DWINDLING MILITARY ES
 MATES.
ESTI-

President Taft, in cutting the army garment according to the financial cloth. is avoiding the charge of mil itarism. He evidently is not so fear ful of a foreign war as to keep the country in a state of expensive and ruinous preparedness. The real animus of the movement in this coun- try for an army which would some what approach in magnitude those European armies which the attitude of the nations toward each other makes necessary, however burden some they may be. was perhaps never fear of war. but a desire to set up a military establishment which would comport with our great wealth and our other great institutions.
 This desire has been persisted in, in spite of the fact that we could not afford it, as was evidenced by the annually increasing deficit.
 President Taft in reducing the es- inmates for next year and still fur ther reducing them for the following year is in sympathy with the large body of the people, who believe that rich as the country may be it has no money to waste in useless mili- tary display.
 That there will ever be an invasion of this country is not believed. Though the millennium is nowhere in sight and though nations will not soon cease to learn war any more" no one believes that any nation has learned so little as to suspect that an invasion of this country might be successful, however unprepared we might be found.
 There is no reason at hand now why we should ever invade any other country.
 Circumstances might arise in which we would be called upon to defend the Philippines, but those circum- stances are not so immediately ap- parent as to warrant the expenditure of vast sums which are needed for the development of our waterways and other internal improvements.

They was a Ole Line Democrat which was a Talkin' to me tn other day, and he sez, James, you ort to Assemble at tn Elks' Opry House to- mite at tn Hi Skool Exercises. Tn Principle Speaker of tn Evenin' will be tn Onnerble Marcus A. Smith, an his Remarx'll be Frot with Trooths which is almost Divine.
 He has made some Mistakes. an so did Moses. but nobody never made no mistakes a-follerin' tn Preceps of Ether, Mister Smith or Moses. As G'ides to tn Rite Way. both of 'em is Strickly Onto Their Jobs. Ev'ry time at tn Joos didn't Foller tn ad- vice of Moses, they got theirselfs all Balled Up. E
 ''Wunst in a while some Discur- ridged Joo. he sez to anuthern. sez he: I got Idee 'at this here Moses ats been leadin' us around Ainless, ain't nothin' but 4-flusher. We been a. Wanderin' around here for Forty Yeers. an Staithood ain't. in sight yit no mOre'n it was when we CroI1ed out of tn Red See an Moses tole us at tn Promist Land was jist over be- yont that first Range or Hills
 While they was a-talkin' AnHther Teller he comes up an he sez: Moses has lost his Barin's. He don't know whether we're a-goin' or a-comin' This here country's got Moses aces sin. Les find somebody at Knoze which way is East an which way 1irrt if fn Av1xr As fer me, I'm a-getting' tired of this Nanny an Vile focuses Honey at tn Federle government is a-dopin' out to us. I don't want to be huntin Moses up every time I get Thirsty an have him Bust a Rock open sos I can git a Drink. I want to be a free Sitizen'
 Then they wanders around after False Profits which gives 'em a Bum Steer, an Pestilence an other Trou- bles, sos at they haf to go back to Moses to Iced 'em on tn Rite Way to tn Promist Land. They'd a never a got there if it hadn't been fer him."
 A Republican which come up list then, he asts: What become of Moses after he led tn Joos into tn Promist Lana
 Tn Democrat he replize: T don't jist Riekolleck. Since I come to Think about it, I don't never Remember a. Reeedin' nothin' about Moses after that"
 "Of course you don't sez tn Re publican, fer he didn't never kit there He was Buried in tn Land of Mob an a Young Teller what was called Josh Way. he sez to 'em. sez he: We been foolin' around here to no Purpose fer more'n Forty Yeers. Let me Direck this here perceshun fer a while, an if I don't land you in Pallesteen in six months. I'll Resine.'"

