INSURGENTS LIKE
new ICE MACHINE
Van Calder Says Woodmen Fac
ton Leaders Blow Hot
and Cold at Same Time"
OENISON CHANGES FRONT
Dubuque Man Held Up as Example
Of Inconsistency in Advocating
Principles.

In an interview this morning, F. o.
Van Calder, editor OF the Modern
Woodmen. said some OF the leaders of
the insurgents are coming out from
behind the brush heap and are declsr-
ing for an increase In rates OF so per
cent on the older members and % per
cent on the younger members OF the
society
These insurgent leaders" Mr.. Van
Calder went on to say, would remind
one of the machine that has recently
been invented for the manufacture of
fee. 1t blows both hot and cold at the
same time. This machine can be used
for cooling in the summer time and
for heating in the winter time. In this
respect. IL resembles the insurgent
leaders, who. when they think IL will
please the members OF a certain camp,
advocate an increase in rates, but
when they feel that the audience does
not favor an increase in rates, de-
nounce and condemn and vociferously
declare against any increase in rates.
The ice machine above referred to has
not been named, l understand. and

cations as TO his position on the rate
question, said that IF II were left with
him, he would raise the rates now paid

% per cent and those paid by the old
er members so per cent"
The rank and file of the insurgents"
Mr.. Van Calder comments, ARE justi-
fed in Telling surprised at the position
taken by Neighbor Denison in the
camp at Manchester. because they do
not know him as we do. Mr.. Denison
Iectured in many camps in Iowa in
1902 and 1903. urging the adoption OF
adequate rates at that time, and he
was paid for his services by the So
ciety. At this time he Is one OF the
leaders of the insurgents and that
faction has declared against any In
crease in rates whatever. Mr.. Deni- I
son seems to be out to win. and judg-
ing from his past record. he will do
or say anything. just SO he gets there. /
In this respect, ne is no different from ,

VETERANS IN PENSION
OFFICE TO Be FAVORED
Will Be Considered in Cutting Down
Salary List. Says Commissioner
Salzgaber.

Veterans will receive cons Iteration
in the Forthcoming wholesale reduction
OF force a the pension bureau. accord
ing to q statement made by Pension
commissioner Salsga ber. Previous APP
preparation acts have cut down the
number of employees to be paid salaries
in the bureau. and the Legislative. ex
ecutive and judicial bill carries salaries
for 40 fewer clerks than last year.
Commissioner Salzgaber was asked
for his attitude toward the old sol
dlers in the necessary reductions. He
said:
Those in charge of the administra
ton. who are my superior officers. have
Informed me of their desire to favor
the old soldiers. and to comply with
the spirit as well as the letter OF
legislation in behalf Of the old sol
diers. as found in the civil service
laws.
BY reason of the regulation Of sal
aries only such accounts are TO be paid
as are justified by the ability of til.
employe to perform his duties. and
also the character of the work under-
taken. This test applies to soldiers
vel as to everybody else. but even in
determining that question they are
rlshtfully shown preference.
AS is generally known. the work OF
the pension bureau has decreased to a
considerable extent by reason of the
fact that the great body of the civil
war soldiers are now pensioned I'M
der what is known as the age and
service law.

"MANCHU" LAW SUSPENDED.
War Department Order to Meet Ext
gencies of Mexican Situation.

The "Manchu'' law has been suspended
OWING to imminencc of war with Mexico
This does not mean that officers on de
tachcd service will receive credit %,
service with troops while the law is sus-
pended, but that commanders are en-
titled to keep officers on detached service
without violating the law or being liable
to its penalty. ....@
Aside from the necessity for allowing
the Secretary Of War to have free
hand in sending troops to Mexico and in
the general distribution of troops. the de-
ticency in transportation funds makes
il important at this time that the de-
partment should economize and make as
few changes in the stations of officers
as possible.
