Washington, Jan. S.-Gathered at
the war department. today, by special
order of Secretary Stimson, were most
OF the officers in actual general COM
mand for a conference. which is ex
pected To have important results in
shaping the future organization of
the army. The movement began. last
summer, when, after a years hard
work, the War College evolved most
elaborate scheme of organization IT
the military forces with the purpose
of bringing these up TO the modern
standard
Among the topics for consideration
at today's conference We're the gener-
al relation between the land forces ct
home and abroad, the traditional mil
itary policy of the United States, the
joint use of regular and citizen sol
diers. the time required to rails.

army and a plan of tactical organ
iZation and administration adapted t.
the present disposition of the mobile
army Incidentally. there was involv-
ed such topics and the reserve, sys.
tenn, the organization of a skeleton
army and the frequently discussed
council of national Defence" which
has been SO strongly but unsuccess-
fully pressed in Congress.
Among the officers present were
Generals Murray, Carter, Maus, Fren-
erick A. Smith. Edwards. Wither-
spoon, Mills, Evans, MeClernand, Ma
comb, Barry. Bliss and Schuyler It
is expected that the conference will
extend over a week.
The conference was called to order by
Secretary Stimson. who explained ms
reasons for desiring the ofucers to gather
in Washington while Congress was in
session and matters of army legislation
were still pending.
Brig. Gen. William Crosier. as presi-
dent of the War College, was first invited
to address the meeting and outlined the
radical changes proposed to be made in
the existing organizafhn of the army
The purpose. he said is to maintain a
military establishment hereafter on d
war basis, not in the matter of number
of troops. but in the arrangement of
commands. and the creation of tactical
units so that a splendid mechanism will
be erected ready to respond at a mo-
ment's notice TO the call of danger. Thus,
instead of the present system, whereby
the commander of a military department
finds himself with several regiments of
infantry at one point as many cavalry
at another. a number of sea coast de-
fences to care for, and little or no field
artillery, one brigader general would be
placed in charge of complete brigade
with its proper proportion of each of the
elements OF the service, which, while
scattered somewhat within the limits of
several states, would be capable of
speedy concentration and utilized as a
brigade when required.

about President-eiect Wilson having

CALEB POWERS says it is an infamous
newspaper lie that he will quit Con-
gress because he is ostracised by the
Democratic members from Kentucky
and others, but because he is financially
unable TO stay in the game, which is of
course the baldest balderdash. Powers
could not make 1880 and perquisites
in half dozen years practicing the pro
fession he claims 10 yearn to return to.
He recognizes that he is worse than a
nonentity in Congress and knowing that
his constituents have become painfully
aware of it, he is wise not TO tempt fate.
He also says he has made no effort to
fraternize with the Kentucky Demo
ocratic members of Congress, which is
an untruth. He tried to push himself
on our own Congressman, Harvey Helm,
but was given the cut direct, when he
sat down at the same table with the
Eighth district Congressman, to whom
he attempted TO introduce himself, Il
don't care for your acquaintance" said
Mr.. Helm, who got up from the table
and sought another. Other members
also repulsed bis advances and he was
shown so strongly that they saw the
mark of Cain on his forehead that his
lingering spark of self respect has final
ly asserted itself and he wants to return
to where he will not be always remind
ed of his crime. Even the confines of a
jail is more congenial to him than Con-
gressional halls His sin can never be

A FILTHY LOT.

The trial of Gov. Sulzer shows a de-
plorable state Of affairs in New York.
The World states the case correctly and
succinctly when it says William Sulzer
was impeached by Murphy's assembly
not for what he had done, but for what
he had refused TO do. He was convict
ed by the court of impeachment not for
what he had refused to do but for what
he had done.
No matter what the motive of the
Murphy crowd was, the evidence was
conclusive that Gov. Sulzer had collect
ed large sums Of money for campaign
purposes. which be diverted to his own
private use and swore falsely with refer
ence to them, afterwards using the pow
or and influence Of his office 10 hide the
proof Of il. That the verdict is just
one seems hardly to admit of a doubt,
but there are those who profess to be-
lieve that the disgraced Governor is
more sinned against than shining. In
fact, he has been presented with a low
ing cup since his impeachment by over
ardent friends and the Progressives in
his district have offered him the nomi-
nation for Congress and he has accepted.
Though he failed to testify at the trial,
thereby indicating that he could present
no extenuating circumstances, the de-
posed Governor has since issued a state
ment which if it had been sworn to and
made before the court, might have
changed the verdict. Now, after it is
all over with. he meets the charges with
his unsupported denial and claims that
he is a victim Of a court packed by Muir
ply against him; that he has never in
his life been guilty Of an illegal act and
that he has served the people well and
kept faith. The marines will hardly
take to such a story. Sulzer says he
will be Governor again, but God forbid
Most people are fully convinced that
Suzer got what was coming to him and
should come to all Of his class, but his
conviction has not helped the cause of
Tammany, which has shown the power
of Murphy over office-holders and his re
lentless pursuit of those who do not do
his bidding. Tammany and its crowd
care nothing for the charge they made

DIR. w. W. Landram, of the Broadway
Baptist church, Louisville, has declared

all and special privileges to none. The
Bible in schools gives the friends of that
book special privilege over its foes.

A ONE-HoRsE preacher is running for
the Legislature in Lincoln against Edit
or Shelton NJ. Saufley, who goes for him
in the last issue of the Interior Journal.
He seems to have stolen Saufey's plat
form, but he says that even if he should
be elected he could accomplish nothing
and letter sent to Frankfort would do
as much good. Besides these two, Hon.
B. B. King is also candidate for the
Legislature on the Progressive ticket,
but the indications are that Sauhey will
beat them both hands down, as he
should. He can do something for his
people. The others would be like poor

will see that their interests are properly
taken care Of. Madison county isrelia-
bly, Democratic in local elections, but in
order to maintain this desirable condi-
ton the Democratic voters must assert
themselves. A ticket has been nomi-
mated that every Dem ocrat should feel a
pride in electing and should evince it by
going 10 the polls and stamping under
the rooster. In elections nothing should
ever be taken for granted. Vigilance is
the price of victory as we'll as liberty.

do so. II this they do, it is all over but

if the currency bill becomes a law its
present shape, it will inaugurate an era

fought over the rate of discount"
Mr.. Anterior has one of the levelest
heads we ever saw on a man and they

not persist in the passage of the bill in

amendments. A very sensible conclus-

THE question being put up to Presi-
dent Wilson, he decided that Mrs. Pank-
hurst should be allowed to enter the
United States. She was admitted on
her own recognizance and will not be
molested until she violates the laws,
when she will either be prosecuted or
deported. This seems a sensible con

against Sulzer. Their motive was not
TO punish him for them, but to punish
him for not obeying their orders. Sui
ger is shown TO have been very bad
man: but his effort to keep Murphy S
hand out of the State treasury should
be counted to his credit.
The impeachment of Sulzer is an I'M
parchment of Tammany, and if it will
result in the overthrow of the malign
power of Murphy over the politics of
the State, it will not be without its good
effects.