 Yes" sez tn Republican, "an' so does Marcus Smith"

Whatever may be charged against James A. Patten the conclusion of the May option shows that either he was not the manipulator that he was thought to be or else the champion long distance manipulator. The clos ing deal was in elect of the almost record price. apparently sub stantiating the claim of MT. Pat ten when the furry was the fiercest, that the advance was natural and regular. It certainly bears out his prediction then and at the time of the subsequent slump. which was er- roneously believed to be the collapse of the corner. that the price would increase with the life of the option. Altogether, as events have turned out, his estimates were much more accu- rate than those of the agricultural de- partment

We notice that our aboriginal friend, the Hon. Thomas Longboat, who used to be the terror of the cinder path, made a bad showing in the international Marathon yesterday. We recall also that he has not won any races lately. It is also remember ed that he was married some months ago We are reminded of the qua train:
 'The youth who hopes the Olympic
 prize to gain All arts must try and every toll sus-
 tain.
 The extremes of heat and cold must
 often prove And shun the weakening joys of
 wine and love"

Here is a wide field of operation for the new city council, one in which the councilmen can perform a great CT service for Phoenix than in any other. It is true that the council cannot create a sewer, but we think if it takes the matter up it will have supporters in a movement that will lead to something. The siprit of i'm provement is abroad in Phoenix.

The Same Old John

Old John L. Sullivan always had
fine Irish wit, and it remains with him
in his advanced age. Not long ago he
was appearing in Baltimore theater
and the manager, for business rea-
sons, introduced him to wealthy
youth of the town. The youth was
typical chollyboy, the sort of speci-
men that old John abhors. Sullivan
was washing his face in the theater
dressing room when the two arrived,
and they waited patiently until he had
finished his additions. When John
had dried his countenance he gave the
dude one look, and then said to the
manager: well, I congratulate you,
Jack, is it boy or a girl?"

BY Judd Mortimer Lewis.

for awhile until l get sleepy; read
Lyttons 'Haunters and Haunted!'"
Gee! You'll never sleep if l read
that. Reading that book all alone in
house at midnight will make any
one believe in ghosts"
ooh, well, if you don't care tc
read"
Sure I'll read!"
So Jinx read for an hour, and by that
time Mrs. Jinx was on the verge of a
scream and Jinx had locked the bed
room door and they were both mag
lining that they heard strange and
ghostly noises coming from the silent
rooms about them, and finally they
crept into bed and tried to sleep with
out having extinguished the light
Suddenly as though they were one
piece of mechanism they sat bolt up
right in bed and grasped one another
and gasped: What was that?"
An unmistakable noise as of careful
footsteps along the hall, crash in
the dining-room! Silence!
by, that's no ghost! By, that's a
burglar after our wedding presents
If you sneak out carefully you can
catch him!"
do you suppose I will expose you
to that danger? There's a policeman
on the corner; I'll open the window
and boiler to him!"
and in the meantime the burglar
will get away with all the cut glass!
I'm going out there!"
Followed by Jinx Mrs. Jinx opened
the bedroom door and turned the
button that flooded the house with
light. Holding Jinx firmly by the
wrist she tiptoed to the dining-room
and peeped inland saw great tramp
cat crouched on the top of the bird
cage which it had knocked to the
floor.
I'm glad that I got home before
that happened, dear; you would have
been scared cold"
80 am l." replied Mrs. Jinx. And
to her everlasting credit she refrained
from adding: Men don't get fright
ened."

lppy marriage?' I asked
Time to Chance Subject.

The Courier-Journal tells of this
embarrassing statement made by
well-known Louisville woman who is
known as Saying things without
thinking" Her daughter was enter
tanning a young man on the front
porch and the mother was standing
at the fence talking to the neighbors
next door. In the yard of the latter
was a baby a little over a year old,
and it was trying to walk. "You
shouldn't let it walk so young" ad-
vised the thoughtless matron:: wait
until it's a little older. l let my
daughter walk when she was about
that age, and it made her bow-legged."
The young man began to talk ener-
getically about the weather.

Facts About Father
BY Richard S. Graves.

1t is not true that everybody works
but father. He is not as bad as he
has been painted, as we will find if we
look into his case and weigh the evil

cuse can always be found for his
shortcomings. He can find them him
self. He also will tell you that the
