BOSTON, Aug. 17.-At the conclusion of
today's maneuvers in the war game in
which the Army of the Red under Brigadier
General Tasker H. Bliss IS striving to de-
feat the Army of the Blue COMMANDED by
Brigadier General William a. Pew. jr., and
capture Boston, the Army Of the Red had
made material advance and unless Gen
eral Pew or the defenders can concentrate

massed heavily on the Blues left General
Pew faces defeat
The two armies tonight are less than
a dozen miles apart. General Pcw's quar-
ters are still at Robbins Pond, within six
miles of Bridgewater. While General Bliss
has made a material advance from a point
eight miles southeast of Middleboro, where
his headquarters were last night, to Eddy
Vile, which is some eight miles northeast
of Middleboro.
Plan of General Bliss.
From the general direction of the move

the strength Of his command, the plan
which he intends to follow TO capture Bos-
ton is apparently revealed for the firs.
time This is to annihilate General Pews
extreme left and to pass that end with
comparatively clear road TO Boston. But
for the fact that the hour Of l o'clock,
when both armies ceased operations for the
day, arrived a trlfle too soon, the plan
would have been emineutly successful to-
day. AS it is unless General Pew can sup
port his second brigade Of infantry com
prising the Fifth, Eighth and Ninth egi-

Colonel William II. Donovan, which is the

movement today was one Of a settled plan,
with which every organization was appar-

LAWS FOR HOTEL KEEPERS

UNIFORMITY IS GREATLY DESIRED
State Legislation should He Even and

Suffer Because of the
Bad Ones.

The general trend Of papers and discus
sions at the hotel mems meeting Tuesday
morning was the vagaries of excise and
hotel legislation and the effect these
measures have upon hotels in all parts OF
the United States.
John j. Bohn of Chicago editor Of the
Hotel World, read an elaborate paper on
this subject, in which he took the ground
that 1t is the greatest question now before
the hotel men. He spoke OF the Brooks
hotel law Of Pennsylvania, which is the
result of a conference between tho hotel
men and a number Of the best lawyers %
the Keystone state, whereby the most sat
isfactory hotel law in the United States
has been evolved. At present, outside OF
the state Of Pennsylvania, the hotel man
were at the mercy and caprice Of innum-
cradle state, county and municipal laws
and there is practically no uniformity.

so complex are these laws that they
are a travesty on law and good govern
ment," said Mr.. Bohn. in many instances
they have resulted in the destruction of
business. There seems to be no possibility
Of relief from excise legislation except by
federal legislation. The same principles

enactment as in the pure food laws and
postal laws and thus secure the protection
of uniformity. If prohibition is to come, 1t
is better that 1t shall come in all the
states"
He suggests that hotel men of the country
unite on all these questions and thus Sc
cure uniformity OF hotel laws He did noe
believe that reputable hotels should be
made TO suffer because of the defiance OF
law by disreputable saloons and disreput-
able hotels and that the hotel which is
the domicile of the travelling public is
entitled to better excise law than the
saloon or dramshop.
Combines for Protection.
Rome Miller of Omaha read a paper
along similar lines, urging that the hotel
men get together for mutual protection.
He spoke OF the laws OF the Nebraska leg

Charity And Publicity

In the address OH The Secular Press
as Missionary Agency" by the Right
Rev. Bishop Scadding OF the Episcopal
church of Oregon, delivered at Spokane
the bishop stated many pertinent truths
concerning the Use and abuse of the
press by the ministry. Here is one of
the points he makes:
1T is IA said fact that the churches
sponge more free advertising from the
local press than all the other agencies
combined are able to do. I do not
mean in the nature Of church services,
but the gratuitous advertising of
churchly activities that are innocent
enough i'll themselves. hut which as
they are conducted solely from a de-
cuniary motive, have no more claim To
gratuitous notice than the business of
the baker and thu butcher. Yet the
local editor is expected to make con
trihutions Of the only commodity that
he has to sell. publicity every time
the church dips into business. Ac-
cordingly, to the question of how can
| we use the local press. would say use
it right; don't ride II free hDrss too
| hard"
We commend the closing words of
Bishop Scadding to the Elko churches
as there is at least one editor in Elko
that feels that he has been ridden too
hard, and has made up his mind to
draw the line between free church ad.
vertising and advertising to put money
into the pockets of some outside party.
To illustrate what we are driving at
we direct attention to Rhythm Idyls"
and "Thc Toymaker's Dream" presented
To the people Of Elko few weeks ago
in the interest of the Elko churches.
The praise of this actress was sung in
these columns nearly every day for two
weeks or more and the people were
urged to attend the entertainments
This paper received nothing for it's
work, while she drew down Il large per
ccntage of the net receipts.
The INDEPENDENT has always treat
ed the churches literally and will con.
tinue to do SO, hut it does not propose
hereafter to give away its space for the
purpose of putting money into the
pockets of some stranger who works
through the churches. Where the en-
tcrtainmcnts arc by local people and
the churches get the entire benefit. the
old rule Of free advertising, within
reasonable limits. will prevail hut
where starnger shares in the profits
advertising in these columns must be
paid for.

Man-A Hindoo Myth

When the Creator, after much con-
sideration, determined to make man,
He used earthly materials almost en-
! tirely-including the strength of the OK,
the stubbornness of the mule, slice of
pig, II portion of the ape, the ferocity
of the tiger, the courage of the lion, the
fangs of the wolf, the vanity of the
blue-jay, the strut of the turkey, the
slyness of the fox, the selfishness of the
cat, the wisdom of the serpent, the
tail feathers of the hawk, the foam of
the sea, the granite from the hills, II
little clay, a dash of fire, a great thirst
and a breath of wind.
He blended the compound in a slow
oven and presented it in due course to
the woman who. Notwithstanding the
records TO rhe contrary, had been made
first.
On the second day the woman came
and said:
20 Lord, this creature is hard to hold
! and difficult to understand, and he
causes me far more trouble than he is
worth. Every day he fays my soul,
and he lacks spiritual perception"
Then the Lord again took man and
passed him through the fire to reduce
him to his primal elements, and to the
mixture He added spark of divine fire,
Il dash of humor, a mOdicum of pride,
grain or two of pity, together with Il
ton of jealousy and abundant greed
Then again He presented the newly
shaped being to the woman, who, ere
long, returned to the presence of the
Creator and said:
Lord l must ask Thee to set me in
garden by myself or place the man
Thou gavest me in strict seclusion: for
he says that he loves me, yet he mis-
trusts me. His desires are his inspira-
tions, and he soon grows tired and be.
comes tiresome. He believes in words
rather than in deeds, and his head in
creases rs his heart diminishes."
The Lord was exceedingly angry. and
taking the woman by the hand and the
man by the neck, thrust them without
the garden, saying unto them:
II did the best / could for you when
1 created You. Now, go ye outside and
solve the problem for yourselves.
And they are still endcavoring to do
so.-The Scrap Book.
