AN ARGUS IN BLIND STAGGERS

| \ eyes and to nave fOund need Tor all OF them
in attending to his business The fresh Argus
OF Alameda may have had equal number OF eyes
to start with but OF late has been afflicted with
blind staggers and is bucking around much like a
diseased mule.
In late issue, going it blind the Argus declares
The Call has made bitter attacks on militarism in
Idaho and has asserted the negro regulars ter
rorizng the country and subjecting white women to
insults and then it adds: The colored soldiers are
rather self-respecting and steady going rule
than white soldiers They have immense pride in
themselves soldiers and strong esprit de corps" "
In that statement as many and departures
from the path of truth blind, staggering beast
could make from highway on summers day. The
Call has published from the districts in Idaho under
martial law reports sent out by the Hon. Patrick
Reddy and other correspondents OF equal reliability.
The statements contained these reports not to
be refuted by eaggerating and msrepresenting them
to the verge OF falsehood, and in seeking to do so
the Argus staggered into its first error.
The second stagger is even worse than the first.
The white men OF the regular army will learn with
surprise that newspaper exists in this country which
decries them being inferior to the men of negro
regmens-ineror in self-respect inferior in steadi-
ness inferior pride in the service and inferior in
the honor OF soldier
Assertions of that kind rejecting upon the SOL
derly qualities OF the who uphold the flag of the
Union and who fighting in the Philippines
insulting when the source from which they
come is considered There is no excuse for them
The soldiers OF the army are in no way responsible
for affairs at Wardner, and to denounce them as
worse than negroes for the purpose of making a
point in unwarranted attack on The Call is about
as malicious piece of folly was committed.

The most lugubrious masculine vail
of the season on the subject of dress
comes from the heroes of our ever vic
torious navy, and is supported by the
Washington Post. That rather es-
teemed contemporary refers to the sub
ject as a discussion concerning "the
naval officers trousseau," and is of the
opinion it ought to occupy much more
of public attention than it does. Ac-
cording to the Post, the trousseau is
too expensive for the average young
man who becomes welded to the navy.
1t says:
Nobody has ever yet given rational,
or at least an ineligible, explanation
of the enormous wardrobe which the
naval officer has to provide, usually out
of very meager bank account Just
how many different uniforms he is re,
quired to provide we do not like to say
This is not comic newspaper, and we
object to putting the Navy Department
in the range of ridicule and laughter
We do know, however, that the average
outfit, reduced to the smallest possible
proportions, costs the individual any,
where from $500 to S1200 And this. it
seems to us, is bringing nonsense to it's
finest point
The point is well made and the Post
merits the thanks of the youthful naval
man for directing public attention to
the wrong done him. The President is
free to dispense with a golf costume

delphia man to spend his wealth for

The other asked for security franchise

purchase price is in round numbers Si6.O0O.-

in case the new company defaults the lines
shall revert to the old company with n thirty
