washington, July 25.-(Special) FIFTY
years ago-to be exact, 80 years ago on
July 23-General Pope assumed command
of the Union armies in Virginia and Is
sued his famous order, which he lived
to regret many, many times. Its satirical
slurs upon the brave troops aroused their
instant animosity and the ridicule of the
press. 1t concluded thus:
II am sorry to find certain phrases
much in vogue among you hereof hold

bases of supplies. Discard such IDEAS

cess and glory are in front; shame and
disaster Turk in the rear
General Pope found that shame and dis
aster did Turk in the rear, and he got
more than his share of 1t. For never dld
poetic Justice more swiftly avenge insult
ed soldiery. One month later Stonewalt
Jackson personally took charge of Pope's
neglected line of retreat and base of sup
plies and the bombastie commander found
said shame and disaster in quite large
quantities. They lurked for him at Sec
ond Bull Run and tumbled him back to
Washington and into gnominious obscur-
ity-truly a study in busted pride.

uses the conditional clause. For instance,
he does not believe that the women OF
Alabama should have the right to ex-
press themselves as to who shall represent
the Sixteenth ward at the annual outing

not believe that they should cast ballot
when a governorship is the apple coveted
by two or more patriotic veterans of the

counter to the great cause of '1et the peo-
pie rule"
1t is a noble sentiment as sentiments
go, but in fighting for the Lord they
have no idea of turning loose anything
that they now have-not at all.
Self1shness of this nature shocks the
delicate sensibilties of the colonel. He
cannot understand why statesmen cannot
effaco themselves in the struggle for the
people and all that, and 1t fills his heart
with grief.
Them too, the patriotic hackers of the
colonel have shown a horrid disposition
to develop "cold feet" and there is moth
ing half so discouraging as cold footed
politician. Munsey, who has been liberal
to fault with the needful in promoting
the cause of freedom, and to consummate
the downfall of the bosses, has gone
away. He has taken himself far from the
busy marts of trade, and Is seeking the
cooling bIeeZes and summer skies of the
Alps, and has left the champion of the
initiative and the referendum to fight
alone.
Perkins, it is said, who has no nobly
contributed his mite to rid the country
of corrupt rule-truly a great and inspir-
ing spectacle-even Perkins-is beginning
to look at the matter with the cold and
judicial eye of a cold footed financier,
and 1t is limited believes that the colonel
is a poor investment. Only the patriotic
and freedom loving Harvester trust, rep
resented by that noble philanthropist Me-
dill Mccormick, remains to stand behind
the chief bull moose. Just when Medili
is slated to have heart trouble is not
known, but the symptoms are in evil

Ought to Be Grateful

These gentlemen have unselfshly do
rated millions of hard earned wealth to
the cause of liberty. The people ought
to be grateful, but somehow they do not
seem to respond to the generous advances
of these dsinterested men who have but
one great purpose. They have been sub
jected to cruel suspicion and not possess
sing the staying qualities of the. colonel,
il is small wonder that they are weaken
ing.
In the camp of Taft, the Bucaneer,
there is not that wild abandon and joy
over the spoils captured at Chicago as
one would ordinarily have reason to be-
lieve would obtain. Gentlemen who have
heretofore wandered aimlessly into the
republican headquarters With some $25,-
600 to $4,000 and carelessly gone away
leaving it behind them and forgetting 10
leave their address, are scarce this sea-
son. Several urgent appeals have been
returned to headquarters marked with
that cruel slangology Nothing Doing"
in red ink. This is alarming. 1t posi-
lively will soon become distressing.
