ooh, san,
CAN YOU SEE?"

New orders have been sent out
from the war department as to the
manner in which the flag is saluted
when the "Star Spangled Banner
is played. Prior to three years ago
the salute was to takeoff the cap.
1t was contended that this was far
more impressive and appropriate
than the strictly military salute
that has been substituted
Under the present regulations,
when the "Star Spangled Banner" is
played on any formal occasion SOL
diers are required to stand at at
tention until the last note is
sounded. They must do the same
when a foreign national song is
being played as a compliment to an
official representative of the country
While the flag is being lowered at
retreat the band also plays the ma
tional air, and the officers and en-
listed men in the ranks face the flag,
stand at attention and render pre-
scribed salute at the last note of the
music. This is slightly changed un-
der the new orders so that the men
out of the ranks must make the
same salute.

The Spokane Spokesman-Review
published a paper of sixty-two pages
yesterday in which large space was
devoted to statistics and write-ups on
the progress of the Inland Empire
during the year 1907. While copy
of this edition should be in the
hands of every citizen of Eastern
Washington, Idaho and British Col
umbia, and would make good read
ing for people of the Mississippi ba-
sin and Atlantic coast regions, there
will be many who cannot secure
copies of the paper, and for such of
these as are among the readers of the
World we summarize the following:
Within twelve months new en-
pire comprising 363,000 acres of
hitherto untitled lands has been
practically created through the ex-
tension or completion of irrigation
projects. These do not include old
projects where the main bitches were
dug before the beginning of last year,
but in which many acres were actu-
ally watered for the first time during
1907. The projects included in the
estimates are: Plantations, on the
Columbia at Meyers Falls, Wash,
1920 acres; Dalton Gardens, Hay

LAS Told in the Hills" one of the
theatrical attractions Of
the season, will come to the Wenat-
chez Theatre Saturday, Jan. 4. Tne
principal character is that of PAM
nena, the daughter of an Indian chief
wh>r7o was adopted by an emigrant
and his wife and reared as their own
child. The character is regarded as
one of the strongest and most inter-
esting that has been created in any
melodrama, showing as it does the
inuences of education and refinement
on a typical child of nature who has
inherited all the strong characteris-
tics of her Indian father and mother.

this occasion the gentlemen served

The interest in the straw vote be-
ing taken this week by the Daily
World and the Weekly Advance in
creases daily. The first day of the
week showed Hughes star in the
ascendancy. The second day Taft
forged to the front. The past two
days have been marked by the num-
ber of democrats who have appar-
emily organized to give their man the
compliment of a straw vote from this
section.
Swarm of Democrats.
A whole swarm of democrats float
ed into the office of the World bright
and early this morning.
A feature of today's voting was the
number received by mail and over
the telephone. The majority OF
these were for Taft. Bryan, how
ever, held the lead of those who call

CLASSIC TTRKEHTAN.

Some notable gaps in history and in historic
geography promise 10 be filed IN a most inter
eSting manner through the independent re-
searches of Dr Stein and Dr. LeCoq in
Turkestan and in that vast region which is
known 10 Us as Eastern Turkestan. but 10 the
Chinese as the Western Kingdoms There are
few regions Of the world SO extensive and 50
closely adjacent to the great historic empires
which have been more neglected or have been
/ regarded as SO little likely to yield valuable
results to archaeological Investigators Still.
there are Chinese records Of a powerful people

built vast walled cities and had rich mines OF

cant aiusions in the shah Nameh' to the
Chinese allies of the Turanian kings.

SPEAKING BY THE CARP,

One of the most interesting of the maH! III
teresting reports which have been MADE re
Gently by New Jersey state officials deals largely
with the exercise of the electoral franchise both
at the polls and in primary elections. The P1
listing systems il says. are marked WIN Se'iouN
abuses which impair the integrity Of popular
elections and also Of party organizations Inc
manner in which the official paper ballot Is per
mitted 70 he used affords opportunity TOT DIT
berry which despite legislative penallzat"n' Is
limited only by the financial ability or lnchha
ton of the bribegiver.
AS for the primaries, they are worse still. IN
large cities particularly those adjacent I"
neighhorng states-such as Camden and Jer
soy Citv-prfmaries are packed with outsiders.
and there and elsewhere it is common prac
tice for men to vote at the primaries OF the op
nosite party. It is imperative says this re
mort that such evils shall he checked It is the
duty of the state to safeguard the primary
elections to provide rules for party organlza-
ton and 10 prescribe tests of eligibility for
membership The abuses in the control of party
organizations in recent years have caused the
rise of a pronounced sentiment in favor Of party
and primary reform. The report therefore
urges that Ia " he enacted compelling the cleo
ton Of party organization officers at primary
elections under state control.
These statements and recommendations are
all interesting and suggestive But their su-
prene interest lies in the fact that they are
contained in the annual report Of the Secretary
of State of New Jersey. the Hon. Samuel II.
Dickinson. of Jersey city and Hudson County.

CONCRETE EE1NPLE.

To die for ones country may be sweet and
glorious, when there is occasion for it. but uu-
der any other conditions enjoyment of the
luxury OF martyrdom can hardly he called COM
mendabe. Yet even In these material days
there are persons so imbued with the spirit Of
the martyrs that they offer themselves Willingly
on the little altar they have erected to some
cause. On general principles it may be as
sumed that to those possessed by this sort Of
incnation the martyrdom seems more impor-
tant than the principle. and there is always
lack of sympathy for the men who. like some
Of the ascetics Of less enlightened lands hold
their hands in one position until they become
rigid or perform other remarkable but equally
useless fcats The instinct OF martyrdom how
ever iS more often displayed in the tendency
illustrated by tho eminent humorist who an
nounced his willingness 10 sacrifice ali his wife's
relatives to his country. and hy the stole who
advises somebody else to 60 straight 10 the
dentist and have that tooth pulled.
The case of thea single taXer' who eyincei
his willingness to sacrifice himself which
probably he had right to do; and his wife
who seemed to he willing TO accept her sha re
of the martyrdom: and his children. who had
Il far greater claim upon him than the alb
stract cause for which he labored. is a combina-
ti0n of the two forms Of sacrifice. He could not
only ignore the calls of his physical being
pIeadnGs of his children. not for the millennium
or for balanced land culture. but for something
10 eat In contemplation of the claims of hu-
manity in general. from his point Of view he ig
nored the claims which his children. from every
point of view had upon him, forgetting that if
every one first looked we'll after his own bust
ness the necessity for looking after the inter
ests of others would decrease at a wonderfully
rapid rate.
1t is this principle, illustrated by the single
tax writer who covered reams of paper with
matter which few cared 10 read. which leads
many persons who are willing 70 be convinced
that there is something radically wrong with
our economic system 10 align themselves with
the conservatives. Theoretically socialism is
delightful State of affairs and TO have all of us
looking after the affairs of all the rest of us
divides the responsibility completely that
mankind might be disposed 10 look kindly upon
the scheme IT not for common observa-
tiOn Of the fac, that most Of those strongest in
their advocacy of an equal share of everything
for all men display the least capacity for look
ing after any share OF anything
