SEEKS YOUNG MEN
FOR ARMY SERVICE
Secretary Garrison Changes
Regulations to Encourage
Enlistment. !

In order to encourage enlistments In
the army. the Secretary of War has
made several amendments to the regu-
lations governing the recruiting serv-
ice. Adjt Gen. Heistand has 10
sued a circular announcing the re-
vised standards of requirements and
pointing out some OF the material adj
vantages Of service in the ranks of the
army
With other things it is specified that
applicants for first enlistment must
be between the ages of eighteen and
thirty-five years, of good character
and temperate habits. able bodied. free
from disease. and must be able to
speak, read and write the English lam
guage. Original enlistments are con-
fined to persons who are citizens OF
the United States or Porto Rco. or
who have made legal declarations OF
their intention to become citizens OF
the United States.
Married men will be enlisted only
upon the approval of rcgimen;al
commander or other proper command
ing officer.
How Tall Is a Soldiere
For infantry, coast artillery and en-
gineers the height of the applicant must
be not less than five feet four inches.
and the weight not more than 1870 pounds.
For the cavalry the height must be be-
tween five feet four inches and FIVE
feet ten inches. and the weight must
not exceed 165 pounds For the field ar
tillery the height must not be over six
feet and the weight not more than 1910
pounds. For the mountain batteries the
height must be not less than five feet
eight inches. Slight variations in the
standards are allowed, however. IL the
applicant Is in good health and is In
other respects desirable as recruit.
Marked disproportion of weight over
height Is not a cause for rejection un-
less the applicant is positively obese.
No man who has been member OF
the organized militia of any state. ter
ritory or the District of Columbia will be
enlisted In the regular army until he
presents satisfactory evidence that he has
been honorably discharged therefrom. The
term of enlistment is seven years. the
first four years to be I'm the service
with organizations, and the last three
years to be on furiough without pay or
allowances and attached to the army
reserve.
After stating the rates of pay and al
lowances during first enlistment and the
various opp ortunities for extra pay, the
circular says:

an entirely different face on the

friedman explains that he

of the professional apathy and

the German government to take

The Dearth of minister's.

A familiar comment comes
from a western theological semi
nary to the effect that fewer and
fewer men are consecrating
themselves to the service of the
ministry. This time a presiding
elder in Colorado takes the
trouble to explain the situation
in words which are doubtless Sc
we're even though ,stereotyped.
The elder says that men do not
enter the ministry for the reason
that they see better rewards in
other lines Of endeavor, because
this is a commercial age.
Such is the familiar comment.
This time, however, a group of
Colorado clergymen arise in uni.
son to offer al explanation of
their own. 1t is not the paraly.
sis of commercialist, but tyran-
ny of creed that is a fault, they
say
According to their view, the
number of men seeking the pull
pit decreases from year to year
largely because it is not place
of intellectual freedom. Why,
they ask, should We shut our
eyes to the truth that there are
hundreds Of young men who are
truly religious, but who do not
propose to put themselves in a
place where growth means either
duplicity or a trial for heresy?
Many undergraduates are uncor-
rupted by worldliness, but the
creedal bonds insisted on by
their denominations are abhor
rent to them. Their intellectual
training is such that they are re-
PEELED from a profession that
seems to them to mean the mere
advocacy of dogma. -Cleve.

DR.. Friedmann.

After DR.. Friedman had an.
nounced his discovery for the
cure of tuberculosis, it was pro.
claimed about that he guarded
his secret with the utmost care,
that no other physician shared
it with him, that he meant to
use it to make himself a multi
millionaire. Those statements
placed him in a most unfavora
bic light. He seemed to be lit
tie better than a murderer, in
that he would permit hundreds
of thousands of persons to 90 on
dying rather than share his Sc.
cret with the medical world. He
came to America. They said he
meant to exact million dollar
fees from certain rich men in
whose families the White Plague
is at work.

been interviewed. He declares

Governor Hooper
Chief Executive of the
State Does Some Plain
aiking to the Boiling
Members of lnvestigat-
ing Committee.


At the latter part Ct last week
Governor B. w. Hooper directed
an address to John M. Drane, of
the House, who claimed to be
chairman of a legislative COM
mittee appointed to investigate
State offices. Gov. Hooper took
the stand that Senator 5, ID.
Williams was chairman of the
com mittee and that the commit
tee was really composed of the
members appointed before the
Legislature adjourned for the
recess, instead of the member
ship being changed by the resig-
nation of one member and the
appointment of another, during
the recess, by Speaker Stanton,
of the House. Gov. Hooper con.
cluded his address to the boiling
section of the committee as fol
lows:
And yet it is a fact that can
be easily proven that a strong
effort has been made in the back
tax officials to stifle an honest
investigation of themselves, by
securing the appointment of a
subservient committee. I h e
facts surrounding the appoint.
ment of the House committee
and consequent events are a
scandal upon the Legislature and
the state. When a revenue
agent is permitted to go to

ton, when the same revenue
agent no longer ago than yester-

mind this representative that he

and when this rump
committee is organized to block

time for public attention to be
striklngly called to these mat
tiers.
IF the back.tax officials have
to fear from an investi-
cation it should not be impeded
by anv of them or their friends.

