
credit, and the one thing that friend
and foe could say of him was that he
took defeat gracefully and possessed
that unlickabie American spirit that
permitted him to emerge from each
disaster with words OF hope on his
lips. Today the signs of the times are
that Bryan is stronger politically than
when it was believed he was at the
zenith OF his popularity. There does
not seem TO have been concerted at
tempt to force him into the presiden-
tial race: and yet, as state after state
has held its convention, the indorse-
ment of the Nebraskan has been spon-
tane0us and unanimous. He is bet
ter politician than of yore, and 1t may
be. better citizen certainly a much
wiser politician. He is big man
You can't get away from 1t. The democ.
racy Of Indiana. of Arkansas, Of Sou
Dakota, and OF Missouri, and the lead
ers Of Ohio, are hailing him as Moses.
Il the tide continues to rise they may
make him president Afnsoar Chrofs.

The Tribune would rather see Roose-
velt elected than any other Republican
or any Democrat except Bryan, and it
would rather see Bryan elected than
any other Democrat or Republican ex-
cept Roosevelt. We hope that the
candidates OF the two parties will be
Roosevelt and Bryan, aud then the
people can make fair choice accord
ingly as they favor the platforms enun-

may be chosen the interests of the peo-
pie will be safeguarded against preda-

Thomas gave her thrilling slide for
life from the top of the court house
buil.ling attached to the wire by her
hail. She had very narrow escape
from death owing to the fact that the
wire cable was strung so tightly that
it did not sag with her weight which
made her strike too high on the can
vases used In stopping her flight,
tearing them from the hands of the
four men and she shot between the
cross pieces used in Tightening the
wire. She was picked up by her hus-
band and when it was found that she
was uninjured the crowd drew a sigh
of relief. Her arms and body were
bruised slightly but aside from that
she did not suffer any injury which
was miraculous indeed. Shortly after
wards Monsieur Thomas gave his rope
walking exhibition, cooking meal on
the wire and a few other acts.
The baseball game at the fair
grounds between Sphinx and Elk Point
was next on the program. Nearly
the entire town went out to see the
game and all enjoyed it very much.
The score does not give good idea Of
the game as Sphinx played much better
than it indicates and Elk Point got
all their scores in two innings, the
first and the sixth.
The score.

GOV CUMMINS' point In his reply to
Geo. d. Perkins peace proposal,
that it is not the province of Candidates
for nomination TO delegate the powers
and responsibilities of the state con-
vention to any other body, is more
specious than weighty. Mr.. Perkins
proposal that committee chosen from
the national committee should adjust
disputed delegations, is no more taking
the matter away from the convention
than would be credential committee
appointed by the temporary chairman.
In either case the undisputed delegates
to the convention would have and
would exercise the right to review the
action of any credentia committee. In
view OF the general understanding
that the Perkins forces control the
state committee, Mr. Perkins PROPOSE
tion that disputed delegations be re-
ferred to an outside committee unblas-
ed by local interests or prejudices, is
certainly magnanimous and fair

to the rope like grim death itself, but
after five minutes pull the Richland

MORNING PROGRAM.

