A national exposition is proposed
for Louisville, KY, in 1915. 1t will
be known as the Lincoln-Davis Ex-
position, to mark the fiftieth ami
versary of the end of the war. Di-
rectors Of the Louisville Convention
League in an announcement call at
tention to the fact that both Abra-
ham Lincoln and Jefferson Davis,
heads OF the two governments OPP
posed to each other from 1861 to
1865, were natives Of Kentucky

IN our humble Judgment Senator
Simmons Numbered twice-Once when
he opposed the reciprocity treaty,
and again when he voted to save
Lorimer's official neck.-CharlOtte
News.
Yet Senator Simmons has as much
right to his opinion, and the exercise
of it, as any other individual. The
fact that he is a public official does
not alter the question if he believed
he was right. We are too intolerant
OF the opinion and acts OF Others
when they do not happen to agree
with our own.

Justice For The Railway Mail Clerks
Norfolk Virginian- Pilot.

Norfolk Virgnian Pilot.
1t is a pleasure to note that Post
master-General Hitchcock disclaims
responsibility for the official orders
which threatened disorganization Of
the railway service by making the
mail clerks already hard life totally
unbearable. These orders, as he
agrees, imposed unreasonable and
in some instances humiliating bur-
dens" Presumably they will now
be revoked, bringing the trouble to
an end.-Charlotte Observer.
For the good Of the service, it is TO
be SO hoped. But consideration for
the railway mail clerks should not
end with removal of the ''unreason-
able and in some instances humiliat-
ing burdens recently imposed as the
statement Of the Postmaster General
would indicate, by over-Zealous sub
ordinates in the department at Wash
ington. In proportion to value of
services rendered and danger incur
red in line of duty, the railway mail
clerks are, with the single exception
OF members of the Life Saving Ser
vice, the worst paid of all govern
ment employees. Not only aye th".r
salaries comparatively small : no
larger than private enterprise would
have to pay for work of a similar
grade-but their duty is such as to
keep them away from home a con-
siderable portion of their time, thus
adding materially to their living ex-
penses. That they are entitled, as d
matter OF plain and simple justice, to
be reimbursed for the additional cost
OF living so entailed ought to be too
obvious to admit of argument. The
Department itself recognizes the JUS
tice Of their claims in this respect, as
is shown by it's recommendation two
years ago of an appropriation to be
devoted specifically to that purpose.
Congress also joined in that recogni-
ton by authorizing the appropria-
ton, though SO reducing it in amount
as to make the average per diem al
lowance per man only about nine
cents.
The Postotfice Appropriation Bill
this season, which has already pass
ed the house, carries an Item prOVld-
ing a daily expense allowance OF
seventy-five cents per man. 1t is to
be hoped that the Senate, in which
the bill is expected to come up for
consideration this week, will neither
eliminate the provision nor reduce
the amount fixed. The allowance
provided is all too small at best,
and should be granted, not only as
matter Of justice to the railway mail
clerks but in the interest of the rail
way mail service itself. Economy
practiced at the expense of efficiency
Is not economy, but parsimonv. The
people, we believe, are no less insist
ent upon doing justice to their faith
full servants than upon receiving the
best mail service that can be prOvid-
ed. 1t is they who pay the bills, and
they are entitled to have their de-
mands complied with.

In this connection we think our
contemporary has done an injustice
to Miss Helen Gould. We do not be-
lieve she is one OF the cigarette smok-
ing kind. Our understanding is that
she is a very exemplary woman, one
who has not been spoiled by wealth
or contaminated by the vulgar
rich"-a woman who has done a
vast amount of good with her money
and who values it chiefly for the
noble use she can put it to.

w ASHINGTON.-An army of unem-

swoop down on this city following in
the footsteps of Coxey's famous army.
James Eads How of st. Louis, friend
ut the proletariat and protector of the
wandering tramp, will head this great
movement that Is to overflow Mary
land, sweep into the District of Column
bia and spend it's force against the
walls of the national capitol and the
great buildings of state along the
Washington thoroughfares. 1t will be
the first march of protest since the ut
ter failure of the Coxey movement
back in the '90s.
Somewhere between 250, 900 and $780,
600 of voorhees, workers are expected
to join in the march of the discon-
tented. The campaign to gather them
up is already under way. The first
plans for the great march were made
last spring at the Hobo convention in
Milwaukee. These have since been
perfected and it is hoped now that
half million from the party of dis
content will join the protesting column
in its march upon the capital city.

