Rurro Drivers Carry Candles.

In Mexico all vehicles, be they
handcart, automobile, or anything be-
tween, must carry light at night
This rule or law is rigidly enforced.
Even the drivers OF the poor little
burro or mule carts, on their two
wheels, must carry light.
SO, rather than buy lanterns, which
cost money, they take a dip candle,
and wrapping It in a bit OF newspa-
per to shield 1t from the wind, carry
II in their left hand as they drive
along homeward from work after
evening has fallen. The effect is
striking, as the light, falling strongly
on the Indian driver, throws the face
of the man into strong relief against
the darkness.

WASHINGTON LETTER

Washington, Jan. 14.-The resig-
nation of the craftsmanship of the
Republican National COMMITTEES by
Postmaster General Cortelyou leaves
Vice Chairman Harry S. New at the
head of the Committee and it is not
probable that another chairman will
be elected until after the next Repub-
lican National Convention or at least
until the meeting of the Committee
about a year honce to determine the
time and place for holding the Nat
ional Convention. Some efforts haye
been made to make it appear that the
question of whether Mr.. New should
act as chairman of the Committee or
a new chairman should be elected in
yolyed in some way the fortunes of
aspirents for the next Presidential
nomination. This is not true for the
reason that the Craftsmanship of the
Committee between campaigns is a
mere empty honor. After the candi-
date has been nominated in 1908 the
craftsmanship of the Committee will
be entrusted to the man selected by
him.

SPECIAL NOTICE.
THE PRESIDENTS PRER0GATIVE

In the course of little while the
country will know whether Congress
considers that the President was with
in his rights in discharging the MEM
bers of the 25th infantry who were
dishonorably mustered out of serylce.
This is one of the finest opportunities
that the opponants of the Administra-
tion in Congress have had to make a
personal fight on the President, thinly
yelled under the show of a regard for
law and facts. The President has
strong defenders on the floor of both
the House and the Senate and by the
time the contest is oyer the Senate in
particular will know that there has
been a fight in its neighborhood. Two
points can be raised, one of law, and
the other of fact AS Senator Lodge
says there is no question that there
was shooting at night on the streets IN
Brownsville. the fact that remains to
be determined is whether it was the
soldiers who did the shooting, or citi-
zens of Brownville disguised as sold
iers. There was one man killed, an
other so badly wounded that his arm
had to be amputated, and another had
his horse shot under him, narrowly
escaping death. An investigation on
the ground may and ought to bring
out whether it was the citizens, will
ing to stop not even at murder, who
did the shooting in order to cast dis
grace upon the soldiers, or whether it
was the soldiers themselves who are
guilty. The President will be per-
fectly willing to see this point of fact
settled if it can be settled, but about
the law in the case, there is absolutely
no question. The President is the
Commander-in-C Chief of the army and
as such he can enlist and dismiss sold
iers at pleasures. Senator Lodge in
his defense of the President had arm
ed himself with multitude of pre-
cedents in this line and showed con-
.clusiyely that it was always the COM
mander-in-chief's prerogative in
every cline and country to dismiss
soldiers or whole regiments of them If
he deemed it for the good of the ser
vice or the public. Senator Lodge
pointed out that an enlistment was a
contract terminable not at the option
of the soldier, but of the commander
of the army who employed him. This
has been held true innumberable
times, and if it were not true there
would be no salty for the country
could an armed regiment be retained
in its place on the rolls in defiance OF
its superior officer. The attorney Gen
eral, the Constitutional League an6
any one else who wishes to investi
gate the affair may discover all the
facts they choose about who actually
did the shooting. But about the
Presidents right to dismiss as many
companies or regiments as he chooses
it would seem from Senator Lodge.
statement there can be no question
whatever.

The annual report of the Panama
Railroad for the year ending June 30,
1906, which has been sent to Con-
gress by Secretary Taft is an illustra-
ton on small scale of what might
be expected if Mr.. Bryan's PROPOSE
tion for the ownership and operation
of the railroads of the United States
by the government should be adopted.
This report shows that, notwithstand-
ing very large increase in the
amount of revenue freight handled,
there was a decrease in earnings over
operating expenses of $435, 1857, and
that the net earnings for the year
amounted to only $322,SSl. All these
net earnings, however, were required
for improvements, and the company
drew on the United States Treasury
for $450,000 additional to be expended
in the same way, so that the net re-
suit of the operation of the road for
one year by the government was a
charge on the tax payers of the coun-
try of nearly half a million dollars
and this on road that paid hand
some dividends under private man.
agement. The Panama Railroad is
an example of government ownership
under the most fayorable condition:
for the President, Secretary Taft, anC
the Canal commission have all en-
deavored to obtain high degree o
efficiency in the service. The repor
shows that even under such condi
tions government operation is a fail
ure, and if this short line of road
with no intricate operating problems
costs the government $450;COO yea
more than it earns it is impossible tt
