Reed on Presidents he Has Known.

Reed on Presidents he Has Known,
From the Chicago Times-Herald.
Tom Reeds tongue has lost none
ofits sharpness. He tries to blunt
its keen edge but now and then na.
ture will have its way. Not long ago
Mr.. Reed was tempted by some of
his congressional friends to talk
about the presidents he had known,
and the result was a bit of enjoyable
satire in Mr.. Reeds characteristic
vein. Il think l understand Mr..
Cleveland Reed began. He is a
man who does the best he can.within
the limits OF his understanding. 1t
is only just to put in this qualifca-
ton. Cleveland is courageous, es-
pecially when he knows the guns are
not loaded. Though he has never
been TO war he knows the difference
between OuIlets anu blank cart
ridges. l have met Cleveland and
he pleased me by his directness.
There is no nonsense about him.
He in not thinking about himself at
all. You know the man in the white
house has to steel himself against
tattery. Every fellow wants to tell
him what thing of beauty he is,
how sweet his voice, how rice his
hair, and they are all after cheese.
No one could hatter him. He came
to Washington with such a good
opinion of himself no one could add
anything that would please him.

70 the patriotic people of Jackson,
Clay, Cass, Lafayette, Platte, John
son, Bates, Henry and Vernon Couo-
ties, in the State of Missouri
At meeting of Ex-Confederate
Soldiers recently held in Kansas
City, Mo, it was determined to erect
a suitable monument at Forest Hill
Cemetery, "a few miles south of
Kansas City, Mo, in Jackson Coun.
ty) in commemoration of the seventy
three Confederates who sleep in
'that beautiful, silent City of the
dead"
1t is distinguishing mark of
brave and patriotic people that they
delight to honor their heroic dead.
It is true the cause for which these
soldiers fought and fell was lost,
but their lives We're none the less
illustrations of American and Mis-
souri, valor.
There may have been a time when
such an enterprise would have been
looked upon with disfavor by some,
but that time has happily past for
ever, and this instance we are moved
with gratitude by the fact that We
have the sympathy and substantial
support of not a few who were
prominent soldiers agains. whom
these fallen heroes fought.
1t is estimated that it will require
about $4,000 to erect a suitable
monument, and that sum will raise
such monument as will be fitting
expression of afectionate memory;
one which (when erected on the
high point where rests the remains
of the Confederate dead will be a
source Of pride to us and our chill
dren.

negroes can be induced to take med.

Our Idle Little Army .
New York World.

New York World.
In his annual report Secretary La
mont gives the total effective
strength of the army as 20,5S4 men
Of all arms. He reports that during
the last year, as during the preced,
ing one, this force has had nothing
to do in the way of military opera
tions. There was no public enemy
to oppose and there were no Indian
outbreaks to suppress. Upon a
false alarm small force WAS sent to
Jackson's Hole, but it had no occa
sion to make war upon anybody.
Ours is the greatest nation in the
world, population, territory, wealth
and influence all considered. Yet
our army is almost immeasurably
the smallest maintained by any
great nation or even by any second
or third rate nation in the world.
And that army, small as it is, has
nothing to do except maintain the
nucleus of an organization upon
which to rest a volunteer force
should the necessity of armed ma
tional defense ever arise.
All this is the result of conditions
that are more than creditable to the
great republic andss its people. We
have no need to arm agninst other
nations because we mind our own
business and interfere with nobody.
We do not provoke aggression, and
should we be wantonly assailed we
could call citizen and patriot soldiers
into the field by millions for the na.
tional defense
Better still, our government is OF
the people, by the people and for the
people, and it has nothing to fear
from the people. 1t needs no great
army to support its authority be
cause its authority is simply that OF
the people themselves.
But as nucleus, as an agency for
preserving systematic skill in the
arts of war and putting down dis
order upon occasion, our army has
an important work 10 DO, and unde,
Secretary Lamont it is doing that
duty as we'll as the antiquated regi.
mental organization permits. The
appeal of the secretary for authority
to adopt a more modern organization
adapted to modern methods and
conditions of war is the more to be
heeded because our army is not
maintained for fighting but to KEEP
military instruction alive. Should
the necessity Of fighting alise the
regular army ought to furnish no;
only the nucleus of the forces TO be
raised but pattern for their organ
ization. The secretary, whose wise
care has SO greatly improved the
army we have, should be empowered
without delay to organize it in way
to make its usefulness as great as
we may some day need.

is your husbands mother and therefore
yours, for his people have become your
people. There have been vulgar jests, ri
diculous songs and coarse puns about the
husbands mother ever since any of us can
remember, but in how many households is
the husbands mother an angel, not in dis
guse, but appreciated and loved2 Now
will you take my advice and call her what
your husband does? viii you treat her
Just as you DO your own mother not be-
ing afraid to tell her of your little affairs,
receiving her as one of your own and max
ing her feel happy in the fact that she has
not lost a son, but has gained daughter
and loving, considerable daughter? Will
you remember this, too-that before you
came your husband was all in all to his
mother? And sometimes when she comes
to see you won't you leave these two alone
and let them talk together as they did be-
fore the two became trio? Don't make
it evident that you are doing this, but go
off for a little while and attend to some
of your household duties.
