a gold thread monogram. Enlbroideries of
the fur seem a farcical method of adorn-
ment but, 1t must be noted, such embroid-
cries are used only upon the MORE lamb

the clumsy effect one would imagine.

the crown There can be do doubt what
ever that the power of summary dismissal
was inherent In the office of commander-in
chief when the President was invested by
the Constitution with that office and there
has never been any attempt on the part OF
Congress to prevent or interfere with the
exercise Of this authority Enlistment is a
contract and has been so held by the Su-
preme Court of the United States, and 1t
is contract terminabe at Will by the gov
eminent. This is all that is done when
soldier is discharged without honor. Inc
commander-in-chief or his representative
terminates the contract of enlistment. The
precedents are gathered together In the re-
port of the judge advocate general and 1t
appears that no less han 90 enlisted men a
were discharged without honor from the
army of the United States during the past
year. 1t makes no difference whatever In
principle whether one man or ten or one
hundred or an entire regiment are dismiss,
ed in this way. The principle is the same
in all. The power of summary dismissal
mast rest where it has always rested, with
the highest militarJ authority in the coun-
try. 1t is impossible to conceive OF main.
tanning an army on any other principle. II
a soldier cannot be separated from the
service except by being convicted Of crime
on evidence which would satisfy jury IN
a civil case there is no possibility OF main
tanning military discipline.
An Essential Power.
1.-The power to dismiss or terminate the
contract of enlistmen. is absolutely essen
tial to the maintenance of an army. In
fact the principle runs through al business
and society. Civil society could not go on
If the power of dismissal or removal with
out the necessity of evidence to convict be-
fore jury was not universal. 1t has been
recognized fully in the civil service. The
theory that the Presidents power of re-
moval could be limited was debated from
the foundation of he government until I'M
der --ndrew Johnson the tenure of office act
was passed 1t was found impossible to
conduct the government under such llm1ta-
tons and the act modified under Grant
and repealed under Cleveland. believe
1t to have been unconstitutional. but that
it impractcable has been demonstrated
and the Presidents power remained as II
must remain, absolute. What is true OF civil
life is true with tenfold force of the army
If the commander-in-chief is unable to dis
miss from the army the soldiers whom ne
regards as dangerous to the service and to
military discipline without furnishing proof
which would convict to a jury military dis
cipline would be at an end and the army
of the United States would become a men
ace to the people of the country. The law,
the Constitution, the statutes and the uni
form practices are so clear as to the right
of the President to terminate the contract
of enlistment and discharge soldiers at
pleasure that it seems a waste of words to
any one who has read the statutes to argue

Rights of the President.

The question of law is whether the Pres
ident in dismissing these companies with
out honor exceeded his powers under the
law and the Constitution. This question
can be settled by the Senate just well
now, and l think better than at any other
time without the least regard for the COM
mittee's decision to the matter of fact.
1t is purely a question of law, and l think
II ought to be detached from the question
of fact and settled at once, because | think
that confusing one question with another
has already done harm, tends toward injus-
ticc and will create great delay and
prevent prompt action. The Constitution
makes the President cOmmander-n-chief
of the army and navy of the United States
and Congress is given authority to make
rules for the government and regulation
of the land and naval forces In the fifth
amendment of the Constitution the land
and naval forces are excepted from the
rights guaranteed to all persons who are
held to answer for a capital otherwise
Infamous crime. 1t appears, therefore, that
soldiers and sailors We're recognized as be-
ing subject to law different from that
administered in the civil courts In making
the President commander in-chief the Con-
stitution conferred upon him all the power
and authority ordinarily exercised by the
commander in-chief under the military law

RIGHT TO DISMISS
Presidential Powers Discussed
by Senator Lodge.
DISCHARGE OF SOLDIERS
Merely the Question of Law Con-
sidered.
A CONSTITUTIONAL ARGUMENT
Withholds Opinion as to the Response
bility for the Brownsville Outrage
Until He Has the Evidence.
A CONSTITUTIONAL ARGUMENT

