NOT A MAN IN SIGHT

year and half before a presiden-

 usually has it's mind fairly made up.
 It may not have decided whom it will
 nominate, but it has a choice before it.
 It knew in the middle of 1882 that 1t would nominate either Blaine or Ar thur; it kneW in 1886 that it would nominate Blaine if he would take it, and when he wrote his Florence letter
 it met the emergency by being willing to take any dark horse that could
 make the right arrangements with Platt; McKinleys nomination was fore shadoWed from the moment he carried Ohio in 1S93, and, of course. there was never a reasonable doubt about the renominaTon of Roosevelt. Nor would there have been any about the renomination of Taft if it had not been for the extraordinary man who challenged him.
 But now. for the first time since 1860, the republican convention is only year and a half away and there is not man in sight For the last year there have been Industrious

TRENCH DIGGING
 S A FINE ART
Experience of Recruit Who Found
 War Is Not All Fighting

LONDON, Jan. 2-Recruits who
 have been put to learn trench dig
 ging are soon converted to the view
 that there is more art in the work
 than would appear to the uninitiated.
 A gardener who recently Joined
 Lord Kitchener's army and is train
 ing at Chelmsford, told representa- tive of this paper that he thought
 he knew what digging was until he
 was put to trench making.
 T shall never forget my first ef fort A company of us was marched some two and one half miles, picks and shovels on our shoulders. Some engineers were in charge. Our first day was fine. and we commenced vigorously on the lines marked out for us. The first few digs were as child's play, but soon we came across i stone and clay which l thought would have broken the heart of the most able navvy that ever turned over a bit of the Strand or Black | friars road.
 'The unaccustomed exercise made l feet and arms alike ache, but non com. who seemed to take pleasure IF
 our work, assured us that with | little practice and plenty of perser- | verance digging would grow to be | one of the choicest occupations Tn life The few uncompiimentary things he said were all meant in the
 same kindly spirit. We had four
 and a-half hours of this. and at the finish our ditch seemed no more fit
 for the accommodation of human be- ings than a country brook after n heavy fall of February rains.
 1 "Make that into trench said
 the non-com. in a tone of disgust,
 why. the whole things spoiled, You'll all shave to begin over agaih | tomorrow So it fell out. Digging is a fine art that even gardener doesn't quite understand. It was a | full week before I helped in making | n trench with cover. underground hospital. and a host of other contrl- vances which passed muster as Tar
 lv middling,' I will say this, though, | trench digging swells the muscles and gives an enormous appetite.

should he aggraVate or incur an
agents disfavor.
Am glad you have published that
the law governing employment or
theatrical agencies states 81 is the
gross fee that can be charged for Sc
curing job, position or engagement.
None of the theatrical agencies COM
ply with the law in exacting that legal
fee, because by the system exposed
by Mr.. Knight in The Day Book more
money can be garnered in.
Mr.. Knight says the only hope of
the actor is in Organization" from
such oppression, but he does not say
what organization?
Nearly all theatrical agencies are
either owned or managed and have
attaches who display emblems of the
Masonic, Elks, Knights of Columbus
and Knights of Pythias fraternal or
CARNATIONS that stand for upholding
the laws of the state. Will the mem
bers of those organizations who are
attaches of theatrical agencies help
in human uplift by complying with
the law on the So fee or will they
stand to be stigmatized as law-break-
ers by perpetuating system that Mr.
Knight has exposed.-John Doe.

ably imagine the attitude of Chief of
Police Healey toward the constant
yelping of the Chicago Daily News.
Any time that Victor F. Lawson is
not allowed to name the chief of po-
lice we may expect, whole lot of
highly undignified hectoring. For the
past three days in succession the
readers of the News have been treat
ed to column or more on its front
page on the subject of gambling in
Chicago. The main object of this is
undoubtedly to bring discredit on the
police department or on the admin
istration which is responsible for it.
No one believes for minute that the
mere fact that some lamb has lost 81
in a crap game or has donated like
amount of his money to some needy
bookmaker is going to cause any loss
of sleep to any member of the Daily
News staff. One thing is equally GER
tain, and that is, that there are at
least .999 per cent of the readers of
the paper that take absolutely no in

in fact, is thoroughly tired of the
