politician with a pull would accept a
position requiring expert knowledge
OF electricity, chemistry or botany,
yet he accepts colonel's or captains
job with an aplomb that would be
ridiculous il it were not so fatal to
the youths whose lives are sacrificed
SO lightly. Mr.. Bryan is the only
colonel by reason Of his candidacy for
the presidency, but there are many
other colonies and majors for less
relevant reasons The system is thor
Oughly vicious and 50 selfish and cruel
that even politics will have to relin-
quish it. Unless congress places mill
tary patronage out Of the reach Of
governors and the politicians who
control them, the time may come
when volunteers will be unwilling to
sacrifice themselves for a country
dead to a sense of responsibility to its
soldiery. The record Of the First Ne.
braska under Lieutenant, now Colonel,
StOtsenburg, may be studied with
profit by those who contend that poll
tical officers are as good as real ones.
Patiently, persistently, severely, he
has taught the men of his command
how to be well in camp. The small
per centage of deaths is directly due
to his knowledge, example, fidelity
and sense Of his high calling. The
First Nebraska is composed Of stu
dents and some of the strongest and
best youth Of the state to whom their
loss would be irremediable in the
years to come. The contrast of the
health reports from the depaI tment Of
the Pacific and the department of the
Atlantic is due more than to any other
cause to the greater proportion of
regular army officers i'm the former de-
partment. The boys who died at
Chickamauga from typhoid fever con-
tracted in filthy camp cannot be re-
called by an investigating committee,
but that committee can recommend
changes in the present system which
will be the means of saving the life of
the babies who will 60 to war in the

To die, fighting II e usurpIDg whites

wI:h a chance of conquering them, is
the hope Of the Indians. 1t has struck
many a spectator Of the sham battle
and war dance Of the Indians at
Omaha that there was nU vaudeville

red blankets, with the paint only par
tally concesling the dirt on brOnchOs
and riders, the Indians, armed with
knives and guns, sweep up to the
grand stand filled with open-mOuthed
and unarmed whites in altogether too
realistic a fashion. They CO their
turn every day, but why should they
be SO eager about it? Why should
they enjoy it SO? Even the lions,
tigers, leopards and elephants OF
Hagenback's show have the vaudeville
yawn and the perfunctOry, tired to-
death, absentIlinded air Of the regu-

ing. The hereditary instinct is hard
to kill. The foOtlights burn up love
and various sentiments of what men
are pleased to call honor, but the play
is as real as the prairies their ponies
still leap upon, to the Indians. When
Geronino's, big chief, turn comes and
he rides up to the grandstand and
looks it over, his small eyes CLEAN, his
lean face is irradiated by the spirit Of
the chiefs of his long line, and only
his natural shrewdness keeps him
from scalping :the gaping men and
women before him. suppose there is
really no danger, but without doubt
the Indian parade, fight and war
dance is the best illusion on the
grounds. Crows, Black Feet, Chippe-

There is bloodshed, burning murder,
dispOssession, and broken treaties be-
tween them.
The war investigating committee

The science of war can not be learned

II it could, the four years discipline

schools require sturdier mental fibre
and character than the military and
naval academies. Graduates from
these schools know how to take care
