SURGICAL OPERATION
PROVES BONE WAS AFFECTED,
Belief That the President VIII Now
Speedily Recover-ResuIts Of the
Operation Entirely Satisfactory. n.

Washington, ID. c., Sept. 2S.-Another
operation was performed to-day on the
abscess on the left leg of President
Roosevelt. In the former operation a
simple needle was used to relieve the
trouble, but to-day the surgeons with a
knife made an incision into the small
cavity, exposing the bone, which was
found to be slightly affected.
The Presidents case has been pro-
crossing satisfactorily, but it is be-
lieved by the physician that the far
ther operation made to-day will hasten
his complete recovery. While none OF
the doctors are willing to be quoted,
they give the most positive assurances
that there is not the least cause for
alarm and say that on the contrary
there Is every indication of speedy re-
covery. That the area OF bone affected
Is very slight, and that it will not re-
suit In any Impairment of the Presi-
dents limb, and that there is no evil
dence whatever of any matter THAI
would produce blood poisoning. They
confidently express their opinion tha,
the President will be up In n reason.

stitution will soon be himself again.

DEMoRALIzgD SOLDIERS.
General Funston Says the Army 10
Ruined by locs Of canteens.

Washington, d. c., Sept. oS.-Briga'
dler General Frederick Funston, in his
annual report for the Department OF
Colorado, points out that the percent
age of trials by court-martial of enlist
ed men has nearly doubled during the
past year. He says:
at is therefore plain that there has
been deplorable increase Of offenses
in general and of desertion in particu-
lar. In my opinion there are two prin-
cipal causes for this state of affairs:
First, resentment of unaccustomed lim-
itations and restrictions felt by men
returning from field service to the mo-
notony and routine work of garrison
life; second, the abolition of the can
teen feature of the post exchange.
Since this action was taken saloons of
the lowest type have been established
just outside the boundaries of the vari.
Gus resery ations, their proprletors, in
almost cyeIy case, being unprincipled
scoundrels who leave nothing undone
to debauch the soldiers and obtain their
money.
Being in all cases outside the limits
of any city, the proprietors of these re-
sorts are subject to no municipal or po-
lice regulations and sell liquor regard
less of hours and whether the buyer is
already intoxicated or not. Gambling
Is universal in these dives and they
are frequented by dlssolute women.
The soldier whose desire for n drink
would ordinarily be satisfied by few
glasses of beer in the cantcen Of the
post exchange goes to one Of these re-
sorts and does well IL he escapes be-
fore he has spent or gambled away all
his money, overstayed his leave or en-
gagged in an alteration. AS rule,
the local authorities regard the exist
ence of these places with Indifference
or approval, as 1t causes the soldier to
spend his money in the community. The
efficiency of the army or the ruin of n
good soldier Is nothing TO them. There
can be no reasonable doubt that most OF
the trials by general courts-martial and
summary courts, at least so far as this
department is concerned, are directly
traccable to this cause. Since i have
had command here there has taken
place the ruin and degradation of seven
non-commissioned officers of long serv-
ice and fine record. In short, the re-
cent legislation by Congress on this
question, so far as the department is
concerned, has no effect except to
lower the discipline of the army. ruin
scores of good soldiers and fill the
pockets of a lot of saloonkeepers, gam
Dlers and prostitutes"

But Il should be borne In mind THAI

from nifty TO seyenty-five per cent. Of
the actual expense TO the taxpayers;
while It. of course, shows nothing OF
the enormous amount of money paid

sides. 1t should be remembered that the
election expenses In every county in the
state are increasing very rapidly from
year TO year. BY conservative calcu-
lation l am firmly convinced that from
eighty-fve TO ninety per cent. of the
entire cost of the election In the odd
years can be saved to the taxpayers OF
this state by consolidating the county
and state elections, thereby saving ap
proximately $4,000 every alternate

expense among the larger number. AZ
present, a poor man absolutely cannot
pay the necessary candidates ASSESS
ment, much less respond TO the eSac-
tions of an average campaign.
This feature OF sa, ny OF expense Is
the second main object OF these amend
ments. There Is another feature that
should be mentioned. viz: Our pres
cnt constitution provides for the fee
system for county officials. county
judges and district attorneys, and the
Legislature cannot pass n law to
change II. This amendment makes II
possible for the Legislature to pass a
law. In case public sentiment demands
