THE POWERFUL INFLUENCES
BEHIND CAPTAIN CARTER

made it plain that Carriers conviction
was inevitable. There was clear case
against him. 1t was the second time in
the history of the engineer corps that
any of its members had been accused of
peculation or fraud and it is hard to
blame the members of the corps for
their actions under the circumstances.
But although there were several engi-
neer officers on the court martial the
verdict of guilty against Carter was
unanimous. Then began a fight The
contractors, who were Carriers associ-
ates in the big theft, were and are in
fluential politicians in New York. They
are identified with both parties. One
of the members of the contracting firm,
Colonel John ]. Gainor, was treasurer
of the New York democratic state COM
mittee. Another of the contractors,
named Green, is a business partner of
Senator Plat of New York, and very
influential in republican politics. The
result is that Carter's friends have
been able to hold the hands of the
president up to this time. Perhaps the
most influential person in staving off
action in the case is a man now dead.
the late Frank Thompson, president of
the Pennsylvania Railroad company.
Thompson and President Mckinley had
been devoted personal friends for 20
years. Carter has been a widower for
10 years or more. and some time before
he was accused Of fraud he became en-
gagged to marry Mr.. Thompson's niece.
She died soon after Carter's trial, and
on her death bed requested her uncle
to use his influence with the president
to save Carter. Up to the time of his
death Mr.. Thompson was indefatigable
in pleading with the president and
bringing other potent influences to
plead with him to save the disgraced
officer. This is the reason why the Car
ter case hangs fire.
Carter was born near Gallipolis, in
Ohio. His people were very poor. In
the south they would be called poor
whites. While Carter was engaged in
peculating from the government he did
not forget the poverty of those he left
at home. On Christmas day, 1894, he
sent his mother a check for $4,000.
This was an atom of the circumsan-
tial evidence brought out against him
during his trial. Carter lives at the
Columbia Athletic club, in New York,
in great luxury. He is high liver. He
has evidently plenty of money. His
old associates, the contractors, are
standing behind him with great loyalty.
The line officers of the army are indig-
nant because Carter has not been made
to serve the sentence of the court. They
feel that the honor of the army Is in
volved, and that the punishment of the
disgraced officer should be swift and
severe. In the meantime Carter con-
tinues to live at rate of $4,000 a year
in New York, and does not seem to
suffer to any great extent socially.

of merely holding a naval station, and
giving the natives a government of
their own under the protection of the
American flag.
But Mr.. Mckinley at once gave the
treaty his own Interpretation, which
was that it vested the sovereignty
completely in the United States, and
that the islands were ours by right of
conquest and purchase. As a result
we have a war of no mean proportions,
involving great sacrifice of life, expend-
iture of money, and with the end no
where in sight. Whatever may be said
with regard to the wisdom in general
of the rule under consideration, it can
scarcely be denied that in this case the
negotiation of a treaty by the presi-
dent without the advice of the senate
until it had been agreed to by the pres
ident's commissioners, has led to con-
dition that might easily have been
avoided, and one that is greatly to be
deplored. 1t also suggests the wisdom
of allowing amendments to a treaty
while it is under consideration in the
senate

Z n the July Forum appears an article
by TruXtOn Beale in which he en-
deavors TO meet the objections to
our attempted colonization in the trop-
ics by showing that such colonization
is possible. His argument is, in brief,
that the advance of science is all the
time increasing our ability to overcome
climatic disadvantages, and he partic-
ularly mentions the improvements in
mechanical science by which physical
labors are lightened. scientific methods
whereby artificial climates are created,
reforms in dress and medical discov-
cries through which diseases may be
warded off or successfully treated
when they do appear.
Up to a certain point Mr.. Beale's de-
dueti0us are entitled to much consid-

Captain Carter was placed in charge
of the harbor improvement at Savan-
nah, Ga, more than dozen years ago.
syndicate of New York contractors
was formed to prosecute the work. Car
ter remained in charge for about eight
years, and was then appointed military
attache at London. His successor in
charge of the work a Savannah harbor,
Capt. Gillespie, a relative of the late
James G. Blaine, soon found that
everything was not right. He made
frequent reports to the chief of his
corps. AT last things appeared so red
olent of fraud that Captain Gillespie
took means of giving publicity to his
discoveries. At this time the chiefs
of the engineer cvorps were trying to
smother the evidence of Carter's al
legged wrongdoing. In the meantime
Carter was recalled from London.
When he reached Washington there
was a conference of officers of the
engineer corps, and it soon became
evident that the members of the corps
were doing everything in their power
to protect Carter. Major Jasper N.
Morrison of the judge advocates corps
had been designated by the judge advo-
cate general to examine the allegations
against Carter, and Major Morrison
had become convinced of Carter's guilt
and had prepared charges and specifi-
cations against him. At this crisis Sec
rotary Alger was induced to take the un-
usual and very questionable course of
sending the charges to Major George
r. Davis, the professor of law at West
Point, for review. The officers of the
judge advocates department recognized
that this was a palpable attempt to
smother the charges and whitewash
Carter, and there We're protests made
against the action of the secretary of
war. In due time ajor Davis reported.
He held Carter guilty of ''indjscre-
tons" and suggested that he should be
'reprimanded" by the secretary of war.
This was very unusual recommended
ton for a professor of law to make, but
he was dealing with desperate case,
and was known to be under the influ-
ence of the engineer corps. But there
was too much smoke and the fire could
not be concealed. When congress con-
vened resolution was offered in the
house calling on the secretary of war
for information on the Carter case.
Then Mr. Alger took fright and referred
all the papers and all the reports in the
Carter case to the judge advocate gen.
eral. When this was done the resolu-
ton offered in the house was not
pressed. In due time Carter was
brought to trial. The engineer corps
stood by him all during the trial, and
subjected Captain Gillespie, the princi-
pal witness against Carter, almost to
corps ostracism.
The evidence taken during the trial

