The Army Bill.
The army bill has passed both houses of congress
nd will become a law aa aoon aa Prealdent WIIon
algna It. It la poaslbly the beat measure which could
be had at thla time although the proposition of the
aenata was vastly better while even that waa Insuffi-
cient. So far aa the real proposition Is concerned there
are a great many of us under no Illusions aa to what wa
have been given aa the first of a great preparednsaa
program for a mighty nation. In euch legislation the
Mqrntng Times cannot see anything but Americanism.
It does not believe that politics aa the term is usually
accepted has anything to do with what resulta In a law.
This Is a mighty big question far-reaching and of Im-
mense Importance to every section of our country. Hut
while we are not satisfied we are compallad to accept
It as the supreme law of the land In thla regard trust-
ing for protection should the occasion arlae to that God
who mercifully takes care of the drunkard and the
feeble-minded.
In the new army Increase bill Is a provision for a
government nitrate plant on which Is to be expanded
1X0000000 of the government money. This plant
nominally la for the production of nitratea for use in
war; theoretically. It la to furnish nitrates cheaply for
fertilisers. Thla plant Is to be situated on some nav-
igable or non-navigable river on the public lands
which la to be Improved by dama locks powerhouses
and anything else necessary to the operation of the
business. Therefore in reality thla eectlon of the bill
la for the purpose of developing a waterpower. At
least it has the oar-marks. This looka a little bit Ilka
política And In this connection it Is not uninteresting
to note the following from an authority on this phase
of the new army bill: "Before that building is roofed
In chemical processes now being developed not only In
Germany but In this country aa well will have made
nitratea ao much cheaper that the use of expensive water
powera in their production will be out of the question.
Of course that makes no difference to the government.
Thla government is not controlled by business consid-
eration. and it might as well give Its fertilizers to the
farmers aa sell them for all the business proposition
there la in it. The great Uerman chemical company
known aa the Baedlacher company which Is the great-
tat in Germany has sold Its Interest In the Norwegian
water powers which waa obtained practically for the
purpoae of producing nitric acid because it can do it
better with its own chemical processes. New processes
are being developed In thla country by some of our
great chemical companiea In which from waste prod-
ucts they can aecure nitratea and ara securing them
at this moment and selling them commercially for such
a price aa to put the Chilean nitratea out of the market
una mase ine production ny waterpower too
aive."
expen-
And It thua appeara that In order to support the
little expedition of Pershing In Mexico we have been
compelled to strip practically every other section of the
United States of Its soldiers even to taking away the
coast artillery. It has left all that great tier óf states
on the Eastern seaboard no defense except the átate
militias. The Pacific coast has likewise contributed to
the chase of the bandit Villa. Funston haa asked for
more troops. We find we have not enough men to
carry on this little Mexican expedition and at the same
time protect our coasts. Tet. from the very modest
proposition of the senate for 160000 men aa a regular
army the house deliberately cut the number down to
176000.
It aeems Incredible that congress should be willing
to put $20.000000 Into a nitrate plant which undoubted-
ly has for Us purpose the development of a waterpower
somewhere and not be willing to give the country the
soldiers It needs for Its Immediate defense at this mo-
ment against troubles ao trivial when compared to the
wealth and power of the United States aa those which
have arisen on our Mexican border.
Monument for Colonel Doniphan.
Senator Stone of Missouri haa aaked tha government
of the United States to erect a monument to the memory
ot Alexander William Doniphan who 70 years ago led
a thousand soldiers Into Mexico settled an Indian up-
rising crossed two deserta defeated two armies that
outnumbered him four to one captured the entrenched
city of Chihuahua lost four men killed and fourteen
wounded In a year's campaign that covered almost 6000
miles and returned home with 17 of the enemy's cannon
and 100 of his battle nags. His name appears In none
of the standard histories of the United State although
In a volume written by B. Alexander Powell and en-
titled The Road to Qlory." this expedlUon of the coun-
try lawyer whose hobby was soldering is graphically
told under ths chapter heading "The March of the One
Thousand In speaking to the motion Senator Catron
Of New Mexico who Is a native of Ulnn h.oI- a