tiles and a fair indication that
the committee would not en-
deavor or be able to make par
tial or one sided affair of the IN
vestlgation; that both sides TO
the controversy would be repre-.
sented, and permitted to fully
participate in making the inves-
tigation and the keeping of the
records of what was developed.
This, evidently, did not please
members Of the committee in
sympathy with the back-tax
plunderbund. 1t meant too much
and too deep an inquiry for them.
1t evidently meant what they
didn't want, and their action in
boiling the committee and pre-
tending to want to make a sepa'
rate investigation is the best ev-
idence thus far made public to
indicate that rottenness in the
whole back tax business exists.
If the affairs of this vicious
system, as conducted in the past,
was clean, no sort of inVestiga-
tion and no matter how rigid,
would inculpate anyone connect
ed with its administration. There
is nothing clearer in the life and
conduct of the public men than
that clean conscience and clean
record will invite the closest
scrutiny and most searching in
yestigation, while guilty consci-
ences and shady records will
shrink from it, and when the lat.
ter is even more than shady, the
guilty will seek by various
means at their command TO pre-.
vent exposure.
Every phase of the commit.
tees work, especially in go far
as it relates to the administra-
ton Of the back-tax system, de.
mands that the most thorough
investigation be had and that
nothing be left undone to get at
all the facts. Such a course will
not only develop to greater ex-
tent than now known, the evils
of the system, but it will relieve
from censure and suspicion all
who are free from wrong doing
in its administration. 1t will
surely not declare men guilty of
wrongful acts who are free from
having committed such acts.
1t seems, therefore, patiently
clear that the fight against the
investigation is prompted by a
desire to conceal and prevent
from having brought to light the
wrongful acts of those who are
guilty of wrong doing. and this
fact doubly emphasizes the nee
esSity of q most thorough and
rigid inquiry into the conduct of
all the men who have had any
paat in the administration of the
back tax system.
AS stated yesterday, the duty
of the committee seems plain

Farmers Letter.
BY CAPT. T. F. PECK


There are two essential things
in carrying out any line of en-
deavor; First, to plan it, and,
second, t. execute the plan. Nc
man ever undertakes to build a
railroad line Until he has survey.
ed it. He then locates or stakes
out the line, and, Furthermore,
aseertaius where the money to
build it is to come from. Nc
lawyer pleads case until he has
first planned out carefully the
course that should be followed
with the testimony, aud has
made a skeleton or plan of his
argument. No wise minister
breaches a sermon until he has
at first carefully planned his out
line. The planning is the i'm
portant thing. The execution is
important also; for without exc.
cution the plan is worthless; but
without planning the execution
will be fruitless.
Farming ia no exception. The
farmer must plan his operations
for the entire year. In fact, his
plans usually reach years ahead
the rotations, the various crops
to be grown, the bearing of these
crops on his live stock operations
and also their bearing on the
maintenance of soil fertility.
There are few lines Of business
that require more careful plan
ming than that of farming.
Winter is the time to do the
planning; summer IS the time
for execution. The winter is not
the only time to plan the entire
years campaign, but the farmer
has the time necessary for the
planning. In the summer he
can think only of the execution
aud such notifications of his
plans as unforeseen conditions
may require. In winter all plant
growth is suspended, insect life
is dormant, and 1.-The marketing
of the summers crop, in the
form of live stock or otherwise,
is the main business. Work is
not pressing, the nights are long,
there is plenty of time for at.
tending institutes, discussing
farm problems with the neigh.
bors, reading agricultural books
and papers and getting full un-
derstanding of the principles
and practices, for which he has
n, time in the blsy summer
season.
In making his plans the farm
err must provide for unforeseen
contingencies. Farm business
can not be planned with the
same accuracy, certainty and
thoroughncss that can be used
in other lines of business. The
farmer cannot tell whether the
spring will be early or late,
Whether it will be- wet or dry,
warm or cold. He can only fig
ure on the normal temperature
and moisture. 1t may be neces-
sary to change his plans in mi.
nor details; but these possible
contingencies should be thought
out beforehand and plans laid as
to how to meet them.
He must determine in advance
what he will do in certain con-
tingencies. He cannot safely
plan for every day to be a dry
day, but he can plan for a GER
tain normal mum ber of dry days
and wet days.
The point we wish to impress
upon our readers is that now is
the time to do the planning.
There will not be time to do it
in the summer. Plan your work
carefully aud thoroughly this
winter and then give the sum-
mer up to execution.