Grafton. There Is no doubt that a great
deal may be accomplished along the
progressive scientific lines to which he
gument in favor of immediate expan-
sion into the tropics, and upon an ex-
tended scale, he falls long way short
of making his case.
1t takes time to perfect the methods
and improvements that he specifies
The work of adjusting race to radi-
cally different climatic conditions is
slow one. 1t Is not accomplished by
jumping over thirty or forty degrees of
latitude at a single bound, but rather
by gradual and easy stages. 1t may
be true that we could plant colonies
Tar into the tropics and sustain them
with fair measure of success. But
1t is clear that it would require I'M
usual exertions and involve great sac
rifices of life in its accomplishment.
The real question is not Can we do
1t, but will it pay? Is it worth the
effort, when there are millions of
square miles in the temperate or only
semi-tropical regions still open to set
tlement? Such a question as this can
not be fairly considered in the abstract
IL must be viewed in the light of ex-
listing conditions. Granting the posi-
pility under some circumstances, how
STANDS the matter as it actually pre-
sents itself as an issue?
1t Is one thing for a northern race
to gradually advance into an uninhab-
tied tropical region; it is quite another
LOT that same race to suddenly Jump
two thousand miles to the south and
into country already densely peopled
by races thoroughly iuured to the eli
mate.
The present argument in favor of
holding the Philippines proceeds upon
the theory that the United States is
pent-up Utica" in which the people
scarcely have standing room and that
we must get into those remote islands
in order to have a chance to spread out.
The truth is, however, that we have
only about twenty persons to the
square mile, while in the islands to
which we are going to find elbow room
''iSiS "iS diicdu Sixty. instead our
people going there in any considerable
numbers, the Filipinos would be much
more likely to come here,
Mr.. Besle comedies that England has
accomplished nothing in the way of
coionizing India, the only Englishmen
there being few officials and a small
number temporarily engaged in com
mercial enterprises. He meets this by
saying that it has never yet been nee
essary for England to attempt the gem
eral colonization of the country. True,
and here he virtually surrenders the
case. If England, with five hundred
people to the square mile, has not found
it necessary to attempt the colonizati ton
of India, wherein lies the necessity for
the United States, with. only twenty to
the square mile, to cross seven thou
sand miles of stormy sea to colonize a
few islands that already have sixty?

G. G. Goodwin.
TT will be long ere the visit of Judge
C. C. Goodwin to the city of Ana
conda will be forgotten

1T will be long ere the visit of Judge
conda will be forgotten.
By the members of the Montana Press
association he was received as the
Nestor of the inter-mountain press.
Whether they knew him well, had met
him casually, or not at all, his name
was familiar to them, and he was well
coined as an elder brother in the craft.
For a third of a century the judge
has been a conspicuous figure on the
Pacific slope. Beginning as lawyer,
prominent in politics, he drifted into
journalism, and beneath the shadow of
Mount Davidson, while the Comstock
was still in its glory, as editor Of the
Territorial Enterprise, the foundations
of his fame were laid. In the lovely
valley of the Great Salt Lake, that
fame grew and ripened until it be-
came national in the broadest sense.
Everywhere throughout the land the
Salt Lake Tribune is recognized as one
and it is the intellect of C. C. Goodwin
that has made it what it is.
But great as his intellect undoubtedly
is. his fame rests not upon that alone.
1t finds a harmonious setting-a beau
tiful rounding out in the true and noble
characteristic great, generous heart
that beats in his bosom. His acts of
kindly, self-sacrifice, to friends and
strangers alike, have been as number
less as the sands of the seashore." 1t
may be a pleasure to those who know
him only as a brilliant writer, and who
had the good fortune to listen to his
speech in the Margaret theater on
Tuesday evening, to be assured that the
elevated thoughts he so touchingly and
beautifully uttered are a faithful index
of his disposition and his character.
In the state of Montana there are
many who know him well, and those
who have known him the longest love
him the most. Old friends and new
ones have united in extending to him
the glad hand of welcome. They bid
him farewell with a new or renewed
affection and as he speeds on his way
to his more southern home, their hearts
travel the same road, and their prayers
are that his future may be bright with
all the good fortune and happiness that
the world can bring.
