The President of the United States, b.1 virtue of his offBt'e and his manlfold duties. rarely can. dine out. Mr. anc Mrs. Marshall have given a number of semI-public receptions on theirr. owi account. The ambassadors almost al. ways attended them. because they liked the receptions, and they like the Marshalls. There always has been a -democratic spirit at these vtee-presi dential affairs. The wonder is If there is anything wrong in saying that or. dinarily at these receptions Mr. Mar shall has worn a sack coat, a busi ness coat in other words, unless ol course the affair were in the eve'ning Comment on the Cabinet One xiwministration has moved oul and another has moved in.

In the Army and Navy departments of the government the secretaries may believe themselves to be the directors in-chief, but they never are so in ' truth. For the first time In a long while there are a secretary of war and a secretary of the navy who have been members of the armed forces. both of them having served as sailor men. Neither of the secretaries, how ever, was long enough in the service 'thoroughly to become a part of it in being and endeavor. So to all intents and purposes Secretary Weeks and Seery Denby are landsmen and Ielvlans,. add they,H,1ke former. secre taries, must turn to a service man for advice ard guidance.

Today, in the over shadowing deeds of the great war, the deeds' and hardships of the men who fought on the plains are apt to be for gotten.

Sympathy-'for the Indian. Before going any further, let it be said that all through the stories that were told at the indian Wars dinner ran the notes of sympathy for the In dians whom these men had fought. It can be said .that in this latter day these soldiers of the Indian .wars who bad been true to their duty, distasteful -as it was, still feel resentment 'that It was necessary for them to engage in a kling warfare with the Indians. of the West. General King told of a command of troops whieh, although it had suffered at the' ha,nds of the Chejennes, had suh sympathy and.adrairation for the femen that the soldiers begged the In dians to surrender and not to continue the battle which meant virtually their extermination. The stories ofthO5edays on the Big Horn the Belle Fouches and the Rose bud; and on the pluins of western Kan sas, of Colorado and the Panhandle of Texas, to say nothing of the mountains of Arizona, may sound like ancient his tory. but they were as vIvid In recital as if they were the affairs of yester day. Tales of toilsome marches, with the troops subsisting upon horsemneat, with no bread or coffee or tobacco to sustain them or to cheer them, were the same stories that were told in the East constantly frotn thirty to fifty years ago, and yet brou'ght no proper appreciation of the suffering and the high "odeavor of the men who were carrying o,ut the mandate of their get. arament. u a ALL BAC'YERINS HEREAFTER CIS c TRIBUTED FROM DEPOT LO CATED AT COtUMBIA. 4W SERINE FOCkdOTORS The Company Securipg antract Wi Keep the Products at'Proper Tem perature for Prompt Shipment Columbia. b Vaccine, diphtheria ' anti-toxin- and the various other bacterins used by physicians in this state will -hereaf ter be distributed direct from Colum- I bia, E.
