AN OLD SONG.


Forty-six years ago the last week in
June eighteen northern governors
united in requesting President Lin
coin to make a call for snch addi-
tional troops as would supply all the
losses of the war up to that time from
death, disability, discharge, desertion
and all other causes. In response to
this the president made his famous
call for 800, 900 volunteers. The call
inspired a New York banker. James
Sloan Gibbons, to write song that
proved pillar of fire to the North
and source of depression and dis
may to the forces in rebellion. Hero
Is the first stanza Of the famous song ::
If you look all up our valleys, where
the growing harvests shine,
You may see our sturdy farmers boys
fast forming into line;
And the children at their mothers
knees are pulling at the weeds,
And learning how to Ireap and SOW
against their couutry's needs.
And a farewell group stands weeping
now at every cottage door
We are coming, Father Abraham,
three hundred thousand more.

Taft Not Responsible for
DISCHARGE of Neuro Soldiers

President Roosevelt, in statement
issued late last night, made it clear
that the entire responsibility for the
original order dIscharging the battal-
ion of negro soldiers for alleged
participation in the Brownsville,
Texas, rioting, and the refusal TO
permit suspension of that order,
was his. The president was shown the
Washington interview with Gen.
Henry G.. Corbin, u. $. A., in which
General Corbin said that no credit or
blame in the matter rested with Mr.
Taft. After reading the interview the
president gave out the following:
"General Corbin s statement is abso-
lutely correct, ana 1t was sentirely
proper that he should make it. The
substance of the message from the
president, which he quoted. was made
public long ago. In the Brownsville
matter the entire responsibility for
issuing the original order and for de-
clining to allow its suspension was
the presidents. - In his interview
General Corbin said, IN substance,
that Mr. Taft was in no way RESPONSE
ble for the order discharging the
battalion of the 18th infantry, and
that in doing SO the then secretary Of
war obeyed the direct order of the
president General Corbin then re-
counted the circumstances of the dis
charge.

that back fire should not he started
within 90 feet of the fire line or that
he or the rangers attempted to en-
force any such regulation. On the
contrary there is no limit to the dis

of them is in the discretion of the
officer in charge and that it would be
sbsured to fix any distance in which
to start them, in a broken country
covered with heavy timber. He
claims that some of the fires started
by his orders we're a mile in advance

The Methodsts of Redding, this
state, have paid the Rev. DR.. j. W.
Phelps, a former pastor of the Jack
son church, high compliment and
asked for his return 90 the pastorate
of the church there for the third
time. Doctor Phelps was for three
years pastor of the Nevada City
Methodist church and during his ad-
ministration of the pastorate proved
to be one of the ablest preachers and
executives ever sent here. From
Nevada City he went to Oroville and
from Oroville to Redding. At the
quarterly conference held recently at
Redding, at which district superin-
tendent Evans presided, it was de-
clded to ask Doctor Phelps to re-
turn for the third time. The church

Thomas A. Edison, inventor, is 81
years old, and says be Is going to
take rest; travel some, and indulge
in some studies in pure science,
without thought of commercial gain.
For years Edison has been great
worker, perhaps the greatest the
country has known in the matter of
hours and application, and he has
few equals in results, taken one way
and another. There are plenty Of
Jicher men, although Edison has a
handsome fortune, but he has given
the world some wonderful inventions,
and that is part of success: the
work done as we'll as the compensa-
tion. Possibly the studies in pure
science will take the place of his
accustomed efforts, but while clearly
entitled to a rest, 1t is sure that Edi-
son has the work habit too strong to
make much of a success as a loater.

DOUBT ABOUT FREE WATER.
Water Commissioners Have Deci-
sion in Regard to Service.

It u not certain that the city coun-
cilmen and other unsalaried officers
will get free water after all, as pro-
vided BY the council resolution Friday,
evening. Mayor Rice says be will
not accept II hit goes through. He
further says that though he did not
object when the resolution was
adopted he did NOT personally APP
prove OF it and had 50 expressed him-
ito members Of the council previously
The water commission, moreover, is
the deciding authority on the disposi-
tion Of water and it is not likely that
II will give the councilmen free water
unless positively ordered to do so.
The city is already paying the
house telephone rental for the coun-
cilmen and others. Under City At
torney Crawford's ruling regarding
voting free water it is not clear how
the free telephone can be justified
legally though no one believes that
q councilman is over paid. The sensi-
BILE way would be to make regular
payment Of fixed sum per meeting
to be paid when present and not paid
when absent. The statutes, however,
provide that the salary Of the council
men, mayor, ETC., shall be one dollar
year and that this shall not be ex-
ceeded.
The telephone service is perhaps in
the nature Of necessity as frequently
the councilmen and officers are called
BY phone to meetings, committee ses-
sions, etc. The city hall has a free
phone under the franchise.
City Treasurer Malott has notified
the water commissioners that he sx.
poets to pay for his water service as
