Take the first and fundamental
one, The American Constitution
is violated both in the letter and

ing the work Of the Filipino army

and penned up the last OF the
Spanish troops in Manila, has cul-

gruous with the highfalutin tall

is, that it is much more a personal

position starts with prejudices that.

GEN. WOODS FORTY INCH STRIDE

When Leonard Wood was a student at Harvard his name was intimately connected with college athletics of ali sorts. but principally with running and walking. Big, raw-boned and 1.-the, he resembled in his poses an In- dian untrammeled by civilization or civilizations clothes. The free and easy swing of his gait in those early formation days at college has never left him. Out on the plains in the '90s. when his military yearnings led him to forsake his official duties-those of an army surge0n-for the dangers and fascination of a volunteer scout. the tireless energy won by athletic train ing stood him in good stead. The young army doctor, even at that early period of his career, became famous for his long and powerful stride. This fame followed him to San Juan. and when in aftzr days he added leaves to his wreath of glory by retaining Sansi- ago from it's degredatiOn and filth, ha became known to the wondering Gu bans as "the man with the iron stride Gen. Woods ordinary stride is forty inches-two inches longer than the regulation step-and it is said that he can cover more ground in a day than any other man in the army.-St. Louis Star,

to new lands at the expense of the all ready settled portions of the valley. He was asked to say what objection there could be to The Republicans plan up to the point where the capitalists would be obliged to outline their position on this important point. He acknowledged that there could be none. We have hope that he will yet be an advocate of this scheme.
 To The Republican it appears ridicu- lous to assume, in face of the history of irrigation in the west, that a reservoir company would begin operations with out first having adjusted all questions that might be productive of trouble. The Republican would be the first to condemn any arrangement that lief. any loophole for stock jobbing or the diversion of the water from the lands which are entitled to it. Irri- gation companies that have taken advantage of the communities in which they have oparated have always come to grief and always will. The Republican simply asks the people of this valley to stand by this movement until its strength or weak ness can be developed. It is reasonable to assume that the capitalists con- cerned will make a statement of their position as soon as they see the people are becoming interested.
 There are other storage projects than that of the Hudson reservoir and some of them are being advocated now. It son that only one should be urged at a time. The success of any one would mean the success of every other that possesses merit. Let there be no knocking Let's all pull together and see if something cannot be &C., complished. If the plan under consid- eration comes to nothing The Republi- can will be glad to take up any other that looks hopeful. This valley must have water storage soon or it will ret rograde rapidly. We have lost a mil lion dollars this year by the drouth. How much longer can We stand such a drain upon our resources? It is time for united action.

The army was in motion and the road so frequently crowded with troops as to render it necessary for us to make a de- tour to one side, and as we were dash ing through field of oats I observed a fat old farmer, with flaming coun- tenance, making his way from the house to the roadside to intercept us. As we rode up he opened the vials of his wrath and rated us r3undly for 'a-ridin' through his oats. The gen eral mildly replied that he regretted the necessity for riding through the field but that the road was blocked with soldiers, and it was important for us to reach the front.

It is profitable work for them and the results are novel For instance, half dozen young women will each take fifteen or twenty sets of some book worthy of special treatment and bind them according to their own tastes. When finished the volume sells for Sl5 or $2O. This farming out of books to different binders and permit ting them to use their ingenuity in de- signing covers is comparatively new One of its advantages is the fact that a purchaser of d handsome special edi- tton may be assured that only limited number of duplicates of it have been issued.
