FAVOR AN APPEAL
FROM BOARD ORDER.
Railway Commissioners of
Country Take Action Look
= ing to This Right.
TAYLOR ON pEMURRAGE

tfTOm otaII SOrTebponueHt.D
Washington, Nov. l6.-(Special Tel
egram. I'm one of the most interest
ing and instructive days the state
railway commissioners have ever held,
Henry T. Clarke of Nebraska, chair
man of the state commission of Ne
braska and member of the commit
tee on legislation, supported the re-
port of the committee today before
the convention of state commission
ers favoring an amendment to the act
regulating commerce, giving the states
and shippers the right of appeal to
the federal court on orGefs issued by
the Interstate Commerce commission.
If the recommendation had been in
corporated into the law as originally
passed there would have been no
question Of the right Of the state to
have orders of the commission re-
viewed in the we'll known western ad-
vance rate cases or in the Nebraska
Iowa rate case, which.in the parlaice
of the railroad and shipping interests
of Nebraska is known as Il. c. c. No.
lo,' affecting the reduction in gem
eral class rates.
In this connection it is to be noted
that the resolution Of the committee
was unanimously adopted, which is
signal victory for states rights.
Tomorrow another resolution, in
which Mr.. Taylor, commissioner from
Nebraska, will appear as champion,
relates to the question Of car short
age, and it is understood the commit
tee, of which Commissioner Funk OF
Illinois is chairman, will urge in view
of the serious shortage of cars, the
appointment of a committee of Seven
members on car service and demur-
rage with full power to represent the
commissioners association and to
confer with the Interstate Commerce
Commission to secure such immediate
relief as is possible in the present
emergency.

ps sdrawal of Soldiers
st Camps.
SSsfF OFFICE DON'T KNOW

Washington, Nov. l6.-Fiye Ma
tional Guard regiments were ordered
home from the Mexican border to-
day. They are the First regiment OF
South Carolina, Seventh New York,
Third Indiana, Third Wisconsin and
Third Minnesota.
In statement announcing the or
der, the War department said it was
in continuation Of the policy IAN
nounced some time ago gradually to
withdraw National Guard regiments
from the border if conditions permit
and in accordance with recommends
tions of General Funston, these regi-
ments have been ordered home"
Regiments Ordered Home.
San Aantonio, Tex, Nov. l6--The
five infantry regiments ordered home
from the border today by the War
department, were selected BY General
Funston from the troops on patrol
duty at the request OF the depart
ment OF designate that number Of Or
ganizations for release, Acting under
these Instructions, he recommended
the return of the First South Carolina
at El Paso, Seventh New York at
McAllen, Third Indiana at Llano
Grande, Third Wisconsin at San An
tonic and Tird Minnesota at Llano
Grande.
Staff officers tonight professed
ignorance of the reason for the re-
turn movement at this time. They
were at a loss to known whether the
order is the beginning of general
return movement of state troops en-
gagged in border partol work.
None To Replace Them.
1t was admitted in military circles
that there are no state troops to
take the place of those relieved un-
less regiments that have already seen
border duty are sent back. All troops
remaining in state mobilization camps
were exhausted under the last call
when 2S,00o guardsmen were sent to
relieve some of the organizations thai
had been on the border for period
of months. sI
The time of departure Of the five
regiments ordered home will depend
on the rapidity with which railroad
stock is assefbled for the movement.
In selecting the five regiments
along the border, General Funston
gave consideration to the length OF
service Of troops from various states
and also was partly governed by
knowledge of states that had bene-
fitted in earlier return movements.
Another factor was desire to keer
intact the divisions or tactical units
into which state troops have been or
ganized at various border points.

"servile Copying of Foreign
Art and Letters and Nation
Not Proudly Willing
to Fight Scored.
MUST EXPRESS OWN SPIRIT
Says Greatest Literature
Should Spring Prom Soul
of People.
STRENGTH BEFORE BEAUTY

