The Man Who Does Things.

Here is a sentiment once penned by
Colonel Roosevelt which is naturally
recalled at this time I'VE need fear
less criticism of our public mcn and
public parties; we need unsparing con-
demnation of all persons ana all prin-
ciples that count for evil in our pub
lie lfe, but it hehOoves every man to
remember that the work of the critic,
important though it is, is of second
airy Importance, and that, i'm the end,
progress is accomplished by the man
who does things. and not by the man
who talks about how they ought or
ought not to be done"
1t is because Colonel Roosevelt does
things thar he occupies his present
conspicuous place in the estimation Of
the people. 1t cannot be doubted by
those who have read his writings that
he possesses ample ability to serve
with distinction as a critic If he were
inclined to give his energy that vent,
George William Curtis, when alive,
Carl Schurz and their class of censor
ions commentators upon other mems
actions never had a stronger or clearer
intellect than Teddy" of the Rough
Riders; but while they sat in their
study windows and theorzed about
men and conditions known from afar
Roosevelt threw himself into the hurly
burly and did a strong mans cour-
ageous part in doing things" That
was his kind of criticism, the kind,
after all, which counts.
In a peculiar sense, therefore. Roose-
welt today personifles the aggressive
constructive tendencies of the Repub-
lican PARTY, the party that does

things" You do not find him among
the men who are making political cap
ital out of the mistakes or the unavoid-
able shortcomings in the management
of the war, although he and his mel
suffered as much from the hardships
of army service as any class of men
in the country. On the contrary, his
spirit was shown when he sent wori to
the president from Santiago: "one-
quarter of my command has surren-
dered to bullets and one-quarter to
disease, but the remaining half is ready
to go ahead whenever ordered" 1t is
a refreshing symptom of the virilty of
the best American public sentiment
that It takes delight in comforting
honor upon such fine type of public
servant-upon the man who does
things"

I'm Important Duty
Before Congress
From the Philadelphia Press.

From the Philadelphia Press.
~ ONGRESS will have no more i'm
III Ii portant subject to consider in the
immediate future than that OF
WI promoting the interests of the
merchant marine engaged IN the
foreign trade of the United States. Our
forefathers had an appreciation of the
great importance of this matter such as
does not exist today. The second act of
the First congress provided for encourag-
ing our shipping interests, the country
having suffered terribly because the Brit
ish had secured control of the carrying
trade. From that time forward for half
a century protection to shipping was re-
garded as important as protection to man-
ufactures and other things. Foreign
vessels were excluded from our coasting
trade, and that absolute protection has
never been withdrawn. In the fifties the
British began a wholesale system of pro-
noting their shipping by subsidies. which,
under free trade influences in congress,
the United States refused to follow. Then
came the war and the destruction of our
merchant marine in the foreign trade Tne
result is shown in the following figures,
made up for ten-year periods:

Learning Through Experience.

Regardless of the findings to be made
by the Commission Of Investigation the
people of the United States have al
ready learned many valuable lessons
in consequence of the war and are pre-
pairing to apply them in legislation.
Certain broad lessons are apparent to
everybody; as, for example, that we
need large navy. a modernized regu-
lar army twice or thrice its present
size, and reserve depots of military
equipment and supplies: but there have
also been a number of less conspicu-
Gus lessons which in the aggregate
possess considerable value. A cores
pondent of the Times-Herald thus
makes note of them
THE twelve company formation for
regiments was among the first. Au-
thorty to enlist professional cook in
every company was an important
change. Hospital ships were supplied
early in the campaign and have proved
a great blessing. The army has also
| had hospital train in service for some
| time bringing sick and wounded north.
| Troopships specially fitted for the
| transportation of soldiers will hereaf-
| ter be permanent feature of the mill
tary establishment and If the European
! plan is adopted they will be turned
over to the navy to be handled by naval
officers at the call of the army. Smoke
less powder for army and navy is COM
ing into use as fast as it can be man
ufactured. The old 45-caliber Springfield
! rifle is doomed, and the Krag- -Jorgen-
! sen or some other magazine gun will
| supplant it. In the navy greater de-
cannon. The navy was well supplied
with distilling apparatus to supply pure
I water, and indications point to some
similar device for lessening typhoid
fever in army camps. The navy is
likely to get a new system of rewards
for its heroes. Instead of advancing a
gallant officer five or ten numbers at
the expense of five or ten of his fellow
officers the reward may be a medal
and a permanent increase in pay. The
navy department has committed itself
to battle ships that shall make more
than eighteen knots an hour, though
it was on the point several weeks ago
of letting contracts for three ships of
sixteen knots, with provision that
they would be accepted if they made
only fifteen knots. The naval reserves
may be made a national organization,
and are certain, because of the demon
stration of their value, to find greater
favor in the eyes of the government and
the navy department"
All these things, and many others,
have been taught and have been ac-
cepted as the results of experience.
The experts foresaw most of them and.
had their advice been needed, would
have averted lot of suffering and
trouble. But the American people in
matters like these will not learn wis
dom in any other school. They de-
mand to be convinced by actual test.
If this war had developed no weak
spots in military administration it
would have lacked educational effect
Those who now complain in great
measure have themselves to blame for
past failure to bestow deserved thought
upon military subjects.
