Difficulty Between Line and
Staff Will Then Be.
Thrashed Out.
BR0WNSON'S SIDE is WITHHELD
President Roosevelt VIII Not Give
Out the Statement of
the Admiral.
Only Change in Executives Mind or 6
Congressional Investigation
Will Show All the Facts
in the Case.

Washington, Dec. 27.-Not since the
days preceding the passage of the per
sonnel law ten years ago has the feel
ing between the line and staff of the
navy been so acute is it is today as
the result of the refusal of Admiral
Brownson to transmit orders from his
superior officer, the president of the
United States, assigning a naval sur
seOn to command a vessel in the navy
In the case Of the personnel act it
was Mr.. Roosevelt, then assistant sec
retary of the navy, who acted the part
of pacificator and succeeded in bring
ing the two warning factions togethec
in support of the legislation which for
n decade past through a make-shift,
has served to maintain peace between
the two factions in the navy.
Break in Ranks Is Feared.
In the present instance, however, the
efforts of the president to reconcile
the surgeons and the line officers has
failed, and it is probable that the
whole controversy will be thrashed
out on its merits in congress.
This is much deprecated by CON
servative officers in both line and staff,
as likely to prove perjudicial TO the
navy's interest as a whole, for they
believe that in order to succeed in Sc
curing from congress the four great
battleships, the cruisers, scouts and
1JNY,, al, ~
years naval estimates, in addition to
securing legislation that will better the
lot of naval officers personally, the
navy must present a united front,
-..a ECt be done if just at the
beginning of session, line and staff
are to engage in a fierce strife.
Through the published statement Of
Surgeon General Rixey, the merits of
the doctors side of the case in this in
stance have been clearly set forth.
Line officers believe that in common
fairness they should also have a hear
Ing. But they are in an embarrassing
position in that respect.
Can Not Defy President.
Admiral Brownson preceded his res
ignatlon by cold, clear and logical
presentation of the reason why he OBJ
tected to the assignment of a physi-
clan to command a naval ship, even
though that vessel were exclusively de
voted to hospital uses.
The statement was submitted to the
president and, Notwithstanding the
staff has had its say IN print, applica-
tons at the White House for this let,
ter are met with refusal. Now it is
clearly impossible for Admiral Brown
ION or any of his line officers to make
public copy of the letter without in
curing the risk of q court-martial on
charges of disrespect toward their su-
perior officer, the president of the Uni
ted States.
SO they can only look for a change
IN the executive mind or for the con-
gressional investigation, which will de-
yeloned all the facts

THE MARKETS
Chicago Grain.

Chicago, Dec. 2G.
Following were the quotations on
the Chicago Board of Trade today:
The Newark journal. (Newark, Ark.) 1901-1959, 1907-09-06

Rev. DR.. Dye of Searcy filled
the Methodist pulpit here Sunday,
holding three services, morning,
afternoon and night. 1t is unneces-
sary to say that he preached some
good sermons, for he never
breaches any other kind. There
was one addition to the church,
Miss Bessie Adam, joining at the
night service.
The Confederate penson board,
at recent meeting at Little Rock,
prorated the state pension fund to
the various pensioners throughout
the state. Each pensioner will
only receive 46 per cent of the
amount allowed, as there are not
sufficient funds to pay the full
amount. The Confederate pen
sioners in Independence county
will receive total of 1925.
The amount for some of the near
by counties are as follows: lizard,
S12, 725; Jackson, So, 1856; Law
renee, IS, 2o9; Sharp, S10,525;
Stone, $4,650; White, $19,475.
The place that gives man his
living is entitled to the best efforts
to advance everything calculated
to benefit the place and the com
munity. No man has a right to
live in a town who seeks to enrich
himself alone, and who will not
actively identify himself with its
interests. To be classed as a
drone, or chronic kicker, and OPP
posed to every measure believed
to be for the good of the citizens,
is stigma that should attach to
no man in any town. The i'm
provements necessary to be made
and the manner of making them
monument to the enterprise and
intelligence of the citizens is the
duty each person owes to the place
in which he lives.
