CHRISTIAN SERVICE
THE HIGHEST IDEAL
Wesley Bible Glass Hears Mr.. c. l
eeason Sunday In an Able Leet-
ure at First Methodist Church.

In keeping with the announcement
by the devotional committee. OF the
Wesley Bible class OF the First Meth.
odist church, Mr.. C.. l.. Beason, farm
demonstration agent Of Brazos coun-
ty was the speaker yesterday morn
ing at the First Methodist church.
Mr.. Beason used as his theme
Christian Service the Highest Ideal"
and his hearers we're edited and en-
lightened by the splendid address.
Mr. Beason said that "Every nation
and all people have held out to the
world an ideal, and The nearer this
ideal has approached the plane of
Christian service the greater has been
the record OF the nation or people
making It; the more remote the ideal
has been from such a plane the less
honored the country and the people.
History abounds In examples Of va
rying ideals. To great extent the
warrior has held a most conspicuous
place In the human eye. In the time
Of the early English speaking people
we get the story of Beowulfs aveng-
ing the wicked deed Of Grendel com
mitted in Hrothgar's hall. thereby
repudiating the law. ''venpence is
mine, will repay. saith the Lord"
A similar ideal was also held by the
aborigines OF our own country as
was shown by the fact that he whose
belt contained the greatest number
OF scalps was the greatest warrior
and he who ran the gauntlet dealing
the heaviest blows received the high
est praise. never needing the injunc-

Build the Armor Plant Here.

More than local pride sustains the movement
of Washington businessmen to bring the pro-
posed $II,oooooo government armor-plate plant
to the Capital.
1t is difficult to conceive of another city that
can offer for consideration site that possesses
better physical advantages than the Buzzards
Point location combined with proximity to the
headquarters of the Navy Department and its
executive officers.
Another argument no other municipality can
advance is the opportunity that the site affords
for members of Congress to watch the develop
ment of the business in which Uncle Sam
proposes to engage. The authorization for the
plant was not secured without healthy opposition
and since the whole project is more or less ex-
Perimental, it will be watched closely particu-
larly by Senator Penrose and other statesmen
who persistently fought the legislation and are
convinced of its impraeticability With the
armor-plate plant almost within the shadow of
the Capitol the best facilities will be offered for
intimate study of the matter without incon-
venence.
To say that Washington cannot acquire the
industrial army of $4,000 to $4,000 which will be
necessary for the operation of the plant is alb
surd. When orders began to come to the
local steel plant about two years ago, no diff
Guilty encountered in getting the 5000 or
more skilled laborers necessary to carry on the
work.
Positive assurance is given that only those
cities which situated far enough inland to
make the possibility of capture or destruction of
the plant by an alien force, remote will be
considered in the final choice. Here again Wash
ington ranks above most of its competitors.
The fact that the government already owns
almost half of the land on which it is urged
that the plant be erected offers an economic
argument worthy of notice. The proximity Of
the site to the naval ordnance factory and the
ability to operate these coordinate branches with
increased efficiency and reduced expenditures
should be taken into consideration
Much weight should be attached to the fact
that the proposed site is very near the naval
proving ground at Indian Head Experimental
work may be carried on not only in matters of
test at that point, but in close association with
all the government laboratories and means of
research in the city itself.
The Importance of being able to get test
plates to the proving grounds with dispatch is
of paramount Importance.
OF the us cities which are competing for the
prize, It is doubtful IL any will offer as varied
and substantial advantages as those presented
by the Capital. Other cities were represented
by United States Senator'S, Representatives and
others prominent in the world of politics. but the
case for Washington was presented by an able

AFTER-D DINNER POLITICS.
What Pierce Thought Of Fremont
by DIR. q. ). EDWARDS.


The late c. c. Clarke. who at one time
was deputy state treasurer Of New York
and for many years vice-president OF the
Vanderbilt system Of railroads, was while
young man friend OF William l.
Marcy, who was Secretary Of State IN
the administration OF President Pierce.
Mr.. Clarke told me that within six
months after Franklin Pierce became
President he wearied of the cares OF
the office so greatly that the feeling
was noticed through the expression OF
his countenance, which was that OF a
careworn man.
There were. however. two subjects
which were deemed OF great Importance
by President Pierce with which partisan
politics was not associated and which
furnished him. through a study Of the
subject, no little relief from the cares
and perplexities occasioned by politics
and the seekers after patronage. The
President was anxious that the mistake
in establishing the boundary line between
Mexico and the United States after we
purchased California should be rectified
and felt that we would be justified In
onering Mexico a large sum 10 make
the concession we asked.
The subject was especially interesting
TO President Pierce because he had
served In the Mexican war, having an
important command there and having
while in that service made a careful
FULLY carried out and the contemplation
or its successful achievement furnished
TO the President one Of the gratiica-
dons-of which there was not many
which came to him while serving as
President
The other object which especially ap-
pealed to him. was the perfecting Of a
survey for a railroad whose lines would
extend from the Mississippi River or
Missouri 70 the Pacific Coast The presi-
dent had the utmost confidence in the
ability Of young army oficer. John c.
Fremont. TO find suitable route for the
construction Of the Union Pacific line.
No American was more attracted by
the achievements OF John C. Fremont
than was Franklin Pierce himself. and
his admiration for Fremont was especially
gratifying to Thomas H. Benton, many
years senator from Missouri, whose
daughter Fremont married. This dsugh-
ter was living in Washington while Ere
mont was surveying for a Pacific rail-
road. and President Pierce saw much Of
her, and was charmed with her personali-
ty as well as impressed by her Intellectual
power.
President Pierce would have been salts
fed, had he beer able to retire from the
presidency with the assurance that under
his administration the construction OF the
Pacific railroad was begun He was not
to have. however, that sense Of gratif-
cation. He was, instead, 70 learn that the
new Republican party had nominated his
own favorite, John c Fremont. as the
first candidate Of that party for presi-
dent. and. Democrat as Pierce was the
nomination pleased him, for in a sense II
vindiCsted his own judgment Of the ability
of Fremont.

naval officers look with disfavor upon

No retirements- for age will occur dur

new clause regarding retirement for age
ls repealed during the short session of
IL
garded as by no means likely.
The army appropriation act recently
passed by Congress provides s2.0c0, 900 for
the expense OF maintaining camps for
military instruction OF citizens, provided
that so much OF this appropriation as
may be necessary shall be available for
the subsistence and transportation of all
persons between the ages Of H and IS
years who have attended any camp au-
thorized by the Secretary Of war during
the calendar year 1916"
Ahis proviso was added to the bill on
the floor of the House upon motion of
Mr. Hay. There was no discussion and
the legislative history throws no light
upon the meaning Of the provision. Con-
sequently officials OF the War Depart
ment are puzzled over the intent Of the
provision.
The fair import Of the language, how
ever, is deemed to provide only for such
persons as described who had UP to the
date of the passage of the act attended
duly authorized camps. Under this view
the provision is not to be given a pros
positive operation, and the authorize
tion will cover reimbursements restricted
to subsistence and transportation only,
uniforms being omitted from the pro-
vision.
1t is held by the War Department that
the authorization does not cover sub
sistence while the men were travelling to
and from the camp, but applies only to
subsistence while in attendance at the
camp. With reference TO transportation.
1t is held that the law will be fully salts
fed by limiting reimbursements to the
cost Of transportation by the shortest
