days. showing the difficulties and per
plexities of running down the willy and
dangerous insurrectos, who used to be SO
prevalent. Other features of the even

fun. and not one of harmful ridcule.
AT all of our previous dinners it has
been the custom to not only take certain
fun-making liberties with current events,
but also with the services and with in
dividuals, most of whom belong to the
order.
Annually, for eleven years. we have
offered an evening of entertainment to
many men high in public life. in the
business world and in the professions.

Secretary Daniels and Secretary Gar

to the dinner, are expected to be in a

Daniels Statement.
While l was there" said Mr.. Daniels,
the thing 1 thought was particularly
offensive was the song, Damn. Damn.
Damn the Insurrectoes.' Had / known 1T
was to be sung 1 would have asked
that it be eliminated from the program,
or | would not have gone"
The chorus of the song which was
sung with great Zest by hundreds OF
army and navy officers present, was as
follows:
Damn. damn. damn the insurrectos
cross-eyed kakiack ladrones,
Underneath the starry flag, civilize
'em with a Krag
And return us to our own beloved
homes
The word "ladrones'' is the Spanish for
robbers and "Krag" is the army abb
breviation for the krag-Jorgensen rifle.
Held in Bad Taste.
1T was i'm bad taste to sing that song,
said Mr.. Daniels. "It isn't like the Grid
iron Club or other organizations outside
which are Independent of the government.
When heard the song / turned to JUS
tee Vandeventer of the Supreme Court,
who was sitting beside me, and said
rms Will be resented if it goes to the
Philippines. He said with a laugh: Bet

time, but they went too far. If they
had stopped to think | am sure they
wouldn't have done it,"

Song Fifteen Years Old.

The song Damn, Damn, Damn the In
surecto' was inspired fifteen years ago,
during the instruction in the islands,
in the heat of vicious campaign and
amid hardships and privatons, and il
was sung by the first volunteers that
went to the Philippines, and has been
every year since. AS the words of the
song indicate, the men wanted the in
surrection over and TO be returned to
their own beloved homes. AS it stood
originally the song read Filipino instead
of lnsurrecto. Three years ago it was
recognized that conditions had changed
and SO the wording of the song was
altered so that there would no longer
be fling at the Filipino.
All in Spirit of Fun.

Take Affair as Joke.

Rear Admiral Howard and other mem
bers of the dinner committee denied re-
sponsibility for the statement quoted
above, but the assumption of responsible
ity for it by DIR. Heller came voluntarily
on his part. All of the songs, the jokes
and other matter concerning the dinner
were known of in advance by the MEM
bers of the dinner committee, but thew
took the position that the entire affair
was a joke.
Following the assumption of RESPONSE
bility for the Philippine statement by
DR.. Heller, talk of courts-martial and
other serious punishments were not heard
as frequently as they We're yesterday

Assessments to Be Annual.

The bill to be drafted for the approval
of the House District committee will in
clude the majority, possibly all, of the
following features:
Annual in place of triennial assess
ments. Both the investigating commit
tee and the District assessor agreed that
trienn.al assessments work inequalities
in many instances.
The repeal of the fixed tax rate of IL
per cent, leaving the rate to be fixed an
nually by the requirements of the budget.
The recording of the true consideration
In all real estate transfers. Although
the subcommittee recommended that this
be incorporated in a general law on the
subject. covering the proposed new sys-
tenn of assessments, bill to effect this
was reported from the House District
committee only few days ago. 1t means
that on all deeds transferring property
the actual amount of money or con-
sideration of any kind passing between
buyer and seller must be recorded.

Order of the Carabao, Rear Admiral
Howard. Brig. Gen. Aleshire and Brig.
Gen. Mcintyre, composing subcom-

Secretary OF War Garrison and Score
tary OF the Navy Daniels full report
of what occurred.
The Presidents demand for a fun in

his withdrawal of his acceptance of
honorary membership in the order, caused
great connection in army and navy
circles The general attitude of army
ana navy officers was that the spirit of
the banquet was one of fun and the fun
should not be taken seriously
Crux of Situation.
The crux of the matter today narrowed
down to the responsibility for advance
statements about the dinner, given to
the newspapers, in which it was said that

MOTTO FOR CHRISTIAN HOME
Ideals Which Consistently Lived Up
to. Cannot Fail to Make for Hap
piness In Life.

This home is dedicated to good will.
1t grew out Of love. The two heads
OF the household were called together
by a power higher than they. To its
decree they are obedient Every tone
OF the voice. every thought Of their
being, Is subdued to that service.
They desire to be worthy OF their
high calling, as ministers Of that
grace. They know their peace will
go unbroken only for little time.
And often they suspect that the time
will be more short even than their
anxious hope. They cannot permit so
much as one hour Of that brief unity
to be touched by scorn or malice. The
worlds judgments have lost their
sting inside this door. Those who
come seeking to continue the har-
mony which these two have won are
ever welcome. The rich are welcome.
so they come simply. The poor are
welcome, for they have already
learned friendliness through buffeting.
Youth is welcome. for it brings the
Joy which these two would learn. Age
is welcome, for it will teach them
tenderness.-Collier' Weekly.
