Soldiers Real Attitude.
[kansas City Star.

hdISdS lily Stsit.J
A lot of strained criticism has been
passed on President Roosevelts dec
laration to the cadets of West Point
that IA soldier must not only be willing
to fight; he must be anxious to fight.
1t is fooishly assumed by the critics
of the president that this utterance de-
notes Il bloodthirsty spirit, and that 1t
inculcates such a spirit in the young
men who are training to be officers IN
the army. 1t ought to be clear that
the presidents dictum was based on the
assumption that n just cause for light
ing existed Surely he could not have
intended to say that soldiers should be
for occasions to fight, even
admitting that most of them are con-
stantly looking forward to opportun-
tiles to try their metal and achieve
distinction. Surely all who believe in
the army at all believe that when
there is just cause for war, every SOL
dier should not only be willing, but
to fight.

now working steadily earning good
wages at other kinds of manual labor.
The enforced work required of them
WAS just what they needed to build up
their constitutions and develop their

Another good effect of the plan is the
decrease in the number of tramps. or
"hoboes, found in Buffalo's streets.
The tramps have learned of the work,
and are giving Buffalo a wide berth. In
consequence most of the prisoners are
actual residents of Buffalo. Because of
this the supervisors required that the

blue overalls and Jumper, so that

Reports from various localities in
Iowa indicate that tramps or hoboes
are numerous in many sections of the
state 1t is plainly evident, therefore,
that their needs to be revival of the
agitation of the subject of using them

CROP CONDITIONS.

would not be Well to assume a jublant
tone over the safety OF the wheat crop
in Minnesota and the northwest terri
tory until it was fully matured Most
of the crop, it admits, is already cut
and stacked and out of harm's Way, but
there are still many thousands of acres
of unripe wheat which severe frost
would ruin.
What is needed is delay in the frost
Period not only to mature small grain,
but good hot weather to bring forward
Corn is making good Roadway and
promises we'll. The government crop
report, issued Monday, gives the condi-
ton of corn on August LIST at S65 as
compared with "a on August LIST, 1901.
Not only is the condition more than so
per cent better, but the corn acreage
this year is much larger, and the con-
dition of the soil as to moisture is so
much better that there is no reason to
fear a recurrence of the not winds that
cut down the crop of 1901 to such small
proportions. Indeed. the. principal
drawback, just now, is too cool weather
for rapid growth.
Small grain is yielding we'll in the
northwest. The Manitoba Free Press.
of August Sth, has review of the field
tributary to Winnipeg. 1t says: The
information contained in the supple
ment has been gathered with care; and
can be relied upon. The reports there
printed show that, given q continuance
of good weather, the west Will harvest
at least 6O,00G,000 bushels of wheat and
forty million bushels OF oats. This is a
estimate. The apparent
excellence of the crops as they stand
would, perhaps. justify the adding of
another 100000 bushels to the wheat
estimate
1t will be noticed that the outcome is
to some extent predicsted on favorable
estimate." This of course refers to the
yield in Canadian territory.

BUSINESS MEN IN OFFICE.

The value or usefulness of the 81
widely illus trated by the career of the
late Senator James Mcmillan, of Mich
igan. Less famous than an orator would
have been, he was not less honored by
his countrymen in tributes of respect
Attic he had been member OF the
United States senate since 1889, he
rarely spoke in public. His most not
able utterance in the senate was on the
question of intervention in Cuba. Then
he showed a trait of character few sus-
pected that he possessed. The board OF
trade of a Michigan city sent him a
memorial protesting against interview
zion on the ground that war with Spain
would greatly disturb the business of
the country. The senator read the me-
mortal, and then, throwing the paper
contemporary under his desk, eN-
claimed in a tone that ran thru the
chamber and electrified the country:
MIR President, there are some things
worse than war and some things better
than money" That was all he said,
but there was an earnestness in his
manner and an emphasis in his voice
vote when the question of intervention
was put.
During about ten years of his time as
Il member of the upper house he was
chairman of the committee on the Dis
trict of Columbia, a position which
made him practically the mayor of
Washington. He was thoroughly fa
miliar with the needs of the city, and
vas always foremost in looking after
them in congress. Under his supervi-
sion an extensive park and boulevard
system had been devised for Wasling-4
ton, which eventually will make this
the most beautiful capital in the world.
Many millions of dollars will be re-
uuired to carry out his scheme of beau
tifying the city. but. congress already
atoms for the great work there can be
no doubt of its completion.
His career as a business man in his
own state had paved the way of prefer
ment. 1t is said Senator AIcMilan's
great power lay in his unusual aptitude
for business. He was an active direc-
tor in many of the largest banks, man
ufacturing, railroad and other corpor-
atoms in Michigan, and 1t is said of
him that one fifth of the entire popula-
lion of Detroit was either directly or
indirectly supported by the earnings
Of the concerns in which he was a
large stockholder.
He made use of the talent given him
and in this way filled a successful and
honorable career, even tho he did not
Shine in debate or win applause in the

