Engineering as a Life Work.

Il j. a striking fact that gradu-
ates Of Engineering schools have
positions as soon as they graduate,
while graduates in many
other professions Ego begging"
for months before finding a posi-
ton.
In June of this year twsn,y-four
men graduated from the University
of Missouri at Columbia and at
once secured positions. In fact the
demand was not supplied by the
graduates aud many undergraduates
were able TO secure employment.
The expenses OF learning Engi-
neering are no, great. Atthe school
which we have just mentioned,
board, room, Doc ks aud fees vary
fron Saso TO Ssoo year. This is
in many respects as good as engi-
neering school as there is in The
United States and may be taken as
typical OF the cost OF engineering
education.

Here is an original view from the
Marshall (Mo.) Citizen Dem. j.
1--WE think Folk is a born prosecu,-
or, but believe he has the cynical
fault of his trade. and il we should
20 70 see him at Jeff. City, should
he be elected, sud tell him we had
worked in the Democrat harness ali
our life he would Immediately be-
gin to think we were a thief. {"
Folk himself has been a Democrat
all his life. Let the Marshall man
pluck up courage il his hands are
clean.

You bet there will not be a Folk
delegation from this county to the
Democratic State Conviction. The
astuse politicians OF Bates county
will see that their delegation is in
the band wagon with a seat right
up by the driver. and win push on
the lines vigorously. Their first
choice is Cook, but IL Cook fails to
be candidate, then It's CAN'T or any

they will tear their shirts. burst their
belly bands, and bawl themselves
hoarse for him and swear by all the

Washington Letter.

President Roosevelt has just an
nouneed with many expressions of
regret, the resignation of Secretary
Root which takes effect January 1.
The Secretary has, meanwhile, sail
ed for Europe, where he goes to
take up his duties as member of
Alaskan Boundary Commission.
Accompanying the admirable letter
of resignation which Secretary Root
sent to the President and the Presi-
dents complimentary aeeeptan ce
comes the information that Judge
Taft, Goyemor-General of the
Philippines will succeed Mr.. Root
as Secretary of War and that Vice
governor Luke E. Wight will sue
eeed Judge Taft as GoYernor Gene
raj OF the Philippines.
Judge Taft's appointment as
Secretary of War is regarded as an
admirable selection and one c alcula
ted to be one of the greatest bene-
fitto the administration and to the
Philippins whose interests the form
er Governor-General will be able TO
present with the utmost accuracy in
the White House counsels. 1t is
generally believed that in accepting
the portfolio Of war, Judge Taft is
making a considerable personal sac
riice. As Governor General of the
Philippines he enjoyed a salary and
perquistes which at least met his ex-
penses while as a member Of the
cabinet in Washington he will be
put to expenses far in excess Of his
salary as Secretary of War. The
appointment Of Judge Taft TO this
position is taken TO mean that the
President will favor the retention by
the War Department Of supervision
over Philippine affairs for some
time TO come. Notwithstanding the
tact that there Is an ayowed desire
on the part OF some members Of the
cabinet to have the administration
of the islands divided among their
various departments.
The appointment Of General Luke
Wright to succeed Governor Taft is
regarded as characteristic Of the
President. General Wright is
democEat aud served throughout the
war as Confederate soldier, but
he has proven his executive ability
and has manifested thorough SYM
palhy with the policy Of the admin
istration in the Philippines so that
Mr.. Roosevelt tslt that IL would be
dificuItto End man equally able
TO further the welfare OF the most
important insular possessions OF the
United States and the Generals
political affiliations were not taken
into consideration.
The promotion Of General Wright
to Judge TRits position leaves a va
casey on the Philippine Commission
and those who make predictions say
that il will be filled by Minister
Conger, now representing the Uni
ted States at Peking. This srran-
cement would make il possible Tor
Roosevelt to fulfill ,hs pledge OF
President Mckinley who. several
years ago, promised the Picking
post 10 William w. Rockhill, now
illing the position Of Secretary Of