New York, Nov. l6.-The "cubist
school OF patriotism the "servile
copying" of foreign masterpieces in
art and literature, the failure of Latin
literature to express the soul of the
Latin race" and the ignobility of a
nation that is not "produly willing
and able to fight for just cause y
were a few of the many subjects
touched upon by Theodore Roosevelt
in an address heret oday before the
American Academy of Arts and Let
tiers on "Nationalism in Literature and
Art" H
The keynote of the colonels
speech was a plea for real expression
Of the American national spirit in the
writing and art of this country, as
he declared that the greatest litera-
ture, the greatest art, must spring
from the soul OF the people them
selves"
Must Not Initiate.
1T behooves US in the United
States" he said, mot to be content
with repeating on a larger scale the
history of commercial materialism
of the great Phoenician common
wealth. This means that here in
American, if we do not develop a
serious art and literature of our own
we shall have warped national life.
Most certainly ! do not mean that art
and literature are worth developing
unless they are built on a national
life which is strong and great in other
ways, unless they are expression for
that valor of the soul which must also
come before beauty.
IF nation is not proudly willing
and able to fight for a-just cause for
the lives Of its own citizens, for the
honor of its flag, even for the rescue
of some oppressed foreign nationality,
then such a nation will also be an
ignoble nation, and this whether or
not it achieves the sordid prosperity
of those who are merely successful
hucksters or whether it kills its yirii-
ity by an exclusive appreciation OF
grace, ease and beauty. Strength.
courage. and justice must come first. "
New National Type.
Speaking Of the development Of
American nationalism, he said:
There is only one thing worse than
the stolid refusal to accept what is
great and beautiful from outside and
that thing that is worse is servility to
copy it."
"We of this nation" he said, "are a
people different from, but akin to all
the peopels of, Europe. Our language
and our literature are English and the
fundamentals of our inherited culture
are predoninantly English, but we
have taken toll Of many different for
eign nations"
We are developing new national
type, he said, but "of course, to make
the type self-consciously anti English
shows as mean sense of inferiority
as to make it mere imitation of the
English"
He said that he had scant patience
with artificial development and II
care little for the cubist school of
patriotism any more than | care for
it in art or poetry. The effort to be
original by being fantastic. is always
cheap" 5..-

DOESN'T WANT HIS
MOTHER TO BATTLE
Hank Osborne Will Not
Allow Woman to Minister ito
His Bedridden PARENT.
MYSTERY OF THE BLUFFS

Why does Hank" Osborne stead
lily and pugnaciously refuse to allow
his old mother to be bathed? is the
question which is puzzling the good
women of Council Bluffs who offered
to perform the necessary Office.
Young Osborne, called Hank by
some of the women who have tried
to minister to his mothers infrmity,
and his bed-ridden mother, over 20
years old, live in a ramshackle three
room house at 1902 Fifth avenue in
Council Bluffs. During the summer
the summer the attention of the
neighbors and some Of the charitable
women Of the neighborhood was
called to them. The old woman was
unable to leave her bed and needed
food and attention. After doing all
they could for the poor creature they
ceased their ministrations until last
week, when their attention was again
called to her plight.
Woman in Sad Plight.
Soliciting aid from their friends,
they proceeded. to the hovel Sunday
afternoon and offered to perform
needed abultions for the suffering
creature, who has lain on her squalid
cot for months without relief. The
house was bitterly cold because Of
the wintry blasts which blew in
through the windows, yet, as cover
the old woman had only the counter
pane.
No food was in the house and when
questioned, "Hank" told of how he
had gone uptown and begged dime
fro none man and quarter from
another to buy a soupbonc for his
poor old mother. No remnant of a
soupbone was to be found, but on the
kitchen table the women found COL
lection of cigarette stubs. He is we'll
dressed and spends his time as, any
gentleman of leisure should.
Hank" Gusts the Visitors.
When the charitable women offered
to bathe his mother he refused to al
low them to do it. They remon-
strated with him and prepared for the
bath. Son then became indignant, even
threatening. He vowe they should not
bathe his mother if they valued their
safety. He became so abusive that the
women were obliged to leave the
house.
City charitable authorities and the
officers of the Creche have offered to
help them by taking the mother to
some place where she can be kept
under sanitary conditions and prop
erly fed and clothed, but they are un-
able to do anything because of the
sons refusal. The city is paying the
rent of the shack.

Worthless AS Indicating Any

The Bennington Evening Banner, published

straw vote taken by the Lyndonviile Union
Journal in the interest of Senator Page.

the interest OF Senator Page upon a false and

of this method Of straw vote taking by CHASING it
with the burlesque, which is a stage upon which
senators are seldom seen in daylight.
