A few editors OF republican papers
in Nebraska-and we are glad to say
that they are very few-seem to have
thought it necessary for them to apol-
ogize for the action of the republican
state committee in putting up a Taft

There is no call for any republican to
give precedence anywhere in Nebraska
to any democrat advocating Bryan. We
may be sure. hat no democratic editor
protesting to run his paper in the in
terest of Bryan will return the compli-
ment, SO the thing for the republican
editor to do is to stand up on the FIR

Several efforts have been made by people
who are interested In this or that religious

ries OF naval vessels the volumes which re-
late to their special creed or church. The
policy in both the War and Navy depart

books for the libraries at army posts and
on board naval ships, is the commercially
safe one of excluding sectarian literature.
1t is considered as having no part in libra

that were such books admitted for one or
another church there would be no line

An important decision was rendered last
week by the War department to the effect
that officers Of the army may be pro-
NOTED subject to examination in those
cases where by reason Of sickness they are
not able to present themselves before a
board Of examination 1t is held that this
condition constitutes an exigency of the
service within the meaning of section 80
of the act of February 2, 1901. This will
do much to relieve the army of such blocks

venience to the service and furnished the

vacancies recently existed in the grade

Major Henry T. Allen, Eighth cavalry,

sidered high for that class OF animal and
no contract is likely to be awarded. Spe-

ARMY GOSSIP IN WASHINGTON.
Current Events Cleaned from the
Army and Navy Register.

The chance that politics would be made
out of the award OF contract for a large
quantity of English-made khaki for use in
the Philippines has led this week to an
annulment of the order placed with for
eign houses and the announcement from
both the War department and oyster Bay
that Mr.. Taft was IN no respect RESPONSE
BILE for the transaction. The incident grew
out Of the fact that officers on duty In
the Philippines urgently recommended the
adoption of the English khaki as being
lighter and more comfortable, II not more
serviceable. than the American khaki. In
the meantime, the quartermaster generals
office as a result Of tests was able to place
an order with domestic firms for 10000
yards of khaki. which was nearly two
ounces lighter than that hitherto purchased.
This was considered as answering the needs
In all respects. The British khaki will
probably he bought for issue to the Philip
pine scouts, but the protests OF the Ameri-
can makers have led to the cancellation
of all but the minimum part of the con-
tract, which originally called for 100000
yards OF that material.

Warnock and Bennett = are in fine

If Champion Bennett is successful in
regatta he will retire on his laurels
and let others fight it out for the

main idea in giving up the rowing
game is that he would be pitted in the
championship singles next year

each hesitates at the thought of con-
testing against the other. In this

will be entered in the double SOULS

event in the singles.
There is the possibility of defeat for
Bennett this year. Durando Miller,

citation singles in Philadelphia. is a
conner who is capable of taking lot
more of a beating this year than he
did last, when Bennett, Greer and

trial congress, to be held here this fall
the call for which has just been is
sued. Nearly all of the large manufac-
turing interests Of the republic will
have representation at the congress,
and will seek to agree upon a protec-
tive tariff schedule. which will be pre-
sented to the treasury department
with a demand for it's adoption.
Under the proposed schedule, a pro-
hibitive tariff will be placed upon all
goods, now extensively manufactured
in Mexico, while reductions will be
asked upon raw materials used in
manufacture
Industrial men of Mexico claim that
during the past five years industries
have grown to such an enormous ex-
tent, including lines not thought of
previously, that the protective ideas
in the tariff schedule do not longer fit
the conditions which they were meant
to benefit. 1t is claimed that in some
cases the ends of the protective feat
ure in the national import tariff are
defeated by placing a greater burden
upon the importer of raw materials
than upon manufactured articles, be-
cause the laws were made when there
was no immediate prospects for such
manufactures while the industries pro-
ducing the raw material for export
needed protection.
