Having disposed of the beef inquiry,
perhaps the president may now get time
to attend to the case of Capt. Carter, of
the United States army. Over two years
ago this Capt. Cater was accused of
stealing more than million dollars
from the government. He was found
guilty by court martial more than a
year ago, and sentenced to pay a large
fine, be imprisoned for five years and
dismissed from the army, but the presi-
dent has not yet found time to approve
the findings of the court, and Capt. Car
ter is still dong regular duty and draw
ing full pay. The captains stealings
were made possible by collision with a
contractor. AS an army officer he was
not required to give bond, but the con
tractor was. If the sentence Of the gull
sty captain is not executed before July
next, it is said that the Liability Of the
contractors bondsmen will lapseby linn
itation, and some think this explains the
great amount of time, required to con-
slider this case Northfeld Independent.

THE PLATFORr1 WOrIAN.


Edward w. Box has brought down
upon his head the condemnation of a
numerous class of women. In his pa
per, the Ladies' Home Journal, he has
written editorially as follows:
''The platform woman never has been
a credit, but ever blot upon American
womanhood. I have seen the rooms Of
their homes left in wild disorder; I have
seen their servants sitting in 1dleness
with work on every hand to do; have
seen the children neglected and left to
their own devices"
Mr.. Box has long been accepted as an
authority upon the subject Of woman
hood, since he makes his living by stud
ying feminine wants and caprices, but
some of his above quoted observations
seem strange. How did he get all his
information about the interior Of the
platform woman's homer Did he break
into the Kitchen, hide himself in. the
nursery, prowl through the other rooms,
spy upon the servants and investigate
generally2 Perhaps he has only guessed
what the condition of the platform Wom-
ans home is. If lie has. lis guess has
the appearance of being probably true.
The woman who goes about lecturing
making political speeches and agitating
for female suffrage, usually has no chill
dren. That is we'll, for they would be
sadly neglected otherwise. The woman
with a number of growing children, a
household and servant or two to man
age, has about as much as she can at
tend to, without spending much time
careering over the country, and minding
other peoples business. Time and fem
mime energy are limited and do not per:
nit woman to do platform work and
manage a home on the side.

electrlfy the world from the platform

in public, but attends to his knitting, as

Prof. J. i. Laughlin q. the Chicago
University in his recent speech held at
Chicago said:
If there is SO little real gain to be made
out of the Philippine trade to whom
would the expansion of our territory be
proftable2 It is quite clear that the
great body of our laboring men could
not continue to live in that climate and
that there is no future there for them.
They can have no lust of conquest, be-
cause from them are recruited the brave
rank and file who are always paying the
cost of war with precious lives. More
over, on them falls a heavy part of the
expenditure of war and expansion. The
hundreds of millions of dollars which
the Philippine Islands are costing US
m ust be paid for by taxes on our shoes,
our clothing, our hats, and on our tools
of industry. If, then, the laboring class
anu tue GaA payers must pay ~ tHAs
war, who gains2 / answer: Only the
few favored ones who may obtain pub
lie office or concessions for banks, spec
ial franchises to build and operate street
railways and other similar commercial
privileges. That is, the working men
and the tax payers are to be impudently
asked to offer their lives and property
that syndicates may have few more
chances to fill their purses. How long
will we go on patiently submitting to
this exploitation of the country for the
good of those who are influential IN pol

would be so much lighter than the rate at

pEwEY,s SOCIAL RANK.

There has been a great deal of talk in
Washington relative to Admiral Deweys
social rank. This talk began very soon
after his return from Manila. Those
Washingtonians who pretend to know
everything about social matters took the
ground that he was really at the head of
the military establishment of the govern,
ment, and that he was only cutranked by
che President Vice President, members OF
the cabinet, diplomatic corps and the Su,
preme Court.
This talk about his social position was
particularly noticeable after his marriage
4 paragraph appeared in one of the local
papers in which 1t was stated that the
Admiral expected TO be placed next to
the President on all social occasions. It
is alleged that this paragraph was traced
to the Admiral. but it is probable that
there is no authority for that statemen;
But whether there is or not, the state de-
partment took the matter up and settled
the question of precedence, so as to save
any annoyance to anybody in future.
1t was held that the Admiral was a su.
bordinate of the navy department. and
that subordinate could not take preced-
ence of his superior al a social func-
ton. His place on great social occasions
at the capitol therefore will be after the
cabinet and diplomatic corps. This ques,
ton of precedence at social affairs seems
to be a small matter to most people. but
