THE PRESIDENTS INJUSTICE, In army circles as well as outside them President Roosevelt’s wholesale order of dishonorable discharge against every man in three companies of the Twenty-fifth Infantry is indignantly condemned. Aside from its injustice and inexpediency, its legality is challenged by competent authorities. As Commander-in-Chief of the Army the President has absolute power to discharge any enlisted man without trial, but has he legal authority to make that discharge ** dishonorable” at his caprice ? It would be well if the courts were called on to determine this point, Among the soldiers dishonorably discharged at El Reno are non-com- missioned officers who by long and faithful service would have soon been entitled to the benefits of the retired list. Bix of the discharged men, ac- cording to the records, have medals of honor and thirteen certificates of merit. Same of these colored soldiers have seen service on the western frontier, in Cuba and in the Philip- pines. ‘L'hree privates have been dis- honorably discharged at Fort Riley, Kansas, from the Ninth Cavalry, in which they re-énlisted this fall after their term of enlistment in the Twenty-fifth Infantry expired. Know- ing none to be guilty, President Roose- velt allows nope to go unpunished. ————————— ll —— ————————— Harris Township.

It is claimed by some that the fire in the Harper stable was the result of spontaneous combustion, supposed to have taken place in a pile of unthresh- ed oats. The writer wishes to call at- tention to the fact that after much ex- perimenting and search, the best authorities state that no conclusive evidence has ever been produced to prove that spontaneous combustion ever took place from “ overheating of hay, grain or fodder. While there is such a thing us spontaneous com- bustion, it has never been shown to have resulted from ‘overheated bay, grain, fodder, or the like. TS ———— ro ———— Richly Qolored Corn.

There are very few clothing institutions anywhere in the world that have the facilities for producing the highest type of men’s clothes, such as The House of Kuppen- heimer has. Fewer still that adhere closely to their high standard of pro- duction. There is that quality about Kuppen- heimer Clothes, due to the expert work- manship entering into their manufact- ure, which stamps the wearer “a well dressed man” from the day he puts the garment on until he is ready to lay it aside. Only the sixty-and-seventy-five- dollar-custom-tailor can equal them. MONTGOMERY & CO. BELLEFONTE =~ - = PENN.
