Speaking of what a newspaper
does for its community, the late
United States Senator Davis, of
Illinois, made an address that re-
mains ever green in the memory of
newspaper men. Every year your
local paper gives from $500 to
ST 900 in free lines for the benefit
of the community in which it is To-
Gated. No other agency can do or
will do this. The editor, in pro-
portion to his means, does more
than any other man; and in all
fairness, man with man, he ought
to be patronized, not because you
like him or admire his writings,
but because a local paper is the
best investment a town can make
II may not be crowded with great
thoughts, but financially it is more
of a benefit than both preacher
and teacher. To-day editors of To-
cal papers do more for less pay
than any other men on earth. Pat
ronize your home paper, not as a
charity, but as an investment. f"

Reform In the Army.

The charges of corruption and
incompetency in the army which
are being banded about amount to
a national disgrace and may do
much to weaken our prestige
abroad. AS one after another the
deficiencies in the volunteer army
are disclosed the necessity for com
plete and thorough reorganization
becomes painfully apparent. The
American militia system must be
reformed and politics in the army
must give way to ready recogni-
ton of merit, to discipline and
efficiency. There is abundance of
material out of which to form a
splendid army, but the govern
ment in order to secure the ser
vices of the best men must recog-
nize capable and experienced off
GERS and place them in command
after retiring a large number of
supernumeraries whose only dis
tinctiOn is their shoulder straps.

gan. including the port of Aparri. in
the island of Luzon. 1t forgets, how
ever. hat this would require the sane
ton of h United States as the suzer-

is an absurdity.

regarded as a manifesto.
H said: al will not now conceal from

sire to create the least difiiculty for my

all her children should sacrifice them

puts me to despair. but 1 carry II to the
extreme Of even refraining from ex-
pressing my opinions.
Governing statesmen who have COM
mitted the crime of not preparing the
nation for a war everyone saw to be
unavoidable for the last two years will
never be able to accuse me with having
withdrawn a single Spanish will In the
nations force against the United States.
They brought on the wal by yielding to
American demands and they will have
to take the responsibility of the policy.

arrives l will make up for my silence.
i will then take my revenge, not by

soon as my conscience as a Spaniard
permits me to do 1t. I am firmly re-
solved to fulfill my duty to the end. to
omit no sacrifice in order to redeem and

thought out n completed plans re-
garding the military problem and the
question of SPANS foreign policy.
They are my favorite subjects OF
meditation" he observed. "and 1 have
certain mature ideas of my own re-
garding them. 1 have even carried
out some preliminaries respecting alli-
ances which 1 hope will some day yield
excellent fruits. This. in my judgment.
Is the capital point. because the proud
isolation of Great Britain has been and
is deadly to Spain. 1 must pass the

THE results of such a policy can
only be to reduce to the condition of

Don Carlos spoke eloquently of the
necessity for prosecuting the war to the
utmost. .- -.

Spain can bring to a nation with which
she may strike an alliance in the day of
