THE ARMY MULE.

By an order from headquarters the
automobile passes from some of the
army posts and the mule comes back
to its own. 1t was only question of
time, for the attachments of the ages
are not easily broken. The mules en-
listment never was intended to expire,
and as for the summary dismissal, it
was ill-considered, but now all well
once more with the mule and the army.
The army mule is tactieiap and a
strategist Study of it's habit has won
many a battle. By the mere curl of
a lip it develops defensive front, and
under no circumstance of seeming peace
or of active war are its TANKS left I'M
guarded. The mule heard the army
swear in Flanders and it hears it swear
in tie Philippines. It always has been
the target for profanity. and it has done
loyal service as the soldiers safety
valve.-Chicago Post.

JUST IN TIME.

: A German shoemaker left the gas
turned on in his shop one night, and
upon arriving in the morning struck a
match to light it. There was terrific
explosion, and the shoemaker was blown
out through the door almost to the mid
die of the street.
A passer-by rushed to his assistance,
and after helping him to arise, inquired
if he was injured.
The little German gazed in at his
place of business, which was now burn
ing quite briskly and, said:

On this subject the report says:

On this subject the report says:
The continuing expenditure required
for the restoration of the army and
navy to their former e:ciency and the
increase of their strength and other
already fixed continuing expenditures
which were intended to be completed
in the main in the financial year 1915
1916 have been extended to 1919-1920
the purpose altered: thus i'm the gem
eral account 102,7S0,O24 yen out of
the already fixed amount to be disburs-
ed during the period from 1909-1910 to
1913-1914 has been carried over to sub
sequent years and the policy has been
adopted of curtailing the already fixed
administrative expenditures as mucn
as possible.
TINS shows some reduction of pro-
gram, but if the Japanese army and
navy were competent to deal with
Russia four years ago, where was the
necessity for the ambitious plan under
taken after peace was restored? The
question appears more difficult of solu-
ton in view of the fact that taxation
has steadily increased since the war.
The talk of war between Japan and
the United States is absurd, because
neither has anything to gain by such
conflict, and so by a process of ELI
mination the conclusion is compelled
that these tremendous preparations are
made in expectation of another war
with Russia.-S f. Call.

JAPAN PREPARING AGAIN
FOR A WAR WITH RUSSIA

The curve of taxation in Japan from
1896 to 1900 shows startling and al
most incredible increase. The an
nuat financial report of the Japanese
government is an admirable document,
showing the conditions in a way to
be easily understood A graphic
chart gives the history of Japanese
taxation for the period mentioned,
presenting an almost constant advance
in the totals collected year by year.
In 1896 the total collections were be-
hween 70,000,0OO and S0,0O0,OO0 yen.
In 1909 they exceeded $4,000 900 yen.
The yen is nearly equal to our half
dollar. In the same period the per
capita taxation was trebled
For poor nation these figures would
indicate very serious condition, and
the natural inquiry is why taxes are
greater than in time of war. The
answer to this question is the more
obscure since the extraordinary ex-
penditures are in excess of extraor-
dnary revenue, and the balance is
maintained only by keeping the ordi-
nary expenditures well inside of the
ordinary revenues. These extraor-
binary expenses mostly include the
cost of public Improvements, such as
the construction of harbors and public
institutions. With these domestic
matters the outside world is not con
cerned, but people do want to know
why Japan taxes itself to keep the
army and navy on a permanent war
footing

Commissioner Vests suggestion that
the vicinity of the Union station
should be kept free from distigure-
ments of billboards and advertising de-
vices is excellent. 1t should be tho
roughly enforced. The Union station
plaza will in time-a short time, it IS
to be hoped-become one of the most
attractive parts of the city. 1t will be
the gateway to he National Capital,
where the thousands who enter daily
obtain their first glimpse of Washing
ton. Plans are in contemplation for
the architectural development of this
space, which when carried out will rem
der it one of the notable beauty spots
of the world 1t would be folly to per-
nit the Disagreement of this space
with advertising devices even at the
present stage, while the plaza is in a
course of development. 1t is true that
the aspect from the station entrance
is at this time in the main unlovely.
There are many unsightly old build
ings still standing within range, the
earth fill is incomplete. the convent
ences of the plaza are in a large mea-

PURPOSE TO DISCREDIT HIM.
1t is claimed by Newelrs friends
that Wickersham' decision is tech
nicality and that the purpose is to
discredit Newell in order to force him
out and make place for Seattle
man who is a close friend of Ballinger.
President Taft has been approached
by both sides of the controversy. He
is inclined to support Newell. Ballin-
ger is hard at work in the west gath
ering information with which to I'M
horse Newell
Newell and PinchOt are close friends,
and their friends in congress are
actively at work offsetting Ballinger's
efforts to dislodge them. Several west
ern senators interested in irrigation
matters have taken a hand in the
fight. They declare that rather than
see Newell forced out they will go
after the scalp of Ballinger himself.
WiclSersham, who appears TO be as
sisting Ballinger, is persona non grata
in the senate, and western senators
especially are waiting for an oppor-
tunity to deliver him body blow.

CABINETiCHANGES
BEING TALKED OF

WASHINGTON July 2O-The dis
ruption of President Taft's cabinet Is
threatened as the result of acute dis
sension which has appeared in the in
terror department. The issue has been
so sharply drawn that some senators
predicted today that the president
would demand the designations of Sec
rotary Ballinger AMI Attorney General
Wickersam.
The trouble had its inception over
differences between Ballinger on the
one hand and Forester Clifford Pin
chot and Director Newell of the recla-
nation service on the other. Wicker
sham was drawn into the imbroglio
and upheld Ballinger Taft has been
inclined to side with Pinchot and
Newell. Should the two cabinet Of
ficials persist in their position it is
believed that the president will elimi-
nate them from his council
AFTER THEIR SCALPS.
Ballinger has been aggressive in his
opposition to both Pinchot and New
ell. 1t is an open secret in Washing
ton that he is determined to get their
scalps. The Ballinger-Pinchot differ
ences relate to forest lands. The sec
rotary has complained bitterly against
what he terms Pinchot's endeavors to
run his department Pinchot, who
returned to Washington tonight, dis
claims any such intention. but IN
sists that the forestry bureau shall be
allowed to operate unhampered and in
accordance with the well settled policy
of the Roosevelt and Taft administra-
tions.
The Ballinger-Newell fight has reach
ed a crisis, in which Attorney Cen
eral Wickersham is involved. A meet
ing of the senate committee on irriga-
ton is to be held tomorrow morning,
to which Wickersham has been sum
moned. He will be asked TO explain
the grounds upon which he rendered
decision last May holding that the
orders of the reclamation service had
been unlawful.
Secretary Ballinger, soon after the
taking of office, requested Wickersham
TO review the methods of the reclama-
ton service as to the making of con-
tracts with water users. Wickersham,
who is a stickler for law points, over
turned the practice of the service