Midshipmen May Early Become Ensigns

IF congress acts favorably on a
recommendation made by the board
of visitors to the United States Naval
academy and Endorsed by the secre-
tary Of the navy, a young man who
has completed the course at the acade-
my will be commissioned an ensign on
graduation. Under the present law a
graduate does not get his commission
as an ensign until he has completed
the two years cruise at sea. This law,
it is asserted, discriminates against
the graduates of the Naval academy.
A graduate from the Military academy
at West Point gets his commission as
second lieutenant on the day of grad
uation, and a salary, which a graduate
of the Naval academy cannot obtain
until he has taken his two years
cruise.
Midshipmen receive $500 a year
while at the Naval academy, under the
new pay table, and during the two
years they spend at sea they receive
$1,400 annually. Not until they have
passed their final graduation-that is
to say, not until they have completed
their two years cruise can they get
the $1,700 which is paid to graduates
from West Point to become second
ieutenants and rank with ensigns.

Army Has a Mobile Fireless Kitchen

JINGLE SAM, like so many other
u alert and up-to-date housekeepers,
is an advocate Of fireless cooking. To
further satisfy himself of the efficacy
of this feature of preparing meals, he
has set aside, through the war depart
ment, $4,000 for the construction and

kitchen, which is the invention OF
Capt. Frederick Stopford, of the coast
artillery corps, post commissary at
the Preside of San Francisco.
This rolling field kitchen is designed
to feed men in the field on the march.
And it is owing to the good service it
has given, and which elected praise
from the officers in command, that the
device is so highly thought of by
Uncle Sam. The vehicle Is equipped
with a sufficient number of alright
compartments to prepare the rations
for two companies of infantry or
troops of cavalry, the outfit being ar
ranged to mount on any sort of wagon
or truck.
These fireless compartments consist
of large improved field range with
hot water attachments, large tank
for carrying hot water, and compart-
ments for meat and utensils. About

N the interest of Alaskan salmon
the extermination of the fresh-wa.
ter sculpin, called also "miller's
thumb "bullhead," or "blob," is
urgently demanded. 1t is worthless
fish, with tendency to feed on sal
mon fry and salmon eggs, and has a
Noracious appetite and wonderful di-
gest.ve apparatus.
Barton A. Bean and Alfred c. Weed
of the division of fishes, United States
National museum, recently have inves-
tigated the blob" and find that it is
extremely destructive to salmon eggs.
These fish have no trouble gathering
in the fry, two or three inches long,
and occasionally manage to corner
some larger ones.
Fourteen blobs were found to have
made way with 80 salmon and As eggs,
an average of almost three salmon
and a little over three eggs for each
fish. These blobs were not at all par
ticular about holding to the average,
as some of them had exceeded it mate
rally, nor did they bear out the theory
well known to every fisherman that
the bait is first turned by the fish and

swallowed head foremost. The blobs,
it seems. eat them both ways.
The destructive average of the blob
is estimated at six salmon a day,
which is maintained for about sixty
days year. This would make the de-
structive capacity Of one fish total 800
salmon annually, to say nothing of the
little trout gathered in and sometimes
little blobs. The latter kind Of feed
ing, however, meets with the approval
of the fish experts.
Blobs in general are bottom fish and
prefer to remain hidden under stones.
etc. 1t is just in similar places that
young salmon and trout hide at Ger
tain hours Of the day, usually when
the sun is hottest. It is then that the
blobs can get them with the least diff
ficulty. For this reason, it is believed.
the stomach contents of each of the
blobs examined represented one days
feeding and that under proper condi-
tons (when the salmon eggs or young
salmon are available) the same
amount would be eaten each day.
The greediness of some Of the blobs
was most remarkable. One had eaten
seven salmon, five Of which were about
two inches long and the other two
nearly three inches long. The last fish
eaten had been swallowed tail first.
AS there was not room in the blob's
stomach for this one, only its tail was
found there while its head stretched
up into the mouth OF the blob.

to do SO. This change, If granted.
would raise the bar which now pre-
vents midshipman from marrying un-
til he has completed his two years
cruise, or in other words, has obtained
his commission as ensign.
The prohibition against marrying
until final graduation is based on the
assumption that the midshipman is
not receiving salary enough to enable
him to support wife. The plea is
made that this regulation discrimi-
mates against the midshipmen. Theirs
is no bar to graduate Of West Point
marrying as soon as he receives his
commission as second lieutenant.
The board of visitors to the Naval
academy hopes to be able to persuade
President Taft to recommend in his
December message to congress that
midshipmen be made ensigns on the
day of graduation. The agitation for
this change in the law is not new, but
it seems to be becoming stronger at
this time than ever before.
