ARMY AND NAVY NOTES.
Not Enough Officers for Newly
Formed QuartermaSter Corps.
From The Tribune Bureau
Washington. Decembe'

PROBLEM FOR WAR DEPART
MENT.-The War Department is con-
fronted with a serious situation arising
from an insufficient number Of officers in
the newly organized quartermaster corps
OF the army. When the corps was Gre
ated by q consolidation o. the former
pay, quartermaster and subsistence de-
partments It was provided that there
should be a reduction I'm the number OF
officers. which would gradually go into
effect with a saving IN expense OF main
tenance OF personnel and in other direc-
tlons. This contemplated the assign
ment TO quartermaster duty Of officers
connected with regimental and battalion
organizations. 1t now appears that these
officers may not be eligible 10 such duty
The War Department has the matter
under consideration, and its decision Will
determine whether the quartermaster
corps is TO be seriously handicapped by
lack of officers in such an event II Will
be necessary 10 appeal TO Congress for
relief either by making additions 10 the
corps or by special legislation which shall
render available for duty regimental and
battalion quartormastcrs.
II is maintained in some quarters that
those officers may not De employed as as
sistants to other quartermasters, in view
OF the limitation which the law imposes
upon their capacity to receipt for money
that does not pertain 10 their respective
organizations Another question to be de-
termined Is whether or not officers Of the
regiment other than regimental quarter
masters remain available, as they have
heretofore, for detail to quartermaster
duty

LAUGH AND GROW FXT
Pastoral Poem.

Pastoral Poem.
I dearly love the simple life,
love to watch the lettuce
grow,
/ love to see the sun come up
And hear the lusty rooster
I love to wander In the fields
And watch the punkins turn to
pies;
Bucolic pastimes soothe the soul
Far more than swatting les.
I love to watch the brook, and
think
How many cocktails it would
make;
It's pleasanter than writing this
And things that make your
headpiece ache.
I wish that I might own a farm
And be a farmer grand and
free,

Like some great wave upon the
sea.
But I'd hate to get up at 3 a.
m. and rassle with pillow handles
until the cows come home.
Two old Scots were going
home one night after cornwall
session at public house. Fear
ing trouble ahead as the light

Donald:
Donald, I'll walk ahead Of We,
and We tell IL I'm walking street

Donald watched SANDY care
fully, and then remarked:
Sandy, mon, ye're walkin'
fine, but who's that drunken
loafer wi ye?"

NEW YORK, June 25.-They
hanged a fortune-teller, in Chi
cago, a while back. for completely
in the murder of several persons.
Every big city in the country is
infested with just such fortune
tellers" as this man was-despic-
able villains who get the credul-
Gus into their clutches, bleed and
defraud them, and will stop at no
crime when their greed is argus
ed.
Almost daily their nefarious
practices are exposed in the news
papers, the experiences of their
wretched dupes are related. But
it seems to do no good People
will flock to any rascal who sets
up in business as wizard. Su-
perstition has common sense
backed off the boards.
Over in Brooklyn a middle-aged
woman, widow of a wealthy mer-
chant, lies critically i'll, heart
broken, consumed with shame. as
the result of her experience with
a fortune teller. She thought she
was going to marry handsome
man, several years her junior. In
vitations were out for the we'd
ding. The florist and caterer had
been engaged.
But there is to be no wedding.
The bridegroom-to-be has disap-
peared. With him went $50, 900
which his fiancee had given him
to invest for her, on the advice of
the fortune-teller through whom
the two were brought together.

NEW 10RK LETTER x; as2

The victim is Mrs. M. e. Ken
nedy. Her husband left her
about 100000. She is a cripple
and a semi-invalid. Being lonely.
idle, and well-supplied with
money, she did what many other
women do--she went, perhaps,
merely for diversion, to palmists,
clairvoyants, and other purveyors
of the occult.
Among others, she visited one
Mrs. Kenneth Brown, in a "psy-
chology parlor" on West 45th st.
1t did not take the psychology ex-
pert long to learn that Mrs. Ken
nedy had money. And this is
what she told Mrs. Kennedy:
"You will meet a man soon whom
you should trust in anything. He
is a young man, tall, athletic. He
will advise you how to invest, and
how to live. Heed him."
Mrs. Kennedy did soon meet
just such a young man, sure
enough. He was an investment
expert" He got from her the
neat little sum previously mem
toned, and he also won her heart.
Then he vanished. So did Mrs.
Kenneth Brown.
Friends of Mrs. Kennedy who
have done some investigating on
her behalf have made the discov-
cry that a person know as Mr..
Kenneth Brown answers perfect
ly to the description Of the man
who duped and defrauded the ros
mantle widow.

