Me should not defer day longer than neoes- sary the construction of such cable.

The Merit System.

The president indorses the merit system ot making appointments and says 1t is important to have this system obtain at home, but 1t is even more important 10 have it applied rigidly in our insular possessions.

The Monroe Doctrine.

The Monroe doctrine should be the cardinal fca. ture of the foreign policy of all the nations of the two Americas, as it is of the United States. The Monroe doctrine is a declaration that there must be territorial aggrandizement by any non American power at the expense of any Ameri- can power on American soil. It is in noxise in. tended hostile to any nation in the old world. Still less Is t intended to give cover to any az gression by one new world power at the expense of any other. lt is simply step, and a long step, toward assuring the universal peace of the world by securing the possibility of permanent peace this hemisphere.
 The president says that 1t is not necessary to increase our army beyond its present size at this point of efficiency.
 A general staf should be created. Promotions should be made solely with regard to the good of the service. Congress ought to provide. the president adds. for field exercises.
 Action should be taken in reference to the mill. tia and to the raising of volunteer forces The organization and armament of the national guard of the several states, which are treated militia in the appropriations by the congress. should be made identical with thS-- provided for the regular forces. The obligations and duties of tho guard in time Of war should be carefully defined and a system established by law under which the method of procedure of raising volunteer forces should be prescribed in advance.<
 The president devotes considerable space to the navy. the upbuilding of which. he says, should be steadily continued. The navy offers us, II IS de- clared, the only means of insisting on the Monroe doctrine, and strong navy is the best guarantee against war. He recommends that provision be made not only for more ships but for more men. Four thousand additional seamen and 1000 addi- tional marines should be provided. as well as an increase in officers. After indorsing the naval militia the president says that in addition we should at once provide for s national naval re- serve, organized and trained under the direction of the navy department and subject 10 the call of the chief executive whenever becomes i'm minent

Missouri at the Pan-American
Exposition.

The finest early apples exhibited at
the Pan American Exposition came in
from Missouri and were put on exhibi-
ton July s. The variety Is the "Early
Harvest" well known and delicious
summer apple of the Mississippi valley.
The shipment came from southern
Missouri and is made from the earliest
products of one Of the finest apple
belts OF the union.
AT the Pan-American exposition the
automobile is shown IN all OF its
various details, comprising q greater
range OF class, style. design, utility
and finish, than any other vehicle or
mode of locomotion. The general
plan of the exposition is to show the
steady advancement along mechanical
lines, step BY step in the development
of industrial improvement. Useful
articles are shown in a manner to rep
resent this growth from the crude i'm
perfect tools or utensils of our grand
fathers time, down through the many
different stages in the line Of progress
to the present utllitarlan product.
Missourl's exhibit in the mines
building is an instructive illustration of
the mineral resources of the state.
Zinc and lead comprise the most prom.
inent features of the exhibit. A full
line Of the ores just as they came out
OF the ground is shown. The minerals
are also shown in different stages of

preparation for commercial uses. Pigs
Of lead ready for shipment are piled
up on one side Of the entrance to the
exhibit and lead and zinc in other
commercial forms sre shown. Various
crystalizations of South Missouri min
erals, including calcite, dolomiIe'
galena dead and barte occupy one
case, and rare aud extremely hne
collection of crysIalizatious of zinc
occupies another and attracts much
attention. Granite building blocks
said 10 be equal II not superior to the
Scotch granite are shown. Kaolin
from which china ware is made is
shown with the ware made from IL.
A large disc Of tripoli from which
gravity filters are made is an inter-
esting exhibit. Many samples of lead
ores hom Joplin, southwest Missouri,
are exhibited. Another interesting
exhibit from the same place consists of
white lead, caught from the fumes Of a
lead furnace. This lead is ground
with oil and made into paint. Joplin
Is the only place except Bristol,
England, in which this process of
utilizing the lead fumes is in vogue.
In a portico of the mines building
Missouri has an exhibit consisting of a
fifteen hundred pound specimen of
zinc and several others weighing in
the vicinity of 1000 pounds. At least

Cobb's Baggage Returns.

Kansas City Times
Thomas M. Cobb, father of Lieu
tenant Tom Cobb, the brave soldier
whose body was brought home for
burial several weeks ago, has received
some of the baggage his son had while
with his regiment. The effects re-
turned include 8 trunk and box Of
relics, the latter containing two guns.
OF the soldiers personal property the
members of the family have the army
blankets, two swords, one OF which
was presented by the Kansas City
Times employees, and other valued
articles.
Another sword, a medal that was
awarded to Lieutenant Cobb. and other
effects are in Honolulu in the hands of
the qualtermaster. They will be for
warded. One suit of clothes has also
been saved. The other garments were
destroyed, Mr.. Cobb has received
letters from the nurse who attended
Lieutenant Cobb while he was In the
hospital, and these set at rest the re-
ports that the young man did not re-
ceive proper attention while in the hos
pital. Information to the same effect
has also been received from one of the
army surgeons. Cobb had malarlal
fever with the smallpox, and the fever,
it is believed, prevented his recovery.
The nurse says that just before his
death the young lieutenant talked
nationally, gave her his home address
and was a most patient suffer. She
sang to him and Cobb, as long as he
had strength, joined with her In the
songs. When be grew two weak for
