THE JEFFERSONIAN

some OF the weeping editors imagine, and they
believe that in Dorsey they will have Gov
ernor who will do whatever he believes his
duty, and at least know his own mind when
the time comes to make decision.
The House and Senate conferees have
agreed upon regular army of 100000 men
IN time of peace, to be increased to $4,000
In time of war, and both Houses Of Congress
will likely ratify the agreement some time
this week
The Senate bill providing for a reserve
army of 261,0 900 is not accepted by the con,
ferees, but the National Guard will be Fed
eralized, according to provisions of the House
bill, and all officers and men will be required
to take new oath of allegiance to both the
United States and their respective States .
Under this new plan the National Guard,
at maximum strength, would be recruited on
the basis of 800 men to each congressional
district, making total reserve army Of
$4,000 men, which, added to the regular
army, would make force of 100000 );
While this IS not as many as the bigger
army men wanted, it is more than the House
was willing to concede for long time, and
1t IS Just that many more than those who were
opposed to any increase wished.
Of course, this bigger army means an in
crease IN the expense OF government and an
increase in the expense Of government means
an increase in taxes, and an increase in taxes
means that the common people will have to
foot the bill.
This increase could be easily made up by
the proper adjustment of the income tax, but
an increased rate on the income tax would not
set we'll with those who would have to pay
their proportionate share for running things
at Washington and neither Of the old parties
care to offend this class of voters
Although we are facing deficit for the
fiscal year, this Congress seems to paw about
as much attention to that fact. and to make

effect it might have on the outcome of the

effect it might have on the outcome of the
November election.
Suppose big part of the German vote sup
ported this ticket, and suppose a good part of
the Roman Catholic vote supported it because
President Wilson recognized Carranza?
Add to these two elements those who would
support such a ticket because they sincerely
believe in peace at any price, those who are
personal admirers of Mr.. Ford, and the per-
sonal following of Mr. Bryan, and you will
have vote : not to be despis s BY any party
It's queer how much some of our Georgia
editors think of Hon. Hugh Dorsey's welfare,
since he entered the race for Governor.
Several of them are shedding tears because
this ''brilliant young man threatens to
bring to an end his useful career by entering
politlcs-if he had only remained prosecuting
attorney in Atlanta, instead of aiming for
things higher, he would some day become a
prominent man in the affairs of his State"
Another reason why these tear-shedders are
sorry that Dorsey entered is because there is
no issue in the Gubernatorial campaign this
year, and Dorseys entrance will only remind
us of the Frank case.
AS a matter of fact, there are issues in this
Gubernatorial campaign, and big issues at
that
It is true that neither of the other candi-
dates have yet touched the issues while trot-
ting about the State making grandmother
talks to children" yet the issues remain is
sues just the same, and anyone who knows
Dorsey knows that when he announces his
platform he will come out fatfooted for or
against them.
Hugh Dorsey has been able to paddle Hugh
Dorsey's own canoe pretty we'll so far, and
we predict that he will be able to paddle it
through the coming campaign without the
help of those who have SO suddenly become
interested in his future welfare
y The people know Dorsey much better than

as little effort at economy as former Con-
crosses have DONE
The "pork barrel" is rolling as noisily as
ever, and the different members are scramv
bling to see who can get the most to make
navlgable some little stream that will hardly
float a full grown row-boat, while others are
scrambling just as hard to get appropriations
for public buildings In towns that will never
grow beyond where big part of the male
population spends big part of each day on a
chair bottom telling how things in general
should be run.
Then on top of this there is another chunk
Of pork" that is about to be brought to the
table for carving-the proposed appropria-
ton by Congress of $85,0O0.000 to be proper
toned out among the different States ''for the
6etterment of our public highways."
For plain, outright raid on the Treasury,
this last proposed appropriation beats
them all.
We have about two and one-quarter million
miles of public highways in this country, and
$85,0O0,00O divided over this mileage would
mean less than $40 per mlle-a sum that every
man with a grain of common sense knows
would not be a drop in the bucket
We do not need this Federal Improvement
of our public highways, and if we allow our
Representatives to stand for this entering
wedge of raiding the Treasury there is no
telling where it will end-it will increase
from year to year just as the pension list has
increased-it will increase just as the appro-
priations for rivers and harbors have in
creased-it will increase just as the appropria-
tons for public buildings have increased-it
will increase until it bankrupts the Govern
ment.
Appropriate $85, 100000 this year and next
year it will be $185, 100000, and the year after
1886, 100000 until it will finally reach the
proportion that it will make the rivers and
harbors, public buildings and pension drain
on the Treasury look like a spring branch by
the side of the Mississippi River

The next day we combined forces OF

but gracefully rode around all the

After review, We marched to Browns

the entire time that school is in ses-
sion in the district. Four excuses
follow this rigid law, BIZ. the only one
that causes trouble is that which pro-
vides that the child may be excused
from attending school if he is actual
ly necessary to the support of the ia
mily believe that our legislators
would act wisely in eliminating this
clause from the law. The excuse
makes the law ineffective to q geat ex-

there is no child in Emmons county
for whom this excuse would be valid.
Notices are being sent to parents to
keep their children in school Some
receive the notices in the right spirit
and act accordingly, while others re-
sent, being told of their neglect and
blame others for meddling with their
private affairs. I hope the last men
toned will not blame their teachers
or school directors when they receive
a notice from this office or the states
attorney to start their children to
school. We are simply trying to do
our duty and get you to do yours.

LETTER FROM THE FRONT
George Smith, With N. D. N. G.
Writes of Troop Move
ments.
Mercedes, Texas, Dec {


Dear Mr.. Streeter:
again take the privilege afforded
Inc to write you all and let you know
how we N. Oak. boys are mastering the
situation down on the Mexican border
In the Record of several weeks ago you
had the opportunity of reading Mr..
Streeter's letter who was down here
and paid us visit. Before Begin
ming / shall proceed from the time Mr..
Streeter left us until to date.
The War Department had decided to
give us q war maneuver which was
to decide if We were ready to endure
hardships and to see if the men would
come up 10 the acquired efficiency de-
manded by the U. S. army. The
plan was to have is days. war game.
The armies opposing were the
Browns and whites" was on the
sides of the Whites or the army de-
Tending the U. s., while the Browns
were landing at the mouth of the Rio
Grand river in the extreme southeast
ern part Of Texas
We left with an army Of $4,000 men
and the Browns 10000. After several
days of marching and heavily loaded
with rolls, rifle, ammunition, ETC., we
proceeded and our advance guard
sighted the enemy" short distance
away. The enemy gave way, and re-
treated towards Brownsville where we
followed them for week, at the same
time enduring hardships and following
all rules pertaining to real warfare.
Our rations consisted Of hard tack
and bacon, water when it was obtain
able and a warm lunch when existing
conditions allowed it. The cavalry
served as oiIr advanced guard, while
we took up the march, protected in the
rear by artillery. We met in several
skirmishes and beat the enemy back,
and at night fall we pitched camp on
che historic battlefield of Palo Alto,
fought between Mexican American SOL
dicrs in 184s during the Mexican war.
The next day, or last day, we marched
in heavy column towards Brownsville
and crossed the Mexican battle field of
Lomo-Alto. Continuous on through
the dense forest we finally came upon
the enemy" again entrenched on the
famous Mexican battle field of Resace-
dela-Palma, where Gen. Taylor defeat
cd the Mexican general with an army
greatly outnumbering the Americans
This battle field is large space and
covers several miles, and six miles
from Brownsville. Here we fought
the last battle, and finally the signal
