Watson to Stump
the Country for Taft
Sherman Ticket.

Washington, July 15.-Former Ren-
resentative James E. Watson of Indi-
ana will stump the country for the
Taft Sherman ticket. This announce
ment was made last week after Mr.
Watson had a conference with c. ID.
Hilles, the new Republican national
chairman.
Mr. Watson has not always been an
ardent Taft man. Just prior to the re-
cent Chicago national convention he
created much gossip by advocating the
nomination of a dark horse, but later
he blossomed out as the leader of the
Taft forces on the floor of the conven-
ton.
Mr. Watson confirmed the report that
he was to tour the country for Taft
and and Sherman. but said that no ar
engagements had been made as 70
speaking dates. Governor Hadley of
Missouri, who was the convention floor
leader for the Roosevelt forces, but
who has announced his determination
to support Taft, also will be asked 20
make a nationwide tour.

BURN BUILDING TO KILL GERM
Only Way TO Get Rid Of Them, and
Occasion Was Made Good
Object Lesson.

A ramshackle building In Winston
Salem was recently burned at the re-
quest Of the local Anti-Tuberculosis
league, because it was said to be alive
with tuberculosis germs and could not
be properly fumigated.
For days before the building was
burned huge placards announcing the
hour of destruction and giving rea-
sons for the burning were hung about
in prominent places. Among other
things the glacards said within the
past is months two men who sold
fruit, ETC., here have died of tuber-
culosis, but unconsciously left millions
of tuberculosis germs by careless
splitting. The building is SO open that
1t cannot be effectively fumigated.
The only practical means of disinfect-
ing is by fire."
1T the appointed hour, while mil
liens of tuberculosis germs were be-
ing burned, 5000 pamphlets telling
how to prevent consumption, were dis
tributed to the crowd looking on.

supposed to be establishments for the dock
Ing repair and reftting of war vessels and not,
ordinarily, plants for the construction of new
warships although Uncle Sam has from time
to time constructed number of warships in
his navy yards and is building battleships In
navy yards at the present time. The function
of navy yards, therefore is to maintain the eff
hciency of the ships OF the fighting fleet and
they should be placed at strategic points.
The officials contend that we have considerably
more navy yards than the requirements Of the
fleet justify
The secretary of the navy recently did some
Investigating to ascertain how Uncle Sam
compared in possessions of this kind with the
leading foreign powers and the result will sur
prise many people. 1t was disclosed that the
United States has twice as many frst-class
home navy yards possessed by Great
Britain, although John Bull has navy about
double the size of ours and that furthermore
we have one more navy yard of the second
class than Great Britain has In other words
we have eleven first and second class navy
yards in the United States while Great Britain
is worrying along with six of the same kind
Germany has three and France five. Doubtless
far-fung coast line on two oceans to say
nothing of the Gulf of Mexico, has been large
ly responsible for our prodigal investments in
navy yards.
All the same this prominence in navy yards
has cost Uncle Sam pretty penny since he
began to acquire such holdings more than a
century ago. The sites for some of our navy
yards and naval stations (also coaling sta
tions) were gifts, but Uncle Sam had to pay
good hard cash for most of them and in the
aggregate such first investments totaled the
tidy sum of nearly three million dollars But
that was but drop in the bucket compared
to the expense of equipping and maintaining
these bee hives of activity. Indeed the total
cost for buildings, Improvements, machinery,
ETC., for these naval institutions has been to
date more than $160O00,000, while for the past
half decade the yearly maintainence of these
plants has involved an annual drain of more
than twelve million dollars upon Uncle Sans
pocketbook.
The worst of it is that some Of our navy
yards now in existence actually have not suffi-
cient water leading to them to allow modern
vessels to approach and lie at the docks The
explanation Of this queer state Of affairs is to
be found in the conditions during the early his
tory of the republic when our coast defenses
were of a minor character and it was thought
best to place the navy yards some distance
back from the coast for the sake of protection.
The vessels Of the old navy were of light draft
SO that location did not much matter but this
does not help matters today when the navy
men have to take into account battleships of
$1,000 tons instead of sloops of 1900 tons such

