ARMY SPECIALISTS.

The Service and Staff college, new
institution in the United States army,
will open at Fort Leavenworth, Sep
TENDER 1. Four departments of in
struction will be inaugurated for the
benefit of the officers of the army
tactics, engineering, law and hygiene.
This is an age of specialists. 1t is
the man who knows his business and
knows it better than anybody else,
who succeeds in the largest measure
in this busy, active, hustling age. The
time for generalties has passed.
To meet this demand the authorities
of the army have deemed it advisable
to establish school of special instruc-
ton for the benefit of the army Off
GERS. This school will not attempt to
take the place of the military acade-
my at West Point. 1t will, however,
supplement the work of this school
and give instruction along special
lines to the officers. 1t will familiar.
lZe its Ofhcer-StudentS WIN tne detalls
of their work, in the practical hand
ling of troops, in caring for the health
of the soldiers, in the rights OF the
military of this country at all times
and in solving the problems of actual
service and warfare. 1t is a step to-
ward the increased efficiency Of the
army of the United States. 1t will re-
suit in placing it's members in the
front rank in military matters and in
making them well posted and compe'
tent experts in their particular line
This movement is in keeping with the
spirit of the age and should receive
the most enthusiastic support OF the
people OF this country.

account for the entire increase, but on
ly that sent out from the free delivery
districts. There has also been large
increase in the amount of mail sent
into these countries.
The rural free delivery is proving to
be one of the greatest educational
agencies in the united states. The
farmers and their families do more let
ter writing than formerly and the cir
culation of newspapers in these dis
tricts has increased to an amazing
rate. The residents Of the country
homes now do more reading and in
this way keep better posted and are in
closer touch with the outside world
than ever before. 1t is the means
whereby the intelligence of the citizens
of this country will be rapidly advanc-
ed 1t is gratifying to know that, not
only is it proving to be a blessing to
mankind, but that it is also source of
substantial revenue.

FOUND IN THE TALL GRASS.

Vinton Eagle: One hundred dollars
per acre, the price paid for the Henry
Kuhn farm, in Taylor and Eden town.
ships-120 acres-will be the standard
price for similar farms in the county
hereafter. In 1867. when the editor of
the Eagle commenced his apprentice
ship in the art preservative" in this
Office, there was but one house be-
tween Vinton and Blairstown and the
only mode of transportation to Vinton
was the public hack except in your
own conveyance. Vinton did not have
railroad for two years afterwards.
Land at that time was worth S. to $40
per acre. We remember when land in
the county reached the extravagant
price of $40 purchasers clicked" be-
cause it was too high and never could
be made to pay. The kicks" continu-
ed as land continued to rise, and
strange to say there is less kicking"
now at land at $50, $50 and 500 than
at any price preceding the present
average price. Twelve thousand dol
lars may seem to be good deal of
working capital to put in 120-acre
farm, fairly improved, but it is going
in just the same And it seems to be
easily paid. A farmer was in the Of
fee last week who had contracted his
car load of hogs for August and Sep
TENDER delivery at So per hundred.
With interest at only Az and 5 per
cent the hog is turning up his nose at
everything that comes in his way when
it comes to paying for farm.

speakers, including President Mitch
ell and Mother Jones, who promise to
come into the sixth district and assist
in the campaign work"
This statement is improbable for
several reasons, one of them bling
that there are great many republic
ans among the mine workers, Who
would have no interest in seeing Mr..
Reese elected on the democratic ticket.
Another is that the constitution of the
union does not permit the levy of as
sessments on the unions to be used
by the officers in running for political
offices.
The miners union is a national or
ganization with membership belong.
ing to all political organizations. en-.
gagged at present in struggle that is
taxing it's entire resources. 1t has
neither the time nor the inclination to
concern itself with political contest
in the sixth district of Iowa, and it
may be safely set down that Mr.. Reese
will have to rely on himself and his
personal friends for his support The
wish is father to the thought when re-
ports are sent out that money will be
diverted from the funds needed in the
great strike to help pay his campaign

THE MURDER OF Mr.. FlNkEL.
STEIN

The entire state has been Mortified
by the brutal murder of Isaac Finkel-
stein in Des Moines and while at the
present sine the guilt for this most
foul act cannot be fixed, yet it should
be warning to every city throughout
this state to take the utmost precau-
ton at all times for the suppression of
lawlessness and the prevention of such
atrocities.
1t now seems entirely probable that
the dastardly deed may be traced to
the personal enmity and viciousness of
an individual. In the event of such a
discovery the relation of the crime to
the community will be materially
changed though it's base character will
not be lessened in the least 1t is i'm
possible for any community to fortify
itself against such pernicious out
breaks OF such a frenzied and malig-
nant character as must have been the
one who committed this deed. Such
attacks are the result wholly of the
base purposes Of the individual and
these are liable to appear in the most
well ordered and law abiding COM
munity. From such attacks there can
be no absolute assurance OF protec-
ton.
Though criminal negligence cannot
be alleged against the authorities in
such cases, neither can there be any
definite charge made against the
vicious places in a community as to
their responsibility for such deeds. 1t
cannot be denied, however, that the
presence of the lawless classes in a
community and the influences they ex-
ert have a tendency to promote crime
and disregard for the law Left to run
it's own course the monster "lawless-
nessp soon begins to gain an air OF
confidence. 1t then will become AFRO
giant and there soon follows a feeling
of safety in the preparation of it's
crimes. This fact should serve to re-
awaken every community in the state
and arouse the citizens of this common
wealth to demand greater surveillance
OF the lawless element.

MR.. SHAW NOT A CANDIDATE.

Secretary L. M. Shaw has settled
the question of his candidacy for the
presidency in 1904 and has stated posi-
lively that he will not allow any aspir-
ations of his to stand in the way of
the present incumbent in that year.
His position in the matter is clearly
and concisely stated in letter written
recently to Missourian, in which he
pays worthy tribute to President
Roosevelt He says:
No man has ever given this coun-
try more thoroughly honest and con-
scientious administration than it is
now receiving at the hands OF Presi-
dent Roosevelt. He came to the office
in the most unfortunate manner. He
did not desire the nomination to the
vice-presidency, but took it at the So
licitation of his friends and now it
seems to me that there should be no
other thought in the mind of anyone
than his denomination.
Whether or not Mr.. Shaw has had at
times previous to this any aspirations
for the presidency of the United States
does not need to be discussed at the
present time. 1t Is evident that Mr..
Shaw is filled with loyalty to President
Roosevelt and considers him as the
one man among the American people
who should be the choice of the repub-
licans two years hence as their can
didate for the Office of chief executive
of this nation. The friends of Mr..
Shaw thoroughly understand his posi-
ton in the matter and are most careful
to follow his personal wishes.
There are some people in the United
States who are wholly devoid of any
respect for the feelings of others, or
else they are not able to understand
the English language when direct and
plain statement is made 70 them. The
persistence with which the name Of
Secretary Shaw has been mentioned
in connection with the presidential
campaign of 1904 has, we believe, caus.
ed that official no little embarrass-
ment 1t is plain that any true friend
of either President Roosevelt or Sec
rotary Shaw would not be guilty of
such an offense, especially now that
the feelings of the latter are SO well
known concerning the matter.
There are undoubtedly outside forces
that are at work and we believe that
the continued reference to Mr.. Shaw
for the presidency is being carried on
by persons outside the party for Who'll
ly Interior reasons. Just what the
plans of these agitators are is only a
matter of conjecture at this time, but
it is probable that they think by this
