From the NAUTILUS
One of the mightiest powers. working
toward the success or the failure of the
individual in the home, the social and
the business environment. is the voice
with its reflex influence. 1t is SO potent
a factor because, almost without fail, it
Is the open sesame of the soul. There
are moments when trifling matters irri-
tate even the most kindly disposed of
men, and the voice Is likely to betray
the fact in no uncertain manner 1t is
then well to remember that outward con-
troll tends to establish the true equllib-
rum and inward harmony.
There is, indeed much wisdom in as
Stunning a virtue which is temporarily
eluding one. university president once
remarked that no matter how depressed
he might be feeling, before entering his
lecture room. he would pause outside the
door rub his hands vigorously together
and arouse his whole being to state of
enthusiasm before he went smiling in to
his class. The chances were that before
the hour was over he had forgotten the
trivial indisposition or annoyance in the
spirit OF good cheer which he had radi-
ated to every member Of the class.

army you establish by law these staff
corps, that every man in this House must
know are exceedingly large for the size of
the force. This was based. as 1 under
stand it-and If l am not mistaken l will
be glad to be corrected by my friend
from Mnnesota-on the law of the state
Of New York. The state of New York
has over eight times as many troops as
we have here, and therefore would neces-
sarily need larger staff. Now, you have
as large a staff here, to care for two reg
iments, as they have in the largest state
in the Union. 49,
Now. my friend from Minnesota will
readily see that the government of the
United States would never think of Civ
ing to two regiments and one battalion
staff corps equal TO that OF division.
and yet you give ii iii this bill. Now. IL
YOU think this language authorizing the
President to organize the militia of the
District of Columbia in accordance with
the law prescribing the organization OF
the regular army. l cannot see what
harm would be done if YOU do il that
way. I want at the proper time to move
to strike out all of the provisions for this
staff corps Then you follow that with
your proposition as it is in this bill, CIV
ing the President the right to alter or
change, subdvide and do as he pleaSes
with this organization.
Responsibility on War Department.
Now. If VIC are going TO fix by law
a staff corps as expressed by Congress,
this would do, but then you ought not
to give the President the right To dis
band that organization whenever he de-
sired to change it. If Congress abso-
Iutely fixes the staff corps. only Congress
should change it, In other words it may
be that this organization would be carried
and paid by the War Department but as
one member of Congress, I would rather
the War Depa rtment should be RESPONSE
BILE for such an organization as that for
two regiments than be responsible for ii
myself"
After considerable more debate, In
which Mr.. Hall took prominent part. a
motion by him was agreed to. leaving the
organization of the District militia to be
in conformity with the organization of the
| regular army. The amendment was op-
posed. without success. by those in charge
| of the bill.
| After several minor amendments ha6
been agred to the bill was passed.

Coast Artillery Only Increase.


Mr. Stevenson remarked that there was
no increase over the present strength. ex-
cept as to the coast artillery.
1T is an increase in the organization,
if not in numbers" NJ. keifer replied,
but it provides for an organization of u
very large force. with general officers and
colonels and staff officers OF very high
grade, and it seems to me from hearing
it read that the staff officers had 4 rank
very much out of proportion to the num-
Der of the militia that would be in the
ranks.
Mr.. Steenerson replied that there were
no superuous officers provided for.
oh Lam not going to oppose the bill,
Mr.. Keifer said, but I am inclined to
think that when We come to organize
under this law the militia Of the District
we will have a very considerable army In
the District under the head Of militia. >
..If we do get a greater strength, Mr.
Stevenson suggested, cit would be con-
summation devoutly to be wished. because
certainly If there is any place in the
country that needs a militia it is the seat
of government
Refers to Fort Myer.
II thought Mr. Kefer replied that
there was always kept about the seat of
government. especially over here at Fort
Myer, a considerable number Of regulars"
There is no coast artillery here" Mr.
Stevenson said.
so" Mr.. Keifer, as he sat down. sus-
| gcsted, I'VE would be at the mercy of
rioters without aid at hand
| Mr.. Hull made some comments con-
| corning what he called the "topheavy"
staff provided for.
| There is not nearly a brigade provided
| for he said, tand you have an adjutant
generals department Remember. Mr..
| Speaker. that in each regiment we have
| a full staff. and in each battalion We have
an adjutant and quartermaster and a
| commissary. We have an adjutant and
uuartermaster for each of the battalions
! in addition to the regimental adjutant,
quartermaster and commissary In the
regular army organization. Now we
have here a staff that seems to me ex-
| ceedinsly topheavy in that particular.
They have two adjutant generals one OF
the rank of lieutenant colonel and one of
the rank of major, and SO on through the
staff. Now. If it is required here that they
shall be the same the organization of
the army. that is all right. would like
to have the committee to make section II

hensive than they have 1t. and after the
word artillery in line II. insert TO be
organized by the President as provided for
the regular army by existing law or regu-
lations.

THAT would give him the right to or
ganize these staff corps as the law re-
uuires the regular army to be organized
You go beyond that. and provide below
that he can change their organization a
his pleasure. Now, Mr.. Speaker wher
you put that amendment in there are
four or five pages of this bill that are

Fred D. Warren, editor of the
socialist Appeal to Reason, was
convicted in the federal court at
Fort Scott last week for misuse of
the mails. He printed an offer of
reward on his envelopes for the re-
turn of Ex-Governor Taylor to
Kentucky for trial on the charge
of numbering Gov. Goebel. He
got his tip from the fact that re-
wards were offered by detectives
for the return of certain socialists
to Idaho some years ago to be tried
on charge of numbering Gov.
Stuenberger, and he thought he
had the same right; but he found
that the rights of some republicans
are more sacred than those of So
cialistS. He will appeal to a
higher court.

In the Senate Mr.. Penrose of
Pennsylvania was brought to his
feet by Senator Bristow's objection
TO the proposition to restore the
duty on orange mineral, an ingre-
dent used in paint for buildings.
81 wish the Senator from Kansas to
tell me-" said Mr.. Penrose, with
judicial austerity, chow much
difference in the cost of painting
barn this duty would make" AN
inquiry thoroughly characteristic
OF protectionists of the Penrose
stripe. Well, even if it made the
mere fraction of a difference and
that difference is unnecessary
which it is-the dutyis indefensi-
BILE. The money saved, however
uncomfortable, would go just as
rightfully into the pockets of the
barn owners as into the pockets of
the interest" which Mr.. Penrose
desires to protect. The swollen
fortunes of the tariff benehciaries
are not made by levying big trib-
ute on a few commodities. That
would spoil the game. They are
piled up by a system of taxes that
eqacts here little and there little
from the people to build up an oil
garchy to beat them Out of a square
deal. IF it were orange mineral
alone, it would not be serious
matter; but, thanks to statesmen
of the Penrose variety, it is nearly
everything.-K. G. Star.
