THE IDEAL SOLDIER.

It will not hurt the feelings of the American people to learn from recent dispatches to London newspaper that the European troops in China felt great relief at the withdrawal of the Ameri- can forces, the latter. 1t is stated. being too free and easy in their ways to con- form to the military etiquette of the old world fighting men.
 Neither did amy one believe that there should be a strlcter discipline in the American army, martinet rule which would make of our soldiers the things of pipe clay and goose-step to which European enlisted men have been reduced. The American soldier has all the discipline necessary to good campaigning and superb fighting. He will obey his superior officers to the death. The more perilous the position unswerving faithfulness.
 And, thanks to the fact that the American soldier is not drilled and brow-beaten into uniform machine, he is capable of thinking for himself on occasions In the event of heavy loss of officers in action our troops do not become like flock of panic stricken sheep, which is the condition reached by European soldiers in such con tingency. American enlisted men have an initiative and individual aggress- iveness, which prevents this demorali- zation. They fight with personal in- telligence. Their non- n-commissioned of- flcers take the places of the commits stoned officers who may be killed in a hot fight. Their enlisted men in the ranks rise to the demands of the crisis. They fight their way out, instead of surrendering because they are officer less
 The American soldier is free and easy soldier but the world hasn't his equal as a good soldier. Let's be con- tent with him, allowing Europe to make automata out of her fighting material Good. scrappy. alert, self respecting men make the ideal soldier. And that's the sort of man the American soldier Is allowed to remain, no matter how long he may serve old Glory in the Creek Times Citizen.

scRIBNER's FOR JUNE.

.Scribners for June presents a broad and interesting filed for selection. The articles. on Russia of Today" by Henry Norman. which have been a feature (but have been interrupted for several numbers). are resumed in the June number with a paper on Fin land" which Is just now the center of interest on account of the efforts of the Russian government to suppress the Finnish language in official business. Mir. Norman writes very sympathetic ally of his hardy people who have so long maintained their individuality while part of the Russian empire. He gives remarkable instances of their energy and integrity. and shows the pathos of their attempt to keep their Identity against heavy odds.
 By way of contrast to these people of the north is John La Farge's account of his visit to the Samoans--the people among whom Stevenson found his adopted home. Mir La Farge describes and pictures them as an artist with rare poetic faculty of narrative. Many of the illustrations are from sketches made at the time.
 Walter A. Wyckoff in this number deals with happy episode in his career as workingman. He tells of the life of section-hand on the Union Pacific railroad. and gives a vivid account of the manly qualities of the men he labored with. All of Mir. Wyckoff's ex- periences lead him to be an optimist in regard to the American laborer.
 These are only three of long cata- logue of interesting subjects handled in an interesting manner.

COLLEGE TRAINING.

Under the caption. College Trained Men and Women" President Hadley of Yale writes in Success for June: There is at present an unusual call for col lege-bred men in the various trades, and professions-a demand so great that we are hardly able to meet it. This is a thing which always happens in years of commercial expansion. If We compare the times of prosperity with thoa, of depression, we find that the variation in the value of invested capital is greater than the variation in the value of current product. A college bred man has invested anywhere from two thou 7ard to ten thousand dollars in himself. The value of that investment follows nearly the same laws as the value of a steamboat or a furnace. When there is an exceptional demand for service, he Is the one who feels it's benefits most fully. When there Is no special demand, and when everybody is striving simply to pay current expenses. he finds it inn possible to make interest on the invest- nent. unless possessed of special quali- fications as a man."

He does not be- lieve that any harm is done by a con- test of physical skill. and he says he would be very sorry to see the world made up of people who took no nor strenuous kind of exercise than walk ing up and down the Lake Shore drive, Fifth avenue or Piccadilly."

PHOENIX. ARIZONA, MAY 24, 1901.

The catalogue house is something to be avoided by those who want to be
 sure of getting their THE moneys worth. It is CATALOGUE safer to trust the local HOUSES. dealer always. though
 his offerings may not be SO alluring Every spring. Phoenix. as we'll as every other small town in the United States, Is flooded with cata- logues issued by two Chicago houses. These catalogues are expensive affairs and include almost every article needed for human use or ornamentation. The guaranty as to quality is general and naturally worthless. though we believe it is usually made good to the extent of wearing out the patience of the cus- toner disposed to kick.
 It is fact that these houses have no trade al h6hfs ahd' do not want any. They would prefer a customer in Phoenix to one in Chicago. The greater the distance the greater the desirabll
 
 largely on human nature. In the first place. the goods handled by them are cheap in quality as they are in price. They sell customer a suit of clothes. a bicycle or buggy at price which gives rise to suspicion that the regular dealers in these kinds of merchandise are robbers. The article arrives and the customer Is disappointed. It is not what the picture and description led him to expect. Still there is so much of a similarity that he has no good ground to stand on and kick. Beside. he is protected by the guaranty. Tn a few days he discovers a fatal defect and he writes to the house about it. The defect is admitted. an explana- tion Is offered and the article is re- placed with another. no better than the original. The catalogue house fig- ures in the first place that not one customer in a thousand will, kick when he is disappointed. and not one in ten thousand will kick the second time. It also figures with great correctness that an exceedingly small percentage of it's customers will go around and tell their neighbors how they have been made monkeys of. On the contrary 1t Is estimated that the disappointed cus- tomer will bleed inwardiy. That's human nature. If he lived near the catalogue house he would call around and have it out with somebody. But living in the Salt River valley. a great distance from Chicago. he finds 1t more profitable and satisfying to curse to himself.

O'Brlen Moore Is at the bat now, and John H. Behan. who has enjoyed two
 weeks of promi- MIR. hence as the zen MOORE eral manager of the REHABrLITATED Tucson Citizen. has
 gone into that ob- scurity whence Brother Moore has just emerged. His name has been re- moved from the Citizens masthead to make room for that of MT. Moore. which was so rudely torn down a half month ago.
 The rehabilitated editor seems to have lost track of time during his re- cent vacation. for he caused the first Issue under his restored management. last Wednesday. to be dated May 27.
 The most useful thing we have learned from the late transitions of the Citizen is that Mir. Moore's style of Journalism is at variance with that of MT. Behan. The former ran largely to editorials. which he served in double column doses. Mir. Behan restored the old-fashioned single column and made 1t as brief and abrupt as possible, deal Ing with affairs In general. Mir. Moore has expanded and heightened the col umn to more than its original area. The war upon the national administra- tion. interrupted by the brief discon- nection of MT.
