sINeo,s CHANGE OF HEART.

Ihere was once an army officer-he is
I en- army officer today. for that matter.

known fsmiiiarly to his West Point class
mates and afteryard to his intimates in
the army as Bingo. There never was a

was what Is known in the Points YER
nacular as reckless" II has never been
charged that the academy boys made
too much Of the negro cadets who from
time 10 time have been appointed 10 the
government school.
Bingo didn't ike the negroes. and he
never was at much pains to conceal the
TACT His early training had made him
cal them 'nigSers." and nisgers they were
70 him, and nothing else Il happened
that Bingo was at the academy when
Johnson Chestnut Whitaker, the South
Carolina colored cadet got the whole
country by the ears with his woody story
that his own ears had been cut by the
white cadets. who not only sliced these
useful members, but hit the lad over the
head with an Indian club and also had
sbeared of his crisp, curling locks close
TO the head.
It was afterward proved that Mr.. Whit
takers ears were not cut. that he had
not been hit by an Indian club and that
the hair clipping was done on his head
by his own hands. 1t perhaps isn't nee
essary to go into the matter too deeply,
but two separate boards. after fnvestiga-
tons which cost the government many
thousands of dollars, found out the truth
OF the affair. and sentenced the negro
cadet TO be dismissed from the service.
A kiad-hearted secretary Of war, whose
father had issued the emancipation proc
lamatioH saw 10 It that Mr.. Whitaker
was let out easy a technically was
the loophole. and so the colored cadet
is borne on the records as having been
dismissed for deficiency in studies and dis
cipiine.

It was about this time that the cadets.
Bingo among them, received all sorts OF
letters from all sorts of people declaring
that the governments students were q

1 beasts, and So on to the end OF the vO-
cabulary. The cadets were sore, as the
slangsters have il. II memory serves
well, Bingo was the sorest lad in the
lot He said one day that he believed
that niggers were all cut out of the same
piece of black cloth He was looking for
ward TO an army career, but he said On
two or three occasions that he hoped it
wouldn't be his III luck TO be assigned 10
a niger outfit. I don't see" he said
how it's possible to make soldiers out of
such stuff"
Wen. it came about that Bingo was
assigned TO a coiored cavalry regiment
called the Flying Ninth as a reminder
of the day when the black troopers made
a ride Of seventy miles 10 the rescue OF
with nothing under their belts but cup
Of coffee and chunk OF bread.

tiles that 90 TO make up good soldier.
but il takes time and work TO root out
his men as niggers. That would have been
bad form and unmilitary to something
more than a degree; but when he thought
OF them there is little doubt that his
mental impression was that of a word
having two gs in II.
Il was something less than year af-
ter Bingo joined down at the isolated
military post in far-away New Mexico
that the Apaches broke loose. 1t was the
summer of 1881. and there was the heat
OF he'll on the desert. The Indian trouble
was not as the weather. and it continued !
ali through the sos. Bingo was a second
lieutenant. He had been two or three I
times through the ceremony Of baptism /

oovERNMENT AID NEEpEp.

Private capital will not push the
matter of irrigation said C.. j. GAVIN,
of Ration. to the Denver Times. "and
there is no law by which il can be
forced to make public improvements.
Irrigation is the only redemption for
northern New Mexico. Its soil is sus
ceptible to the yielding of abundant
crops If water is put on 1t, and the
government can aid without the posi-
bility of loss toward this reclamation.
Il must admit there is a surprising
lethargy evident among people in the
west on this subject of government aid
for the building of reservoirs. The
press is full of the advantages and the
fairness of the proposition. There is
not a farmer or business of any kind
but what is Well posted on the subject,
but when you call for a meeting for
the purpose of securing Endorsement
by popular voice these meetings are
SHINY attended by the men who are TO
be benefited. but well attended by ditch
and canal owners, whose interests will
he jeopardized by the success OF the
popular scheme.
MANY eastern cities r giving the
idea better endorsement than an equal
number i'm the west. The eastern man
ufacturer sees that the building up of
this section must mean more business
for him and he is willing and anxious
that that should come about. Let the
western men appreciate the greatness
of the project as petitions for the
passage of the bill for preliminary sur
veys and demand will be met by
prompt action"

o DIVORCE LAWS.

