to keep sedentary army officers in condi-

fine things. What able-bo1ed civilian
does not envy the two majors of the pay
corps who have Just completed their an
nual sortie out of Fort Sheridan, despite
the stone bruises and lameness and a
dash of rainy weather? Who would not
exchange three days in the office for
tramp over autumn canopied highways?
When the sedentary civilian does get an

The Origin of "Hurrah. "
rom the Baltimore Sun.

Fl OIn the BaItlInOre sun.
The word is pure Slavonian, and is
commonly heard from the coast of Dali
malta to Boring straits. when any of the
population living within these limits is
called on to give proof of courage and
valor. The origin of the word belongs to
the primitive idea that every man that
dies heroically for his country goes
straight 10 heaven-Hu-ray ito paradisel
and in the shock and ardor of battle the
combatants utter that cry, as the Turks
do that of Allah each animating HIM
self by the gertrude of immediate recon-
pense to forget earth and to condemn
death.

IF WE PUBLISHED ALL.

Every editor and publisher in the
country. says Newspaperdom, knows
there is well full of truth in the
following defense of the newspaper
which contemporary publishes to
refute the oft vaunted claim that the
newspaper press is nowadays, 'prying
into everything" The average news
paper man finds out all the naughty
doings, no matter how secretly they
are planned or kept.
If the papers should publish half
the stuff they hear there would be
ten divorces where there is now one.
There would be social ostracism of
many who now shine in upperdom
There would be shotgun matinees,
lynching bees, hatchet parties, gore,
Imprisonment, desolation and misery
The editor learns nearly all hypoc-
risy of life and it's a wonder he be
lieves in man, woman, witch or the
devil, in heaven or hell.
Many people continually find fault
with newspapers, when as matter
of fact they owe their very standing
in the community to the editorial
waste basket.

conditional pardon to Dan Delaney.

Denver. who was recently sent to jail
for six months for the attempted
murder of G. II. Toncree. Governor
Buchtel gave as his reason for par

to from now on "be good" The gov
ernor also requests this in the name
OF the young mans grandmother, his
mother and also for himself, the gov
ernor. Some months ago young De-
laney, who is the son of eN-Chief of

the morning. There was girl in the
case and both young men wanted the
girl Trouble followed and Toncree
was shot Delaney claimed self-de-
fense. but was convicted and given
