the army today. Last year four Of
ficers resigned within three months
after leaving the Military Academy.
This was considered an unusually
large number and was partly respon
sible for Mr.. Talt's telling this years
graduates that the War Department
expected them to stay In the army.
Ii was therefore rather unexpected
that Lieut.. Ayres would have so little
difficulty in getting his resignation
accepted. Apparently the War De-
partment is not going to stand on the
letter of the law which binds a lieu
tenant TO serve eight years from the
time of entering West Point.
In the early part of the last century
there was different feeling about
designations of graduates. There was
so little chance for promotion because
of the absence Of a retired list that
many officers resigned. A classic
example of this is afforded by the
class OF 1881. which had some dis
tinguished officers in IL and number
ed in all thirty-three graduates With

twenty-three of that years class had

SHOW
DOWN AT
CAPITOL

Washington, ID. c., May 14-(Special
letter to The SentineD-As this ses
sion OF Congress nears its end, there
is presented in the National House of
Representatives the funniest situation
that possibly ever obtained in this
country in the history of the Congress.
Here are the democrats filibustering
every day to compel the Republicans
to do something that the Democrats
say is necessary legislation and de-
manded by the people, and yet, if the
Democrats succeeded in making the
Republicans do the things they say
they want done, the inevitable result
will be to help the Republicans before
the country.
At the same time the Republicans
are in bad hole with the sides coop
ed and no ladder in sight They are
demoraliZed by the demands of a
number of thousand Republican news
papers that they forthwith place wood
pulp and print paper on the free list
in order to rescue from the rapacity
OF the paper trust. There is no doubt
that the Republican leaders would
comply with the demands short order
If they thought the thing would stop
there, but there's the rub. 1t would
not stop there. II would just begin.
Passing the Stevens bill to place wood
pulp and print papers on the free list
would be special legislation in behalf
OF a class.
The American people are intelligent
enough to see and note that and some
inquisitive farmer might be guilty of
an tmpertinence like this:-"H How
about my plows and hoes. gear and
trace chains? You put paper on the
free list for the publishers why not
farm machinery for me?"
And thus, the Republican majority
in the House is in this ihtolerable fix:
I'VE can and we can't.
We will and we won't;
Well be damned If we do.
And we'll be damned if we don't"
The Democrats insist on pulling the
Republican chestnuts out of the fire,
and the Republicans fling them aside
and curse their ill-mannered and i'm
pertinent officiousness 1t is "a very
funny situation. but the Democrats
are not without some method in the
madness of their filbuster. They know
that if they can force the Republicans
to put wood pulp and print paper on
the free list that it will open up the
entire tariff question and that the
Republicans never will get away from
here during the entire summer, and
that revision OF the tariff during a
presidential campaign would rip the
Republican party up the back as wide
as barn door would make the next
president Democratic and also the
next House of Representatives.
That is what is soaring the Repub-
licans to death and making Demo-
cratic smiles here at the present time
s.x. -, t.vt1 4, No
free print paper and no free wood
pulp at this session. The Republican
leaders rely on the esprit de corps of
the party papers to hold them in line
and keep them from bolting and they
are not without some justification in
their belief. What a pity that Demo-
Gratis do not stand together in election
years like their opponents We should
take few lessons from our oppon
ents and fight The devil with fire.