National Insurance.
fProm the Dally Financial America.)
The general board of the navy aaka for 1791441107
to put the United Stats In second place as a world naval
power. Of this amount 1604011.170 ' would be used In
building the necessary ships. While these figures may
stagger one in their first reading they alnk Into Insigni-
ficance when placed along aide tha figures of the cost of
the war over the sea. If divided par capita the first
year's cost of such a navy would be eight dollar a per-
son. The upkeep would further tax us two dollara a
head. The average cost of the first two years" ot the
present war Is $150 per capita.
We all believe in Insurance. We all buy insurance.
Tet we allow ourselves to stand back and be hoodwinked
when It comes to the question of national defense insur-
ance. Today we carry In all klnda of domestic Insurance
policies totaling over 46 million dollars on which we pay
about one and one-half billion dollara In premiums. Yet
what would be the use of all this if an invading army
were to land on our shores.
Aside from tha aspect of Invasion and defense the
question naturally arises how are we going to protect the
foreign trade wa are so earnestly endeavoring to up-
build? We must have a fleet for that and a fleet of suf-
ficient numbers to permit It to scatter to the seven seas
while a atrong enough arm la left at home to protect the
base.
The reasons are ao potent for an Immediate expan
sion or our navy mat tney ao not seem to permit of ar-
gument. Let congress act therefore act quickly and de-
cl1vely. Let the business men who know the need of
national Insurance force this action. Do not let it be-
come a political partisan question.
Soldiers Prayerful and Profane.
(From the Deseret News.)
Psychologists and observers have reached no unani-
mous conclusion as to the prevailing mood devotional
or profane In which soldiers go into battle. Some main-
tain that the Involuntary tendency Is to advsnce with the
passions wrought up to the highest pitch of anger
where even with men of temperate speech under usual
conditions the mouth to filled with deep strong loud
oaths. Others hold that even with men of irtJLmé
habit In ordinary times the nearness of unseen powers
and the confronting prospect of sudden death awak.n .
sense of dependence which brings prayers to their Hps
As It Is easy to conceive of circumstances where accord-
ing to their own admission men prayed who never
prayed before ao Is It quits possible that under special
strain and stress pious men may break forth Into uncon-
scious swearing. The former attitude however may be
regarded a the more likely and the more prevalent
those who die or go Into the presence of death cursing
must be comparatively faw.
Similarly It will be conceded that the prayerful sol-
dier Is the valorous soldier. The opinion of commanders
h i ' o" b'"u. wouia support this clew Hto
Is a courage not of the heady swaggering kind but calm
enduring and rsftned. History abounds In Instances of
dismay apread throughout a host upon being told that
the enemy were at their prayers. An army whose mem-
bers before submitting their cause to the arbitrament of
battle confess and crave forgiveness for their sins and

The worst of it was Betty hsd accepted

foolish little ml.under.tsndinr hail mm
and the end of It all was that the Haw for

college hsd come and Bourord bad not been
asked.
Not that Bo u ford cared for tnnmr .n.
fsr from it for It best he would have but
iur asnees win IBS object of hi. tdorstlon.
But .till there was a certain sitnifleanee
about Betty's Junior ball ss .ha had ...
pl.lned before tbe trouble was brewed.
"On. always asks 'the only man' m nna-a
own junior prom." she had said and th.
memory of the statement tilled Bourord
with thoughts that were colored with th.
rreen of Jeslou.y whenever he thought that
Betty might be going to her Junior prom
and might have Invited Mm other man to
escort her.
It was a. a matter or fact th. im.
of the junior prom and Botoford knew it
And now he was only a few block rmm
Uin dormitory where the tantalum little
Betty abode and only ons block from the
group of buildings where the ..me little
woman wa. unaergoln the laborious nn.
com or receiving a "higher education."
no looked up at t h h hoard rene and
beheld large red lettsreo sign th.t began
wiih the word. "Ice Bkstlns W.trh Knr

