PUBLIC AND NAVY.

There is today a widespread demand
throughout the country that the public
shall be put in closer touch with it's
naval and military experts; that their
lips shall be unsealed, and that the
people shall have at first hand the
benefit of the advice and direction of
the only men who are qualified to tell
them just what kind of an army and
navy they need adequately to protect
their vast and ever increasing national
interests. Our experts would like to
speak to the country, and the country
certainly wants to listen. 1t has
grown weary of having the recommen-
datiOns of these experts pigeonholded
and of being presented, instead, with
the half baked and necessarily imma-
ture and more or less amateurish rec
concentrations of some well meaning
gentleman who only yesterday and all
his life may have been either, let us
say, lawyer a country editor, a pro-
fessor, or anything indeed but a stu
dent of naval and military affairs

For linen dresses there is nothing
pretlier than the straight full skirt.
When washing delicate curtains,
stiffen in a little gum Arabic water

Plaster of Paris and white lead paint

Princess dresses are coming back
into fashion, it is said, and one indica-
ton of this return is the front panel
cut in one piece for waist and skirt
shown on some of the new lingerie
frocks. This gives good chance for
embroidery, which will be so much
used next summer on net and other
lingerie frocks.

Tuesday Big Day in 1916, Says
Calendar.

Tuesday is the big day this year for
the man who watches the clock. Do
you know that there are five Tuesdays
in the shortest month of the year
1916? Not only that, but leap year
does some other odd stunts with Tues
day before it passes into history.
February starts it by opening on
Tuesday and closing on Tuesday
Just to keep it up Washington's birth
day falls on Tuesday, making it a day
off for some. Then Tuesday behaves
very well for a while and attains no
prominence over its mates until May
when Decoration Day hobs up on May
30, thus making another holiday. In
July the fourth falls on Tuesday and
there you are again for holiday.
There are five Tuesdays in August,
February, May, and October. Hal
lowe'en falls on Tuesday and of
course, election day comes on Tues
day.
Since 1916 is leap year, Thanks
giving day will fall on Nov. 80, the
last day of that month
But the best part of this leap year
business comes down at the end Of
the year, for instead of Christmas
and New Years falling on Sunday
as it should, those days being on Sat
urday last year, these holidays leap
to Monday, thus giving the workers
two holidays in row again.
Yes, indeed, real happy New Year
by the looks of things, particularly
if you look at the Tuesdays.

FINE BUSINESS /.

Following close upon President Will
sons establishment of an entente with
Tamany Hall, is the announcement
that paroles have been issued to three
Terre Haute election conspirators,
convicted along with Dom Roberts
and others. The action was taken
against the advice of District Attorney
Daley, the courageous and incorrupt-
ible official who brought the Roberts
gang to the bar of justice. District
Attorney Daley has resigned his office
and it is rumored that this is in re-
sentiment of the undoing of his work
in behalf of the purity of the ballot
by the national administration Jo-
seph Roach, the Terre Haute attorney,
who assisted Mr.. Daley in the prose-
cutions, declares that president Will
sons department of justice attempted
to discourage the prosecutions of the
Terre Hauts election conspirators, but
that District Attorney Daley went
right ahead with them, nevertheless.

When some democratic friends of
yours try to tell you of the far
sighted craftsmanship and steadfast-
ness of Woodrow Wilson, put him to
the test of specific facts. Ask him to
enumerate the public issues which
the American people deem important
and on which Mr. Wilson has not
changed his attitude since he was
elected president. Try it, and see how
short the list will be.
"Pitiless publicity" was the promise,

