MUST LET UP ON MILES
PEOPLE TIRED OF NAGGING AT
GENERAL OF ARMY
Local Members of National Guard
Are Firmly Convinced That Miles
Has Not Had Proper Treatment
From the Administration Crowd.

Yesterday in T h e G. ob a promi-
net Grand Army man was quoted con-
corning the feeling among the old sol
dieIs in relation to Gen. Miles. Yester-
day a well known member Of the ma
tional guard was asked what the feeling
Of the younger soldiers" was in rela-
ton to the matter, and replied by hand
ing the following from the National
Guardsman, the official organ, written
by a Minnesota man.:
The public has been surfeited of late
with the trouble existing between Pres
ident Roosevelt and Secretary Root on
the one hand and Gen. Miles on the 9TH
er. In fact, this never ending squabbe
has become an intolerable nuisance, and
the longer it grows the more nauseating
it becomes.
The president and secretary of war
seem to assume that Gen. Miles is a dis
turber and should be suppressed: that
he is continually pursuing a policy Of an
tagonlsm against the administration.
Ihls has by no means been proven, but
II it is so, why is it the president hest
tates to retire the general? Certainly
If he has right on his sIue and can back
up his position with indisputable evil
dence, the people would sustain him His
failure to act in the matter leads the
public to believe that he is far from sure
OF the business of his position.
10 be continually putting Sights upon
the general is humiliating to the presi-
dent and far from pleasant to the people
who made him the commander-in-chief
OF the army and navy. No man should
command the armies Of the United States
who is unworthy of the high honor, and
If Miles is unworthy he should be retired.
On the other hand, if he is being per-
secuted by the war department, as the
public is beginning to believe, it is time
for Mr.. Roosevelt to call halt. Inc
people. will not view kindly a reign of
despotlsm in Washington, nor will thew
long quietly submit to seeing gallant
soldier repeatedly snubbed and publicly
Inundated without just cause
Miles has spent his life in fighting the
pattles OF his country, and his high rank
and eminent services entitle him to con-
sideration. If there is any reason why
this consideration should not be extend
the facts known and retire him: but, fail
ing this, Gen. Miles should be allowed to
command the army in fact as well as in
name.

CONDENSED MILK TRADE
MINNESOTA WILL SOON CONTROL
INDUSTRY IN NORTHWEST
St. Paul Capitalists Will Establish
a Number of Factories, of Which
Minnesota Now Has but One-In-
spectOr White Says There Is 81
Great Future for the Industry.

Local capitalists in st. Paul are inter
Nsting themselves in the project of the
establishment of condensed milk factories.
There is at the present time only one
condensed milk factory in the Northwest,
and as Minnesota and other Northwest
ern states produce grass that makes the
finest milk to be found in the world, from
all indications the new project should be
a moneymaker from the start
One of the promoters of the new enter
prise stated that the matter had been call
ed to his attention through the press COM
mittee Of the st. Paul Commercial club,
and that upon investigating the condi-
tons he was surprised to find that fac
tories had not been established before.
I'VE propose" he said, Ito put in the
latest and most improved machinery. We
are now contracting for a regular supply
of milk, and within short time hope
TO be furnishing a Minnesota condensed
milk to the mining regions of the North
west, which Will be uneXcelled for quality.
Prices wiz probably be lower than on the
Eastern article"
IN the mining districts of the North
west the use of condensed milk is almost
universal. In one district alone the daily
consumption is 1900 cans. Trainloads of
canned milk come into all parts of the
Northwest, a large percentage Of which
is from Illinois or New York city. Milk is
sent 800 miles to New York, and after
being condensed and canned is shipped
600 miles to a market passing en route
a country that is famous as The Bread
ana Butter State"
State Dairy Inspector B. D. White says
he is convinced that there is great op-
pOrtunity for condensed milk factories in
this state, as the Minnesota milk is rich
in solids, and therefore most favorable
for such purposes. He predicts that with
in a few years there will be a great
number Of such factories in Minnesota,
and that those who first take advantage
of the natural opportunities offered Will
reap a rich harvest.

William G. Smith, the well known Min
nesota educator and editor of the Mime
sofa School Journal, is very enthusiastic
over the proposition to make state edu-
cational exhibit a permanent feature of
the Minnesota state fair In his travels
throughout the state he has agitated the
question in many counties and has discov-
cred that the sentiment is unanimously in
favor of such an exhibition All of the
school men of Minnesota favor it. Gov.
Van SAINT has gone on record in favor of
the movement, as has also State Superin-
tendent j. w. Olsen.
Mr.. Smith says that he is confident that
in the very near future there will be an
educational building of prententions at
the state fair grounds and that every fair
will present the inspiring spectacle of
eighty-two counties competing in friendly
rivalry, which will result in a great bene-
fit and stimulus to education in Mime
sofa.
Mr.. Smith believes that it would be a
splendid thing if every school teacher in
the state were to become interested and
arouse enthusiasm among her students to
produce their best work to exhibit at the
state fair. If an educational building was
erected at the fair grounds the educa-
tional interests of the state would feel
more personal interest in the fair and
would contribute generously to its sue
cess. 1t would not be confined to the work
Of pupils in the public schools but to
the work of the university, the normal
schools, the agricultural college, the
schools for the deaf and dumb and blind
and feeble minded
Already in several counties the county
superintendent have offered prizes to the
school which shall do the best work dur
ing the year. If there should be a state
educational exhibit at the fair this fall
the best work from each of these counties
would be sent and the effect of the friend
ly rivalry would be to stimulate counties
to do better work in order to keep ahead
| of their neighbors if possible.
