General Howard, Christian Soldier.

70 .|". 49,. MHN o. aEF .L.
The death Of General oliver o. How
ard stirs the emotions of people of
conflicting forces, for he was a hero
not only of the b~attlehelds, but also Of
the crusaders in the cause of right
eousness.7 just, as the lighting army
had been proud to march under his
command, so the church militant had
massed it's forces with his banner as a
rallying point. Something of the spirit
OF that anomaly, the lighting
Quaker animated General Howard;
peace was his inner wish for all men,
but when it became necessary to fight
he was as valiant in battle as he was.
in philosophy. His ringing cry, my.
country needs me-" with which he re-
signed the quiet pursuits of instruc-
ton and enlisted .for..acGon at the
front, swept through ther country as
an inspiration to the youth Of the land.
That he was Of the very metal that
his country did need, his subsequent
career quickly proved. Tlt,
BY the death Of General How
ard the list of the famous civil
war corps commanders is reduced
to twoAGeneral Dodge and Cen
eral sickles. The career of each
of these splendid leaders Of the
union army has been recounted again
and again and has helped to instill
courage and patriotism in the later
generations OF American boys. The
war ended, General Howard had occa-
sion to serve HIS country further at the
head Of the freedman's bureau and in
some Of the most remarkable Of Indian
campaigning; but every moment he
could spare to the cause of education
he gave and he became a familiar fig
ure on platform and in pulpit. Here
was the popular type of the Christian
soldier, and as such he was idolized
by the army of church people, The
old Sunday school hymn, Onward,
Christian Soldier" sung whenever he
appeared, grew to be the national
march of the militant young workers
in the cause Of religion.
Veterans of the Grand Army, read
ing Of his death, will remember the
man on horseback cheering Of his
troops, but TO. the memoir of the
American public will come more read
lily the picture Of the stalwart Chris
tian, pleading for the peaceful forces
of civilization, an empty sleeve pinned
across his breast.

Our amiable democratic eontem-
porary has almost burst another blood
vessel in explosive lamentations for
the kidnapped prohibs." A terrible
outrage is in process of consummation
because two nominees on the prohibit
tion ticket who wanted to pull out, fol-
lowing the example Of the treasurer of
the democratic committee, forgot" to
file in time, and the World-Herald is
greatly distressed for fear that IL these
names are erased from the official bal
LOT another great and glorious a may
be nulliied. 1t is stin more greatly
distressed for fear that the erasure of
these names might fool somebody and
in the fooling its pet nonpartisan dem
ocrats might get the worst of it. This
is really rich, rare and racy when we
recall the fact that every one of the
nonpartisan democrats has committed
near perjury to have his name on the
ballot labeled populist in order to get
populist votes by fraud which he could
never get in any other way. The kid
naped pops are entitled to sympathy
because they are kidnapped without con-
sent, whereas If there are cay kid
mapped prohibs" they have kidnapped
themselves.
Seriously speaking, however, with
drawal Of a candidate after nomination
raises the Question of Interpretation Of
the election laws. The law apparently
sets the limit at fifteen days before the
election, and the candidate attempting
to withdraw clearly could not enforce
the erasure of his name after that
time. The attorney general holds that
this time limit is directory and that the
officers charged with making up the
ballot may accept destinations later IL
they choose. There would seem to be
some ground for this ruling in the fact
that nominations are permitted by law
to be received up to fifteen days before
election, and clearly, il declinations
could not be received after that, candi-
dates might be nominated against their
will and kept on the ticket in spite of
all they might do to get off.
But The Bee believes that the pri-
mary law, as amended by the late dem
ocratic Legislature has complet ly
taken away the right to withdraw from
every one nominated by direct primary.
This law requires every person whose
name goes on the primary ballot to file
a sworn statement of party afiliation
concluding, "and I pledge myself to
abide by the results of said primary
election and qualify if elected" The
words land qualify If elected" we're
added by the democratic Lawmakers.
If this additional pledge means anyA
thing it must mean that the candidate
binds himself to run If nominated and
to serve If elected. While other parts
of the election law relating to with
drawai and filling of vacancies we're
left unchanged, it seems to us that this
provision repeats them all by implica-
tion so far as they govern candidates
nominated by direct primary.
We would like to see this part Of the
law tested in court to ascertain
whether our Interpretation is not the
correct one.

DEBT VOID IF THE

Novel System of Fire In
surance on Pianos.
A Cessation from Worry-ResponsiA
biIities are Now Greatly Les
sened for Melody
Seekers. E.

The A. Hospe Co, OF 1913 Douglas st..
ever awake to it's patrons interests. have
now devised a Free Insurance" plan that
will lift many a worry from prospective
purchasers of pianos. -
The plan is novel-startlingly new
and should be taken up at once by those
who entertain an idea of purchasing in
the near future.
The new plan is this:
In event Of DEATH of the head of the
family, the ENTIRE balance due on the
instrument at the TIME of said death
will be CANCELLED-the survivors OBJ
legations cease-they receives PRESENT
Of the obligation from the A. Hospe Co.
Then, too, the Fire Insurance" plan:
If any piano purchased from the A.
Hospe Co. burns up or IL damaged by
FIRE before the instrument Is completely
paid for, the instrument IL Immediately
replaced with a new oneLwithout further
ado.
Thus TWO Of the most important wor-
ries that confront prospective buyers are
annihilated-done away with completely.
This plan is made legal and binding In
the shape of certificates presented 70
each and every purchaser. whether the
purchase price be $40 or $1,000. Organs
are sold under the same plan.
even in the face Of these two remark
able insurance features the price on the
superbly graded makes offered here have
not been raised one iota.
The A. Hospe CO. has figured Il out on
the insurance basis-the amount Of extra
pianos sold on the strength Of this mod
ern plan will offset the losses incurred
by death and fires.
Now then take into eonsideration-the
"Hospe" reputation-the premier makes
featured here-the unbeatable prices
and lastly this new insurance plan.
THEN buy that plano HERE.

SOLDIERS POINT OF VIEW.
Burden Of weight Carried on Prac-
tice Marches.

y
Golfers Weekly,
Writing to us about his life, a soldier in
the United States army quotes these lines:
1.-THE toad beneath the harrow knows,
Exactly where each tooth-pOint goes,
The butterfly along the road
breaches contentment TO that toad"
He was answering the rather general
comment on the failure OF soldiers to re-
enlist at the expiration of their terms. and
on the amount OF desertion. Our soldier
friend finds the predominant reason in the
amount OF weight that has to be carried
on a practice march. The burden includes,
when in full field equipment, gun, bayonet,
belt. ninety rounds Of ammunition, poncho.
pole, fiveE pegs, blanket, canteen and
various pieces OF clothing, eating utensils,
etc, as well as an emergency ration and
an intrenehing implement, bringing the
whole to about nfty-five pounds. Officers
rather generally look upon these things as
necessary, but a number OF soldiers think
that eighteen pounds might be discarded.
covering the poncho. intrenching imple-
ment, the emergency ration, and seventy
rounds OF ammunition, the arguments be-
ing that the poRchO nteTferes with the
soldiers walking while on the march and
is not OF sufficient value in camp to com
p~ensate: that in the use of the intrench-
ing tool the soldier receives sufficient in
struction at his home post; and that
twenty rounds OF ammunition would SUI
flee for any emergency likely to arise on
a practice march. Other reasons are given
by our correspondent, including dissatis-
faction with the arrangements for extra
and special duty but the one on which
he lays most stress Is the wearing effect
OF the heavy burden.
