WASHINGTON. - improvements in
w present-day methods of baking
bread in the field for the army over
the methods of only year or two ago
were seen in a demonstration at the
Washington barracks the other day,
before a delegation Of officials from
the war department Those present
were Gen. Henry G. Sharp, commits
sary general Of the United States
army; Col, David L. Brainard and Maj.
Henry G. Cole.
One of the feats performed was the
loading Of an oven, capable Of doing
the cooking for hundred and fifty sol
diers, on a wagon in seven minutes
and three seconds. This was about
one-third of the time which a similar
demonstration in oven packing had
consumed two years ago, according to
the officials.
No housewife or French chef could
have turned out a better dinner or
winter, brown-crusted bread than did
the cooks in the open air with their
'take-down" ovens, in the opinion of
the watchers.

Tremodeling the tariff schedules in such
way as to force any one industry,
previously dependent upon the tariff,
| to sell in a free trade market and to
buy in a protected one; nor would we
contemplate the turning of the Amerl-
can market over to manipulated 0y
| foreign tariffs and export bounues,
where the results would be the Wiplng
out Of an American industry by a tenn
IpOrary lowering OF prices, and subse'
quent raising of prices under foreign
control and for foreign enrichment.
I'VE espouse these principles, not
solely because they would forbid the
heavy and cruel blow proposed against
Louisiana. but because they are ap-
picable to any industry in any state,
because they are necessary guides
to all just men striving for a tariff
reform which will destroy evils for
the consumer without creating them
for the producer. The control of the
Mississippi river, so as to preserve
its navigation and to protect the Mis-
sissippi valley from overflow, is a ma
! tional question, involving a national
obligation. The task is beyond the
means of the localities and should be
undertaken by the Federal govern
lment. We instruct our delegation to
the National Democratic Convention to
use every honorable means at their
command to secure in the national
Democratic platform the Endorsement
of the national control of the river.
I'VE assert our belief in th9Rpften-
expressed plan of direct election Of
| United States senators and call upon
congress to submit to the states for
ratification an amendment to the fed
eral constitution providing for the di-
rect election Of senators, but We OPP
pose the pending Bristow amendment
on the ground that it takes the control
of election out of the hands of the
state authorities. We favor the i'm
mediate ratification Of the income
tax amendment to our federal legis-
lation, which said amendment is now
pending before the Legislators of our
state.

Finds Huts Upon a Lonely Island

n UIDNUNCS at Washington, those
~ gentlemen who are always asking,
What now?" enjoyed a considerable
thrill of mystery and curiosity in dis
cussing the recent report of Rear Ad-
miral Southland, who on board the
West Virginia visited Palmyra Island
and 81 of lesser isles, lying about 1000
miles southwest of Honolulu, about 80
miles from Tanning Island.
The Palmyra group, says Chapple's
News Letter, was proclaimed a part of
Hawaii in 1882, but since it has ap-
peared to the state department only re-
Gently that Great Britain had annexed
them in 1885, Rear Admiral Southland
was dispatched with the West Virginia

especially to search for any public
monuments conflicting with the United
States claim to the islands. His re-
port on this point is very clear and
explicit, to wit: 1.-THE results are def