vealed the red flag and another am.ller
in that bore tha simple legend-'-Meu

noiitni a uraei via secured s ptlr of rather
niciy. in nuinr uuti Then etlll absent
minded he began to wonder why tbe sum
had read "Men Wanted."
H strapped on hi skcte in the shelter
at the edge of the court and then clumped
his way uown me Doarawaix to the sheet
r ire wbich covered the space that In sum-
mrr and autumn served space as a tennis
court for the girls of the college not far
aw.y.
He started cautiously for It was the first
tunc for a year that he had been on skate.
And then after a few preliminary flourishes
na was orr. his hand securely tucked In his
ticKeis. nis Dody bent forward snd
head beld up In the attitude he had learned
as a boy
There were not many skaters and most
or those present were girl. Ne might bare
noticed but be didn't that ho wa the only
man .s.iing atone
Twice had he gone tround the court when
he was hailed by a fair-haired young ama
ton on an Improvised bench at tbe edge of
the ice. He skated easily and quickly to
ner.
"I am ro glad there are gome men at last.
.he said "and I am glad you are life sized.
on cams yesterday but it wa really pa
thetlc. Imagine me going around on the
arm of s little chsp scarcely fire feet four
Inches. After I had hung on hi. little
ann ten minutes and fallen with him a few
times he was quite winded and went with
out being paid. But I think you'll do. What
do you charge in hour?"
"The regular price" wis Botsrord's an-
swer and then cautiously and without de-
lay the fair young am axon rose and with
perfect seir-possesslon said "Now we are
orr."
Apparently thought Botoford he had been
mistaken for an Milttont or instructor.
Probably the sign on the fence was there
to lure men in to escort tbe women skaters
in their task or learning the newly fashion
able .port. Most of the skater were women
for the court was practically monopolized
by girls rrom the college.
Somehow he managed not to fall though
fiar a hair hour's work he round himself
growing weary. But the day promised no
diversion more Interesting and for some
reason Botiford always did enjoy being part
of a harmless misunderstanding. Besides
mused he. he might before long muster
courage enough to ask th amuon If she
know Betty although. In appearance at
h ast there could be little In common be-
tween the two girl..
But when tbe half hour was about over
another amaron a stately brunette ap-
uróse lied and called out reprn.chfully:
"Piggy piggy to keep the only life sited
mtn on the place! What doe be charge an
hour?
About berore he knew it he wa strug-
gling at tbe side of another novice at the
art or skating. Later be returned to hi
blond and although M arm. ached and he
could feel the sting of sever! bruises where
he hsd rallen with hi. brunette pupil
said nothing of leaving.
"Ootng to be here tbls afternoon ?" aba
aaked as they neared the edge or the court
"I am going to stop now but may be back
this afternoon. Skating Is til the rage you
know and I must know all about It before
thla cold snap ends. Men are so scares
around here In ths daytime
For ths lack of anything better Botsford
said thai hs Intended to stay .11 day. The
girl thought s moment a. .he .at on the
bench. "Come to think or it I shan't wsnt
you thl. afternoon but I may want you to
night It's junior ball night and I don't
want to skate away all my enthusiasm for
I net."
Here the lowered her voice a. ir .be did
not want the other skiters to heir what
ihe to say. "But man are scarce even
at dance. You bare no Idea bow scarce
tud 1 think I might want you for tonight.
It opens at nine but you had- better be
around at the dormitory at hair put eight.
You dance. 1 suppose though that Isn't
absolutely necessary. I'll pay your pries of
fifty cents an hour and the additional price
of rent for an evening suit."
Botsford'. heart beat at double quick
every time the amaaon mentioned the Junior
ball and be stammered something about
already possessing an evening suit Prob-
ably the amaaon thought he bad acquired It
during s abort career ss s wsltsr. He
agreed to tb proposition. In fart he said
bo would be willing to put In th enure
evening fur two dollars from hair past

"Ail light." aW the girl as .lie left hltn
at th entrance of ths court. Then sha
whispered again: -On thing you must re
member. I'll intreduee you as my bretner
snd you must keep up th Muff. No one
must know that I bar employed you lu
this way. IV. rawer sore point some-

