Especial Correspondence of the Starr
WASHINGTON, Sept. "A revival
of a Roosevelt policy has been an
nounced by the secretary of war, in
an order directing the establishment
of riding schools in various cities in
the United States to improve the
horsemanship of the mounted branch
of the army. Garrisons all over the
country have been ordered to estab-
lish schools of equitation," where un-
steady horsemen may be taught the
are of gripping fiery horse, no mat
ter what happens.
Since the famous Roosevelt order
requiring all army officers to ride
ninety miles in three days or retire,
there has been no such stir among
the military as was oCcasioned by
Secretary Stimson's order. Hereto
fore lieutenants of the mounted arm
of the service who were not graduates
of that branch were allowed to take
their Workmanship under the tutor
shiL of some other officer.
Criticism of this method as failing
on all occasions to produce competent
riders . responsible for the change.
Under the new system the schools
of equitation will be directly under
the supervision of the commanding Of
ficer, whose duty it will be to see that
aspiring young lieutenants stick to
the school until they have proved
themselves competent to become
teachers in the class for non-commis-
stoned officers.
Three seasons of training are re-
quired of all officers who are to be
taught the art of horsemanship. Com
handing officers may also direct the
attendance at the new schools of any
mounted officer, whatever rank, who
would be benefited by the course Of
teaching.
In addition, special instruction in
these schools will be given. to non
commissioned officers and selected
privates, for the purLo of qualifying
them to train recruits. The instruct
ors will be selected by the post and
Iregimental commanders, preferably
from graduates of the mounted serv'
ice school.

cuMMINs, STATEMENT.

cUMMlNS' STATEMENT.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2S.-Word was
received at the capital tonight that
Senator Cummins of Iowa, angered by
President Tafts attack on the tariff
record of the insurgents, had come
out for Senator La Toilette of Wiscon-
sin for the Republ can nomination for
President. This, at least, is the inter
probation that insurgents at Washing
ton are giving to the following state
ment contained in a letter written by
Cummins;
Personally, l am opposed to Presi-
dent Taft. If had my way he would
not be the choice of the Republican
national convention, and if it were
possible for me to prevent it, l don't
hesitate to say I would do so.
LA Toilette stands for legislation
that is perfectly safe and sane, not
withstanding the efforts that have
been made by his enemies to discredit
him as unsafe. His judgment on
great questions is reliable and the &C
cusation of being erretic and unsafe
and radical are made without any
foundation whatsoever. His views
are sound and the intense earnestness
with which he fights is the only thing
that leads many to the belief that he
is unsafe"
Cummins an Artful Dodger
1t will be noted that while this
statement is subject to an interpreta.
ton that will please the friends of La
Toilette, the insurgent does not COM
NIT himself to the Wisconsin man.
He does not say definitely that he is
for La Toilette for the nomination for
the Presidency.
To those who have talked with Cum
Minis it is plain that he has come to
the conclusion that there is no hope
for a compromise candidate at the
1912 convention. 1t has been known
here for several months that the rea
son Cummins refused to sign the petit
candidate was because he did not
care to put himself in the position of
being committed to the Wisconsin
man, feeling sure that the latter would
have no chance. His ideas are known
to have been that La Follette's can
didacy might have the effect of fore
ing the acceptance of COMPROMISE
candidate, whereupon he would have
been found standing with head bowed,
eXpectantly waiting for the lightning
to strike. He did not want to have
it said at such time that he and La
Toilette were tarred with the same
stick.
=. Struggle Will Be Short.
That there will be a short, sharp
struggle in the Republican convention
there is no doubt. While Cummins
has made no statement as to whether
or not he will work to send La Fol.
/ lette delegates to the convention, it
may now be expected that he will do
so. President Taft will have so over
whelming a majority of delegates
there is no doubt of his denomination.
The chief fight, therefore, will be
made over the platform to be adopted,
The insurgents will fight for a yindi-
cation of the Iowan's tariff maneuyer-
ing, but even on this point it is to be
expected that the supporters of Presi-
dent Taft will prove victorious. Even
the states from which the insurgents
came are divided, while the Taft sup
porters will be united.

