EACH MUST HAVE
ITS OWN PROGRAM
All Political Elements Will
Engage in Great Re
\ vision Battle

Washington, D. c., Aug. 24.-The
Democrats. the progressive Republi-
cans and the regular Republicans will
have, their own programs for tariff re-
vision when congress reconvenes in
December.
All three elements in the senate will
be engaged in great battle on the
general subject Of revision The trend
of the fight will depend largely upon
the report OF the tariff board and the
recommendations of the president in
connection with that report
The regular Republicans do not an
ticipate much actual tariff revision at
the coming session because OF the
wide divergence Of opinion in the SEN
ate. They contend that failure is like
ly to follow attempts to bring to-
gether the regular a orp dnfhen--
gether the regular and progressive
Republicans or the latter and the
Democrats.
Neither the Democrats nor the pro-
gressive Republicans, whose alliance
swept revision legislation through the
senate until the combination was
broken on the cotton bill, are willing
to predict a renewal of that alliance
in December.

Do You Know How to Tell
the Rank of an Army Officer?

colonel an American eagle perches.
Generals, in their seventh heaven, have
stars, one for the brigadier, two for
the major general. How did all this
originate? Here's the story: The young
second lieutenant, at the bottom of the
tree, is on the ground. Promotion
brings him first to one limb. then an
other, and later to the leaves Towards
the top the leaves are silvered by snow.
while on the highest limb perches the
eagle, who soaring higher. flies up
wards to the skies. Easy to remember
isn't it?
And to appear real wise call all lieu
tenants mister unless perchanee he
IS of the medical corps. when you may
say doctor" but from captain on up
use the title. That is the custom of the
service.
Arms Of the Service.
ANY one can guess crossed sabers on
the collar designate the cavalry, so
crossed rifles are for the foot soldiers
and cannon for the coast and field ar
tillery. The medicos wear Mercurys
classic cadencus; the signal men.
crossed flags and torch, while the
brainy engineer has a castle. The
quartermaster has not an army mules
ear. but pen, sword and wagon wneei
and a new moon shines for the COM
missary. Some one has suggested this
took its origin from the fact that the
commissary. being the foraging branch
of the army, prefers to do its nefari-
ous work of lifting chickens and corn
on a dark night, but this is not true.
Some Ancient Customs.
Not only in insignia do you find
traces of olden days, but in many otn-
er phases too. or example, the saoer
salute comes from the Crusades. when
the knights touched their lips to the
hilt of the swords in token Of kissing
the cross Why does a witness In a
court martial remove his right glove
in taking the oath? Because a hundred
years or so ago. ,deserters and other
malefactors were branded on the palm
of the right hand, and So the glove
must come off to show the court the
witness is unbranded. Even the hand
salute is said to originate In once
upon a time when leaders, unable to
trust their soldiers not to stab them.
required the open hand at the visor
as they passed, to show no dagger
was there concealed. Another theory
takes 1t back to the days Of ancient
Rome when the 1egions shaded their
eyes from the dazzling glory OF the
emperor as he passed.

GOOD APPLES FROM

L r. Millican left at the Ell Paso
Herald office today eight apples from
one of his trees planted nine years ago
on his ranch just north of Allamore in
this county. This tree and its mate
began bearing at three years of age,
and have produced apples each year for
six years. They are smaller this year
than heretofore on account Of the very
large number on the trees but some
of the samples weigh half pound.
There have been a number larger than
these, however.

was filed today by Harry X. Thaw
through his attorney, former governor
Stone, to the petition of his wife, Eve
lyn Nesbit Thaw, IN which judge Davis
was asked to appoint lunacy commits
sion to take charge Of the income Of
Thaw in this state and to provide for
the support of the wife. Thaw's in

Thaw says that the verdict of the
jury in New York state was not
finding that he was insane. and that
the decree combining him in Matteawan

as to lunacy. He contends that the
fact that he is still confined in the
Matteawan hospital under the order

Local Option = Not
Morally Wrong to Grant
Liquor Licenses.

ATLANTIC CITY, May 27.-Follow-
ing the address of Colonel w. j. Bryan
at the Presbyterian Assembly on Tenn
perance, the Nebraskan assisted at the
cornerstone laying of the new Chelsea
Baptist Church. Bryan had no speech
for the cornerstone laying, and the
Rev. Robert M. Rabb had nc subject
to suggest, so they allowed the dis
tinguished to choose his own
topic.
Much to tho surprise of the crowd
that had gathered to see the new
church started on its way, Bryan be-
gan to talk on heresy. disbelief, the
holiness OF the Bible and, by inference,
the Rev. DR.. Grant. although he did
not mention this now unfrocked min
lister by name.
81 want to say to you good church
people who have gathered here" began
Colonel Bryan, that the church has
no use for the man who doesn't stand
for the Bible. +,
Neither has the church any use for
the man who would reduce the Saviour
to the size of a mere man.
"These wise men of today have their
opportunities to make a book as good
as the Bible. Otherwise men ave had
their chance for 1900 years. Let them
oduce this better book and accept
our book.

In the evening the great music hall
at the end OF the Steel Pier, where Mr..
Bryan had been invited to speak to the
Presbyterians on temperance, was
crowded as upon no other occasion
since the opening of the general as
Sembly.
He said in part:
'I am speaking to an audience of
Christians and shall discuss this cues
ton from the standpoint of Christians.
1 shall begin with the assumption that
all Christians acce-t Christ's measure
of greatness, namely, that greatness Is
measured by service and are anxious
to render as large a service as pos
Sible.-
"A Christianity that does not make
a man a better citizen would be diff
cult to defend. The liquor question is
a moral question which must be dealt
with as a question of conscience and
not as a question of profit.

asserting that it is morally wrong to
license the sale Of liquor at any time
or under any circumstances. | would
deal with. the conditions, to be met and
adopt such measures as in my 5udg-
ment would most effectively decrease
the evils of intemperance and most
rapidly establish local abstinence.
"Any unit, however small or large,
should be permitted to rid itself Of the
saloon, or place restrictions upon the
sale of liquor, according to the will of
the majority-a larger unit controlling
the smaller whenever the larger de-
sires greater restrictions.
"A saloon is a nuisance; it's influence
for evil can no more be confined to the
building in which it is conducted than
can the odors of a slaughter house be
confined to the block in which it is
located"