Mr. Lodge addressed the Senate this
afternoon on the dismissal of negro soldiers
of the 25th Infantry by the President on
the charge of shooting up Brownsville,
Tex. He said:
1.-TWO questions are here involved, a ques-
ton of fact and question of law They
are entirely distinct; they ought to be set
tied separately and neither should be per-
mitted to cloud obscure the other In
the public mind. The question of fact may
be stated in this way: There was shoot
Ing in the streets of Brownsville on the
night OF August 10, 1906. houses were fired
into. one man was killed and the lieutenant
of police had his horse shot under him
and was so severely wounded in the arm
that amputation was necessary. These
facts are admitted and are not disputed
by any one. This shooting was done by
some one: 1t was done either by United
States soldiers from Fort Brown or by in
kabtants of the town of Brownsville.
There was one else, and it is not pre-
tended that there is any one else who
could have done it. The President, the
Secretary of War and the officers of the
army detailed to inquire into the affair
have decided that the shooting was done
by the soldiers and furnished testimony to
sustain their opinion. The Constitutional
League, representing the soldiers denies
tIldt lut SHbbNIilS NdS tloilt ny lItH anu
assert that it was done by the citizens of
Brownsville disguised in cast-off uniforms
of the troops and provided with exploded
shells from the government ranges, who
committed this outrage for the purpose of
casting odium on the troops of Fort Brown.
One of these two propositions must be
proved, for general negatons are of no
use here.
1T will be the duty of the committee
under this resolution to take all possible
testimony and decide whether this shoot
ing was done by the soldiers or by citizens
of Brownsville. This is the question of
fact. In il is involved not only the inno-
cence or the guilt of the soldiers. but the
Innocence or guilt of the inhabitants of
Brownsville. for If they did the shooting,
as charged by the Constitutional League,
they were engaged in plot to ruin inno
cent men and did not shrink from murder
to carry that plot into successful execution.
Whether the United States soldiers the
Inhabitants of Brownsville did the shooting
on the night of August II is the question
of fact. and on that, a member of the
committee and a senator | have no opinion
to express until | have heard and examined
all possible testimony.

them he would feed the increase for

Capt. f. I. Hobbs, aged 90
years, a survivor of the civil war,
died at his home in Prairie du Chen
Friday, June %. Deceased's death
was caused from an injury received
in a fall several weeks ago, at which
time it was alleged he was forced
off the sidewalk by passing
pedestrian and fell on stone
sustaining fractured hip, which,
owing to his advanced age failed to
improve. Capt. Hobbs was born in
Richmond, Va, March Is, 1915,
and his father was Cuban by birth.
He had been a resident of Prairie
du CHEN since 1865 and acted as
mail carrier between that city and
McGregor for thirteen years. He
will be remembered by many resi-.
dents Of Grant county.
John Cranage,of London Jack
fame, imbibed too freely IN the

the good resolutions for future good
behavior he had made and became
not only drunk and disorderly but
decidedly abusive. Marshal Pierce
placed him under arrest and with q
billy persuasion along with assist
ance by Night Watch Posey and
others finally landed the prisoner
in the calabOose. Yesterday morn
ing Justice Schreiner sent him to
county Jail awaiting preliminary
hearing on charge of resisting an
officer. The case is now up to Dist.
Atty. Kopp, who is at the James
town exposition on jaunt, expected
home soon, andIthe penalty Cranage
will receive if found guilty will be

or a $500 fine.
Local campers and fishermen
claim that never before since they
can remember have the mosquitoes
been so thick or pugnac1ous as they
are this season in the woods. The
wild vegetation has burst out very
suddenly this year, after being
retarded somewhat by the late
spring and the mosquitoes have also
appeared very suddenly. They
seem a great deal larger than ever
before. On the banks of the sever
al streams where the trout abide,
the mosquitoes hover around in
clouds and no preparation of even
mosquito netting seems proof
against them. They work their
way through the bars of the netting
with considerable ease and are
soon feasting away at their hearts
content on the face, arms or ankles
of some hopeless mortal. They
seem to be of different sizes in diff
ferent localities, but the general
opinion prevails that they are larger
than they Ought to be and that
their stingarees are barbed.
