TEMPERANCE IN THE ARMY.

President Roosevelt with accuStom-
ed courage and decision has taken a
firm stand against intemperance in
the army, and as commander-in-chief
of that organization he has absolute
authority to issue orders that will
stop the use of liqnor that he knows
to be the bane Of soldiers life.
The president has had experience
and plenty of evidence to show that
much of the i'll health and incapacity
for soldiers for duty, as well as their
discharge for disability is due more to
the inordinaue use of intoxicating
drink than to any other cause, eSpe.
cially in time of peace, and even in
time of war liquor has more to do in
taking off soldiers than the bullets OF
the enemy. Knowing these facts it is
certainly good act of Roosevelt in
taking this step towards positive re.
form. He wants liquor abolished from
the army as far as possible. He is
opposed to the army canteen to the
neighborhoOd saloon or anything else
that will lead the soldier in the way
of temptation.
a car load of army maniacs brought
to this country from the PHILIPPINES
and taken to a government hospital at
Washington has aroused the presi.
dents interest in this subject, for it
is affirmed by the surgeons that most
of the mental disorders of these men
are due to the free use of a poisonous
liquor which is provided by the ma
tiveS in the Philippines, but which
they know enough to use sparingly.
The United States, President RoOSe-
velt thinks, should have the model
soldiers of the world in every sense,
and in order to do this they should be
temperate men. One of the greatest
temperance movements of the age has
thus been inaugurated by the presi-
dent of the United States.

Dr.. H. w. Markley, health officer
of Wells county, has reported to the
state board of health that he is
experiencing great trouble with small
pox in this county. He reports eighty
one cases during March, fifty-lhree of
them being at Liberty Center, town

of case of smallpox and walked about

hitch. He was arrested for violat-

AS was expected, the bids for the
indianapolis federal building show
that Indiana limestone is much cheap
er than granite; that with the former
material the figures are within the
money already appropriated; that
with the latter a sum additional will
nave to be appropriated. AS to the
two materials there is no need for
argument. Indiana limestone has es-
tablished its place in this country as a
superior building material.

The report Of cruelty in the state
prison should be most thoroughly in
vestigated. There attaches always to
charges of this kind a measure of
doubt. The temptation to cruelty is
great. 1t is something that increases
almost insenSibly. At the same time,
the necessities of the case are such
that charges may easily be exaggerat-
ed. For this reason the most scrupul-
Gus and impartial investigation should
always follow in cases of this kind
that the truth may be ascertained and
Justice done.

The terrible suffering of $50 pas
SengerS on stalled train on the Great
Northern railway at lonely spot on
the North Dakota prairie seems
almost incredible in April. The train
was caught in blizzard and for four
days and nights was buried in snow

cold and hunger, fought for rations
like wild beasts. Two passengers
went insane and Prof. Colgrove, late
of the university of Washington. at

his throat.

The postoffice department has under
consideration the question of placing
on one of the stamps of the new issue
the head of some woman who is con-
nected with the history of the coun-

decided upon, although there is no
doubt that Martha Washington will
be the woman so IGNORED. This will
be the first recognition of woman up
on any Of the government securities
issued by the department.

And now it is said President RooSe-
velt has directed the attorney general
to institute proceedings against the
beef trust under the Sherman anti
trust law. If the president should
succeed in breaking up the combina-
tion that has forced up the price of
meat it would make him very popular,
though probably he is more intent on
enforcing the law than he is on win
ming popularity.

Sentiment in favor of a parcels post

Sentiment in favor of parcels post
is rapidly developing. congressman
also recognize that in a very few years
rural free delivery will not only be
universal, but the routes will be re-
duced from an average of 20 miles to
not over ten, so that each family may
receive at least two mails day. The
talk in favor of the postals savings
bank has largely died out, because it
is recognized that such system would
draw money out of the rural districts
and small towns to Washington, to be
deposited in pet banks in big cities.

The report that one of the monu-
ments originally erected by Russia to
mark the Alaskan boundary line has
been arbitrarily removed by Canadian
official surveying expedition is receiv-
ing the attention of the government
authorities. By direc zion of the Presi-
dent Secretary Hay has ordered a per-
sonal investigation to be made by a
committee of United States army Of
tcers to ascertain and report the facts.
OF course, the only object in removing
the monument would be to change the
boundary line, and the act, if done,
would be an affron- equally to Russia
and the United States.
