fore the $500, 600 had been raised and be-
fore vouchers were turned over to this
effect. 1t was only just and proper, it
was thought, that this should be done,
about 100000 has already been raised,
and many of the churches which were able
had raised a considerable amount more
than was pledged by them. This resolu-
ton was adopted, and was that the charges
which have raised money should be given
credit for it.

The Army and Navy

Lieut.. ]. P. Hams, the last soldier shot
in the Porto Rico campaign, is recovering
his health at st. Luke's hospital, New York.
He is the Oldest son of Gen. Hams, and Ad-
miral Jenkins was his grandfather.
Sir Herbert Kitchener, who is in command
of the Nile expedition, is having as much
trouble with the correspondents as some OF
the American generals did in Cuba. He knows
no newspapers beyond London, and he Or
dered that only the leading London CORE
spondents should be allowed to proceed with
the army. Now the big provincial papers
are getting after him, and he will be shorn
of some of his glory:
Col. J. j. Van Horn, who insisted on go
ing to Cuba with his regiment in spite
of tho fact that he Is nearly Ga years of
age, is dead. He was commander Of the
Eighth infantry and II he lived until next
February would have been retired brigadier
general.
Admiral Sampson lost thirty pounds In the
campaign. It is said that when his wife
met him In New York she did not recognize
him. so aged had he become.
Gen. Lawton seems to have got the right
idea to subjugate the rebellious Cubans. He
offered to feed all those who would lay down
their arms. He has 200 deserters from the
camp of Gen. Cebeco in the regmental board
ing house already.
The prize money that the officers of the
American navy will receive is tri1ing in
comparison with the amounts obtained by
some Of the great captains of the last CEN
fury. 1t is said that Dewey will get less
than $4,000 for his share Of the prize money
coming from the battle of Manila. During
the French and Spanish wars of the seven
teenth century Commodore Anderson, an Eng
lishman, was paid $3.50, 900 as his share of the
prizes taken in one battle. Two years
later one Capt. James Talbot had for his
share 5000 600 In prizes taken within a year.
One Spanish treasure ship yielded to Capt
Pownal in 1862, the sum Of 1926, OO0 and
three of his lieutenants got $685. 900 each. At
that time the commander got the lions
share. and 1t is related Of Lord Give that
he received as his share of loot in India a
total of f5O0,OC while the share of a COM
mon soldier who was in every campaign with
Give reached the magnificent total of f6.

Library Extension.

1t is worthy Of notice that the Buffalo
public library is extending it's useful
ness in just the direction in which the
utility of the st. Paul public library
is being curtailed by the action of the
city hall and court house commission.
The report of the librarian at Buffalo
for the past year has just been publish
ed, and in that report some mention
is made of the efforts that have been
made to induce the pupils in the public
schools to more fully avail themselves
Of the privileges of the library. So
far is the aim of the Buffalo authorities
from endeavoring to exclude the chill
dren from the use of the library that
arrangements have been made to es-
tablish class room branches Of the IL
brary in the public schools, and make
the spread of the reading habit a part
of the duty Of the teachers. The report
says:
During the summer books in connection
with the work in the schools were catalogued
and made ready. and classroom libraries
will be placed in ten OF the public schools
during the next two weeks. These schools
have been selected as an experiment, and
if the plan succeeds, it will be extended till
it includes all the public schools in the city.
Inc llSL OF DOCKS TO De placed IN the schools
has the approval Of Supt. Skinner, of the
state department Of public instruction, and
also Of Supt. Emerson, of the local school
department.
A circular of instruction has been
sent to the teachers, and from this
circular we quote:
To draw books each pupil must have the
regular ticket issued by the Buffalo public
library. Many of the children now have
tickets, and are already prepared to draw
books from the schools. Application blanks
should be filled out by all the pupils who
have no cards, Endorsed by the teacher and
sent to the public library. Cards will be is
sued and sent to the teacher. Two cards
have been issued to children by the Buffalo
public library. Only the yellow card can be
used at the schools. Pupils over fourteen, to
whom white. cards have been issued, can
have them changed for yellow cards on ap
plicaton to the library assistant.
The number of books will be added to If
desired. The libraries will be changed when
the teacher thinks best, and if any books IN
the collection prove unsuitable, for any rea-
son, they will be taken back and others sub
stituted.
The privilege of the library should never
be a reward, nor its use forbid as punish
ment. An occasional word a little talk
from the teacher about book will add much
to its usefulness.
If it should transpire that the pOliti-
clans have actually the power to shut
the children Of the ST. Paul schools
out from the use of the library, it might
be worth the while Of the library board
to inquire further into the Buffalo
scheme. It may even be necessary in
order to circumVent the pernicious eff
forts of the politicians to render the Ii
brary unapproacha BILE for the youth Of
this city.

Massachusetts Protects the Sol
dierS.