THE CRUEL FATE OF A LEPER IN
THE STATE OF WASHINGTON AS
COMPARED TO THOSE IN HAWAII

son was fathered by the late DR..
Brinckerhoff of the Marine Hospital
Service, and was intended as a place
where the fullest scientific study of
leprosy might be made, under condi.
tions that could scarcely be improved
upon. DR.. Brinckerhoff gave up his
connection with the work after the
death of his wife, and left the Terri
tory, before the hospital had been en-
tirely completed. Since then there has
been practically nothing done on it,
and it is in the charge of a caretaker.
And as DR.. Wayson points out, the
Federal Government, with all its re-
sources, can afford it's single leper
patient on Puget Sound, infinitely less
in comfort and the things that make
life-even to sick MANN a measure
attractive. Compared with the condi-
ton of the lepers on Molokai Groven's
is truly living death.
Absurd Precautions.
In the light of all modern reasons
and knowledge, the precautions of the
Puget Sound physicians seem almost
absurd. No one knows yet how lep-
rosy is transmitted from one person
to another, but that it is not readily
contagious or infectious has certainly
been demonstrated not once, but many
times on Molokai. Here instance
after instance is to be found of per-
sons unaffected with the disease, liv-
ing in most intimate contact possible
for many years, and still remaining un-
affected. A few years ago an ancient
Hawaiian was discharged from the
settlement under authority of an act
of the Legislature, as not being
leper, who had lived over twenty years
among the afflicted. He is said to have
been sent to the station originally, dur
ing the days of the monarchy, through
some influence he was able to exert,
enabling him thus to accompany his
wife, who had been declared a leper.
The Hawaiians generally have no fear
of the disease, so that there was
nothing unusual in this proceeding
He lived with his wife until she died
few years ago, married again, and
when his second wife was pronounced
NOT n lamar flor a Observation-Disclosures
examination, and was released two
years ago, the aged husband at first
declined to give up his comfortable
home and easy life at the Settlement,
and so refused to be examined (since
by law none not leper may live in the
colony, except certain attendants).
Latey however, he changed his mind
and secured his release, and followed
his young wife.
Another instance, out of many, is
that of a Hawaiian woman, now
seventy-nine years old, who has been
in the Settlement as a ''kobua" or
helper, since 1876. She shows alb
solutely no sign of disease, notwith-
standing that in that time she has
survived no less than five leper hus-
bands.
Most physicians here who know any
thing about the disease, are unanimous
in declaring that ther are many com
paratively common maladies, Lartic.
ularly certain forms of skin diseases,
not to mention diseases
which excite absolutely no terror to the
average person, but which are in
reality more dangerous and more sure
ly fatal than is leprosy.

How Is This For an Obituary?

Probably one of the most re-
markable obituary notices ever
printed was published in the Sui
Ivan County Review at Middle
town, n. Y. recently from its
Montela, Ulster county, CORE
spondent. 1t is as follows:
A few days ago he was strick-
en- with poisoning from a wound
in the neck while fighting with his
wife when he was drunk. Doctors
Grindle. of Eureka, and Butts. of
Claryville, were in attendance, but
despite their utmost efforts the
poisson spread until as. last re-
sort they used the knife. The
operation was of no avail, how
ever, and now he amt here any
more.
Sam was an unique character.
Only once in a generation is a
community pestered with such q
human viper, such a moral x; he
was the unsolved conundrum:
What is he good for?' His only
virtue was the persistence of his
wickedness, his only excellence the
stability of his independence.
Boozeighter, liar, wifebeater,
chicken thief, eggstealer, profane
and vile of speech to the point of
nausea, he was the trade mark of
sin, the emblem of vice with no
crime but work beyond his capac-
ity. He was even worse; but he
has gone hence and it is never our
inclination to kick a man when he
is down.
Yet at death his proverbial
luck was with him. He goes be-
low just as the whitening frosts
and the chilling winds are usher
ing in a long and tedious season
for the good who are left. AS
was often the case when in life
and in Jail, he'll keep warm and
comfortable at others expense.
Well so long, Sam, and so long as
it is long, good luck"

Bank Advertising.

Some of Gle benefits that syste-
matte advertising has brought to
banks were shown at a meeting of
the Louisville Advertisers Club at
The Seelbach last week addressed
by John +. Speer. of indianapolis.
who spoke on bank advertising.
He showed how bankers in the
past ten years had been awakened
to the advantages of publicity,
and urged it was just as necessary
for them as the advertisement of a
retail business.
During the course of his re-
marks Mr.. Speer came out for the
publication of bank statements So
as to make them Ineligible to the
average man. This, he argued,
might be done by few lines of
advertisement explaining the pur-
port of the average atement.