TRUSTS SAY THUMBS UP"
TDubl1uue Times


The American Economist snaps anc
snarls like a rabid dog whenever any
che dares to even suggest that possibly
some of the Dingley tariff schedules
might be altered with benefit to con
.su1ners in this country. Its last attack
is on Senator Cullom, whom the paper
quotes as saying:
What we want to do now is to in
quire carefully into the whole subject
of the Dingley schedules. and determine
Just what rates should be cut and to
what extent. l don't know how soor
we shall have to take up this tremen-
dous task in c<gresz bait l do know
that we shall have to do it before q
great While"
Then the paper proceeds to pounc
and pummel the senior Illinois senator
in gleeful fashion, kissing between set
teeth:
rs it possible that he does not know
the certain consequences that Woulc
follow the carrying out of his program
Does he not realize that the mere
declaration by congress of the inten-
ton to tear open the tariff rates woulc
inhict Il shock upon all business?
is hard to believe that this republican
senator has thought out his tariff tear
ing project to its logical and inevitable
conclusion. His proposition is expllca-
BILE only on the theory that it is born OF
midsummer foolishness.
This is a serious arraignment and a
cruel insinuation against one who has
grown gray in his country's service:
one who has never done aught against
his country's good.
To read the Economist one might
presume that the schedules We're inn
maculate, sacred, perfect If this be
true, the paper must weep with I'M
staunched tears at the superseding of
the first tariff schedule in the history
of the country.
Everything is changing in this life
Nothing remains as it is now. Condi-
tons change constantly. Inventions
discoveries. new developments bring
this about. And yet the American
Economist would stand still. This is
old fogyism in the extreme or willful
perverseness. Probably the latter, as
it is we'll known that the Economist is
a subsidized paper. published by and
for the trusts. and without probably
more than a dozen paid subscribers.

p RIsoNERs AND ROAD WORK.

In some sections of New York efforts
have been made to use prisoners In
road work. From Buffalo comes state
1nent of this new source of revenue. In
figures. the amount is not considered
large. but the circumstances in which it
is derived are considered commendable
by the greater portion of taxpayers.
The income is derived from the toll of
men who have been sentenced for short
terms of imprisonment, and who, by
being forced to work have been con-
verified from nom producers into indus
trious wage earners for the county's
benefit.
These prisoners are employed in
breaking stone, and would have been
objection. The labor organizations
brought pressure to bear against the
employment of the convicts on the
toads. The supervisors also discovered
that it would cost much more than was
anticipated TO employ competent men
to supervise the work of the convicts in
the building of the roads; also that
skilled workmen were unwilling to
work with convict labor. This forced
the supervisors to give up the scheme
Of using the convicts for road building
Altho the men could not be employed
In building roads, there was nothing to
prevent the supervisors from using
them to quarry stone from the countys
quarry on the almshouse farm, aud to
crush the stone That is what the con-
vitcs are doing, and for every cubic
yard of stone crushed by them the
county is enriched by 20 cents, the
road contractor paying that amount.
Some other good results are noted.
The effect on the convicts has been
beneficial. A number of men who en-