Those newspaper editors who believe,
or pretend to believe, that there is little
or no foundation for the widespread
belief that our soldiers have been
shamefully maltreated as a result of
official neglect. are invited to read the
following telegram from Gov. Walcott,
of Massachusetts, to President McKin-
ley:
THE pitiable condition in which the Second
and Fifth Massachusetts regiments have been
returned from their arduous and gallant
service in Cuba has naturally caused a pro-
found sense of solicitude regarding the Sixth
regiment now in Porto Rico. My own feel
ings are deeply concerned, and I am besought
by personal letters and by the authorities of
cities to ask for the return promptly and the
mastering out of this regiment. l have felt
it my duty to decline to comply with this
requires their services. The splendid patriot
ism which prompted their voluntary enlist
ment Will sustain them in any peril or hard
ship they may be called on to endure.
But the lives Of persons are precious in
the eyes of the commonwealth, and l am as
sured they are to you, to whom the fortunes
of our arms have been competently intrust
ed, and have the honor urgently to request
that, whether in camp, in garrison, or on
transports, these lives may be tenderly guard
ed by every precaution in clothing, food and
medical attention which science may suggest.
To this end effort can be too great and no
expenditure too lavish. The commonwealth,
through its constituted authorities and
through the contributions of its patriotic cit
liens, will be administered by the Volun teer
Aid association who will consider it privi-
lege to be permitted, with money supplies,
to aid the efforts which the national gov
eminent is making to render the service lass
perilous to the lives and health of its gallant

Welcome to the Fourteenth.

Minnesota gives welcome to the Four
teenth regiment. The welcome is not
to be voiced in hollow phrases, but is
felt in the heart beats of the people.
The state gave the regiment to the ma
ton, and the state welcomes it's sons
back with that proud satisfaction that
a mother feels in the return Of a son
who has done his duty nobly. And it
is not in a spirit other than the kind
Hest that it may be said that the pride
Of Minnesota in the Fourteenth differs
from the pride she feels in her other
volunteer regiments.
The Twelfth was made up largely Of
sons of the soil, so was the Fifteenth.
The Fourteenth was recruited to a con-
siderable extent in localities where the
draft for men was made on store,
workshop, bank and office. 1t is with
the greater pride that we can point to
the fact that there was no distinction
of class in the list of volunteers Men
stepped out of banks, from the libraries
Of law offices, from behind the counters
of stores, and enrolled themselves for
the defense of the country in the Four
teenth. That stirring poem telling Of
the exploits of the Dandy Fifth"
might have been suggested in the
makeup of the regiment. The regi-
ment differed somewhat in it's personnel
from the other regiments, but it
straightWay took a place in the front
among the $4,000 volunteers at Chick
amauga, and was known as the crack
regiment of the big camp. In the
Drawn and muscle that the country dis
tricts contributed there was every
| confidence, and it is very gratifying
to the American heart to know that
patriotism and efficiency are qualities
quite as frequently met with in the
store, the office and the bank as in
those other walks of life where natural
rather than artificial conditions contrl-
butte to the development of the higher
aims.
We are proud of the Fourteenth.
The men of the regiment have shown
the country that they have in them the
material Of which soldiers are made.
| They suffered in common the perils of
fever infested camp, and the banker
and lawyer lived hail fellow with the
| farm laborer under conditions that test
the metal of men. 1t is such an ex-
ample as this that proves the unity
Of the American people. There are no
classes, no distinctions, and the lessons
that have been learned in this war
will bring all of the people closer to-

The administrator Scandal

The administration would certainly prove
the worst loser should the investigation
movement turn out to be 1zzle. 1t would
be far better, even from a partisan stand
point. to have the matter disposed Of now
than to delay it til it is made the subject
of congressional inquiry. 1t would furnish the
president valuable matter for his annual mes
sage and be of great aid in suggesting much
needed legislation for a thorough reor-
ganzaton of the army, as indicated by the
lamp of recent Experimentation Globe.
Nobody expected a different report from
Gen. Shafter, although its statement thus
summarized conflicts with the impressions
gathered from published reports, the state
ments of soldiers themselves. and the testi-
mony Of impartial observers. Gen. Shafter

tiago campaign 9to tbs special favor of the
secretary of war. who was under personal

The Democratic Party and the War

The Democratic Party and the War.
The speech of Congressman Bailey at Dam
vile, Va, in which he defended the action
OF the Democratic members of congress on
war measures, Is a perfect vindiCation regard
ing their course. Mr.. Bailey represents a
Texas district and was the acknowledged
Democratic leader in the house at the last
session.
In his Danville speech Congressman Bailey
demonstrates that the opposition of the DEM
ocratic members of congress to the issue of
S5oO'OOoOV0 in war bonds was fully justified
There was no need for this enormous ad-
dition to the national debt. The war tax
act had provided for nearly enough revenue
to pay all the cost of the war. There is now
surplus in the treasury of over $3.50, 900 600
unused money, while the government is pay
ing interest on a loan but little greater in
amount.
MIR. Bailey shows that the creation of this
debt. with the burden Of interest which the
taxpayers must carry. was entirely unneces-
sary. The current receipts of the federal
treasury under the new tax laws should have
paid all the necessary expenses of the war.
No possible denial can be given to this
statement.
In every vote regarding the war issue-ln
making appropriations for war expenses, in
providing for the equipment and maintenance
of our soldiers, in supporting measures for
the prosecution of the war with the utmost
energy, In every other way-the Democrats
in congress followed q consistent course
They stood by the country. They were in
favor Of every war measure which promised
beneficial results in bringing the war to
speedy and successful close.
The Democratic voters throughout the coun-
try were back Of the Democratic members
of congress in the support of war measures
and furnished their full share of the en-
llstments. They pay their full share Of war
taxes and claim no exemptions. The Re-
publican party cannot claim a monopoly nor
any great share of the credit Of this war
and it's magnificent results. The credit Of its
victorious accomplishments belongs to all the
people, Democrats and Republicans alike
The discredit for its Encouragement and for
all the distresses suffered by our soldiers
In the field, camps and hospitals belongs to
the Republican party alone.-Chicago Chroni-
Gle pem.).
