KILLS WHITE DEER:
SELLS 1T FOR $500

KENDALL, Wis, Dec. 2s.-one OF
the prizes shot during the hunting
season just closed was that OF white
dear. killed near Ladysmith, Sawyer
county.
A man bought 1t for 5000. his pur-
pose being to give 1t into the hands
or taxidermist for mounting. II Will.
If properly mounted. be worth $500 to
$500.
The extra value OF the white deer
is due to the fact that 1t Is exception
ally rare II is freak animal. One
was shot in Wisconsin about 20 years
ago, and one about eight years ago.
Besides the one shot last week. there
Is but one other white deer known to
exist.
II is also stated that there Is jet
black deer OF huge proportions stalk
ing through the Wisconsin woods.
This sort of deer also is freak, and
would be worth much If captured.

The next member on his committee
is Joshua r. =. Talbot, OF Maryland.
Talbott's qualifications as a member
OF the committee on national defense
read like the obituary OF a lately-de-
ceased member OF an asylum for re-
tired Democratic office-holders. He
was born in lS43, and served as a pri-
vate In the Confederate army. He
was prosecuting attorney in 1871: was
a delegate 10 a national party convene
ton In 1876, and again In 1904 and
1908; he has served on the Demo
cratic national committees, and began
being a congressman In the orty-sixtbi
congress; served six years, and afterl
an interval OF being insurance COM
missioner, was reelected TO the fifty-f
third congress and TO the fifty-eighth.
since when he has served six consec-
utive terms. His Maryland prejudices'
may lean TO little or big navy.
The committee is firmly prejudiced
on one side or the other. But his
qualifications for service as "com.,
mission OF national defense" are OBJ
vious
Other names on these committees,
are: Albert Estopinal. OF louisiana;
Daniel J. Riordan, of New York: Sam

The single man on the Democratic
side OF the committee who has had

not count, OF course. The chairman
OF the committee on military AFFAIRS

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2s.-wh,

WASHINGTON, Dec. 29.-what is
preparedness In the navy and army.
and what policy the United States
should adopt as TO the size and kind
OF navy and army, are questions de-
cided at present by a few civilians
learned in the practice OF the law and
practical politics. The committees In
the house and senate on naval and
military affairs are really the "com-
mission on national Defense" insofar
as this country has any such institu-
ton. These gentlemen prepare the
annual budget for the army and navy.
and therefore they hold the purse
strings and are the real power TO
which the great departments OF navy
and war bow. Before these commit
tees admirals and generals and chiefs
OF stan and members OF the general
board truckle and wheedle.
Congressman Gardner was twitting
on facts when he said to the naval af-
fairs committee, you gentlemen must
bear In mind that am neither pris-
oner at the bar nor an admiral The
committee was INDUCING In its custo-
mary practice OF brow-beating, The
congressman happened to be con-
gresham and 10 be immune from ar
rest and immune also from having his
departmental appropriation cut down.
Therefore he did not fear TO talk back
to this committee.
Ordinary admirals and generals do
not dare to express opinions contrary
to well-known prejudices OF the mem
bers OF these committees. The latter
are experts in bullying and cheese
pairing and delight to show their pow
er by giving or Withholding In petty
ways what is asked or recommended
by department experts. The man who
holds the purse strings always Is the
power.
These committees-our council or
national defense. as the Democratic
platform names it--are made up OF
veteran members OF the house and
senate and are graduates not in mill
tary matters. but in the gentle art OF
getting elected TO congress and stay
ing there. Most of them are lawyers.
They are men who are known TO the
country at large. Take, for instance,
the chairman OF the naval affairs COM
mittee of the house, Lemuel p. Pad
gett. He comes from Tennessee, and
was born and brought up in the small
town OF Columbia. He Is so years old,
J a lawyer. and graduate OF Erskine col
lege, of Due West s. G. He practiced
law In Columbia many years. and
finally was elected to the state SEN
ate. He was member OF the national
monetary commission, and has been
in congress eight terms-16 years.

OF the council of national defense, but

the speech--several times, in fact,
or as many times as Phil. had
rehearsed IL before his bedroom
mirror, and her opinion was that
II was too heavy. but II was too
late to change IL.
II had required hours Of re-
search and study and deep dig

Phil. had put together pretty
