ANGLUM FoR CoLoNLA1.

Secretary Roots evident desire to Of
ticer the new regiments with only such
leaders as have military experience and
fitness to command, has made an ex-
cellent impression. Hard experience
has taught that in army and navy a
rigorous system of civil service must
be maintained. A volunteer private
can speedily be made into an efficient
fighting machine. With officers it is
different. None but experienced cam
paigners should be placed in command.
In the war with Spain those regi-
ments commanded by old campaigners
won the most fame. Col. Leonard
Woods rough riders were submitted to
the rigorous discipline of the regular
army. Col. Stotsenburg, another reg
ular army officer, had wonderful sue
cess with his Nebraska regiment. Col.
Fred Funston, while never regular
army officer, had taken part in nearly
hundred battles and skirmishes in
Cuba.
Since the recent victory of Can't.
Anglum in the Philippines, number of
his Worcester friends have agitated
the question of bringing pressure to
bear upon Washington to secure his
promotion. His dashing courage, united
with quarter of century of active
service in the regular army, would
make him an ideal man to command
one Of the ten regiments about to be
formed. If it is true there is to be a
New England brigade commanded by
the present colonel of the TWENTY
sixth, Secretary Root should select tried
New Englanders to command these
regiments. None better than Capt.
Anglum can be found. Capt. Anglum
will make no application for the pro-
motion, but his friends will do well to
press his claims for a colonelcy in one

The annual convention of the ED
worth Leaguers of Massachusetts, now
in session at Sterling camp grounds,
ought to be productive of great and
highly beneficial results to the Method
list churches of the state. A particu-
larly prominent and pleasant feature
is the presence of so many young men
and women who are Identifying them
selves with the active labors of the
session. The reverend gentleman from
Portland, who delivered the opening
address yesterday afternoon, could have
made no happier or more apt utterance
to them than when he said, in speaking
of education along the lines of Chris
tianity, Hard work is only another
name for genius" The remark was
not an original one. 1t was one of the
aphorisms of the great Garfield, but
it is as true today as when it was first
uttered, and it will remain a truth I'M
til the end of time. 1t permeated every
hour of Christ's life upon the earth; it
has been the basis of every successful
Christian life; it was the one prominent
characteristic of John Wesley, the
founder of Methodism, and to the
younger element in the Methodist
Church of today, it must serve as the
superstructure of a still greater and
grander organization than the members
of the league have ever dreamed of
building. Working along those lines,
they may well follow the closing adj
monition of Rev. Mr.. Freeman in
quoting from Wofseley's words to
Cromwell, Let all the ends thou aimst
at be thy country, thy God and truth

Root shows good judgment in his de-
termination to do the greater part of
his recruiting here and in the west. The
rotten boroughs of the south where
every white man wants to be an officer

What text for a political econo-
mist" says Chauncey Depew. Scarcity
of labor to make and use labor saving
machinery" Senator Depew's remark
was precipitated by the inability of
great manufactures that make farm
ing implements and other labor saving
devices to get enough workmen to turn
out their orders, and of farmers who
use them to secure laborers. And yet
the democrats talk of making a cam
paign next year on the shortcomings of
the republican administration, the chief
offense of which seems to lie in the fact
that it has given employment to SO
many that the country is short of labor.
Under the last democratic administra-
ton the country was long on labor and
short on food for the men who were out
of work. Has the democratic party dis
covered some new device by which it
can close up the mills and factories of
the land and still keep labor employed
at republican wages?

The New York representative Of Nell
son Morris & Co. has given the follow
ing explanation of the rise in meat to
New York newspaper: Don't take any
stock in scarcity of cattle, he says.
There is a shortage in some lines, but
it is far too small to cause such a rise
in prices as the country has expert
enced. The explanation, he says, lies in
the fact that American packers are at
tempting to drive Australian COMPETE
ton out of Great Britain. AS a means
of accomplishing this they are shipping
vast quantities of American beef to
England and filing every corner OF
Great Britain with it. Prices have been
cut over there until American beef is
much cheaper than it is here. Prices
have been advanced at home to make
up for the cut in prices abroad, and the
American public is thus made to pay
the cost of meat war in Great Britain.
