General Leonard Wood.

Whether General Woods military ca
reer justifies his promotion is a question
says the outlook, which the public and
We think also the Senate may we'll leave
to be determined largely by his military
superiors. 1t is right, however, to say
that the hostility to him in certain jour
nails has belitted his military services
and done something to create a false i'm
preston respecting them. In 1886 he was
commended by Captain Lawton as the
one officer who had accompanied Lawton
throughout the whole campaign against
Geronimo's hostile Indians, and the high
est praise was accorded to his courage,
energy, and support during the whole
time. his encouraging example to the
command when work was the hardest and
prospects darkest" In 1894 this indorse-
ment was repeated with the statement
that he voluntarily assumed military du-
ties as combatant or line officer in the
most difficult and dangerous work, and
by his determination and courage rem
dered a successful issue of the campaign
possible For his service in this cam
paign he was recommended to be breveted
by Gen. Miles. and subsequently, a con-
gressional medal of honor was presented
TO him for distinguished gallantry In a
letter to the governor of Massachusetts,
Lawton, urging the appointment of Capt
Wood TO military command in the Span
ish War. said of him: II served through
the War of the Rebellion and in many
battles, but in no instance do l remember
such devotion to duty or such an example
of courage and perseverance 1t was
mainly due to Captain Woods loyalty
and resolution that the expedition against
the Apache lndians) was successful"
His military work in Cuba received scarce
ly less approval from Major General JOS
eph Wheeler and Brigadier- General S. B.
NJ, Young Later General Shlfter recon-
mended General Wood as "by far the
best man to leave in command of the
post and prehaps of the whole district"
FINALLY his administration in Cuba received
the highest praise from Elihu Root. secre-
tary of war, whose acquaintance with
the results was derived from a personal
visit to the island.

One Summary of the Whole Common

Not long ago, a minister of the advance

of New York, was explaining his work to
"A visitor interested in the boy problem.
I'VE have a club room" he said,
where our older boys and men play pool
or billiards, or have any game of cards
they like that is not gambling"

not been revised since the rigid days of
her youth, gasped. you don't mean
that you permit those denominations I'M

in the shadow of the sanctuary, one
might say?"
Certainly, madam" was the answer.
I'VE think the devil has had a monopoly
of these amusements long enough. They
are hamless in themselves. The saloon
used them as bait for drunkenness and
vice. We use them to tempt boys back to
morality. We can't fight a devil who
offers shelter, light, warmth and comfort
to those who have none, with good ad-
vice and tracts on a cold street corner"
