UNCLE SANS WORST SENTENCE
Dismissal with Ignominy" Means the
Most Absolute Disgrace.

The severest sentence which the
United States government can inf1ict
is undoubtedly dismissal with igno-
miny," which is me.cd out to officers
of the army and navy who are guilty
of great offenses.
1t is the nearest thing to ostracism
that can be reached in the modern
state. When the sentence dismissal
with ignominy" is passed upon an of
fcer it means that his brother officers
may never speak to him again during
his life. If this officer has relative
In the service, no matter how close
the connection may be, there must
never again be communication be-
tween the two.
If it is young man who is thus
dismissed and he has father in the
army or navy, they are cut off for
ever unless the father should choose
to quit the nations service also.
And when the sentence is once
passed it is Interchangeable. A man
who simply violates the laws of the
country even to the point of trea-
son has a chance for pardon, but once
he receives the document bearing the
phrase dismissal with ign ominy," it
stands just as long as there is breath in
his body.
Even if he wishes to enlist in the
service as one of the men in the
ranks this would not be llowed When
caught he would be punished for
fraudulent enlistment
In the old days the greatest punish
ment was to cashier an officer. Then
he would be taken out before an as
sembled body of troops or sailors and
his insignia of rank would be taken
and his sword broken. Now this has
given way to a more complete method
of exposing his shame. When an OF
ficer is dismissed with ignominy'' it
is ordered by the president that no
tice shall be sent to all members of
the service and the crime and the
punishment is published in the news
papers not only around the headquar-
ters where he was last on duty, but
also in the state from which he comes
or in which he usually makes his
home.

Feminine proposals are nothing

said on good authority that Eve set
the example when she baited Adam
with an apple-or lemon, as certain
excellent authorities claim of late AS
no man ever told the truth about how
he proposed, and still less about how
the demure damsels helped him to do
it, all this must remain in obscurity.

Presidents Letters Flare Back
These are som of the reasons
l mentioned the interference of the
President in politics already, and
might add that this is the one thing
which is doing more than all others
to strengthen and consolidate the
Democratic party and to arouse re
sentiment among the Republicans
In this state | have talked with two

dent In interfering in this campaign
by the writing of his letters.
All Democrats Confident
In my experience / have never
seen the parallel OF two conditions
which are universal from the Allan
tic to the Pacific; first, every Demo
cratic politician. whether in hamlet
or metropolis, belives that Bryan is
to win; second, while in all formal
political experience, in public places
smoking compartments of railway
cars and hotel Hobbies, the Democrats
have been obliged to defend them
selves against the overbearing at
tacks of the Republicans. vet you
may travel from Boston to San Fran
cisco, from Duluth to New Orleans
and no Republican will open his
mouth in promiscuous company.
These are in my opinion simply
momentous indications OF the sweeI

In an overwhelming Democratic sue

Women Doctors.

Generally speaking "lady doctors
are not greatly In demand. There is
admittedly prejudice against them,
and, curiously enough, 1t Is nowhere
entertained more keenly than among
women themselves. AS well known
surgeon pointed out yesterday, "In
the genealogical and maternity
branches of medical science there is
certainly wide and suitable field for
fully qualified medical women, and
yet the cali for them in ordinary pri-
vate practice is practically non-ex-
lstent.
"Women generally do not seem to
have accustomed themselves to the
idea of consulting their own sex, and
it was not of course to be supposed,
nor was 1t ever anticipated, that the
services of medical women would be
requistioned by men. AS time goes
on / think that this prejudice on the
part of women against women doctors
Wilt ought to be-greatly modi-
fed, for there is no reason why wom-
en-, with the exceptional gifts that
many of them have, should not be
useful In ordinary medicinal admin
istration. On the other hand, / can
hardly think that women will ever
achieve what may perhaps call pop
ularity' as surgeons. London Tele-

A Note of Triumph.

1t is we'll to meet the tendency to
pessimisim in religion with a
Thoughtful consideration of the evil
dence on the other side. The mis-
applied energy of opponents Of the
undiluted Christian faith is, after all,
of little power when compared with
the overwhelming force of the myri-
ads of the Masters servants who,
day by day, are carrying forward the
ensign of His Kingdom. The infu-
ence of God must surely come from
God. 1t has been truly said:
I'VE discern, Notwithstanding de-
malls, the steady, onward persuasive
march of Christianity, as it perme-
ates our life and hallows culture.
I'VE cannot estimate spiritual
growth by scales and weights, but we
may compare period with period, and
one religious stage with another.
And, judged In this way, the present
time has nothing to fear. Its very
faults and abuses give no uncertain
testimony to the triumph of Christian
truth. The gay world itself has be-
gun to see that we only possess what
we possess not, what we consecrate
to others, and therefore to Christ. -
