THE NEW CAPITAL.
New York Times.

New York Times.
There was a stir in Providence,
In Providence, r. /.
The flags were floating everywhere,
The banners streaming high,
The world went round Rhode Island,
Hold steady-do or diei
They're going to move the capitol
To Providence, r. l."
And men were full Of sladness,
And women cheered and sang,
The bunting tapped out proudly,
And all the church bells rang;
For was there not good reason,
The states took up the cry;
Were going to move the senate
To Providence, r. l."
And fast came news and faster
From Washington, d. c.,
Till all New England heard II
And cheered with ecstasy;
Sound loud the drum and cymbals,
Let all the banners ny,
They're going TO move the White house
To Providence, r, l."
And through the moon and sunlight,
And through the dusk and sloAm,
The cry went up and echoed;
our Nelse IL coming home.
The long fought battles ended.
His Tags arc floating high,
He's bringing us the congress
To Providence, r. l."
Three cheers" cried Peleg Potter,
Three cheers!" cried TreGdwell True
And so the cheers were echoed
Quite all the country through.
The u. s., OF Rhode Island,
It's name shall be-" they cry,
And all else shall be annSL,

A Great social triumph.

Springfield CMass.) Republican
The graciousness OF the king and queen
OF England in dining with ambassador and
Mrs. Reid at Dorchester house Friday even
ing, must be interpreted not only as a
compliment to the ambassador but TO the
great American nation. But the great
American nation has not been properly
brought up TO appreciate to the fullest
extent the attention OF their majesties.
and II is not unlikely TO see in the episode
merely another great social triumph for
the ambassadors scale OF living. Nordica

A Friendly Interc hange

as an unbiased and unselhsh laborer in
the vineyard Of reform. when. as q
matter Of fact. II you could only see
yourself as others see you you would
realize that the sole handspring Of
your attitude toward public men and
measures is the most narrow and
bigoted p~artisanship hat can be con-
ceived.
In making pretense to have been so
closely associated with Edward Rose
water in trying to do something to
check corporate control Of state and
national governments you presume
upon me having a very short memory.
While he was alive you used to feign
the same disgust with his conduct Of
The Bee that you now do with my
conduct Of 1t. You may have agreed
with my father, and once or twice
Joined with him when he undertook
co~urageously to fight abuses within his
own party, but your sympathy and
was partisan only and was
withdrawn at once al soon as he had
accomplished his purpose to bring the
people in line for the reforms he was
seeking to achieve, and he continued
his work within the republican fold.
You baited him on and applauded him
for breaking over party lines, but you
never broke over party lines yourself,
and l have copies Of articles written
by you impugning his motives and be-
laboring him in the most vicious and
uncalled for language. You were
willing to help him only when demo-
Gratis were to be benefciaries, Blu
never when he or other republicans
were to be deservedly recognized or
honored.
/ need not go back SO far to show
up another example Of your hide
bound p~artisanship. Only last fall
you yourself sought the democratic
nomination for congress in your dis
trict and proved conclusively that the
sole claim which your opponent had to
preferment was the CHECK book"
which he drew upon so lavishly. And
yet, after the check book had tri-
umphed over the popular will, did you
keep up the fight upon c%orrupting
wealth? oh, no., you turned around,
and because the pill was suSar-coated
with Organism you shut your eyes and
held your nose and swallowed It with
a brave effort to look pleasant.
And, therefore. dear Edgar, while l
am always glad to have your advice as
to how The Bee should be run, you
will pardon me II I express the fear
that l could never make it satisfy you
unless l changed its politics completely
and converted It into a dyed-in-the-
wool democratic organ ~applauding
everything ~emanating from Mr.. Bryan,
denouncing everything proposed by
republican leaders, supporting every
democratic d%isreputable who managed
to get a nomination and opposing
every republican, no matter how capa-
BILE and how worthy. You will also
pardon me If / say that while admit
ting that sometimes l make mistakes,
l think l know the trend of thought
which governed my father "in walking
the path Of duty better than you do.
If you accuse me Of partisan bias be-
cause I believe, as he did, In unfolding
the principles of the republican party,
l am yet convinced that I have shown
myself more independent Of party
subserviency, more free to criticise
and to denounce wrong-doing by re-
publican or democrat, by high or low,
by rich or poor, than you have ever
shown yourself to be.
Sincerely yours,

