The military affairs committee of the house las taken
up the matter of giving military rank to serving
in the army nurse corps, and General Pershing has
strongly supported the plan in his testimony before the
committee. The country whole will receive this
information with satisfaction. 1t is rather absurd to
have women of superior intelligence and carrying great
responsibilities outranked by second lieutenants who
while all right in their way simply not in the same
class However congress should realize that this is one
of those small things that count for so much in the
matter Of military efficiency and morale that it cannot
be disposed of in aperfunctory Unless

PHOENIX, Arizona, Nov. 3d.
Editor The West Virginial-I saw
in your newspaper some time ago
where a party there in Fairmont
thought he had the champion pump
kin of the world. If he had been at
our state fair which has just closed
l guess he would have changed his
mind. l heard one man say that he
had raised squash that weighed 146
pounds.
Another man there in Fairmont
had a blackberry brier that was 10
feet high. 1 myself raised tomato
vine that was lS feet high. Now
these are the things that grow in Ari-
IONA where the gila monster and coy
ote are supposed to roam.
l lived in Marion county for a num-
Der of years, and it is mighty good
county-almost as good as Mononga-
LA county, where l was born. They
are paying from $50 to $50 an acre
per year for land here in Arizona to
put in cotton. Can Marion county
beat that?

The usual view Of it is that you cannot tell anything
about the morals Of woman by the clothes she wears.
Madam Paqun does not enter into that phase either. but
she does put the matter Of taste squarcy up the
of the gown. According to her Wew and it must be adj
mtted that what she thinks about it carries great deal
of weight, when woman appears in public in shocking
gown she may not place the blame for it on prevailing

II am ready to cooperate with Pope Bene-
dict and Cardinals Annette and Bourne in their
campaign against indecent fashions Gowns
seen in Paris theaters nowadays are outrages
on good taste, but the wearers rather than the
dfessmakers must be blamed. The church is
not attacking us, the dressmakers, but the

spicuous by wearing extreme fashions"

The letters are genuine. The edi-
tor of Scribner's magazine vouches
for that. The particular letters which
are being published in a number of
leading American newspapers are
covered by copyright owned by the
great Scribner publishing house. In
day or so The West Virgnian will
print facsimilies of one or two Of the
letters which ought to set at rest all
the doubts of even the most skeptical.
AS for the forced and set express
sions," our correspondent probably
has not been student of the Roose-
welt method. Back in the dGys when
the Colonel was active in politics his
letter files were a source q aEi&%e
ment to friend and foe alike. Th
New York World more than once dli
ing those active days called attention
to the uncanny way in which they
were used. 1t is probable taht Roose-
welt never wrote line without think
ing Of the possible effect of it on the
general public.

FAIRMONT, Dec. 4.-[Editor The
West virginianl-As a reader and
subscriber to your paper ask If the
Roosevelt letters published in your
paper and Others are genuine?
l have been reading them, but from
the first have been very much i'm
pressed with the unnaturalness Of a
father writing honey" letters to the
children, wife and relatives and using
the formal and set expressions, same
subjects in all letters so far printed.
There seems to be too much of syn
dicate idea prevalent.
To my idea these letters are manu-
featured and not written by Theodore
Roosevelt.

Factories turnout the east are
operating day and night at full capac-
ity in an effort to fill their orders and
business conditions generally seem to
be good. The continued high price OF
all materials and their probable in
crease is partly attributed TO the fact
that a large export trade is opening

years, until the country gets back into

SLEEPING WOMAN ATTACKED.
Assaulted by Unknown Man in Room
in Council Bluffs.


Council Bluffs, July sl.-Miss Jose
phine Volner, 81 years old. was taken
| to st. Bernard's hospital shortly after
4 o'clock Wednesday morning in a
hysterical condition as the result Of a
criminal attack made upon her by an
unknown man as she slept in bed. The
attack occurred in her bedroom on the
second floor OF the j. p. Hogan home,
TOO Fourth street. where she has been
living for the past two years. Miss
Volmer is head chocolate dipper at
Woodward's candy factory where she
has been employed for the past ten
years. Police are working on the
case, but are at loss to discover any
trace Of the woman's assailant- The
fiend got into the house by climbing
over the front porch and removing a
screen from the window IN Miss
volmer's room. It Is believed he left
the house by coming down the front
stairs and going out the front door as
the screen door was found to be un-
Hooked following the, attack. Miss
Volmer's bedroom door also was I'M
locked and she is said to habitually
lock the door to her room upon retir-
ing for the night She sleeps alone
on the second floor.
Hysterical shrieks from Miss Vol
mer's room first attracted attention OF
neiyhbors and led to the discovery OF
the crime. The bedroom was found to
be in a turmoil and the woman was
found to be in a serious condition OF
Lhysteria. The bed coverings were In
great disorder and covered with dirt
and CRIME, presumably from the
fiend's clothing. Miss Volmer had been
gagged with a piece OF her kimona-
II Is believed she was ,choked to in
sensibility and that the attack pos
sibly occurred some time before as
covered. She probably began 10
scream HISTORICALLY when she re-
covered consciousness.
