a COSTLY PRIVILEGED CLASS.


IL we are going regularly into the bus-
ness Of maintaining a large standing
army We ought to make the burden as
light as possible. The high salaries now
paid to the commissioned officers are not
only grossly disproporuoned TO the pay
OF the enlisted men, but are on an av-
erage largely In excess OF the general
average Of salaries even Of employees oc-
cupying responsible positions in all other
limos of business throughout the country.
And II must be remembered, too, that
the regular army officer does not need
10 make provision for old age out Of his
salary, for he is retired at a certain age
or for disabilities, on three fourths his
regular pay. Nor Is his position in
jeopardy at any time Il nc does his duty
and conducts himself as an officer and
a gentleman.
The pay Of our officers IS more than
double that OF the officers Of European
armies. 1t is interesting to read that
the French military estimates for in
creasiug the pay of captains in the army
after July |. 1901, will give . captain OF
less than fve years service salary OF
800 per annum. Those who remain in
that rank Tor twelve years will receive
$1,000 year! Oyergenerous Uncle Sam
gives his captains from $500 to $1,000 a
year and after ten years service from
$3.50 to s2iO0. In all the other
ranks the american officer enjoys fully
twice tho salary OF the officer Of the
same rank IN the continental army.
It was reported tine other day that the
reorganization of the army would neces
state the appointment of about 1000 ad
ditional officers. They will cost the
government easily an average Of S25OC
year. or. as whole. s5,000,0O0. They
viii not be needed, possibly, in war OF
peace, for twenty years after the pool
Fiiipinos have been conquered. And ye
for all that time the country will bC
called upon TO support this privileged
and pampered class at double the ex.
pense professional soldiers are hired fol
abroad.
Possibly the greatest extravaganza
however. amounting actually to an abuse,
:" 'AN P''Ss VI P4pu"GHs an oiucer 70
the next highest grade for the purpose
of retiring him, or just on the eve OF
his retirement. This virtually gives him
the full pay Of his lower and proper
grade Tor the remainder OF his life in
stead of bhree-fourths pay.
II Is possible 10 obtain privileged
class supported by the government at
much less cost in this country than We
are now paying and without any loss OF
taieni. IT, therefore. We must ape Eu-
rope in the military business congress
should insist upon closer approxima
ton TO European pay for the professional
'commissioned" soldier, at least. In the
course Of decade the Nation would save
an immense amount OF money.

How they make out hearts careen:
Long and lissome, 1.-THE and graceful
CARRIED in fashions sweetest dream;
How they glide or pose before us,
Tailor made and quite serene,
Or Just pose in undergarmeuts
AND an absen minded mien---
Corsets, union suits and garters,
Things we've dreamed of, never seen
Truly in her selfpossesslon
She is something more than queen;
And AS she displays before us
CARDS of wondrous shades and sheens
We Just grow to love the "ad" page

AN OBJECTIONABLE POLICY.

Several years ago before the cotton
mill movement had gotten under head
way in Texas and when 81 looked as II
we would never be able to interest our
people W. such an industrial awakening,
1t was suggested that the state in its
penitentiarles undertake the business OF
cotton manufacturing
Nothing came OF such talk a the time.
but The Post then antagonized the idea
for reasons that are obvious Now. how
ever this matter IS again being agitated.
although the objections to such a policy
by tho state are greater at this time than
they were even year ago. The citizens
Of Texas have been putting their own
money into cotton manufacturing enter
prises recently and the movement is
spreading over the State The compeu-
lion which the Texas mills Will have
to contend against in the business world
win be trying enough upon thcm in their
infancy without adding TO thoir enbar-
rassments by utilizing the convict labor
of the state in additional competlt ion
with them
The state has been engaged in the fur
niture Misunderstanding business aud the
fact has undoubtedly prevented the null
tipiicatlon OF furniture factories in those
portions OF the State where the condl-
lions would seem naturally to invite
such enterprises. It is question IL the
States furnaces have not retarded the
development OF our East Texas iron
fields. And like results can be antici-
pAted In any line Of Industrial effort
where the state sith It's peculiar facili-
ties and It's largo forces Of convict labor
entcrs the field as an active competitors
against the capital and enterprise OF Its
citizens,
The states sugar farms are not hurt
full to free labor. The dcmand FOR sugar
IS far in excess Of he home supply and
the States operations in such Aeld
could no; affect the price either at home
or abroad. The cl aracter OF labor is dif.
terent. also, nor would the state's ON
baIkltIon In such business discourage
private capital from entering the same
field.
But the broad proposition can be safe
J laid down. now. that as Texas through
her own private capital engages moro
extensively IN Industrial development
the State as such should retire from that
fleld. rather than, as now suggested,
branch out into new lines.