A low record for the Underwood law
as revenue producer was chalked up
the week ended December 18th. 1915.
The average duty rate for the week
was 81, the worst showing thus far
made by the Underwood tariff since
its enactment in October, 1913 Pres
ident Wilson and Senator Underwood
ought to be proud of the Christmas
present to Uncle Sam which their tar
if folly produced. On imports valued
at S30,799,642, entered at the thirteen
principal customs districts of the
United States, revenue was collected
in the sum of $2,685,S66. That &C
counts for Secretary McAdoo's finan-
cial jugglery, and his desire to levy
a tax on everything from tOmbstones
to falseteeth. He is at his wits end
trying to make both ends meet. Ev-
erything going out and nothing COM
ing in, so far as revenues are con-
cerned.
So greet is the contrast between
our present war order prosperity and
the deplorable depression in which
we labored prior to the outbreak of
the war, that most of us forget 1912
and compare our present business
status with 1913 and 1914. We re-
joice that Christmas business was bet
ter this season than last Still, if
bank clearings are any indications,
our prosperity is still spotted" as
compared with 1912. Reports from
seven of the leading cities show that
New York and Philadelphia are the
only ones of seven that report bank
clearings as large for the week end
ing December %, 1915, as for the cor
responding week in 1912.

DENIES JURISDICTION
City OF Galena Takes New Tack in Gas
Legislation

Another attempt on the part of gas
distributing companies to slide out of
the free gas litigations in the Shaw
nee county district court was made
this morning. The American Gas
company, named co-defendant in the
suit of the city of Galena against the
utilities commission, filed motion to
quash service which has been made
upon the distributing company.
Practically all the gas distributors
in the suits have signified their inten-
ton or have filed motions to get out
from under the litigation. They are
vigorous in their contentious that the
guns should be trained on the Kansas
Natural instead of on them. In the
motion this morning the city of Ga
lena cites that the distributors are not
a necessary party to the action that
summons was not served in Shawnee
county and claims that the company
is not under jurisdiction of Shawnee
county courts

Bob johnson Meetings Enter Upon
Their Final Week.

Sunday meetings at the Bob Johnson
tabernacle brought the total NUMBER
of decisions and reconsecrauonS OF
the campaign up to date to over seven
hundred, and the campaign is not
scheduled to close until February IA.
Before a packed house with many peo-
pie standing, Evangelist Bob johnson
preached a powerful sermon last even
ing on the Judgment" The evange-
list chose for his text, Heb. s;21, For
il is appointed unto man once to ole,
but after this the judgment"
You, man, who do not believe In a
heaven or hell or Bible-rememoer'
that after this there is the judgment.
Say. il l could prove to you that this
was the last twenty-four hours in
which YOU had to live, we wouldn' t
have to beg you to come to the taber-
nacIe and pray. We have many per-
picking questions before us, but here
is the awful problem-what are you
going to do with the judgment?
God plays no favorites, said the
evangelist THE millionaire and the
hobo look alike to Him; and you cam
bribe God with your money or social
position at the judgment.
Tuesday night will be family night
at the big tabernacle. All parents
with their immediate families are re-
ouested to sit together at the meeting
on that evening. when the evangelist
will present a fine leather bound Bible
to the family having the largest num-
Der present.

she dashed from the store and ran to
a spot where a group of men were
gathered. Mrs. Weber had no idea
that her husband had met with an &c
cident.

claim, here comes Mrs. Weber. we

Couldn't Keep Her Away.
But this was easier said than done.
Dropping the handle OF the go-cart
she fought her way through the crowd
and kneeled at her husbands side
where for three hours she attempted
to resuscitate him. Even then she as
serted that he had been murdered.
The men we accuse" said Mr..
Docking today, do not deny that a
struggle had taken place. They as
serted at first that they went into
Weber's office to throw him off the
reservation, but later came forward
with the declaration that they went
into the office TO place him under ar
rest for using abusive language
against one of the agency's officers.
The facts of the matter are that a
man cannot be placed under arrest on
a government reservation on such a
charge and there has been no testi-
mony produced to prove that Weber
did use abusive language 1t was while
a struggle was in progress that Weber
dropped dead and the men we charge
admit that he died then"

Mr.. Docking spent a month in Ne
vada seeking evidence in the case. He
returned with his daughter and Web
er's body the middle of December
and two days later Mrs. Weber went
back to Nevada where her mother
and daughter have remained ever
since the tragedy.
