The pledge of the West Point cadets
to henceforth and forever abstain from
the cruel and foolish habit Of hazing
may go far toward mitigating the rigor
Of the disciplinary measures that con-
gress would otherwise have instituted
tor it's immediate suppression. It is
commendable of the young men at the
National Military academy that this
pledge was voluntarily made, and there
Is a very general belief that it will be
kept. One Of the traditions of the
academy is the sacredness of a pledge.
and there is little doubt that so far as
the four classes now in the institution
are concerned the practice has been
abandoned. This is all very well as far
as it goes. It does not, however, re-
HeVe congress from the duty of enact
Ing such legislation as shall prevent
any recurrence in the future of the dis
graceful practices of the past. If the
cadets desire on their own motion to
demean themselves as gentlemen and
not as DULLES, all we'll and good, but it
is entirely proper that they should be
made to understand they are not the
controlling body Of the United States
Military academy. Before leaving this
hazing job congress ought to make it
perfectly understood that the laws and
regulations for West Point are made at
the national capital and not in the ca
Diet barracks and that these laws and
regulations must be respected.

Extract from a personal letter:
"No one away from Kansas can
quite understand the conditions
here. No newspaper gives fair
statement. They seem to be try
ing to quiet things and keep the
people from action. It is surpris-
ing and pleasing to see how this
agitation has made outspoken
temperance men out of many who
had always been careful to take no
sides and ignore the violation 20
the prohibitory law. Our leglsla-
ture has-passed more radical laws
Which will greatly help law en-
forcement.'
The jury IN the case of Mrs.
Nation failed to agree, David Ma
ton and another lawyer, Ed Sam
pie Of Medicine Lodge, advised
her to take the course she did in
''smashing'' saloons, telling her
that saloons were outside the part
of the law and could be abated in
any manner any individual may
choose.
For selling liquor on Sunday,
a saloonist of Moorhead, Mimi,

The correspondent of a Chicago

THANKS TO THE COMMITTEE.
At the annual meeting of the
department of superintendent of
National Educational association,
held in Chicago the last week in
February, our readers will remem-
Der that the committee appointed
last year to investigate scientific
temperance teaching in the public
schools reported favorably and
that the report was unanimously
adopted. The National w. G. T.
U. expressed it's thanks in the fol-
lowing letter: 49,
To superintendent Albert G..
Lane and other members of the
committee of seven on the teach
ing of physiology. and hygiene in
the public schools: :.
Gentlemen: We desire to ex-.
press our hearty appreciation of
your report on February 28th to
the superintendent of the National
Educational association. Some
anxiety had been felt by the friends
OF scientific temperance education
as to the impression left upon the
superintendent by the address
delivered last year before them by
Prof Atwater. This apprehen-
Esions has largely been dispelled.

The Presidents Tour.


Up to the time Mrs. Mckinley was
taken dangerously i'll in San Francisco
there had been no untoward incident
to mar President McKinley's trans
continental tour, which was in many
respects one Of the most remarkable
Journeys ever taken by the chief exec
zutiye of the nation, though brought I'M
sexpectedly to an end ere it was half
completed. -
From the time Of the departure from
the national capital until the tour was
Drought to an untimely ending in the
metropolis Of the Pacific coast the pres
ident had been welcomed with unfail-
Ing courtesy and unbounded hospitali-
IT,. Immense throngs have everywhere
greeted and cheered him, not as an indi-
Vidual or as the representative of any
particular set of political principles, but
as the chosen head of a sovereign peo-
pie. In all the thousands of miles of
travel and in the greetings of all the
millions Of people no word Of insult has
been spoken and not Ne slightest YES
tige of i'll feeling exhibited. In the early
stages Of the trip the presidents route
lay through communities once bitterly
hostile to the ideas he represents and
still mainly opposed to him in essential
matters of public policy, but the well
come he received could not have been
more cordial or sincere He has made
series of happy, tactful speeches,
which have everywhere been we'll re-
ceived, and, though he has occasionally
touched upon political matters, his ut
terances have been accepted even by:
those differing with him with charac-
terlstic American good humor. He has
mingled with the people and been treat
ed as one of them.
Viewed in comparison with the
''tours' that have been made by the
rulers of European countries the trip
Of President Mckinley across this vast
continent might be regarded as some
thing quite miraculous. But we do not
need to measure it by European stand
ards. The American executive has gone
on his way through the country abso-
lutely without physical protection, and
indeed there was no reason why he
should be "hedged about by the min
ions Of the law" That the president
should be wholly free from insult or
physical harm from the people who
met to greet him was no more than
might reasonably be expected in such
a government as ours, but the trip has
given the nation and the world an
other concrete demonstration of the
deep, underlying popular respect for
the eEce OF the president of the United
States, an office greater in honor than
that of the most exalted hereditary
ruler in the world and equal in prestige
to it. It likewise demonstrates that we
have the faculty, lacking in all other
peoples, Of forgetting ourdfferences and
burying our rancors without surren. r.
ing our convictions and honoring our
chief executive regardless of the d.
vergency of opinion as to the line of
political policy he represents. 1t is
not Improbable that the lesson of ma
tional unity and strength taught by the
presidents tour should now and then
be impressed upon US.

