1.-THE. PENSION CARNIVAL"
Writer Urges Vigorous Action to Re
duce Annual Appropriation.
70 the Editor of The Tribune

To the Editor of The Tribune
Sir; Permit me to call the attention Of
your readers to a series of articles begin
niIg in the October number of THE
Worlds Work on The Pension Carnival. -
The first article is an introduction to an
inquiry why almost half century after the
Civil War we are paying more than $780,
OOO,0O0 a year for pensions when three-quar-
ters of those who survived that conflict are
now dead 1t gives typical cases Of fraudu-
lent pensions. IL shows how in thousands
of cases men marked as 'deserters' have
had this stain on their honor removed by
corrections in the department and been
made the recipients of pensions.
The American people have been very in
dulgent in the pension matter. but now
IT is felt that the limit has been reached
and that the annual payment should and
must steadily decrease. AS they believe in
tariff for protection against the competi-
ton of cheap labor, but are opposed to the
enrichment of great corporations at their
expense. so. while loyal TO the soldiers who
saved the Republic, they are utterly OF
posed 10 the excess in expenditures for pen
sicrs beyond all reason and without dis
elimination 10 which some would lead them.
Even now. among other demands, It Is
asked that widows of veterans. no matter
how recent the marriage may have been. be
pensioned. if they have only cared for a
soldier for three years Fifty years OF PEN
sion. 1t may be. for three years of devotion!
Our members of Congress desire the favor
OF the people. especially when they seek re-
election, and $50 o0o.Ooo represents mighty
power and influence for or against them
They are inclined therefore to favor ap-
meals nv nj

~ private bills. they keep up or even IN

and strong. by the best men and the best

THE CHINESE PARLIAMENT.

The recent opening Of the Chinese
National Assembly must be regarded as
on the whole the most significant step
thus far taken in the elaborate processes
Of constitutional development in that
empire At the time the body was COM
monty spoken of as a senate, but that
was incorrect and mislead ding. 1t is no
more a senate than it is a house OF
representatives IT is neither of these,
and yet in measure it partakes Of the
nature of each of them, and it contains
oonfessedly and purposely the germs
and foundations of both. 1t is de-
scribed by the government as the
foundation Of a parliament and is Of
ficially named the National Assembly.
IL was ordered into existence by an edict
of September 90. 1907, which set forth
that in a constitutional government BIZ
cameral parliament was the real founda-
tion Of executive power, that China was
not yet ready for such a body, but that
there should be established q prelimi-
nary court 10 assist the government
known as the National Assembly.
This body. which is now in active ex-
istence, consists partly Of noblemen and
class representatives, who will in time
form the nucleus of senate. and partly
of representatives of the provincial as
semblies. who will form the basis Of a
house of representatives. There are eX-
actIy one hundred Of each of these two
classes. though the former class is sub
divided into seven sections, Of which
only four. with forty-eight members, be
long to the hereditary nobility, the fifty
two members of the other three sections
being commoners chosen for merit The
first hundred are appointed by the En-

To Gauge HI. WIFE. Temper.

II heard about a peculiar case Of
henpecked husband recently" said a
young woman the other day.
what was it," her friend inquired.
There Is a man who has some diff
fculty In gauging his wife's temper.
At times she is considerate Of his well
fare. and at other times-well, he
rather thinks that married life is a
failure.
HE has a peculiar manner Of find
ing out the state of his wife's feel
ing toward him. In the evening when
he returns home from work he never
steps into the house without going
through a sort Of ceremony. First he
throws his hat in the house, and then
he seats himself on the steps and
waits. II five minutes pass without
the hat being thrown out again he en-
ters and generally finds his wife very
agreeable. However, II the hat is
thrown out again the unfortunate man
seeks hospitality for the night some
where else rather than brave tho

The State
Committee MEETING

The meeting of the State Central
committee which is just about to be
held at Pueblo is one of the most
important in party history. Itcomes
at time when there has been some
uneasiness and unrest in the party;
at time when the Democrats are
working overtime trying to stir up
dissatisfaction among Republicans
and encourage them to bolt; and at
time most opportume for taking a
new start rnd arousing new Repuc
lican enthusiasm.
Of course it is not the business
of the Central Committee to make
platforms or candidates; that is pro-
perly left to the ensuing conven-
ton; but the members of the COM
mittee can show by their words and
acts that they are united and in ear
nest for Republican success; they
can choose wisely the place and
time of holding the convention, and
they can confer with and strengthen
each other by talking over the sit
uation in their respective counties.
there is likely to be full attendance
and we do not doubt the committee
will do its work wisely and we'll.

