Lieutenant Colonel Roosevelt at
the time Of the preparations for the
Porto Rico expedition brought up
on himself the written censure of
the War Department for his pre-
sumption in making derogatory
comparisons in letter to the
Secretary Of War between other
volunteer regiments and his own
corps Of rough riders. In a sharp
letter the secretary pointed out the
improperly of volunteer Lieu
tenant Colonel recommending the
advancement Of his own command
by detracting from the merits Of
other volunteer commands. In at
tending to General Miles indiscre-
ton it would not have been amiss
for the President to recall some sof
the experiences of Lieutenant
Colonel Roosevelt.

GOOD PROSPECTS AHEAD.


The new year ushers in an era
OF prosperity for the state of Idaho
which it has not enjoyed before in
its history. While intense parti-
sans may claim that this is due to
the party in power, the conserva-
tive persons who stop to consider
cause and effect know that this is
not true. The state received a
hard blow and one Of its principal
industries was seriously crippled
when that party struck death
blow at silver. Their high tariffs
are also responsible for the present
low prices Of wool, lead, copper
and other products. Yet in spite
Of this the state has prospered. We
are developing our vast timber re-
sources and our manufactured lum-
Der will soon be going east to sup
ply the demand created by the de-
pletiOn Of the forests of Wisconsin,
Michigan and Minnesota. The
harvests Of grain have been boun-
tiful, and the orchardist has had a
good market for his products. The
desert is being fed from the ever
lasting fountains of pure water and
the people are coming in from
the overcrowded east with cap
ital, brain and Drawn to add
their quota to the total shat makes
prosperity. These are the chief
reasons for the present healthy
conditions. No country could be
other than prosperous under them,
and when they fail no political
party on earth can continue pros
perity. The production of wealth
from the mines, the soil, the tim
Der, is not due to political parties
but to the enterprise OF man. The
source of wealth may be affected by
political legislation, but it cannot
be wholly destroyed. Hence, SO
long as we are passing through this
era of development we will enjoy
prosperity, no matter what party
may be in power. The prospects
for the new year are most encour-
aging.

The astonishing feature of the
development Of Camas Prairie, in
SO far as it has been developed, is
that it has proceeded steadily from
year to year without adequate
transportation facilities. In re-
sources of agricultural, forest and
pasture land and mineral territory
of fabulous values and extent, with
opportunities for home building un-
surpassed anywhere in the north
west, this picturesque section of
Idaho remains shut in and shut
out and tightly bottled up, SO to
speak. Yet its people forge ahead
in their own way and grow year by
year in prosperity and commercial
development. The railroads will
without doubt come by aud by.

THE DISPENSARY SYSTEM.
Senator Tillman has an article
in Leslie's Magazine in which he
defends the South Carolina dis
pensary law, claiming it to he a
working success. He gives some
striking figures, comparing South
Cardinals traffic with the liquor
traffic in Maine and Kansas, the
latter two being Prohibition states.
He makes u compilation from the
figures OF the Commissioner of In
ternal Revenue, according to which
Maine has a retail liquor dealer to
each $50 of population; Kansas has
one to every 500 people, while
South Carolina has only one to
3,0O5 population. This is certainly
a great point in favor of South
Carolina.
Senator Tillman explains the his
tory and workings Of his system,
and claims that it is superior to
the license system, scoring some
good points; it prevents the pur-
chaser drinking the liquor on the
premises where he buys it, he
must go somewhere else to drink;
it deprives the sellers of profit, they
get fixed salaries and have no in
centive to push sales; it breaks up
the habit of '.treating;" at sunset
the dispensary is closed and re-
mains closed until 8 the next morn
ing. His comparison Of his system
with prohibition is brief and scorn-
full; the latter encourages hypocrisy
and perjury, and does not prohibit;
in South Carolina drunkenness has
decreased from so to Is per cent
since the law went into effect; in
prohibition states it is easy to get
a physicians certificate that liquor
is needed for medicine; in South
Carolina, "Dispensaries can sell
only on written orders and send
goods by hand or express. There
is no attempt to prevent the use Of
liquor. We fight the devil with
fire. We control the abuse of
whisky with the use Of whisky,
supplying the demand in the least
harmful way"
In one part Of his article, speak
ing of the so-called "license' is
sued by the United States to retail
dealers, Senator Tillman says that
it is not a "license" in the proper
sense Of that term, because the
United States does not authorize
the sale Of whisky contrary to state
law; it is mere evidence that the
tax required by the government
has been paid. 1t is anomalous
that the United States government
should appear to encourage viola
ton of state laws by issuing IL
censes or permits to sell in a state
where the sale is prohibited or il
allowed only to bonded state off.

