Personal NOTES.

For innocent and virtuous men Messrs.
Gaynor and Greene display a singular an
tipathy TO the scene Of their recent oper-
atoms.
Mr.. Pierpont Morgan is reported by New
York society gossip to be off for a Eu-
ropean trip in search OF something too ex-
pensive to buy.
Adjutant General H. c. Corbin and Gen.
eral Wood. it is said, hAve been selected
as representatives OF this government to
witness the military in Europe
during the coming summer.
]. Harris Patton Of New York, a noted
historian, has Just celebrated his 90th
birthday. He was born in Fayette county,
New York, and graduated at the Jefferson
college, Philadelphia. in 1889.
1t will be pretty safe to wager a consid.
cradle amount that no ofAcial announce
ment Of peace between England and the
Beers will be forthcoming until 1t will be
timely for a part Of the coronation cere-
monies.
Ernest Won Leyden, one Of Germany's
best known medical authorities and au-
thors. celebrated his 10th birthday OF
April 20. He has been one OF the leaders
in the fight against cancer and tubercu-
losis and 1t Is largely due to his efforts
that more than 100 sanatoria for consump-
tives have been built in Germany during
the last decade.
President Roosevelt will spend his
Fourth Of July at Pittsburg. A delegation
sent to invite the president pointed out to
him that the nations birthday is usually
celebrated on a more elaborate scale in
Pittsburg than in almost any other city 10
the United States. Mr.. Roosevelt said he
would be glad to become the city's guest
and he promised to make a speech al
schenley park, the great public pleasure
ground OF Pittsburg.
Thomas Collier Plat. the easy boss" OF
New York republicans, finds a great deal
Of amusement in the carieatures Of himself
which appear In the papers from time "a
time. A stranger who was introduced "a

you easily from the cartoons. senator. .
With a slow smile the senator said

aging to his friends. An earnest and en-
thusisstic pull in his favor from now on
until the day Of the state convention Ia
about all that Is necessary to land the
coveted prize. Mr.. Saunders represents q
part OF the state that hitherto has been
an almost unrecognised quantity In Ne
braska state politics for many years and
from a part that represents the push and
energy OF republican growth and sound and
lasting loyalty to the party Of progress.
Mr.. Saunders is a man Of wide state sc-
ouaintancc and there are none within our
borders more competent or Trustworthy.
In these parts his friends who will rally
to his support are not confined alone to
republican ranks, but he is even now cham
pioned by others who are conversant with
his worth and ability as a man, a friend
and a nnancier. Let II be Saunders for
state treasurer and northeast Nebraska will
respond handsomely for the honor con-
ferred.

APPLYING THE TEST.
Democratic Treatment of the Army
in IA Philippines.
Chicago Inter Ocean.

Chicago Inter Ocean.
In the present hurly-burly over the
Philippines the issues have become mixed
in the minds Of many American citizens.
The democratic foundations Of the
army are made ostensibly Tor the sake OF
national honor and MISUNDERSTANDING 10
our soldiers as we'll a. to the Fiiipinos.
The republican replies also are made outen-
sibly for the sake Of national honor and
humanity.
In this confusion OF contentious the Hon,
Joseph @. Cannon has done q real public
service In directing attention to q con-
crete act which Eliminates the whole stu
alton.
The question before the house OF repre-
sentatives concerned an appropriation:
For the proper shelter and protection
OF officers and enlisted men Of the army Of
the United States, lawfully on duty In the
Philippines, to be expended in the discre-
ton Of the president, $500, OOo."
There was a roll call. Every republican
voted for this appropriation. Every demo-
crat, save seven, voted against It.
That is, every democrat, save seven, os-
tensibly for the sake OF humanity, voted
against protecting and sheltering American
soldiers in the Philippines, voted to expose
these soldiers to the burning sun and tor
rental rains of the tropics, voted to let
them be racked with fever and enfeebled
by disease, and finally conquered. II not
exterminated, by act OF the United States
congress.
There is the record" as Mr.. Cannon has
said, mot in 1875, but in January. 1909,
and all the waters Of the ocean cannot
wash 1t out"

The announcement is made that all
improvements in F~Ontanelle park are to
be abandoned for this year because the
3O-mill levy made by the council only
leaves $4,000 for park improvements, as
against $4,000 at the disposition of the
park commissioners last year. We APP
prehend that the abandonment of i'm
provements at Park FOntanelle will
cause little distress to the t~axpaying citi-
zens, as well as to the people who do
not pay taxes, except possibly the indi'
vidual workman who might have been
employed in throwing up mounds and
planting sapllngs in that fOrlorn pleasure
spot. On the contrary, we make bold
TO assert that the abandonment of Park
Fontanelle and it's conversion into a cow
pasture would be much more agreeable
to most people than the continuation OF
improvements at the expense of the city
Of a sO-called park that could we'll be
dispensed with for the next fifty years
II it were possible for the city to dis
pose of this tract to market gardeners
at a reasonable price with a view &c
reinvesting the proceeds In the improve
ment OF parks within the reach of the
city population, the curtailment of the
park area would cause no pang of sor
row.

Criticism OF the British army be-
cause of the lamentable weakness shown
in South Africa is bringing out the es-
sential difference between the British
and the American military organization.
A commission in the British army is pro
cured only through influence and pull,
while positions in the American com
missioned list rest on a democratic
basis. Complaints of favoritism and
personal preferment in the American
army are the exception rather than the
rule, whereas in Great Britain the e
ception is the officer who reaches a
commanding post solely by his own
merit.

Better LIeHT RATHER THAN MORA


According to City Electrician Schurig
the time is near at hand for a perpetual
divorce. between the electric arc lights
and hydrogen gas lamps that now pro-
miscuously illuminate various parts of
the city. Mr.. Schurig very properly
calls attention to the waste Of the light
ing fund OF the city in having duplicate
street lighting in various parts Of the
city where one class OF lamps, ieither
electric or gas, would be ample.
With a view to greater economy, MT,
Schurig recommends that the city should
be subdlvlded into electric arc lamp
districts and gas lamp districts, with
electric lamps occupying the business
portion of the city and the a lamps
the territory outside OF the business dis
trict. II this recommendation is adopted
by the council Mr.. schurig believes that
the city can increase the number Of arc
lamps in the business center ana pro
vide more gas lamps in the outskirts
of the city with the fund available from
the tax levy for lighting purposes.

Coal Strike or Hold UpR

Senator Hanna says the anthracite coal

increase of 8 per cent in wages, which
might have been readily covered by an
advance Of 10 cents a ton on the price of

a suggestion that the operators and their
operatives should have reached an AMIGA
