in the remotest degree does he ven
ture to suggest that the army is sub
ject to the same form of graft as the
navy. He does discuss some startling
features regarding assertions from
the army, which, in spite of finger
print methods and the organized aid
of the police, continue to increase;
and he makes some revelations re-
garding private diseases which are
shocking to those not familiar with
army conditions, but of the graft in
contracts for supplies for the army
he mentions not word. Yet the
army conditions are even worse, if
possible, than the navy.
For instance, tables and figures
prepared by Col. George Montgom-
cry, commandant of the Frankfort
government arsenal at Philadelphia,
show beyond dispute that a ring of
private manufacturers, as vicious as
any that ever preyed on the navy, is
outrageously overcharging the gov
eminent for munitions of war. Col.
Montgomery's figures show that the
government could save between 20
and so per cent on army contracts
running into millions of dollars each
year, simply by increasing the ca
pacity of the government arsenals
and itself manufacturing its war ma
terials. Yet the Secretary of War
does not mention the subject in his
report.
Col. Montgomery shows in his re-
port that the government saved
$979,S4094 by manufacturing it's
own ammunition at Frankfort ar
senal instead of giving the contract
to private manufacturers on con-
tracts between July 1, 1912, and April
25, 1913. The cost of government
manufacture was $500, 064.O5,
while the same. amount of ammuni-
ton, if manufactured by private
firms, would cost $2,879,804.99, or

ed by private manufacturers Uncle
Sam is losing just exactly $312,-
214.84. Just this amount of the peo-
pies money would have been saved
had the War Department itself man
ufactured this ammunition, instead
of contracting for it's manufacture
by private corporations at profit
Representative Clyde H. Taven-
ner of Illinois, who has introduced
into Congress a bill to extend the
governments plant at Rock Island,
Ill, which is his home district, points
out that these costs are based on
manufacture at the Frankfort ar
senal, where coal must be used to
obtain power. He shows that if the
manufacturing should be done at
Rock Island, or in fact at any other
place where water power is available
(the government has power plant
in the Mississippi at Rock Island) the
cost would be still, further reduced
and the people saved that much
more. .-.....
But Mr.. Tayenner has been unable
to get any satisfaction whatsoever
out of the War Department. They do
not deny the force of the figures pre-
scented, but say simply that they can
take no action until Congress takes
up the. matter. The committee to
which has been referred the Taven-
ner bill has refused to act. The
House organization leaders tell the
young Illinois congressman that they
cannot take action without recon-
mendation from the War Depart
ment. Secretary Garrison calmly ig-
nores the matter in his annual re-
port. And there the matter rests.

OUR REVERENT NEIGHBOR.

We confess to a Feeling Of disappoint-
ment in our friend, the Sentinel. We
supposed it had the courage of its own
irrcyerence. and would stand by its own
profanity. Yet when public attention
is called to its wonderful paragraphs by
translating them into plain English. it
promptly side-stcps its OWn wit, by try
ing to pay Il compliment to the tender
use Of the phrase Dy Mexican mothers,
and declaring its profound respect for
a great religious institution. Assurcdly
the name which is the greatest name III
heaven and earth is used tcndcrly in all
Christian lands and by Ill Christian PEG
pie. Nevertheless ii is hard 10 believe
that even the Sentinel expects any one
to be fooled by its cOwardly evasion of
it's own cOarSencSS and profanity. What
the Sentinel did was to take a coarse
English phrase. which it dare not print
in lis prOfane English dress. and attempt
to disguise ii by trying to express it in
one of those pretty terms of cndcarmcnt
for which the Spanish language is 50

ton Of 1912?
Having now given this little SidciSsUe

The government appears 10 be puzzled
in the matter of the telephone trust.
While competition between Telephone
lines in one small city may make cheap
rates, the presence of two or more com

make for the development of the higher

The only look ahead in that matter for

ever way it goes. The only sane way
out of it seems to lie in the di-
rection of public ownership of such

Quoted by the American Federation OF

interesting and gives some idea Of the
widespread effect which the American
Federation of Labor's efforts are hay
ing. The following is an excerpt Of the
article referred to, the purely political
references being eliminated:
The steel trusts prodigious conces-
sion in wages, the bearing of which we
are just beginning to grasp, gives
fresh and more vital interest to the
whole labor question in the United
States. For we know how it would be
here. Were so vast an increase
amounting, we are told, to $12,500,OO
a year,, to be conceded in the remun-
Grafton of labor in one Of our trades, 1t
would be seized upon by trade unions
in general as the strongest evidence
that the remuneration Of labor had
Jagged unduly behind the remunera-
ton of capital during a period Of pros
perity, and it would be the certain pre-
cursor Of a season of discomfort, and
of a struggle for a rise in wages all
round, attended by strikes. The action
of the trust, it seems, nay have a po-
litical significance. These two and a
half millions sterling, it is said here,
are thrown to the wolves Of tariff re-
duction to delay their pursuit. But
even if they succeed in choking off the
section of the pack that is chasing the
steel schedule, will it not whet the APP
petite Of other sections in pursuit Of
other schedules?"

Last evening the final game between
the freshmen and the junior hockey
rink n ended in a 2 to 0 score for
the latter team. The game was well
fought throughout and the freshies
held their upper classmen scoreless in
the first half, but in the last half the
juniors strengthened up and after a
few minutes of play Captain Pearson
of the juniors landed the first goal.
This was soon followed by a score by
Lane and then the scoring stopped.
Kurtzman of the junior team played a

Epstein was the big feature as he stop
ped many difficult shots. Van Els at