stalked off down the street. The honeymoon
was over.
But John will treat Mary according to the old
Indian law or he will lose her. She Is mar
ried according to the white mans way, but that
will not prevent the squaw from leaving MS
tent and returning to that of her mother II
she feels inclined to do So and nothing John
can say or do will have the least effect in fore
ing her to return to him. For number of years
the government has done all in its power to
force the Indians to marry in the white mans
way and to remain married after the ceremony
but very little progress has been made. Once
in a great while there will be an Indian we'd
ding performed after the white way, but
large majority of them take place under the old
Indian customs.
The Indian word for marriage is the equiva-
lent of "she followed him." and that phrase
tells the whole story. Literally, when an In
dian girl marres buck" she simply walks out
of her mothers tepee and into that of her fu-
ture lord AMI likewise, when she wants a
divorce she takes the back trail and returns to
her mother. The Indian law will not permit
the deserted husband to interfere with her In
any way, once she leaves his tent She is
then free to marry" any other Indian she may
wish to- Where divorce is so easily obtain
able the marriage vows are not regarded very
highly In fact, there are no marriage vows
whatever in the Indian ceremony.
The parents Of the bride and bridegroom
do most of the counting" and. contrary to
the general belief that the girls are sold to
their husbands, this is rarely done. The older
ones make all arrangements and then the young
buck calls on the girl They sit in the tepee
with the other members of the family, but so
close together that the old squaw throws a
blanket over them, hiding them from sight of
the others in the tent. Finally matters are ar
ranged to suit. and the young man, for four

John Lodgepole and Mary Steep Hill, full
blooded Indians, came from the Crow res
ervation last week to get married In the white
mans way, says dispatch from Sheridan,
Wyo. They brought with them numerous rela-
tives, and when the Rev. Mr.. Carney Of the
white church called them before him to per-
form the ceremony there were enough Indians
around the court house to start wild west
show But marriage in the white mans way
by the white mans preacher is not an every
day occurrence on the Indian reservations, and
when one does take place every Indian within
40 miles comes, If he can possibly do so. So,
when 1t becomes noised or was announced over
the Grow reservation that Lodgepole was to
marry Mary Steep Hill, daughter of Short Boy
and Buffalo Robe, every buck" who got wind
of the coming event came over to Sheridan to
see how it was done.
The bride was only IL years DID, while the
bridegroom was %. She was dressed in gown
of bright-colored calico, with gorgeous blanket
over her shoulders and she came as near to
looking pretty as is possible for Crow girl.
Dodgepole was dressed to kill" He wore
cowboy costume and around his waist
sash Of so many colors that Joseph's famous
coat would have looked like piece of burlap
beside it. A metal badge nearly as large as
saucer, was suspended around his neck by
buckskin thong. Every move showed the white
spectators that he thought he was comforting
a great favor on the Indian maid by giving her
MS name.
After the ceremony the bridal party started

though 1t may permit some of the other detalls
of the main scheme to be carried out because

If the big station were established on Nara

in the more southernly seas would be the new
naval station at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, which
is now declared to be the key to the defense or
our entire Southern Atlantic coast, the Gull
coast and the Panama Canal,--which latter
will have to be taken into account In all III
ture calculations relative to our naval do1ngs.
Guantanamo Bay offers deep water for accom-

number of our navy yards and thus eliminat-
ing a considerable portion of the Industrial
plants now scattered along our seacoasts as
Outftting and repair stations for Uncle Sans
war craft. Various advantages claimed for
the new method Of managing things, but one
of the principal arguments, as may be sur
missed, is that 1t will enable the government
to save lot of money every year.
Action by the congress of the United States
is required before this proposal can be car
rfed out in anything ike its full scope, but al
ready beginning has been made In line with
the new policy. Thus we see two navy yards,
those at New Orleans and Pensacola, Florida,
virtually abandoned save for caretakers, and
the work which was formerly done there trans
ferred to other plants in the south where, with
the larger forces Of workmen available, 1t can
be handled more expeditiously If the officials
have their way the navy yards at San Juan,
Port Royal, New London, Sacketts Harbor
Culebra and Cavite will also be abandoned In
short order. But Of course this Is easier said
than done, for no town or city wants to see it's
navy yard abandoned any more than 1t wants
to see one of its local manufacturing plants
removed to some rival city and consequently
each community thus affected can be depended
