1t is only occasionally that the eye

that as open range diminishes, the
capacity of the State for beef produc-
ton increases. I~tJrepresents the diff
ference between twenty-five acres and

of the belief that when they have pro-
duced a slab-sided steer and sent him
to Montana or Kansas to be fed that
they have produced an entire beef.
They have simply furnished the frame
work on which the feeder places the
beef and makes the profit. We have
been growing these frames and the
feed to fatten them and shipped both
beyond our borders. We must change
this. A new market to the south of

How to Build a Town.

The following sensible advice is
worthy of thought by every man who
desires to see his town grow: "The
best way to build up a town is to
stand by every nan in the place who
does right. All citizens are in a large
sense partners and should not be OPP
ponents. No matter what your call
ing, the more business your rival is
doing the more you will do. Legiti-
mate aggressiveness in business life
means something quite different from
slandering or otherwise attempting to
pull down the other fellow. Every
business man who treats his custom
ers honestly and courteously will get
his share. In other words, organize
ton and a pull all together are what
counts in building a town as they do
In individual business. The concern
where there is not harmony of action
among the partners will not prosper.
The city where there is lack of organ
lied effort, where individual citizens
abuse their town and exalt others,
creating the impression that their own
is a bad one, will not progress
Exchange.

Cowardice, or Libel.

AS a result of the friction between
Major General Otis and Gen. Hale,
the latter officer has resigned his COM
mission and started from the Philip
pines on his return home. An IN
fortunate occurrence this, for the
facts regarding the charges OF cow
ardice by General Hale against his
superior officer are well known to the
soldiers in the Philippines, and those
same soldiers generally agree that
General Hale was correct. These
facts are unfortunate in that such
charges and a belief of their truth
fitness has a demoralizing effect upon
good discipline.
Cowardice is a crime second Ia
enormity only to treason, to which 1t
too often leads in the army. The
failure of General Otis to deny the
charge of cowardice forces the con-
clusion of his tacitly admitting its
truthfulness. If Gen. Hale did really
charge his superior officer with cow
ardice, which is permissible if true,
General Otis should either resign Oh
prove his innocence and force his &C.
cuser to resign. The burden of prov
ing his charges to be true is upon the
subordinate officer and must be sus.
tanned beyond possible doubt else thu
accuser suffers.
General Otis can not claim immu
nifty from defending his honor agains
charges of treason brought by Gen
Hale for his ccuse is a soldier,
brave and efficient officer and a gen
tleman. Some one is guilty; Otis 0
cowardice, or Hale of libel.-Sun
