will interest the entire national guard.
Everyone believes that the national
guard and the army should be armed
with the same weapons as far as pos
Sible, but in the absence OF legisla-
tion it was thought out of the Ques-
ton to arm the militia in time for
adequate practice with the New
Springfield Consequently. if that
weapon had been adopted it might
have been charged that certain states
which are equipping themselves with
it, had been unduly favored. The ar
my is using it but it has been DEM
Qnstrated that it can also shoot the
.kras with accuracy. 1t was there
fore thought best to use the krag in
the matches this year.
The ruling to admit ammunition OF
private manufacture will be very
pleasing to most marksmen as it will
give them a choice hitherto inhibited.
The board has always held that so
far as ammunition and weapons are
concerned. service conditions should
prevail. but as the government is pu.-
chasing some ammunition from pri-
.vate manufacturers in the United
States which will be used in target
practice: as in time OF war. this am
;nunitiou would De very extensively
used by cur troops. it should be ad-
mitted i'll the national matches. Ma
turaliy the teams wish TO use In prac-
,tca the ammunition they will shoot
in the matches and the fact that gov
ernment ammunition exclusively was
used in these matches prevented them
from buying much ammunition for
outside practice: AZ the same time rs
any ammunition was admitted to near
" every other match, some OF the
nlarksnlen were using different makes
CT ammunition Al different times to
the confusion OF many. Finally the
board thought that manufacturers
who prepared the necessary machin-
cry. TO furnish ammunition in time OF
war. should be encouraged by being
given something OF a market in time
or peace. Those desiring to shoot
private ammunition in the national
matches will therefore notify the wal
department prior to March Is, speci-

rounds wanted for preliminary prac-
tice. which vii! be issued and charg-
ed against the states appropriation,

Associated Press to The Evening Times.
Washington, d. c., Feb. 1.-THE de-
cision of the National Board for the
Promotion of Rifle Practice to hold
the next annual matches on the Ohio
state range, at Camp Perry, on Lake
Erie, has met with substantially un-
animous approval. The matches will
begin August 26, and will be preceded
by the matches OF the National Rife
association which will begin. probab-
ly on August 10. All matches will
be shot with the Krag rifles. and the
board ruled that any machine-made
ammunition manufactured in this
country will be admissible under GER
tain conditions.
There was considerable discussion
of the place of holding the matches,
but no difference of opinion. The
board held that as far as possible the
matches should be shot in different
parts of the country where suitable
ranges could be procured. At least
forty-tive targets should be available
at each range, and the Ohio range will
have fifty. General Crithfield assur-
ed the board the contracts had all
been let and the range would be COM
pleted by May 1. The question OF
whether the matches OF the National
Rifle association should precede or
follow the national match shot under
the auspices OF the national board has
been subject of discussion among
rifiemen since the last match at Sea
Girt. There has been some COM
plant from team captains that when
the National Rife association match
,es come first they must enter them
or their teams dc not get practice.
AT the same time i. is realized that
If the National Rifle association match
es are shot last the attendance would
not be nearly so good. 1t was there
fore decided that the National Rifle
association matches should come first
but that during the two days immedi-
ately preceding the national matches
the range should be open TO prelm-
mary team practice by teams entered
for the national match. Team cap
tains will notify the executive officer
at what ranges and times they de-
sire to practice and arrangements will
be made accordingly. The matches
OF the Ohio State Rifle association
will be held about the same time.

used instead OF the New Springfield

(By A. j, BentOn,)

Washington, Feb 14.-What will the
know the facts regarding the salary
bill put through congress this winter?
After much talking and scheming the
salaries of senators and representa-
.tives were raised from $4,000 to
$500; reason, advanced cost Of liv-
ing. This reason is sufficient, for not
only are the members of congress
held up on every turn, but the cost
OF living in Washington-already too
hish-has advanced at least so per
cent in the last two years. But does
this increase settle the matter?
1t is generally thought that the
government pays enormous salaries.
This is not the case. The workers in
the departments who are in the pub
lie eye are the petty chiefs of d.
visions, who receive from $500 to
s2,400 a year. There is in each dl-
vision an average Of about five clerks
who receive from $1,000 to $500 d
year, and from 80 to 100 who receive
from $3.50 to $1,000. The average sal
airy, taking in all the high-prlced en-
Dloyes, is less than s1,100 per year.
Now the question is. Will congress
give to the workers OF the federal
government proportionate raise in
salary to their own, or even any
raise at all. A goodly share of the
members of congress live at boarding
houses or 81 day hotels, and some
have been SO cheap" as to sell to
local book dealer the volumes of gov
ernmental publications contained in
their quota. Some Hire their clerks
for $50 or $75 month and put the
balance of the allowance of 500 per
month in their pocket Others put

Washington. D. c.. Feb. l4.-Twice
within the past week have the flags
on the capitol building been half
masted. This ceremony announces the
death of member of congress, and is
usually followed by the adjournment
for the day of the house of which the
deceased was member. Several Sun
days in each session are devoted to
eulogies of those who have passed to
the great beyond, and the reputation
of some congressman, indeed, depend
more for eloquence on their Sunday
efforts than any other official action
they may take.

not know that the two elections
in which he took part were the most
corrupt ever held in the state of New
York, then he is not fitted for the Of
flee of poundmaster. He has spent
approximately one million dollars in
his efforts to get some Office, not
counting the amounts expended on his
newspapers co, and here he comes
out with bill to prevent corrupt
practices!
Every once in while Washington
is afflicted with visit from "promin-
ent suffragists are always pro-
minent-and every avenue of promise
has been raked over time and time
again to give their followers run
for their money" 1t is highly in
structive to note the number of pro
minent" people who are advocating
something or other, and you will find
that their names are either attached
to a high-sounding title or an office
yielding substantial income.
