A Martyr to His DUTY.

Events have proved that when a men,
Der of the House Military Committee
declared that he would make things
hum in the army" (getting somebody's
hide) he knew exactly what he was
talking about. And when all is said
the entire unpleasantness primarily is
due to the row created by the Aims
worth reports last winter.
1t would * perfectly constitutional
for Congress to abolish the entire army
establishment, if it were foolish enough
TO do So The right of Congress to
make rules and regulations for the man.
agement of our army is indisputable
The army itself exists only by act of
Congress. What the Constitution says
in this respect is that Congress is to
raise and maintain armies. But it does
not command it to keep up an army.
However. if this right is indisputable,
the right of the nation should be equal

free from all personal, political, or
service bias. Unfortunately for the
present Congress, it is showing itself
susceptible to ali kinds of bias. 1t may
regard the General Staff as an sSpen-
sive luxury, or it may say that it did
not accomplish the purposes for which
it was created and hence should be re-
duced.
Action on either of these surmises
would be logical By agreeing to the
House conference scheme to Iegislate
Gen. Wood out of Office after March
4 next, the Senate supports a policy of
disintegrating our military establish
ment for the sole purpose of reaching
one officer who was unfortunate enough
to earn the dislike of the Military Com
nittee. The anti-Wood clause saws
that mo officer shall be eligible for the
position of Chief of Staff who has not
served ten years in the line with the
rank below that of brigadier general
This hits no one but Wood

has given ofbense to Chairman Hay, Of
the House Military Committee, BY an
tagonizing the latter's plan for reor-
ganizing the army. Besides, Mr.. Hay
was also the champion of Gen Aims
worth in the latter's attack upon the
entire War Department. Then there
IS Senator Warren of Wyoming. who
considered himself antagonized be-
cause Wood favored the abolition Of
army posts that have survived their
usefulness. incidentally, the Senator
is the father-in-law of Gen. Pershing,
who. by the favor of President Roose-
welt, was lifted from the rank of cap
tain to that of a brigadier general and
may have an eye to certain future
events. Finally. the line" always has
fought Gen. Wood, as it does every
staff officer who goes to high command
from the staff departments.
The worst of the situation is that,
as the anti-Wood feature of the bill
was carried on rider" the President
cannot veto it without debarring himself
from the use of the army appropriation.
Had it been a separate enactment Mr..
Taft, as commander-in-chief, could
easily dispose of the whole matter; but,
as it is, he would hardly like to 80
without all military appropriation, with
out the entire budget, in fact.
As for Gen. Wood, if his antagonists
succeed, he will not lose his rank. He
will be sent to department command
and some one else will be made Chief
of Staff Perhaps then Mr.. Taft, or
whoever will be President, may have
something to say.

Billy Kent. the California reform Con-
gressman, with the face as solemn as
that Of a railroad detective, is unable to
get q photograph Of himself that looks

natural about h.g appearance, and until
the other day he never knew what it was.
A Newspaper man desired a picture OF
Kent, and Kent fetched him one. 1t was

brown cardboard and covered with crink-
T. tissue paper. But II didn't look Ike
Kent. II showed his long. serious, horse
Ike face, and one could guess who II was
supposed to be, but there was something
bizarre about it-somethIng lacking The
newspaper man looked over kent's facial
topography and then back at the picture
10 see il a mole or wart or something like
that had been omitted. 'Twasn't that.
He compared the picture and the original
once again. and suddenly il dawned on
him why Kent's pictures never look much
like him.
why, man. exclaimed the corre-
spOndent; no wonder you don't take a
good picture. You've gone to the phOtog-

That was sufficient explanation. Kents
hair was nicely parted and patted down
on each side in the picture. whereas in

Hanna-who is a second cousin OF Mark

started q little bank at Fargo. Cousin
Mark Hanna lent him the money TO
start the bank. but the business never
made much headway until after Hanna
made that first trip to Mount Vernon.
It was in March, 1888 Hanna was
tempted by the low railroad fares to
Washington for the Inauguration. and
came on here to see Cleveland inducted
to his high place, and also to have a
look at the effete East. He took in all
the places Of interest around Washing
ton, including Mount Vernon. On the
way back he fell into conversation with
a man named Joy from Marshall, Mich.
and the chance meeting had a great in
duence on Hanna's affairs for many
years thereafter. Hanna remarked that
he was in the banking business in North
Dakota and went on to say IN response
TO the strangers questions that he made
a speciality Of lending money on farm
lands.
