gretted her deed and attempted to
stanch the flow.
Miss Mood was removed to the Spar

eff the governor of a State wished
to expend the entire amount of the
money received from the Dick bill in
paying the expenses Of junket Of

for them to do is to designate the trip

number Of the States have spent more
or larger portion of the Dick law
funds for the expenses of officers
than for an enlisted personnel. All
of this is a striking illustration Of the
dangers that lurk in a loosely drawn
militia pay bill. The decision of the
comptroller should convince the Ma
tional Guard tnat any militia pay bill
must have provision which places
the expenditure of federal funds un-
der the direction Of the war depart
ment. If the Dick law should be
amended, as has been suggested, so as
to provide pay for organized militia,
according to this decision of the comp
troller, there is nothing to prevent a
State from loading the federal pay roll
with a large number of high ranking
officers and make the militia pay bill

SOLDIERS WILL BE PAID
FOR ENCAMPMENT DUTY
Decision Affects Companies Whiel
Were Short Of Men at Summer
Exercises.

The FIVE companies of the Srd re-
giment, National Guard of South Car
folfna, which failed to have the mini
mum number of officers last summer
will receive the usual pay, as it is un-
! derstood that the war department de-
signation which kept them from re-
sewing remuneration for their ser
vices has been nulli1ed by decision
of the comptroller Of the treasury. The
four days notice of the encampment
sent the Sd regiment into the field with
five companies short the minimum
number of men, SO and two officers.
The Army and Naval Journal says,
discussing the comptroller's ruling:
b "In making this decision he over
rules the auditor for the war depart
ment and leaves the war department
without any authority to regulate
camps of instruction conducted by
State authorities The eomptroller's
decision IS Tar-reacnlng IN us enect
not only in the training of the National
Guard under the Dick law, but on
prospective legislation for the benefit
of the militia. In the case under con-
si9eration the comptroller decided that
eleven officers and thirty-three en-
listed men, or one officer for every
three enlisted men, was entitled to pay
without regard to any war department
regulations as to whether this small
body of men and large number Of Of
fcers was tactical unit. The logical

"A VALUABLE SUGGESTION
Important to Every One

Tt IS now conceded by physicians
that the kidneys should have more at
tention as they control the other or
gans to a remarkably degree and do
a tremendous amount Of work in re-
moving the poisons and waste matter
from the system by dltering the blood.
During the winter months espec-
tally, wnen we live an indoor life
the kidneys should receive some as
sistance when needed, as we take less
exercise, drink less water and often
eat more rich heavy food, thtreby
forcing the kidneys to do more work
than nature intended. Evidence OF
kidney trouble, such as lame back,
annoying bladder troubles, smarting
or burning, brick-dust or sediment,
Isallow complexion, rheumatism. may
be weak or irregular heart action,
warns you that your kidneys require
help Immediately to avoid more SER
ious trouble.
Many physicians claim that an her
bal medicine containing no minerals
or opiates has the most healing in
huence. An ideal herbal compound
that has had most remarkable sue

4 Liftle Ahout Human Natp~

The reporter has brought people to
taw several times, in this way: Some
one would be telling him something,
when the reporter would pull out his
note book. "Oh, you needn't say any
thing about it" the man would say.
ALI right" the reporter would re-
ply, walking off. "Well, I don't care,
you may mention it if you wish" All
the time the man would want it men
toned, but so strange and perverse
is weak, foolish human nature that he
is afraid somebody will think he told
the reporter and he would rather it
come from some one else. The re-
porter would like to emphasize the
fact that he knows something Of hu-
man nature and he does not take
hints, neither gives them. He takes
people at their word and makes them
hold to it. If man tells him not to
mention a certain thing he
acts as though he believes
the man means what he says.
If a man does not tell him not tt

THE MEXICAN ELECTION FARCE

Americans still remaining in Mex leo and even the well-informed Mex jeans themselves admit that the cleo ton scheduled for October can re suit in nothing less than a farce, says the Tacoma Tribune of Sept
 24th. It is conceded in all quart
 CTS that there are large areas i
 Mexico, even states, in which Huerta has absolutely no standing. He could not undertake to guarantee a fair election in a state that is held by his enemies and into which he is not able to penetrate even with his troops. An election under Huerta'
 direction, as conditions are in Mex leo at present, will mean merely a vote from the districts he controls and probably a vote as he dictates
 It is too much to expect that the COnstitutiOnalists will accept such a farce; that they will lay down arms and cooperate with Felix Di- az or any one else who might be put into the presidential chair by Huer- ta. And unless the rebellious ele- ments are given a hearing in the selection of a president and are sat isfied with the outcome, there will be no peace in Mexico. It is, of course, obvious that all factions can not win. But the election should be a free expression of opinion on the part of all the people, not merely the Huertaites, and should be pre- ceded by an agreement that all will abide by the result. That is what John Lind tried to bring about. It is impossible so long as Huerta maintains his present attitude

 THE ANSWER k EASY

John Randolph Tucker, 1T, O Virginia and F. M. SaNtou or Port land, Oregon, appointed to two of the most important Federal posi- tious in Alaska, is the news that came by wire yesterday, and this in the face of repeated official al- uouucemcuts that it is the policy of the administration to fill appoint i've offices within the Territory of Alaska with Alaskaus only.
 The query naturally arises: Why in view Of the solemn pledges the contrary, have these rank out siders been chosen in preference to men who have lived in the north for years, who have been identified with it's progress professionally, and oUh erwise in all it's phases of deyei opmeut, who are perfectly tamilia with our needs, and who, there is no doubt, are as Goliy competent in professional sense as are tn men who have been placed ill of flce@ It is quite true that lawye educated and brought up in tn south or in one oi the Pacific COas states can and probably will admin lster justice and enforce the law as we'll and us strictly as hom man. but will he do so any better or more impartialIy than will the lat ter? And it not, what is the ob Ject or motive for these appoint meurs:
 Reading between the lines the answer appears to be obvious, and is summed up in a very short sen teuce. "iuhmmCuy'
 When Mr. Burlesou took over the postmaster geuerulship he auuounc ed that no applicant for appOinmen as postmaster would be considered unless accompanied by the endorse meut Of State and county executive committees. shortly arterward tn Seattle postmaster resigned and steps w,r- taken by the local dem ocrats to ill the vacancy. Tn names of men of uuimpeacnable in tegriry of uuuuestioued ability and with a record of years of party IcaIty were forwarded for consider atiou, but before action could be talk en a bitter factiOual fight was on and the department was overwhelm ed an avalanche of remoEstran ces against every candidate that had been named. When the time came for the appointment to be made all recommendation were ignored an man who had only been a resident of the city for four years and who Was comparatively unknown, stepped into the place
 And again, this also in Washing ton state. The office of surveyor general for the state was to be fill ed. Again the fierce strife among the political jackals. Result: the appointment of Richard Roediger of Tacoma. who had never applied for the place, and who was probably the most surprised man in the state when he received notice of his ap poiutmeut.
