THE BATTLE OF SANTIAGO.
Who Commanded the Fleet?

What is President Roosevelt going
to do with the Schley Appeal? Admir-
al Schley is slowly vending his way to
Washington, will probably be there in
a week or ten days, and it seems TO be
the general opinion. that the President
will render his decision when the Rear
Admiral returns from his. western tour.
There are three ways open to the
President to decide the appeal.
/. He may send the case back to the
Many Department, as having the sole
jurisdiction, and make no other COM
ment.
2. He may declare the appeal regu-
lar and also indorse the final action
of Secretary Long.
8. He may declare the appeal regular
and indorse some of the findings of the
majority of the court and of its presi.
dent, Admiral Dewey.
The fact that the President has
accepted the appeal makes it reason
ably certain that the conclusions arrived
at by Secretary Long and the Navy
Department are not conclusive.
1t seems to be the Presidents duty to
settle the controversy once and for all,
so that congress will not find it neces'
sary to take action on the numerous
bills now before 1t, and which are held
in abeyance, pending the White House
decision.
The President has already decided
that the court had ample jurisdiction
and power to pass on the question of
absolute command. The Navy Depart
ment has always strepuously denied
this.
It seems the President Is opening a
way to concur with Admiral Dewey,
who maintained what the Navy Depart
ment denied, and who did in fact pass
on the question of command.
If this was suggestion from the
White House, it is generally conceded
the President was paving the way to
concur with Admiral Dewey, who had
maintained what the Navy Department
denied, and who did. In fact, pass on
the question Of command.
There is therefore warrent for the
belief that the President may agree
with the majority of the court in non
essentials, which the court magnified
into high crimes and misdemeanors,
but that as to the essentials of who was
actually in command, who won the
great victory, who issued the orders
for the actual conflict, ETC., the presi'
dent will sustain the broad and non
partisan propositions laid down by
Admiral Dewey.
The President was once assistant
secretary of the navy and is aware OF
the inner workings in the bureau and
army offices which led to the "Schley
controversy He was on the board OF
strategy, and remembers, perhaps, a
great many things which are generally
supposed to be forgotten.
It may be further stated that the
president is again reading George

Our farmers are gradually improving
the breed of their hogs, horses and
cattle and it is high time, because it
does not pay to raise scrub stock of any
kind. The LEADER hopes to see every
farmer in the county get into the
blooded cattle business. and why not?
No farmer who processes to be up to
date in his line would think for mo-
ment Of raising "razor backs" for the
market or his own use. It is not nee
esssary for farmer to buy herd of
Herefords or Short Horns, to start
with. Buy few and keep increasing,
farmers in this section of the state are
able to do this now. Think of COWS
selling for $4,000 in Chicago.

Old Man Brady and some of his pals
were run in and put behind the bars at
sanborn last week. The old fellow is
pretty tough propo sition and Lincoln
county wants no more of him or his
crowd. 1t is safe to believe that when
he is sleeping around in Lincoln county
school houses he has no good purpose
in view, and wants to keep away from
the Iowa officers while preparing for
raid. Marshals Tucker and Brenner
can make no mistake in keeping the
old fellow out of this county. Since
the above information was received, it
is learned that some of Brady's pals
helped him to break Jail and he got
away, with officers hunting him in all
directions.

m1sDmrCrED ADMIRATION.

Il Is not an InfreQusnt thing to hear a
person saw that he would like to see Tracy,
the notorious outlaw. make his escape.
The remark Is always accompanied with
some favorable comment on the remark
able nerve and cunning shrewtnsss OF The
man. This misiirscted sympathy seems
to be an available asset Of any man charged
with erims, and the worse the criminal
the greater seems the sympathy extended.
However there Is an explanation that
seems satisfactory, for the feelings Of
people 10 the peculiar case Of Trsey.
There is none who can fail to admir- some
Of the trai,o this man has displayed. His
shrewdness, his nerve and his confidence
are all Of such marked order that they
would be Of great use to society Il only
directed 10 proper channels The admir-
alton for thsse really admirable traits,
when mlsilrsstsd. bsgsts an admiration
for the man himself Of whlch he IS totally
undsssUing.
FOR Trscy, the man, sympathy IS no,
only wasted bot Il Is worse than fOOlIshly
bestowed. There Is not q single reteemlng
trai, IN his makeup. he IS a menace to
society and deserves to Be shot down Ike
a mad dog would be shot. he Is the To-
clnltlon Of ssi6shnsss ana type Of the
worst element Of mankind. Olsegardlng
not onlv his self respect, but the good
name AMI welfare Of his relatives, he De-
llberatelv and from choice selected a c reer
Of crime rather than 70 work for an honest
living. since taking 10 his chosen pro-
ieSsIon he has never fallsd to sxhibl, the
fast that the ons controlling handspring 70
an his actions has been sslhshness, He
cares nlught Tor humln life and Is willing
that Il be sacrificed at ANYTIME should
his selfish ends Be promoted as a eOnse-
qusnoe The cruel and unnecessary muir
der Of the psnitontarv guard with whom
he shielded himself on that evening when
he and Merrill made their famous dash
for liberty and the treachsrous shooting Of
Merrill In the back tell the tale Of his
blaclnsss Of heart and lolthsOmsness
so plainly that further words would be
wasted. He has forfeited whatever rlgh,
he ever had TO live on more than a half
dozen OCCASIONS ana should receive no
more consideration than a mad dog or a
rattlesnl<s.

the balmy air was filed with sweet melody.
There was terrific storm here Sunday night
and several tents were blown down and their

will all come out in the wash; nevertheless
they retired to the hotel ard ali joined in
