STARS FOR A SAINT

The people generally approve Of the
action Of congress and the president In
|felicitating the heroes of the war upor
their valor, afioat and in the field, in de.
tense Of flag and country, or in the be-
stowal Of titles and medals In recogni-
ton of extraordinary achievements ir
any branch Of the service. There will
be scarcely a murmur against even the
promotion to a major-generalship of a
civilian soldier for zeal and efficiency In
perfecting the organization of the volun-
teer army. But why should not the glo-
rious Clara Barton come in for share
Iof the praise, for a modicum of the graft
tude, for a measure of the rewards for
lvalor, devotion, loyalty and conservation
to duty? Is she not entitled to recogni-
ton along with the other heroes? Is
she not daily risking her life in the
cause? Is she not constantly taking
risks as great, as did. Hobson in the mar
row channel of Santiago, as did Dewey
between the fires of ships and shore at
Manila, as did Schley in chasing the flee
ing Spaniard along the Southern Cuban
coast?
This angel Of march and bivouac, of
battlefield and hospital, is constantly in
danger Of being shot down in her noble
work-actually, according to her own
statement, 'in direct range of sharpshoot-
ers." In a cablegram to her brother,

the front:
Came from Skaters front in the night

are leaving Santiago by thousands.
starving and naked. The State of Texas
has gone to Port Antonio for ice to save
her meat; will return tomorrow. Am
sending supplies to refugees, all we can,
from both camps, by army wagons and
pack mules. 1t is nearly impossible to
land supplies high tides, no docks, surf

ken flatboats, which our men drag

transportation. Horses, packers and
tents would be useful. Wounded men
taken from our operating tents laid on
grass, often without blankets or shelter
from rain or sun. AS others die, their
clothing is taken to put on the naked
to get them down to Siboney, ten miles,
over roads that upset army wagons.
Mrs Gardner myself and the whole
working force Of the Red Cross at the
front are in direct range of sharp
shooters. Lesser and the horses are
doing splendid work at Siboney. The
men are brave as lions. Shafter is act
ing wisely and humanely, doing all he
can. We return to the front at once.
What a fitting preamble that dispatch
would furnish for joint resolution Of
thanks by congress; for bill comforting
rank upon her; for measure granting
to her life privilege to the floor, to the
franking privilege, or to anything else
Of value within the gift of the nation?
Why should congress, while placing stars
upon the shoulders Of the male heroes
Of the war, refer Clara Barton to heaven
for hers?

Business Suit on the Bench

There is something new on the bench, If