Betsey. The international Gun.

Although the concert of the powers
has shown almost as many phases as
a kaleidoscope, perhaps no combina-
tions outvied "Betsey, the Information
al Gun" or The Concerted Bucket
Brigade" within the legation COM
pounds during the Pekin siege. An
Italian one-pound cannon had been
the defenders largest gun, and the
American gunner was far from con-
tent. One day some friendly Chinese
dragged in an old three-pound cannon
made in England half century ago,
which had been used by Chinese"
Gordon's troops, and had since lain
in junk-shop. The American gunner
and an English armorer furnished it
up, mounted it on a pair of Italian
wheels, loaded it with Chinese powder
and pewter balls cast from Chinese
candlesticks, breech-loading Russian
shells filed down and fitted with a fuse,
and rusty nails of cosmopolitan man
ufacture. Betsey's sudden outburst
disconnected the besiegers, and con-
tributed materially to the good spirits
of the besieged, although, as one Of
them remarked, Betsey's "sightless"
condition rendered her destructive
powers uncertain. A more Concert
ed Bucket Brigade" than that of Pekin
probably never fought fire. IF they
were not missionaries and ambassa-
doris and women" commented Chi
nese, what a splendid fire depart
ment they would make!" Greek and
Roman Catholic priests and nuns,
British and American missionaries,
members of every legation, delicately
reared women. Chinese of all classes,
passed the buckets. And what buckets!
Kerosene-cans, water-pitchers, slop-
jars, footballs and grand array OF
cooking-utensiis- that would
hold water was pressed into service.
With such utensils the gallant inter-
national brigade again and again
quenched the fierce fires kindled to
burn them out. There is no virtue
like necessity to give unity to life
and effort.-Youths' Companion.

Entering west Point Academy.

Every one knows in a general way
what kind of a school the United States
Military Academy at West Point is.
1t is special school for war estab
lished by the government in 1902, for
the training of candidates for commits
sions in the army. At the beginning
there were ten cadets. After the in
glorious war of 1912, in which the
need of trained officers was sorely
felt, congress reorganized the Mill
tary academy and maximum of $50
cadets was authorized. Since 1S43 the
cadets have been appointed one from
each congress district, one from each
territory. one from the District of
Columbia and ten Eat large" In 1900,
as a consequence of the new require
ments of the country the academy was
enlarged and now consists of one cadet
from each congress district appointed
on the recommendation of the con-
gresham, one from each territory, one
from the District of Columbia. two
from each state at large, appointed on
the recommendations of its two
senators, and thirty from the United
States "at large" Under the last ap-
portionment the maximum number of
cadets is thus 511. With the excep-
ton of thirty cadets lat large" each
member of the school must be an ac-
tual resident of the district from which
he is appointed This ensures a fair
and even representation of the whole
country in the army. Our army rests
on a democratic basis. When the
candidate presents himself at West
Point he is subjected to a rigid physi-
cal examination and must pass a
searching mental examination also in
reading, wrlcing Doli0g, arithmetic,

DIsbandIng a Great Army.