A smart shower Wednesday morn
ing dampened the ardor of the chill
dren, but served only to thoroughly
lay the dust, drive the farmers out of
the cornfields for the day and seHd the
\ wiIOie faInii into town TO the ceieDra-
tion. The streets and business houses
we're decorated with unusual taste and
appropriateness, and an unusual num-
ber of stands with liquid and more or
less solid refreshments for sale for
those with yearnings in this direction,
we're seen on every hand. A good
crowd was in attendance all day and
those who had been predicting a slim
celebration for Elk Point this year
were the only ones disappointed.
The band led the crowd down Main
street to IL court house yard at ii
o'clock, when the exercises we're
opened by prayer by the Rev. T. J.
Woodcock. Mayor Main sat on the
platform, but with native modesty del
egated to Prof. II. E. French the duty
of presiding over the exercises and In
PRODUCING the participants. Miss
Kathryn French read the Declaration
of independence in clear, firm voice
and was followed by violin solo by
Miss Maud Tollefson and an appropriate
recitation by Miss Abbie Rome. Hon.
J. U. Sammis of Sioux City gave the
Grafton, which was listened to with
marked attention. 1t was an earnest
and vigorous plea for honesty-honesty
in politics, in business and in all phases
of human life, such as would make the
days celebration very practical and
helpful matter.
AFTERNOON PROGRAM.
Immediately after dinner the sports
on Main street began with the parade
of rag mullins, VINO with their gro
tesque faces, caused considerable
laughter. The first race was for boys
under twelve years of age and there
were nine entries. Archie JOHN won
first, and Lester Hudson and Charley
Nearman tied for second place and on
running off the tie Hudson won. In
the boys foot race under seventeen
years, there were four entered. G.
Sharon won first and Harlow Joy sec
ond. There were only three entered
in the sack race, but they supplied
more amusement than il there were
forty. Leonard Matson, the smallest
boy in the bunch, won first money and
it pleased the crowd nightly to see
him win. Perry and Severson tied for
second place and in running the sec
ond time Perry won. In the three
legged race there were three pairs of
boys, Bruce and Tuttle winning by q
nice margin, S. Seyerson and A. Mum
son. second, and f Perryland j. Sever
son, third. The mems foot race was
a good one, Main and Bryan running
nearly even for ninety yards, Main
winning first, Bryan second and Wal
ters third. The time was l0t for the
100 wards. The races caused much
laughter and amusement as the boys
run as though their life depended on
their efforts.
Immediately after the foot races on
Main street the crowd repaired to the
court house square where Madame

vantages Of that sort. The coat and
skirt costu11cs Of today must be a coat
and skirt costume. The coat is not
suitable to wear with anything else,
so there must be a. separate jacket or
wrap to wear over other gowns if addi-
tional warmth is required.
The covert coat is more or. less of a
useful garment, but should be made
loose, and something on the lines of a
mans coat to be really smart. Then
there ara the loose coats in all light
colors, either with coat sleeves OF large
size or with wide sleeves. These are
most useful for they can do duty for
evening wraps in summer. as well as
being suitable for the afternoon or for
a carriage wrap. The smartest are in
the light colors, and yet there are some
most attractive ones in bright red and
blue, with large buttons, that are to be
had only at smart places, and which are
extremely well cut and well finished.
All these loose coats have more or
less of a practical air about them and
look as though made by tailor rather
than by a dressmaker. They are not
at all on the same plan as the more
are trimmed with braiding or lace, and
yet in most instances they are smarter
than the latter Motoring has had
much to do with the demand for them,
for, although they are not in any sense
of the word motor coats. yet they are
useful to slip on for driving or for
going about in any sort of trap, and.
while. much better suited to country
wear than city, are not inappropriate
in the off season if q loose coat is nee
essary.
From the present indications, or at
least from vague hints, it would seem
as though next winter was to see a
brocade or cloth. In the meantime
there are to be seen some few smart
silk coats made in this style and in
tended to be worn with net lace or

way to trim the silk wrappers Is with
shirred satin ribbon. The ribbon Is
very narrow and fs exceedingly pretty

silk is usually used as a binding on
the outside of the garment, which fire.
quently has no other trimming.
Occasionally sprigsed challie or hg-
ured flannel is used for the babies
wrappers or kimonos. OF course only
certain colors may be chosen, the
choice being confined to pink and
white or blue and white. The pattern
should be very small and the back

effect be that of a close design. The

ceedingly pretty indoor wrap for the

taken In the selection. lest something
too pronounced and not sufficiently
dainty be procured.
A most attractive rashion is to en-
broider tiny sprigs or blossoms at In
tervals all over the little garment. or
course the design should be a very
scattered one and the blossoms very
tiny. 1t takes comparatively little
work to do this, as the blossom is so
small that few strokes OF the needle
complete it. A white flannel,f cashmere
or plain challie wrapper made N this
fashion and embroidered all over with
tiny rosebuds had a pink silk lining
and beading and was tied with pink
ribbon. Another white wrapper. en-
broidered with pale blue morning
glories. had a blue lining and ribbons.
A pale blue kimono had little white
daisies embroidered on 1t and Q white
scalloped edge.