When W. compare the relative num-
her of divorces in the United States
and other countries, it becomes at once
apparent that the marriage tie is much
more loosely regarded here than in
most civilized-and some uncivilized
nations. For instance, according to
a statement recently published in a st.
Louis medical journal, the divorce
rate in Canada is / to 60 1000 mar
riages; in Germany, l to $4,000; in
France, / to 1880; in England, l to
II 500. Now let us turn to this coun-
try. In the United States at large, the
proportion is / to 1876. or sixty times as
many as in England. and more than
300 times as many as in Canada. But
this Is nothing. compared with the sta
tistics of some sections of the United
States. For instance. in Massachu-
sets the rate is l to 1S.S; in Rhode
Island, l to SO.

dams, training them in civilization and
enabling them to provide for them
selves in after life.
1t is an easy ming for a member Of
congress to charge that an Indian
school is improperly conducted. but it
may be a different matter for him to
make good his accusation.
Schools that are removed from the
reservations should not be judged by
those which. being on reservations, are
subjected to numerous evil influences
from which the former are exempt. 1t
is harder to maintain discipline in a
reservation school than in one which
is so far removed that the parents can
not interfere between teachers and
pupils. One reason why such good
work is done at Carlisle is because il
Is far away from influences hat would
divert the minds of the pupils from the
work before them.

INDIAN SCHOOLS.

The charge made in congress that
Indian schools are hotbeds of immor-
ality is vigorously denied by the super
intendent of the school at Santa Fe,
n. NJ, as far as that institution is con-
cerned. We may depend upon it, says
the Denver Republican. that what is
thus claimed for the Santa Fe school
is true of practically all other Indian
schools removed from reservations.
A school like that at Carlisle, Pa.
under Colonel Pratt, is a credit to any
country by which it may be main
tanned. The Carlisle school is as clean
and well disciplined an institution as
any other educational establishment in
the country which is attended by boys
and young men gathered from all
walks of life. 1t is. furthermore. doing
splendid work among the young In

POOR L a

Spain is suffering the agonies of her
war with the United States at this mo-
ment, by the riotous conduct of her
citizens. 1T seems to be a fixed rule
among nations that foreign defeat in
war brings retirement of the authori.
ties in power, while a victorious for
eign war strengthens the hands of
those in authority. No mar al retain
the confidence of his countrymen when
defeated in his efforts by foreign com
petitors. be they business rivals, or EN-
emies in battle. Some of the brightest
intellects and bravest warriors have
been buried in ~obscurity. whom but a
days, an hours success would have
engraved their upon the i'm.
mortal scroll of fame.

GERMAN

The German census. which started
December l, 1900. and has just been
finished, gives some interesting facts.
There are Az cities with a population
between 10000 and 100000 each. In
1916 the German empire had "a, 1888 900
inhabitants: in 1855. 36~,114,000; and
in 1900. 90, $50 900. In the year 1916.
Prussia had 13,709.000 inhabitants; in
1855. 81, 100000. and in 1900, 34,446.
$50. The enormous increase in the
large cities OF Germany is said to he
due to the retrograde movement in ag
riculture. which has driven people
from the country.

What Theodore Roosevelt Saws.

An article on 1.-THE Presidency"
by Theodore Roosevelt, to be pub
lished in the November 9th issue of
the Youths Companion, will be OF
great public interest. When the arti-
Gle was written Mr., Roosevelt had not
even been nominated for the Vice
Presidency.
Nothing was then further from his
thought than that he would so soon
exercise the great powers which are
entrusted to the President of the
United States.
In view Of the circumstances the
article possesses an Importance more
than ordinary, and it will be eagerly
looked for. The number of The
Youths Companion containing it,
and all the subsequent issues of 1902,
will be sent free to new subscribers
from the time their subscription of
Sl.75 is received for the 1903 volume.
The new subscriber will also receive