Toast To the Re-United

Nothing is more interesting to the public than
the the re-courtship, rewinnng, re-marrage and re-
honeymoon Of a couple who have quarreled and part
ed In the case Of Mr.. and Mrs. Jack Cudahy the re-
marriage of estranged couple touches the heights
of romance This is so because of the extraordinarily
sensational features of their quarrel
There are several lessons in the affair. One is
that the outraged husband who fights for his mate
does so not always from the gnoble passion of jea
ousy, but because away down in the bottom of his
heart he feels that something very precious to him is
at stake The fact that he returns to his wife after
the white light of publicity has beaten ptilessy upon
their domestic hearth shows that his heart stood true
through it all.
What of the woman9 Why, she vindicates anew
her age-long character. What woman that ever lived
could resist the lure of the who will fight for her?
The harder he fights his rival the better she loves
him. And Jack Cudahy certainly finished his-manl
Finally, there is the lesson for the scoundrels
who prey upon the homes of other In the end
they get the contempt not only of the public, but of
the woman they sought to betray.
Here's to Mr.. and Mrs. Jack Cudahy! May they
live happily ever after!

Oregon's Fine Discomfort

The men who have given Oregon an extraordi-
nary measure Of popular control now propose re-
forms in another direction. They say they never
expected the initiative and referendum to become
the method of legislation but regarded those
institutions merely as weapons of popular defense
progress in emergencies.
Their present job is to make legislative and adj
ministrative machinery responsive to the popu
lar will For their model they turn to the English
parliament. Here's the new program:
A legislature with one chamber; giving the gov
seat in the legislative body; formation of
governors cabinet which would be appointive rather
than electives the placing under the governor direct
control of district attorneys, shers and all admin
istrative boards and commissions.
There is one good thing about Oregon. She is
animated by spirit of splendid discomfort. Nothing
is good enough for her If she think of something
better.

great hidden wealth; employment
will be given to thousands Of intelli-
gent labor, increasing the demand
for farm products many hundred
fold.
THE products adapted to central
and eastern Oregon being restricted
on account of climate, thus another
monster home market is created for
fruits and vegetables. The farmers
and merchants of the Pacific coast
basking beneath the intoxicating
rays of the happy sun of progress will
increase in wealth by millions.
"The logical way to raise this
money for these great state high
ways is by a generous bond issue.
We should not start out with less
than $25, 100000. The loss to Ore

at least $25,OOO,OOO. So you see at
a glance that the construction of
these roads is not a tax, but an in
vestment that brings a larger return
than that coming from any other
known legitimate means.
"The future children and tens of
thousands of citizenship attracted to
the state by these highways will pay
the largest part of this bond issue,
and the present citizenship will reap
the greatest harvest. 1t would not,
as all can plainly see, be good busi-
ness to turn down so great an oppor-
tunity."

BALLOTS ARE PRINTED
FOR COMING ELECTION.

The office force of County Clerk
Cheshire is busy these days getting
the supplies for the November cleo
ton ready and forwarded to the cleo
ton officers. The ballot for use in
this county was printed by the Cour-
ier, and is great blanket l6X33
inches in size.
Besides the names of the many
candidates who are running for the
various precinct county state and
national offices, the ballot contains a
mass of other measures upon which
the people are supposed to cast an
intelligent ballot OF local interest
there is the local option election for
the city of Grants Pass, which ap-
pears on the general ballot, and a
like clause for the balance of the
county on the tickets in all other
Josephine precincts. The county
will also be given an opportunity to
vote on the question of whether cr
not swine should be allowed to run
at large.
There is a maze of questions ap-
pearing on the ballot through the in
iuatiye and referendum act, and II
the individual voter is not prepared
beforehand TO deal with these
promptly, he will have long job
ahead OF him when he enters the vot-
ing booth, for 1t Is his duty to vote
upon them. but to understand them
when he does vote. Covering these
questions with arguments pro and
con. pamphlets were mailed by the
secretary Of state to every register
ed voter as were also pamphlets
covering the state and national can
dldates FOR office.
The election boards will have a
long session counting these ballots
and arriving at the vote on the mea-
sures referred, and 1t is expected
that some boards in the larger pre-
cincts will be counting we'll into
Wednesday before they finish.
