line. But this old ."art" of war. se., standing men up shoulder to shoulder and killing them in masses-has gone, and with it has gone it's swelling phrases.
 Now it's business of stepping around a corner of narrow street in a palm tree town and being "sniped" from a window. It's job to be done and done without any of the high panoplied circumstances of fields that produced the older heroes. Just a squat town in a blazing latitude, a hidden enemy who doesn't like the open, and a customs house and cable office to be seized. Really simple matter and it is soon done. Nothing spectacular about it, no heia3ts to scale, no hollow squares, not even an army to look on; but when the work is done and the flag is hoisted and everything is again quiet the cable carries back the word" snip ing fire encountered"

PRESS OPINIONS
"SNIPING."
(Kansas City Star.


 "Sniping" is a word that got early into the dispatches from Vera Curz. It was bound to come soon or late, and it came soon. It is word that always comes back from whatever tropical cable station the obligations of the white mans burden may sum- mon the national police.
 'Sniping" is an ugly word, with mighty little hint in it of the pomp and circumstance of war, but in these days when battle has a less magnlfl- gently stern array, but far more ef- fective killing range, it spells kind of fighting grimmer than any with which, in times past, more lofty ana tingling phrases have glorified the business of arms. The old language of war was made up of vocabulary of light brigade charges, Waterloo hol- low squares and Moscow rear guard defenses. It was language wonder fully well adapted to poetry and pas sionate historians, but not greatly en- dowed with what George Sands has called the accents of truth.
 A spectacular slaughter conducted in close formation and to martial mu- sic produced a laureate ode, mar shal's baton, and regiment of dead men known thereafter as the thin req

 O ROGRESS ROSPERITY
HIRD TERM BUGABOO.

It is reported in Pine Bluff that Mayor Charles E. Taylor of Little Rock will be a candidate for re-elec- tion to. that office, and is not likely to have opposion, although 1t IS explained, "this will be his third te-m."
 And if Mir. Taylor has made Little Re ck a good executive, and we be- lieve lie has, why should he not be re elected, be it for his third Or his 'stcenth term?
 Tie third term hugaboo is used in Arkansas and other Southern states that few officials offer for a third term, realizing that no matter now well and how conscientiously they have served their chances of being again employed are lessened by the fact that they are flying ill the face of a foolish tradition.
 It might not be wise to keep a president in office for twelve years; it might be unwise to keep some of- ficia.s in office eight years. Experl- ence teaches the people have been unwise in electing some men for even two years, but this is not sufflclen' reason for not re-employing man who has given good and honest service.
 Those who aGvance the third term bugaboo as a reason for defeating a good official place themselves Ill tRe attitude of contending that public oi- flee is a sort of grab bag, where eacI man who will should have turn to dig into the peoples pocket. Un' fortunately, this is frequently the situation. But times are changing and men with. them. People arS commencing to realize that public office is not place for one to nne his own pockets at the expense ol the people and without rendering service for his remuneration; voters are beginning to demand that an of' ticial give service for the salary ol
 
 peruuisites he receives. And this is { good siga, although it Is bad TOT the inccmpetents who would live off the people, and who, all too often, cal offer no other reason why they shoulC be given preference over their op ponent than that he is running fol third term"
 There is no more reason for discharf ing d good public official because he has served two terms, than there is for firing bank cashier, Or machine shop foreman, or planta ton overseer, simply because he has been four years or eight years in th' service of the firm or man. In prl- yate life conscientious work is re warded This policy has proved sue cessful. It is a good policy to fol low in hiring men for public work Instead of discharging man because he has served two terms, the polio, ought to be to keep the good offlcla in office as long as he behaves him self.

CAPITAL GEEGAWs TAXED
 FOR FIRST TIME SINCE 1908

Washington, Aug. 9--For the first time since 1902 a new law as- .sessing taxes on ieWelry and "other articles of personal adOrR- ment" owned by residents of the National capital went Into effect today. Most criticism of the law, naturally, came from wealthy so- ciety women whose jewels are re- nOwned for their great value and beauty. The biggest tax on any single jewel, 1t was said, will be paid on the notorious Hope diamond purchased some time ago by 4Is. Edward B. Mclean, wife of the owner of a Washington newspaper. and daughter of the late Thomas F. Walsh, Colorado mining king. Thoua- ands of dollars additional revenue was expected to result from the Law, the best part of 1t being according 10 the Iaw's framers, tho increased revenue will come from the poeketa of those who can well afford 1t end not from the common people.