An important event in the history
of the United States was the sailing
from Manila of the transport Kilpat-
rick with the 80 officers and the lob
mel of the Forty-third Regiment,
United States Volunteer Infantry, in
time to enable the war department to
carry out the provisions of the law
which called for the mastering out of
all volunteer troops by June 80, 1901.
This was the last regiment to be dis
banded. BY act of March 2, 1899 the
army was recognized on the basis of
$4,000 enlisted men and $4,000 volun-
teers, volunteer service being for a
term of two years and four months,
or until July l, 1901. There was no
trouble in getting enough men. The
enlistments showed what has been
claimed by our sanest patriots, that
when the nation needs help it can OBJ
tain all it wants for the asking. The
American soldier is the best treated,
the best paid. the best fed of any fight
ers the world has ever known. The
consequence is a higher standard of
intelligence, conduct and efficiency
than in any other army. Whatever
may be the fears of other peoples the
United States is able to take care of
itself for it has been calculated by
political economists that if necessity
should arise this country could arm,
equip and keep in the field 100000
soldiers The volunteer force of 1000.
which is now no more, was nearly
10000 larger than the whole American
army before the outbreak of the war
with Spain, and many of the men have
enlisted in the regular establishment
and will continue to serve their coun-
try for years to come. 1t is decidedly
dangerous to make comparisons be-
tween volunteers and regulars, but
there is glory enough for all. This
was illustrated in the operations
against Santiago from June % to July
17,1S9S, for it was only three years
ago when our men of the Fifth Corps
were winning the fight with Spain. In
the Corps were 1853 officers and 17,349
men, and the casualties in all the en-
gagements numbered 1858, of which
1,417 were among the 1927 regulars
and 271 among the 4,941 volunteers
present for duty.-Saturday Evening

National Guard of Missouri.

1.-THE national guard of Missouri suf-
fered seriously after the Spanish
American war" said Major Emmett
Newton, of Springfield, who is its able
defender at all times, says the St.
Louis Globe-Democrat Before the
breaking out of hostilities Missouri
troops were in the pink of condition.
Many of the men had been in service
for years. They were expert soldiers.
The officers spent much time drilling
them and wedding out the various
companies. AS a result they had only
the best men. Then the war came
along and when the boys were muster
ed out they all had plenty of military
experience. The governor disbanded
the whole thing and reorganized It,.
Men who never had any military ex-
perience were admitted. The old
timers left 1t has been big under

out equivocation that the last encamp-
ment was a model so far as the SOL
diers' actions were concerned. We did
have trouble securing ice and water. /

$500 worth Of ice in a weeks time. But
the result has justified all expense.
The encampment may cost the state

of giving the boys any enjoyment, and
they do not receive a cent for their
constant drilling and practicing. Most
of the companies support themselves
entirely They pay their armory rent
al and such other expenses as may
come up. So. say, that Missouri has
cause to be proud of the troops that
were eneamped at Nevada recently"

For Inconsistency in dress, com
mend me to women" said a man on
a street car during one of Fridays
showers. He was looking at girl on
the street who had her long-tailed
gown tucked snugly around her, reveal
ing the 'frillies" of her white cambria
petticoats. No doubt when the young
woman started out these lace-trimmed
founces were crisp things of beauty;
but the floods had descended mean
while, and now they were nothing less
than sloppy-a disagr eeable but ex-
pressive word
The white skirt has really been quite
conspicuous all during our modern del
uge. There were those who thought
that the sex had so progressed that the
wardrobe of even the humblest member
of it boosted a rainy-day skirt; but this
apparently is not so, and the long
skirt and the white skirt have helped
to absorb the water from the pave
ments.

Above the column white clouds formed
in an otherwise cloudless sky, and re-
NAMED visible for two days, the fire
continuing to burn and the smoke to
rise. After the explosion of a gas oil
tank flames shot up to height of 5000
feet, and the heat radiated from them
was felt at a distance of a mile and
three-quarters. where it was more no
