Of the previous year. 1t was
during this tournament tina President Taft
visited Des Moines and was accorded, I'M
der General Morton's command, one Of the
grandest, full dress military parades ever
witnessed in this country.
Upon the completion Of this tournament
most OF the troops engaged therein were
marched to Omaha when the general COM
manded another large parade at the open
ing of the Ak-Sar-Ben festival.
In October, 1909, he again conducted the
nlnety-mile test ride for staff officers of
the Department of the Missouri.
General Morton has been most popular
in Omaha and his scores Of friends here
will witness his retirement from the SER
vice with the keenest regret. He has been
especially popular with the Board Of Gov
ernors of Ak-Sar-Ben, and 1t is largely
through his efforts that the last two fall
festivals rave been so eminently success
full.
Can Outride Youths.
Few officers OF the army upon retirement
possess the physical and mental vigor OF
General Morton. He can ride a horse as
great a distance and with as much ease
but with more dignity, than a lieutenant
of cavalry and when 1t comes to admisis
tering on paper the affairs of a large de
p%artment, he Is unequalled.

When the court dismissed the jury and
rose as he did, Immediately after there
followed a scene of rejoicing which is al
most unparalleled in local legal annals,
The women to whom a fortune had come
were alternately crying and laughing with
Joy and eagerly wringtng the hands Of
their counsel and the members of the jury.
Friends Congratulate Heirs.
There was a large delegation of friends
at hand who took part in exchange OF con-
gratulations, and there was buying OF
cigars in unprecedented quantities from
the old salesman in the corridor.
IT knew 1t would come our way all
the time, declared Mrs, Mary Lamb. who
felt particularly good over the verdict, not
only because Of the money, but because
she regarded the decision OF the Jury as
a vindication of the reflection cast upon
herself during the two trials.
THE right is sure to win added Mrs.
Lamb.

court room lasted for fully half an hour

MORTON WILL SOON RETIRE
Brigadier General Has One Week
More as Department Head.
FIFTY YEARS SERVICE RECORD
Only Winfield Scott, Whom He
Helped Bury, Among General
Officers of Army, Served
Longer.

Brigadier General Charles Morton, com
mandant Of the Department Of the Mis-
souri,, will retire from the command Of the
department and from active service in the
United States army March IS, after nearly
fifty years life as a soldier.
General Morton has had more active serv-
ice than any officer in the army today,
probably more and longer war service In
the history Of the American army than
any other general officer, with the ex-
ception of the late Lieutenant General
Winfield Scott, over whose grave General
Morton fired a rifle at the time Of his
burial.
The army loses, in the retirement of
General Morton, the active aid Of one of
its most loyal members and staunch sup
porters.
He first entered the service as a private
soldier In a Missouri volunteer regiment in
1861 and served during the entire civil war.
: Appointed to the West Point Military
academy in 1865, he was graduated there
from in 1869, and has since been contin-
uously In the service. He rose gradually
through all the ranks Of a commissioned
officer Of the regular establishment, reach
ing the rank Of brigadier general in 1907.
General Morton was assigned to the COM
mand of the Department of--the Missouri,
succeeding Brigadier General T. F. Whit,
October IL, 1907.
Big Department 10 Conduct.
During this time he has conducted with
signal success the affairs of the largest
military department, in point Of troops, in
the United States army, a department
which is as large as three Of some Of the
| other departments combined.
Upon taking command OF the department
in October. 1907, General Morton's first duty
was to conduct the fifteen-mile test ride
for the field officers of the department,
which neoessitated his visiting the different
posts and taking a ride at each, a total OF
ten rides, or 100 miles.
Leads Ninety-MIIe Ride.
Two large maneuver camps Of instruction
were held In the department during 1905,
one at Camp Emmett Crawford, near Fort
d. A. Russell, Wye, and the other at Fort
Riley, Kan, all the arrangements for which
were made by General Morton. The former
was commanded by General Morton in
person, at the close of which he conducted
the ninety-mile test ride for all field Off
GERS on duty at the camp.
Upon his return TO Omaha he immedi-
ately went to Fort Riley, Kan, where he
took command OF a provisional division
which had been organized upon the termi'
nation OF the maneuver camp there, and
marched it to St. Joseph, Mo-, where q
military tournament was held under his
command.
This was the largest organization OF
troops on so long a march in the United
States since the civil war, and up to thai
time the largest military tournament evel
held in the United States.
The Des MOines Tournament.
In September, 1903. General Morton som.

TAKE this excerpt from the let
ter of a correspondent to the APP
peal to Reason detailing the condi-
tons and occurrences attending
the recent famous Taft Diaz hand
shaking at Ell Paso, Texas:
The morning OF the 10Th the city
was turned over to the secret ser-
vice force OF the government, and
orders issued from it that no one
should get on the roofs of their
houses, no wagons should appear
on the streets, nor should any one
ride on horseback through the
streets, carry umbrellas, walking
sticks or handkerchiefs in their
hands. Wire ropes ere stretched
along the sidewalks and the people
ordered not to cross them, and for
hours before what they called the
parade took place not a soul was
allowed to cross the streets.
What think you oft, ye enlight-
ened sovereign citizens of this
cherished Land of Liberty? |, for
one, would not, could not, give it
~credence, were it not that it per-
force recalls a story told in the
papers at the time, that when Pres
ident Roosevelt went to dine with
a certain Club in Chicago, the cit
izens living on the street along
which the procession marched were
ordered by the police to close their
doors and blind their windows!
If we are such barbarians that our
chosen public servants r inse-
cure except when cordoned with
bayonets and we made to hunt III
holes and pull them in after US, for
decency's sake let us do away with
the patent lie that we are capable
of self-government, and set up an
Emperor! Let our rulers sport the
crown and WELD the scepter as
some recompense for the peril at
taching to their exalted position
because of the assumed murderous
propensities of the bloodthirsty
mob.