Juding from the tone of the Dem

The record made by the Republicans
in this Congress has been such as
to cocvince the people that they
want more of the same kind.

one man from another. But reading
an author of simplicity, is like con.

HARDEST TO PAINT
WICKER CHAIR STANDS AS A
PERPETUAL, JOKE.
Since the Dawn Of the Art Of Color
Ing Man Has Never Tackled
Anything Approaching q
Job Like This.

Ever since nature decided to make
things Of differing colors man has
been trying to improve the looks of
things by painting them. The savage,
procuring colors from the soil-nice
reds and screaming yellows-smeared
his face with them.
Savage ladies', procuring bright dye
stuffs, colored their grass mats and
their head feathers and their limited
clothing in the most amazing colors.
Sometimes they'd dye their teeth a
vivid red or black, and paint their
ears and tint their finger nails beau
tiful yellow in some lands.
Then cultured ladies began sys-
tematically painting to improve on
nature. They would make rosy cheeks
roster. and II they were too rosy
would tone them down a bit. They
would make crimson lips. and. when
necessary, tint the lobes Of their she'll
like ears, and made sad little shadows
under their merry eyes. and, II need
be, would not scruple to paint on an
eyebrow or So
Then civilized man. seeing the need
Of paint. began using 1t in dead earn
est and in carload lots. Barns, houses,
cars. wagons. fences. bedposts, b.
things to paint.
Everything paintable he painted.
and some things which were not. He
even painted the wicker porch chairs,
and In doing this did something to
make even a professional painter
shudder.
Never painted a wicker porch chair?
Then hark. a wicker porch chair was
never intended to be painted. Sup
pose you had wicker porch chair
that was once white. but had become
a depressing grayi
You take quart can Of paint
enough to paint the side Of house
and start to paint that chair. Every
thing in It is round. When you finish
painting one side Of the round wicker
rods, you turn 1t over and paint the
other 1854 sides. The quart Of paint
has been used and you get another.
When you think you have surely
painted that chair enough you stand
off at an angle and look at 1t, finding
that somehow you've missed part Of
1t, and an aggregation Of unpainted
patches remains among the green.
You paint these and get another quart
of paint, for you observe from another
angle that you have missed some more
angles.
Every point Of view shows you
some unpainted expanse Of that chair.
and finally, having spent enough time
and paint on Tito make you feel Ill,
you declare the job done. and your
family comes out and tells you you've
missed some places in 1t, and that you
should not have left 1t In the dust to
dry.
The only way to paint a wicker
chair Is to procure vat large enough
to hold 1t, fill the vat with dye and
soak the wicker chair in 1t, and after
this has been done, to take paint
brush and paint and close your eyes,
slapping the paint on wherever you
can. The dye does the rest, and the
work will be beyond criticism.
For out of all the things man has
painted, from eagle plumes to porch
roof. the wicker chair stands alone as
the most unpaintable thing the world
has ever known.-Galveston News.

NEGROES ARRESTED FOR PURLO|N|NG
 CLOTHING

As the result of the discovery of sev- eral~ hundred dollars worth of clothes which were stored in the basement of a house on Bone street, George Younr. cOlered and two negro women known as Tommy" and ''Black Bess' were yesterday arrested by Constable Dun can and locked up in jail on burglary charges.
 The clothes were identified by Violet Reins, habitue of the red light dis trict, as those stolen from her room a short timo ago.
 She claims that the articles of wear ing apparel were stored in room ad- joining that occupied by Young and that all of the doors to the room, ex- cept one leading into Young's room, were barricaded with furniture. With this circumstance pointing toward Goung,s guilt, she secured search war rant with the result that the missing articles were discovered where it is claimed they had been stored by either Young, or the woman with whom he IS said to be associated
 The trio is in custody awaiting an examination on the charge.

PRESIDENT SMITH
 ARRIVES IN CITY Head of Old Dominion Will Spend Several Days at
 Big Property

Charles Sumner Smith, president of the Old Dominion Copper Mining < Smelling company, arrived here last night to inspect the local property and look after other matters of importance His arrival had not been expected until some time next week, but urgent busi- ness caused him to alter his plans.
 The accident of two weeks ago, which resulted in the wreck of the hoist at A shaft, was partially responsible for Mr. Smiths visit. He conferred with the local officials of the old Dominion upon his arrival and seemed pleased that the damage was no worse than had been reported and that the mine was work ing nearly full shift.
 Today he will make a personal in- spection of the mine and take up mat ters connected with the Old Dominion.
 It is also expected that Mir. Smith will meet officials of the Gila Valley railway, during his visit here, at which conference it is probable that right of way agreement between the two com panes for the construction of the con meeting link between the Miami exten- sion and the valley line will be made
 Mr. Smith will remain in Globe for several days.
