officers know very little Of the plans
"They certainly have an army there
that Is ready for duty" said Captain
Brewer today. "They have 1900 men
at the camp and they are trained as
thoroughly, as athletes. The regiments
are now up to about 1000 men each and
new men are being added. Sixty men
from the recruit barracks We're placed
in the Regiment the day before I ar
rived Just to illustrate the splendid
condition Of the army they did some
thing last week that showed their Mt
ness for campaigning. The maneuver-
ing is done out at a place some twenty
two or twenty-three miles away and
they usually take two days for the trip
each way. The Twenty eighth infantry.
with which I was connected. decided
on the last trip in to make 1T in one
hike. They started out at 6:l5 y. m.
and had moonlight journey AT $3.50
a. m. they swung into their camp and
as they passed the colonel they walked
with light springy step and the men
were singing or whistling. Much of that
distance they walked In dust three
inches deep. How they stood It Is n
mystery to mo. But 1t does show we
have an army there ready for a cam
paign on a moments notice. At San
Antonio they have 1900. but with the
others at Houston. FL Paso and others,
they have about $4,000 men"
No more of the Iowa guard officers
will be sent to San Antonio as 1t Is
evident that the maneuvers will not
last much longer.
The appeal case which Attorney Gem
eral Cosson has in hand for the Sep
TENDER term of the supreme court ought
to settle for all time the rights and
duties Of the district court in the mat
ter OF fixing Discriminate sentences UNI
der the Iowa indeterminate sentence
law The fact is that the legislature
left the matter in a not very satisfac-
tory condition.. as an attempt was made
to provide for the indeterminatc sys-
tenn while still preserving the anti
quated fixed term system. In the case
in question William Adams was SEN
fenced for burglary. which under the
law calls for an indeterninate sentence
which can not exceed twenty years.
The judge undertook to limit it to two
years. When the man was committed
the warden made tho entry of TWEEN
ty years on order of the parole board.
Later tne OOard TOOK up the case ana
paroed him In tho meantime habeas
corpus proceedings had been COM
menced to test the matter and these
proceedings are now to go TO the SUI
preme court. The real question at
issue is as to whether or not the
court had a right to limit the term for
burglary to two years, and whether
after this had been done the board had
the right to ignore the matter.
Senator James A. Smith. OF Mitchell
county. passing thru the city paused
long enough to make special request
that the newspapers discourage any and
all talk about him being a possible
candidate for congress or anything else.
Senator Smith is out of politics so far
as seeking anything for himself is con-
cerned.

A NATIONS GOODWILL.

The silver wedding anniversary of President
and Mrs Taft to-day awakens a sympathetic
response in the heart OF the nation. In mo-
ments of great JOY or great sorrow we lose sight
of the official and remember the man. hence,
not much because he is the President. but
because of the JOY and tender sentiment in the
Taft home to-day, a nation is glad and breathes
forth its sincere good wishes
The Tafts deserve the blessings and the glad
ness that are theirs Their home life has been
haowed by a sweet and tender affection and
sanctifed by spirit that appreciates and EN-
phasizes the best things in culture and char
acter The nation has never been put to shame
by any coarse excuses or any unseemly frivoli-
ties: its high ideals of domestic life have never
been rudely shocked. The Taft home has stood
for things American and things high and the
American people wish President and Mrs Taft
multiplied joys and blessings upon this happy
occasion.

pANyrLLE pEsoLATE BUT UNpAUNTED

No who knows Danville who has wan
dered beneath the shade OF her magnificent
trees and wondered at the beauty Of her resi-
dental streets but will commiserate that fair
city upon the havoc and desolation wrought by
the storm of Sunday afternoon. Houses were
unroofed. trees uprooted, shrubbery destroyed
and phone and light wires blown down. Sum
day night the city WAS in darkness, with no
means of rapid communication transporta
tion, and Monday morning the business of the
community at practical standstill, pending
the natural readjustment of things and prepa-
rations for the restoration OF the normal order
The whole State win extend its sympathy, and
especially will ii regret the desoation wrought
on one of the most beautiful residence streets
in the entire South.
But Danville is undaunted We know the
spirit and resources of those Danville people
well enough to believe that this storm is but
an incident in the life, and will shortly be but
memory in the minds. of the citizens of Dan
Vile. With characteristic intelligence energy
and enterprise they are already at work remoy-
ing the ruins of the cyclone and restoring the
normal order of the community. In few DAYS
the visitor to Danyile will find no trace of the
storm.
