CAN SPY ON L. 6.

Washington, Sept. 16;-Despite
the recent passage Of a law making
spying on the United States military
reservations a criminal onense with
heavy punishment in time Of peace,
It is still easy for foreign govern
ments to obtain Information about
the defensea Of the United States, in
the opinion Of officers of the General
staff Of the Army at the War Depart
ment.
Though visitors are not permitted
to take cameras into fortified places
maintained by the United States, the
officers declare It Is an easy matter
for any man. familiar with coast de-
lenses, to visit a fort and without
taking a written note, to gather
enough material IN half an hour to
enable him to chart completely the
position of the guns, their number,
size, range and effectiveness. There
is no way Of making this impossible
without sealing up all the forts
which Is, Of course, obviously impos-
sible.
Despite this, however, there have
been many instances Of deliberate at
tempts at spying which seem to justi-
fy the passage of the recent raw. One
example occurred in New York,
where a man arrested for a minor
offense was found to have a trunk
filled with military maps and infor-
nation which convinced army officers

Less than a year ago, an enlisted
in the Philippines, who was
used as the official photographer for
the army IN the islands, was offered
$4,000 for a set Of photographs Of
the d~efenses Of Corregidor Island.
The d~efenses at this place are the
most modern and the most elaborate
Of any ever constructed by this coun-
try, and especial precautions have
been taken to keep the details secret.
The enlisted man pretended to accept
the offer, and thus led the would-be
purchasers Of American military
secrets into q trap. They were
caught, but by habeas corpus pro-
ceedings, as the incident occurred be-
fore the new law vas enacted, were
able to escape.
A waiter in Seattle, not long ago,
was found to be a foreign officer in
disguise, while an American ambas-
sador in a foreign country notified
the State Department a few months
ago that a certain captain of a for
eign army had been detailed to spend

Origin OF l..,.t,

This is the origin .. plum duff. ac-
cOrding to the captain of an Atlantic
liner:
Zone Christmas day, hundreds of
years ago at sea, ship in a storm
was swept by a comber that carried
off her cook, her crate of chickens,
her turkeys-in word, the whole raw
material of her Christmas dinner 90
"But the sailors were determined to
have at least some sort of Christmas
pudding. They knew nothing about
cooking, and they drew lots for their
new cook The lot fell to the boat
SWANS mate.
."This chap fished up a cookbook
from the bottom of his sea chest He
ran over the pudding recipes and chose
one that began:
"'Make a stiff dough-
''He made a pudding after this rec
ipe. It was stuffed with Malaga raj
sins and covered with a rich sauce.

The ShiIlaIah.

The shillalah is no raw limb of a
tree. 1t is almost as much a work Of
art as a well balanced cricket bat.
The old shillalahs were as carefully
looked after by their loving owners as
is a rife in the wilds. Cut from the
sturdiest of young blackthorns and
showing as little taper as an ebony
ruler, it was weighed with lead or iron
at the end nearest the grip so that it's
center of gravity was about four-fifths
Of the way from the hitting end.
When properly seasoned by being
kept in the neighborhood of the farm
oven for a few months it became a
thing of supple steel. And the proper
pronunciation of the name of this fear
some weapon is the melodious one Of
"shill-aily," with the accent on the
"ail"-London Chronicle.

CoNNoR's expenditures in the cam
paign would be more appalling if we
had not gotten used to such things be-
fore their disclosure. The primary
election law is standing invitation to
spend money 1t created the political
promoter who in turn found spots
where money could be advantageously
used. Most of the large sums of money
disbursed in campaigns was wasted.
The spending of money by candidates
has reached alarming proportions. All
of them spend all they can afford to
spend, and then some. Some spend
more than others, but this is because
they have more to spend, not because
those who spend less look upon the
practice as vicious. 1t is vicious, very
vicious at that, because it deters hon.
est, worthy, competent men from seek
ing office. 1t should be ended by legis-
Iation that will deprive the spender of
the fruits of victory. If not so ended,
it will not be many years before our
public officials will try to recoup through
the granting of public favors or in some
other way. The poor man who blows
in all the salary of an office to get the
office cannot live on wind. He must
have bread, and in order to get it he
must have the money. When he reaches
this condition something is going to
happen. -Stoughton Courier-Hub.

Settled the Sacristan.

A matter of fact sacristan OF the Ca
thedral of Berlin once wrote the king
of Prussia this brief note:
Sire-I acquaint your majesty, first that
there are wanting books of psalms for the
royal family. 1 acquaint your majesty,
second that there wants wood to warm
the royal seats. l acquaint your majesty,
third, that the balustrade next the river.
behind the church, is become ruinous.
SCHMIDT,
Sacrist of the Cathedral.
The reply of the king was not that of
a gracious majesty" It's stiff formal
ity in initiating the style of the sacris-
tan probably was not taken by the re-
ceiver as complimentary to him:
1 acquaint you, Herr Sacrist Schmidt
first, that those who want to sing may
buy books. Second. l acquaint Herr Sa-
crist Schmidt that those who want to be
warm must buy wood Third, acquaint
Herr Sacrst Schmidt that / shall not
trust any longer to the balustrade next
the river. And / acquaint Herr Sacrist
Schmidt, fourth, thar l will not have any
more correspondence with him.

The reciprocity agreement with Can
ada, now before congress, puts the tar
iff question squarely up to the produc-
ers in way that we shall soon know
whether they are really in earnest
about lower schedules or not. The
great popular grievance of the day,
real or fancied, is the high cost OF llv-
ing, mainly of food. Probably that
feeling is the main factor in what is
called the popular unrest. The most
reasonable theory is that this increased
cost of food is mainly the result of the
growing disproportion between the town
and country populations. There are no
longer farmers enough to feed the
urban population at the old prices.
Town demand has steadily outrun farm
supply. So Canadian reciprocity taps
new source of supply, and down go
the prices. Such, at least, is the
theory, though President Taft cautious
ly says the reduction will be gradual.
Under the leadership of Senator Cum
minis mainly, the agrarian middle west
has been vociferous for the claims of
the ultimate consumer, as against
the schedules of the manufacturer. And
now it is to be given dose of its own
medicine. The free list for Canadian
farm products which threatens to dock
the prices of the American farmers
products, is meant for the benefit of the
ultimate consumer" Well, how are
middle western and northern border
farmers going to like the prospect?
Something seems to tell us that chill
will creep over their anti-tariff enthu-
siasm. 1t is the old story: most every

THERE is a golden opportunity before
the Wisconsin legislature. 1t is to en-
act as few laws as will serve the pur-
pose for which it was elected; and to
make those laws simple, direct, en-
forceable. It is to avoid all tendency
or desire to waste time with freak or
fool measures, with enactments that
contradict.their own purpose, or with
measures so involved in their construc-
ton or entangled in their wordiness
that it will take several supreme court
decisions to make them clear State
and federal statutes are numbered with
laws that are not enforceable. Every
