No provision is made in the United
States Army establishment for the
employment Of trained and skilled vet
erinarians as part OF the regular
service. Those employed by the army
are civilians and have no recognized
status. In this respect the United
States army is behind that of every
first and second rate power in the
world. Nothing is of more importance
TO the efficiency Of an army in the field
than the care OF it's horses and the
proper inspection of the feed cattle,
carried in its train-upon the first
largely depends its mobility and upon
the second. just as largely. its health.
A senseless prejudice, which has not
been allowed to stand in the way of
army Improvement in any of the mon
archical countries of the Old World. IL

PROHIBITION DOESN'T PRoHIBrT.


The folly in wasting time trying to
enforce prohibition where public senti-
ment is against 1t, is nowhere more
clearly apparent than in Kansas. In
that state there is a prohibition clause
in the constitution, and there are the
strictest kind of laws for the enforce
ment of it. Nevertheless, the law
against selling intoxicants is openly
violated, except in those localities
where there is sufficient public senti-
ment to see to it that it is en-
forced. In other words, local option
prevails in Kansas, and not prohibit
ton.
The people have about come to the
conclusion that it is a waste of time
to try to enforce the prohibition law,
and those who favor temperance have
decided to try other measures for re-
lieving the state from the liquor evil.
They are sending men capable of max
ing strong addresses in favor of tenn
perence to all of the counties of the
state, where meetings, similar to relig-
ious revival meetings, are held, and
both men and women are invited to
sign a pledge not to drink intoxicant
liquors. The aim is to get the young
men to sign, and. according to the re-
ports sent out from the state, the plan
is meeting with great success.
We have always held that the only
way to stop the sale of intoxicants is
to educate the people against the liquor
habit. When a majority of any COM
munity decides that it does not want
whisky sold in it's territory it is an
easy matter to prevent the sale of in
toxicants there. Those whose duty it is
to enforce the anti-liquor law will obey
public sentiment
The effort to keep intoxicants out OF
Kansas has been vigorous and persist
ent for years, but it has not been sue
cessful Even now there is a move
ment to erect a brewery in Leaven-
worth, Notwithstanding the fact that
there is a strict law against manufac-
turing and selling beer in the state.
The movement to erect this brewery
shows how nearly a dead letter the
prohibition law in Kansas is. But II
the new scheme for getting rid of the
liquor traffic is adhered to, 1t will not
be many years before the amount of in
toxicants consumed in that state will
be very small.

noERs STILL HOLDING OUT.

It begins to look as If the Beers
would never surrender-that they
would hold out until all of them are
either killed of captured. Only one
outcome of the war seems probable,
and that is the triumph of the British.
In fact. a day or two ago, il was
stated by Mr.. Chamberlain, Secretary
of State for the Colonies, that it was
only a question of a little while be-
fore the end would come. He said he
regarded the war as being practically
over.
Still, the Boer leaders talk hopeful
ly. On what they base a hope of indie
pendenee is not apparent. They are
holding, practically. none Of the terri
tory in dispute. A belated dispatch
published in the Morning News yester-
day stated that the Beers in arms
numbered only about 1000 men.
Since that time there have been a good
many of them either killed or captured.
so that there cannot be more than
5000 now. The wearing away process
is going on steadily. The British are
also losing men, but they can stand
the loss. The Beers cannot

dom for the Beers to get the best terms
possible and bring the war to close.
II they had reason to think that help
would be offered them, there would be
reason in their continued resistance,
but, as a matter of fact, there are no
signs that help will be offered.
They have made brave fight-one
of the bravest and best in the history
OF the struggles for liberty-and, what
ever the fate of their country. they
will have the respect and admiration
of liberty-lovin people everywhere.

down on the bills that he has ever been

taken. He hasn't yet announced his

decision is to give a try for the presi-
dency, there'll be great shaking of dry
bones among the bosses.

 MR, BRYAN AND THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY Senator Daniel Says Democrats Should Deal With Issues PLATFORM IS SECONDARY !. is Now Expected That the Norfolk Convention VIII Practically Fol

PLATFORM IS SECONDARY

Washington, July 20.--(Special.)-A re- mark by Senator Daniel of Virginia shows the attitude of many Democrats who, while not approving of Bryanism, stood by the party. .,In discussing the Ohio Democratic platform, Senator Daniel said:
 'The Democratic party ought to look to the future and deal with issues as they arise, without regard to any past platform whatever"
 That seems to be the view of quite a number of leading Democrats in Virginia, and it Is now expected that the platform to be adopted by the convention that meets shortly in Norfolk will follow rather closely the lines laid down by the Ohio Democrats, This does not mean, by any means that MT. Bryan has lost the great mass of his followers, but that the leaders of the party. who have never been in full sympathy with Mir. Bryan believe that it Is better to drop many of the. Issues that were featured in 1896 and 1900. By speaking of MT. Bryan

Other States Will Follow.

It is the gossip of politicians in Wash ington that other states will follow the Ohio lead as far as they can-much will depend, of course, upon local conditions. It is fully understood that had it been known in Ohio, before the convention oc- cured and the delegates were chosen that there was any purpose to make Bry- an and his views subordinate there would have been such an uprising as would have swamped the anti-Bryan men and caused the reafflrmation of the Kansas City plat form, punctuation and ail But the Ohio Democrats who were in charge of the convention were very careful to keep their plans rather dark with the result that they succeeded in slapping Bryan. in Ohio this policy is most likely to lose many votes for the Democratic ticket, Democrats who believe in Bryan absent ing themselves from the polls in order to show their displeasure at the treat ment of their idol. There is also pos- sbility that third ticket may be put in the field with Golden Rule Jones at its head, but that is a matter for future con sideration.
 The difficulty that the men who would subordinate Bryanism find is in conciliat- ing the Bryanites. but that seems to be a task as difficult as mixing oil and wa ter, at least just at present
