OF
 NINTH CAVALRY IS
 BEFORE ARMY COURT
Dr. Thomas H. Edwards, We'll Known in the District, Faces Charges of Ugly Nature at Camp Douglas.

The many friends of Dr Thomas II. Edwards, veterinarian of the Ninth cavalry, will be interested in the court martial proceedings which have been instituted against him at Camp Doug las The veterinarian was a frequent visitor in Bisbee last fall and is known particularly well in this section The following is from the International:
 Friends of Dr. Thomas H. Edwards the Ninth cavalry veterinarian, who was tried Saturday by a court-martial on charges brought by Private Wm Horr of the Twenty Infantry, are confident that he made such a strong defense and had SO much iust- lication for what he did that the war department will clear him after sift- ing the evidence submitted by both sides.
 The formal charge against Dr. Ed wards is conduct to the prejudice of good order and dicipliue." The accu- sations on which the charge is based are that without provocation or req son. he stamped to death a dog be. longing to Company l of the Twenty second Infantry; that he made an as. sault on Private Wm Horr by kicking him. and that he used profane and abusive language Edwards is said to have pleaded guilty to the charge of assaulting the soldier and ejectine him from his tent. but denied the oth CT accusations However be admitted the truth of the charge that his con. duct was to the prejudice of good order and discipline"
 How It Happened.
 Friends of the doctor are explaining today what led to the altercation in the tent They say that Edwards was entirely justified in what he did and that the actions of Horr and his dog were enough to make the most even tempered man angry. Their version is different from that given by friends of Horr According to their story Horr acted in a way to invite trouble Moreover they say that the testimony shows that the pet terrier died from natural causes and not because of any punishment given by pr. Edwards
 According to this view of the case Horr never gave the veterinarian any waning about the tendency of the dog to bite when being doped with medi cine until it was too late. Edwards had given the dog a dose of medicine and was proceeding to wash it dowr with a beaker when the anima

Beautiful Talk Is Made By Rev. Frye at the Funeral of Walter Brooks; Many Attend Last Services.

The closing chapter in the great book Of Walter Brooks was finished yesterday Amid the gathering Of his friends, amid the atmosphere Of righteousness and right, he was in- tered in Evergreen cemetery The cortege of friends, which followed the body to the grave. was ample proof of the high esteem in which the de- ceased was held
 Rev John c. Frye, pastor Of the First Presbyterian Church, oniciated at the ceremonies. In his testimoni- al, spoken at the funeral, the charac- ter of the man, Walter Brooks, was elaborated upon. His motives were shown and the talk was more than well received by all who heard it
 Both at the grave and at the home of his brother J. L. Brooks where the funeral was held, Mrs. Harring- ton and Mrs Moon, accompanied by F. R. Reynolds. rendered appropriate and beautiful music.
 The talk of Rev Frye follows:

, creases in the future so will the cost
of living.
To make clearer my statement that
the poor man has been paying almost
as much toward defraying the ex-
penses of the federal government as
the rich man, permit me to correct
the impression of the average person
that some part of the taxes he has
been paying to his local tax collector
has been sent to Washington for the
purpose of maintaining the federal
government. The truth is that not
one penny of the taxes we have been
paying our local tax collectors has
come to Washington. Every penny
of such taxes has gone toward defray-
ing the expenses of township, city.
county and state. Therefore if a mil
lionaire pays heavy state tax none
of it goes toward defraying the cost
of the army and navy or maintaining
the federal government. The manner
in which the people have been sup
porting the army and navy and meet
ing all other federal expenses has been
by paying increased prices for things
eaten, worn or used. The local grocer
and dry goods merchant have been
the federal tax collector without
knowing it, or without his average
customer knowing it. To the extent
that the average poor man eats the
same amount of food as the rich man
he has been paying as much tax.
Funds for the maintenance Of the
army and neavy, as we'll as all other
federal expenses, have thus in the past
been raised wholly in the form of in
creased cost of living.
It is true, of course, that we now
have an income tax law on the stat
utes, and this will help some; but un-
til the tax on incomes in excess of
$4,000 annually is increased much
above the present rates, and until
there is stiff federal Inheritance tax
law, so that those who derive the
greatest benefit from military expendi-
lures will bear the heaviest burden of
their cost, as they should, the poor
man will continue to carry the heav-
lest load in proportion to his ability
o. pay, Just as he always has done
and just as. the stone in tIiebot tom |
If the wall bears more weight than its |
more fortunate brethren on the top.

1t is pertinent to inquire where the
millions that have been pouring into
militarism to the enrichment of the
armor and ammunition capitalists
came from. These millions were moi
picked up in the streets and they were
not contributed by the rich. Our citi-
zens have not contributed in proper
ton to their wealth, but the poor man
has paid on an average almost as
much as the rich; and since there are
SO poor to every rich man.. it means
that the millions that have piled up
in the pockets of the armor plate mag
mates have come from the pockets of
the poor.
And this is the feature of militar-
ism-gone-mad that strikes home-the
fact that the wasted millions did not
come from an income tax or inheri-
lance tax levied on those best able to
bear the burden, none OF it having

practically every penny of the $4,000
100000 expended on the army and
navy in the last 10 years came through
the custom houses. and the internal
revenue OFFICES. Since. custom houses
and internal revenues offices do not
levy taxes on men according to their
wealth or ability to pay, but solely
upon things the people eat, wear and
use. it means that the people pay the
arn1or plate makers bills in the in
creased cost Of living
Therefore it is but logical that the
cost of living must increase in proper
ton to the cost OF mi1itarism-and it
does, as the table heretofore given
shows beyond successful contraduc-
tion. The people may as well know
that as the cost Of militarism in-l

fixedly toward Dodge Hall.
Suddenly his v~igilant attention
seemed to be riveted on the house.
He drew a field glass from his pocket
and leveled il. Sure enough, there
was a man coming out OF a window,
pulling himself up TO the roof by a
rope and going across the rooftree.
He lowered the glasses quickly and
climbed of the fence with a hitherto
unwonted energy.
Come. Searchlight." he called 10 the
dog. as together they moved off quick
" in the direction he had been look

Del Mars men were coming through
the hedge that surrounded the Dodge
estate just as the farmer and his dog
stepped out in front OF them from be-
hind a thicket.

He enforced his words with a VI

road parted and Del Mar stepped out.