GOOD REASONS FOR BRITISH FAILURE.
There are at least three good reasons for British
failure to conquer the Beers The names of these
reasons are Botha, DeWet and D4larey.
There have been a thousand excuses advanced for
British failure. Great stress has been laid on eli
mate, conditions and the topography of South Afri
ca, distance from home etc. But Arthur Lynch
says it is largely a matter of men. He is the ex-
colonel of a regiment of Boer cavalry and now a
member of the English house of commons. He
knows Botha, Dewet and Delarey as well as you
know your brother, and in Paris paper recently he
tells about these rough and unconquered heroes of
many battles.
Botha is young in years. broad shouldered
giant, muscular as wrestler and athletic as prize
fighter. He doesn't know the meaning of fear, and
he believes in his cause. Yet, says this English
writer, he has heart like womans, and he is
kind to those about him. He is strategist, skill
full tactician and dashing soldier, always, He
possesses some of that indefnable influence over
men that made Napoleon famous. Men were glad
to die when the "Little Corporal of France asked
for their lives and they went to their graves face to
the foe and smiling.
DeWet was merchant before the war. He was a
warrior without knowing it, and circumstances
mace MIN mlguCy general. he Is ABOUT az years
Fold, vigorous, solid, hard and dry wood. He
seems to be the embodiment of war; Resistance is
in every gesture. He makes his own plans and con-
suits no one. When project is formed he is ada
mant. The soldiers who follow him seldom know
where he is going, or why DeWet fights like hun
ter He stalks his game. He is man of surprises
He glides and crawls until the prey is near. Then
he strikes, and England mourns again.
Dearey is tall, slender, 40 years DID, and fighter,
At home he is known as the "Sient Man, He
doesn't talk-he acts, and Lord Roberts says he is
kind and humane. Other British officers have paid
tribute to his gallantry and shrewdness referring
to him always fair fighter
So there you have'a word portrait of three gener-
ais and three human reasons for the failure. of a
mighty nation to conquer handful of men, even
though blood and money and sorrow have not been
stinted.

FUNSTON STILL A VOLUNTEER"

General Fred Funston is still in the hero business
He has been interviewed and banquetted until life
looks to him like one long period of unaoyed wor-
> ship. Recently by way of novel variant for the
monotony he has taken to saying things and there
by has illustrated the difference between regular
and volunteer. At recent banquet in New York
he undertook to dssertate the philosophy of the
Philippine situation illustrate the effect of the ar
guments at home on the conditions IN the islands,
and to define the political significance of public SEN
timent and legislative action. The criticisms his
public utterances evoked from the press, the gener
al states 'are making him tired, but he still
tinues to be interviewed thus further illustrating
the fact that he is volunteer.
Gen. Funston may be as expert in matters of
economy as he is in defying death in the flood of a
Philippine creek; he may be we'll adapted to
throw light our colonial policy as he is to lead
an expedition for the capture of ''modern George
Washington - but he seems to forget that he is q
SOLDIER and that soldier are made for other purposes
than the interview and the illustrated weekly pa
pers What he said is not matter of great impor-
lance except as it sheds light the characteristics
of the speaker, but. his rather lengthy argument,
which he claims the president desired him to
repeat in Boston,; ,wasmuch more than an acknowl-
edgement gratitude for the honor done him at the
banquet and it was in striking contrast to the SOL
dierly conduct of the late Gen. Lawton who was al
so sonce called on for speech. Gen. Lawton bowed
his acknowledgements and when he sat down said
to the man beside him:
81 am SOLDIER ... :"
