ATHLETICS FOR SOLDIERS.

The innovation made by General
Miles, that drill should be dispensed
with for two months, and tnat the time
given to drill be utilized in athletic
exercises, is a plan which will make
the old martinets fairly turn pale and
wonder what the devil the army is
coming to, sub? but it is sound policy
all the same.
Drill is of course essential to an army
or to any body of men who have to
work together for a common object.
But the endless drills which are the
fate of most soldiers, are wearisome
and without result. An intelligent man
can learn all that there is to learn
about drill in a comparatively short
time. He must however have constant
practice, but this practice need not
take up the whole of his time. This
General Miles has recognized.
The soldier of the present day is
a very different being from the soldier
of the past. Movements in concentrat-
ed charge are seldom required now.
The mouern soldier must be skilled
marksman, and he must be active,
athletic and ready W ted. AIuch more
depends upon the individual soldier
than used 70 be the case. The modern
soldier has to think and act for him
Sell, as well as to act in concert. The
soldiers of the days OF Frederick the
Great, or OF Marlborough, did not think
for themsei, es, they were merely and
purely machines. General Miles has
recOB Di4eu that athletic eAeryl5e, out
side Of arill Will not only ueg cop the
soldiers muscles, but The practice will
have distinct effect upon his brain,
and will give himself confidence and
judgment.
The war in the Philippines has taught
our leading military men a great deal.
We understand what are the problems
which we have to deal with. The Boer
war has also taught all military men
very serious lessons. The tendency
may be to run to an opposite extreme
from the old drill system, and to neg
lect it altogether. This General Miles |
does not propose to do. He is no adyo- |
cate of a slouchy, addressed soldier. |
He sets an example by being a well set |
up, accurately dressed officer on all
occasions,

There were no better drilled soldiers
in the history Of the world, than those
of Caesar during the Gallo war. But
most thoroughly as he believed in drill,
and the more urgently very intricate
concerted action was called for by the
weapons then ia use, yet he mentions
the fact that during the celebrated
surprise of the Nervi when his force
might have been overwhelmed, his
safety lay and the safety Of all the
Roman force lay in the fact that they
did not wait for orders from himself
but each one did what was necessary
.of his own volition. He specially dwells
upon the knowl dye and practice Of the
rank and file "scientia ct usus mill
tum.' Mere drilled machines, with no

CONVICT EXPERIMENTS.

Mississippis successful experiments
in convict farming would seem TO indi-
cate that that State has gone a long
way toward solving the problem Of
prison labor. Twelve large convict
farms, mostly devoted to cOtton-grOw-
ing have been established in the Yazoo
delta, from which the State derived
last year an income Of more than $lZ5,
OUO. Louisiana and Alabama have fol-
lowed the example with similar sue
cess. The Chicago Evening Post says:
This plan Of working convicts in
Mississippi seems TO have proved a
great success, for it is about to be eX-
tended by the addition of 1900 acres
Of land the State has bought recently,
from which IL is expected a revenue of
100000 a year will be drawn. Convict
farming has also been tried by some
Of the counties with success and pro-
fit.
But how about the convcts them
selyes2 1T scarcely needs argument TO
show that they are much better off
working out their sentences for the
State direct than they were under the
Old leasing system. They are better
cared for, better housed, under better
discipline, and more permanently 10
Gated. They are never idle, and they
labor all day in the free air and sun
shine Of the fields. In earning their
own board and lodging they are also,
in a sense, making restitution TO sOci-
ETY. for the wrong they may have done.
The effect Of this can not be other than
salutary.
What effect this convict cotton
growing may have ultimately upon the
market it would be difficult to say, and
upon this largely hangs the perma-
nenCy and expansion of the system.
At present the cotton produced by the
State Of Mississippi is not sufficient to
affect the price, and it will require
much wider application of convict labor
to State-controlled cottOn-fields to de-
termine whether all the convict labor
of the South can be employed in cotton
growing without upsetting prevailing
values.
1T is possible that society may come
in time to realize that IL is not only
humane but eminently reformatory and
common sense to make convicts self
sustaining, If not an actual source Of
revenue, and Mississippi may be blaz-
ing one of the paths leadings to such
rational general system"
Long ago, when Mr.. Low, now man
ager of the Honolulu plantation, was
warden of the Prison, he advocated an
industrial farm for the prisoners The
scheme was quite well worked up, and
had it had the financial backing Of the
Legislature would have been very valu-
able. But like many schemes which
are for true advancement, it was cast
aside. The irony of the case here is
I,..
Low in his ideas are now being blamed
for not carrying out prison reform.
There could not be more absurd
charge. but 1t is made, nevertheless,
and sometimes made by people who are
intimately acquainted with the circum-
stances. Political rancour carries some
minds to despicable lengths.

event in our annals. Mr.. Desky has the
honor Of establishing the first passenger

OF much encouragement Mr. Desky has

scheme, the turning point may be said
to have Deen reached, and there is pros
pect of smooth sailing in the future.
A man who has opened up a residence

for some people to give up coffee drink

The similarity in names led to a re-
grettable error being made uninten-
tionally in these columns Monday, in
the account Of a police court circum-
stance, wherein a young girl. Edith
Robinson, was stated to have caused
her father considerable worry on ac-
count of her actions of the previous
might, when she left her home in COM
pany with young man named Barker.
Az far as the name was concerned, 1T
was correct, but the place of residence
Was confused, and, as it 50 occurs,
places in unenviable notoriety another
young woman by the same name, who
resides on North Third avenue. The
Edith Robinson who figured in the case
was the daughter Of ]. G. Robinson, in
stead of j. H. Robinson, as stated.
The Miss Robinson who was mietak-
emily given the credit of the escapade
teaches in one of the rural schools near
