KAHN WASHES HIS HANDS
OF THE HOUSE

No military legislation will be
brought before the House of Repre-
sentatives during the remainder of
the extra session. Chairman Kahn of
the Military Affairs Committee has
washed his hands of the House for
this session and if that body does not
mend it's ways the Military Affairs
Committee simply won't play. They
have decided that the House is in no
mental state to give serious consid-
eratiop to important military legisla-
tion.
from the Army and Navy Journal in
its issue of October first. That re-
doubtable supporter of the armed
forces of the nation goes on to point
out as evidence of the impossible
state of mind of the House of Repre-
sentatives, its action in defeating
the bill for maintaining West Point
at its authorized strength. When that
measure came up for discussion what
did that misguided body do but sug-
gest that the passage of the bill
would be evidence of a lack of faith
when the country was calling a con-
ference on limitation of ornaments.
When such a reason could be brought
forth for the defeat OF SO worthy an
object the Military Affairs Committee
threw up their hands. Until the
House of Representatives returns to

on limitation of ornaments. For the
House of Representatives is not like
ly to change its frame of mind while
letters and petitions by the score are
pouring in to the President and del
egates to the conference, expressing
most forcibly the desire of the people
of the country for a. real reduc tion
of military and naval expenditures.
The results of this pressure are
feared in the camps of the big army
and navy advocates. The Army and
Navy Journal deplores the great in
difference to the army on the part of
both the general public and the ex-
soldiers. There is a positive deter
mination," it declares, ION the part
of strongly organized groups with an
expert knowledge of how to use prop
aganda and how to pull political
wires to do away with our armed
forces if possible, and if that cannot
be done to reduce them to condi-
tion of impotency."

NAVAL OFFICERS
 SWEAR NEVER TO DON UNIFORM
 UNTIL ASSASSINS ARE PUNISHED

Many significant and violent speeches were made by well known l eTsons in the. cemetery. Lieuteh- ant Agatao Lanca, a naval officer much admired for bravery in action. said in his speech over Graijo's cof- fin: '1 swear, dear friend by your corpse, that I will never again wear my uniform until your murderers are pInished."
 Another well known naval officer. Commander Prestes Salgueiro. said he did not come there in his uniform on which the cross of war was pin ned, because it >.uas stained with blood.
 Other officers who belong to pCliti cal parties opposed to Granjo and even some who took part in the revo- lltion, declared near the tomb of the assassinated premier, that they would not wear their uniforms until the guilty were punished and the Por;u- guese navy purged of assassins.
 great number of naval and army officers, of high standing have sent ill their resignations, but the press is forbidden to refer to this
 The former Minister of Finance Sunha, Granjos political adversary, to whom the premier came in his hour of need, and what in attempting 10 save his life. was wounded by two bullets, was persona grata to the rev olutionaires. Now his horror at what has happened is so great that he has given up all his important posts, an nounced his intention of abandoning political life and has gone to live in the provinces.
 A great many people, politicians and industrial and financial men, have taken refuge in Spain.

LISBON, Dec. IA. - Dramatic incl deRt attended the funerals of the three republican statesmen who were assassinated in the recent revolution ary uprising The relatives of the victims, former Premier Antonio Granjo, Commander Carlos Maia and Vice Admiral Machado dos Santos, re- fused to accept the governments of- fer of national hcnors and insisted upon burying their dead at their own expense.
 The widow of Vive Admiral Santos heard that the government mad Gis- regarded her wishes ant had lined the streets with troops to pay honor to his body as his funeral process sion passed.
 In passion of indignation and de- spair, she threw herself before her husbands coffin and refused to allow jt to leave the house-so long as there was one sailor or soldier left in the street where he would pass.
 Tell the Prime Minister" she cried, that if he does not recall the troops I will commit su,c1de on my husbands coffin.''
 The troops and naval contingent were all sent back to the barracks.
 Although no official honors were permitted by his family, the funeral of the exPremier Granjo was attend ed by President Almeida and many high political personalities. All con- merce closed in sign of public sym pathy, and no theater opened it's doors that night.

KANSAS CITY JUDGE SPANkS CHILDREN IN
 COURT IF CONVICTED

KANSAS CITY, Dec. 14.- 'ISpare the rod and spoil the child That isn't original but it's true"
 That's how Judge E. E. Porterfield explains the public execution" that took place in his court when he spank ed four boys for truancy.
 Spanking is forbidden in Kansas City schools And the boys parents wouldn't spank them for playing hockey"
 So they were hailed into Judge Por terfield's court. Sending them to a reform farm was the only legal pun ishment open to him. At the threat of that the boys smiled, anticipating a long vacation.
 So the judge took off one of his oxfords and applied it deftly to each boy.
 Now are you going to school?" he asked.

 The Centre players are known asl the Praying Colonels, pe- cause they kneel in prayer be- fore each contest and ask divine strength to fight cleanly and courageouslyA.
 Football is the game wnlcn eacts the heaviest toll of the stuff of which men are made, and unless a boy ivles right and is at peace with his own conscience, he cannot arise to greG- -e,Snis on the gridiron.
 Centre College is not a school of religion, but it has given to the pulpit 300 ministers, and six of these have been moderators of the general assembly of the Pres byterian church.
 Many of these ministers played on Centre football teams and rec ords show that they were pow CTS of the teams. Three of the II men who formed Centres first football team in 1891 now are ministers. Every man on Gen. tres first team is living and all are active in church work.

OUR NIEWpOlNT

A man visiting the lower part of New York city noticed a group of foreign people carrying their luggage on their backs and walking in the middle of the street. On asking his friend who they were and why they did this, he was told that they were immigrants who had just landed. and that in the country from which they came 1t was misdemeanor for them to walk on the sidewalks. Their vision of freedom had been broad enough to bring them across a great ocean to land of liberty, and yet, having arrived, their viewpoint had not changed sufficiently to enable them to grasp the meaning of real freedom. So up the middle of the street they came, in the same old way, carrying their burdens on their backs. Do we never do the same thing?