Some Of the national guard representa-
tives, especially those who are at a dis
lance from the range where Is conducted
the national match, have represented to
the War department. or to the national
board for promotion OF rifle practice that
the present system Of conducting the
national matches is too expensive. The
recommendation has been made that the
method be revised so that distant and
smaller states may participate In the
matches without mourning the expense to
which they are now put. The authorities
OF the state OF Washington, for instance,
will not have sufficient funds to pay the
expenses of a rifle team this coming season
unless some other plan is devised. 1t has
been urged that there be held preliminary
competitions, the winners of which shall
only take part in the final competition,
otherwise known as the national match,
with the idea that the expenses Of such
final competition shall be borne proper
tionately by all the states.
The commissary general Of the army has
furnished the auartermaster general with
information regarding the kitchen cars,
which are now available for the movement
OF troops and recruits. The kitchen tour
list car Is a new model, sixteen-section
tourist car with two sections removed to
make room for the range and cooking
equipment. One Of these cars is capable,
with two cooks provided by the Pullman
company familiar with the use Of the cook
ing appliances and the storage Of food
supplies, of preparing meals for as many
as 800 men, There are fifteen tourist ears
in all available. The detachment mess car
is an old style conference.-the tourist car
with one retiring room removed and the
space turned into a buffet kitchen. The
cooking appliances are adequate to supply
meals for fifty men. using the garrison
ration, or IL travel rations and hot coffee
only were used, 100 men could be subsisted.
II lie the effort at all times to provide the
garrison ration for the men travelling
whenever practicable. There are five OF
these cars now completed and ready for
service. The subsistence department has
manufactured a gas cooker, designed by
Major Charles r. Krauthoff, which may
be installed In any car illuminated with
the Pintsch gas, and this, equipment is
sufficient to prepare food for the maxi
mum number of men which can be carried
in a tourist car. 1t Is most desirable that
the kitchen tourist car and the detachment
mess car should be utilized whenever pos.
sible in movements OF troops.

The war department is continuing with
growing success, its campaign against the
people in the vicinity OF army posts who
are engaged in the Illicit trade OF pur-
chasing uniforms or parts OF uniforms
from soldiers. The cooperation Of the De-
partment Of Justice has been obtained,
prosecutions have been instituted and con-
~viotions have been secured. The reports
show that there is an appreciable diminu-
ton in the unlawful traffic. This has been
done without the aid Of special legislation,
which has been under consideration for
several years and which would probably
have affected no better results than the
independent proceedings of the military
authorities in conjunction with the repre-
sentatives Of the attorney general. The re-
suits are most gratifying and the success
Of the action taken against dealers in uni
forms has discouraged soldiers from pur-
suing this method OF obtaining money.

The quartermaster general Of the army
has made an important recommendation to
the affect that there be no changes made
in the uniform Of the army, either that of
the commissioned personnel or the enlisted
force, for At least one year. General Ale
shire is also understood to be entertaining
the idea of renewing this recommendation
at the end Of the period which he has
specified. He believes that too many
changes nav been made and that the
disposition to make changes, most OF them
Of o minor character, should be checked
and that the features of the uniform which
have been adopted should be allowed to
remain In force without molestation until
the service can become thoroughly &C.
queinted with the characteristics Of the
official apparel. This is al attitude which
will be much appreciated throughout the
service and there will be much gratifica-
ton over the fact that the secretary OF
war has approved this recommendation OF
the dusrtermaster general.
The law providing for the payment OF
q g~ratuity in case OF the death OF an Of
ficer or enlisted man OF the army is held
not to apply to any other service the pay
of which is based on that Of the army,
unless special legislation is enacted for
such purpose. The comptroller of the
treasury says that the act OF May IL. 1908,
and appropriations subsequently made for
it's fulfiilment are in the nature of a pure
g~ratuity and not a part of the pay proper
or allowances Of the army. The bene-
ficiaries therein are pointed out, and are
the widows Of officers and enlisted men
on the active list or other persons prevl-
ously designated by said officers and en-
listed men. This gratuity is not designated
as pay or allowances, but as IAN amount
equal to six months pay at the rate re-
ceived by said officer or enlisted man at
the date OF his death" No one is author
lied to enlarge the class to whom this
g~ratuity is given by congress, and to ex-
tend 1t to another service would be to en-
large 1t.

Shop In AUGUSTA.

Did il ever occur to you that most
large cities like Boston, New York and
Chicago have more stores than the
population can support? Did you ever
stop to think that if it wasn't for the
people from the smaller cities and the
towns, who spend railroad fare to go
to those large cities and hotel bills to
stay there while they do their shop
ping, that many of those stores would
be obliged to suspend? And was it
ever brought to your notice that every
dollar you take out of town to spend
means just a dollar off from the in
ducement offered your home mer-
chants to carry bigger stocks?
II is the combining of the purchases
of thousands of small buyers which
supports the big city stores and it is
lust as sure that any combination OF
each towns representation which
composes that vast total would
enable the stores in the home
towns to do bigger and better
business, enable the store keeper to
have a better home, pay more taxes
sell you better goods at smaller
margin of profit, give your home town
a cleaner, brighter, buster business
street and put the croakers to shame.
Augusta has an array of retail
stores which has no superior in the
State The stocks are not only large,
but they are up to date and well ar
ranged The clerks are efficient.
courteous and know their stocks. They
are anxious to serve those who come
in to buy. They are not only anxious
to sell them, but they are anxious to
satisfy them, for Augusta merchants
believe that half dozen custom
ers who are sufficiently we'll satisfied
to return repeatedly for further pur-
chases and to tell their friends of the
advantages to be had by buying at
some particular store, are worth more
to any merchant than a half dozen
customers bled for the last penny on
the first purchase, for it is almost
certain to be the last also.
Water street in Augusta is a splen-
did place for Augustans to do their
Christmas shopping and the most OF
them are doing it there.
