Latter From Mrs P1eva,

A letter has been received from Mrs.
Pleva, who was sent to Waupun about
a year ago, on charge of numbering
her husband. She says she is rapidly
learning to speak English and evil
dences a great interest in her children,
who are now at the State school at
Sparta. Mrs. Pleva intimates that she
has some evidence which would have
been of great value to her in the trial.

Forethought in The Navy Depart
ment

ment
In our admiration of the dashing ex-
ploits of the navy on the high seas we
are liable to lose sight of the excellent
work that was done during the war by
those officials and assistants whose
duties were none the less valuable,
arduous, or efficiently performed, be-
cause they we're carried out at desk
or over draughting board. In no
branch of the naval service was more
faithful work done, or harder work,
than in the Bureau of Construction,
which had charge of the overhauling
of the ships of the regular navy and
conversion of the auxiliary vessels
from merchantmen and yachts to
cruisers and dispatch and patrol boats,
or ia the Bureau of Ordance, which had
to see that hundreds of vessels carrying
guns of various sizes, and scattered
over the waters of two hemispheres
we're kept fully supplied with ammu-
milton.

No doubt there are some who, for
selfish reasons, will persistently shut
their eyes to the great lessons the war
has taught but nevertheless it has
taught many lessons and chief among
them is the vital Importance to any
country of being prepared for war. In
the midst of peace we are in strife.
Since the final settlement of the grav-
est internal discussions by the civil
war there had been a feeling on the
part of the American people that war
was at an end. Our isolated position,
the high degree of civilization which
belongs to the United States and the
feeling of friendliness existing between
Uncle Sam and his immediate neigh
bors had brought to many minds the
conviction that war was an impOssl-
bility.
But lust as we we're cOngra tul ating
ourselves on our own security While
the nations of Europe were to all
appearances on the point of a general
war, the cloud burst right ever our
very head. Lightning strikes where 1t
is least expected. Before We knew il
the war. which was looked upon as SO
remote, was upon US in all its fury.
We gathered all our stupendous
strength in one splendid effort. For
time every nerve Of this great country
was strained to its utmost. There was
the greatest activity throughout all
government departments. Every
functionary worked night and day and
officials spared neither time, labor nor
money to put the nation Cd war foot
ING and meet the unknown demands to
be made upon it, By virtue of our
vast wealth, our admirable system of
government and the wisdom of those in
authority, this great effort was success
full. We met and defeated our enemy.
We accomplished all the purposes OF
the war, and far more. We drove a
deopotic government forever from the
western hemisphere; we established
beyond doubt the superiority of our
warships and our marines; we proved
to the worlds satisfaction that Amer
leans are as good fighters today as in
the days of Washington and Grant.
All this the war proved, but 1t
proved much csc. 1t demonstrated to
the last detail that while our system of
national guard is splendid it still lacks
many things to make it the most
efficient. For fighting" in their own
country the guards are uneXcelled.
But for camping out" for an extended
period or for actual service away from
home the national guard is not yet
competent. Much of the calamity
which has accompanied the life of the
volunteers at some camps was more
the result Of insufficient preparation
than of neglect or inefficiency on the
part of any government official or Off
Gals. The major part of the ineffi-
cheney was attributable to the system,
rather than to the individuals employed
to operate it. What is most needed is
a standing army sufficiently large tC
eleminate the necessity of sending
untried, unframed volunteers out Of
the country and enough places of rem
desvouz TO provide for the sanitary
camp of comparatively large forces al
points of vantage throughout the
country and ample provision for trans
portation both of troops and supplies

A year ago Thursday night the local

lively interest. After the addresses
the boys spent several pleasant hours
in social enjoyments.

There has already been some dis
cussion of the probable action of the
Senate on a treaty Of peace with Spain,
providing for the annexation of the
PHILIPPINES and it is suggested that
such Il treaty might not be ratified.
This is probably teeler thrown out to
learn how far opposition to annexation
will promise to prove popular. 1t will
also be noticed that it comes from
democratic sources. A grim fate is
forcing democracy into an undesirable
position OH these new questions, just
as on questions of the past. The re-
publicans pre-empted the solid ground
just as they did on the financial issues
and driven to opposition by tradition
and prejudice, democracy will again
founder in the mire of opposition even
though it's brainiest men know and re-
greet it, that is the position they will
either have to take or abandon their
party as have gold democrats.

republican party has always been that
it afforded perfect freedom of thought

will be a factor in deciding the policy

no doubt aequiesce in the policy to be