Civil Service Reform.
The t Mention of th country wa fixed at
list with painful intensity of Interest unon
ne ensrsrtar snn innoenee of the civil ssr
vice. Not . little of We true n.ture or the
stilling system or sppolntmenu to office
nsd been laid Dare by Mr. Conklinfs sx-
traordlnary act or sel r -possession ths Us

pline parties for aggressive Id successful

ci bosses senatorial and congressional "in

enemies and Ihe full satisfaction or friends.
It must tlwtys menace tbe successful party
Itself with fictional disruption. Outteau
the assassin had ttld that be fired hit shots
for the "sttlwtru" that Mr. Arthur Weir
friend might be president; snd those mur-
derous shot .till rang in the ear or We
country like a turning confirmation or all
lht advocates of civil reform had said.
Congressmen slw opinion at last act steadi-
ly irresistibly towards radical measures of
reformation with force and certainty It
nsd never shown perore and Democrats and
Republican found on more question upon
wnirn opinion netting upon them is It did
they must agree. In August isst. while
the president lty dying various local as-
sociations which had been formed to tgiute
the question of the reform of the' civil ser
vice were drawn together In a meeting held
tt ewport. Rhode Island Into t NsUonal
Civil Service Reform league whose first
art was to exprett Its hearty approbation
of t bill for the reform or the service which
Mr. Pendleton of Ohio hsd Introduced the
the fence msrked preceding year In the sánate.
The hill would no doubt have ltln tlmost
unnoticed on the docket of We tentte hut
not Mr. conkllng's arrogance and Oulteu'
madness of bitter passion disposed all tbe
country to consider what must be done.
Mr. Prndletton wa a Democrat but b
spoke only for till nlf snd For other men
of like conviction In lbs matter not for hi
party fn the bill In wMch ha proposed
return to We system of competitive appoint-
ments which congrett nsd authorised ta
1079 snd abandoned In 174. Neither did he
tpeak for the party In power who regarded
such s mesiure as a mere curtailment ot
Its political influence. Even W tragedy or
IMI did not tntxe we politicians rrom tasar
stubborn hostility. For almost two year
We bill lingered and made no progress ds
spite the unmistakable evidences of opinion
out of doors. But we ejecuons or test sui
Heed to bring It to llf. In th congress
chosen in 1 80 the Republicans predominas
ed. by bare majority too small to use. In
both houses. But the election! of IW put
into We house a Democratic majority of
more than eight and roused the Republic
in to a sudden sense or their responilblll
tv to the public opinion of the country
Tbe lenste changing by .totes not by We
iweep of the popular vote remained In their
hands: Weir majority were was even in

senate they were to command a terries
ble majority of four. But Wey red the
signs of the weather with tt keen an ap
prehension s If they had loit boW senate
and house. The Democrat! on their part.
were ready to enhance Weir growing credit
with the country by .bowing inemseivea
willing advocate of reform on the 6th of
January. ISfB. accordingly before the new
congress met the Pendleton bill pasted both

when Mamma vmo to sku
The winter tamed to rammer.
And th green came back awhile
in those days ws all remember-
When mother used to smile!
Her ere were sunbeams surety!
And her cheeks war roses red.
And she laid her band so gently
On your little tossled bead.
Oh tbe sorrow snd tbe trouble
And the nut childhood eve.
Row they vanished like s bubble
When your mother's smile wa tbartt
And yon crept to her so trusting
When you saw her face that Way
And tbe world once more was rosy
Like ptW Wat bloom with Mty.
M could change the gloomiest WMMT
To a sudden spell of spring;
She would hold your hands Hsmhr
And her trms tround you fling
And you soon forgot your terror
And were ture no little tod
Wat ao blotted with love and laughter.
Was so carefree and to glsd.
There ws witchery there was magic
In her gentle ways. Ah met
When the roads were long and dusty
She ws like s wayside tree;
And you knew where'er you wandered
That across each weary mile
Flew We memory or We sunshine
When your mower used to smile.
The spark Wat light we living day.
That shine in dreams above;
Tbe sun that decks the feet of May
Is love eternal love.

But tbe moonbeams walk
On We shore and creek;
And We fairies sing
And We flowers imito.
