The TEN CENT PIECE.

A ten-cent piece, the price of de-
cent cigar, seems rather a contemplate
sum to the average man. It does not
buy much. It is carried In an outside
pocket and spent heed'essly without
notice or regret or handed to a beggar
without thought. 1t is a piece of money
to be gotten rid of carelessly, but the
nickels and dimes filched by promoters
of policy in New York ran into mill
ions of profits for the promoters of the
swindle and an awakened public senti-
ment sent Adams. the policy King, to
Sing Sing for term of years. Now
Chicago. alive to the magnitude to
which so cheap a swindle may attain,
Is endeayoring to strange the policy
lotteries of that city, where profits to
the policy ring are said to run to $4,000
daily, all cozened from that class of the

wrere thousands were wagered on the
turn of card or the final resting place
of a whirling ball in a roulette wheel.
The cumulative force OF the ten-cent
piece is toward millions.
Most great popular movements where
money is needed are supported by the
ten-cent givers. Missionary work in
foreign fields is dependent largely upon
the pennies, nickels and dimes of the
small but frequent contributor ireland
has kept England in a state of watch
fitness and terror for years by means of
an agitation fund founded on the dimes

servant girls and laborers who remem-
bered dear old Ireland. Missions of
every sort are kept alive by this sort of
giving. A ten-cent profit on minor

pany rich. The power of the ten-cent
piece is illimitable.
There is a serious suggestion to every
young man in all shis. An individual
weakest thing in nature, but the life of
the world is built upon and about it, A
ten-cent piece, contemplate as it may
seem individually considered, is the
foundation of great fortunes. Marshall
Field & Co. use more than $50, 900 worth
of one and two-cent stamps annually
and the books of the firm show the loss
of a single stamp.
The immense receipts of the great
city tfactlon companies are paid in
nickels. The profit on a ;,ickel package
of Uneeda biscuits accumulates into an
astonishing total. If the millionaire can
afford to watch the penny stamps and
the ten-cent pieces can the salaried
worker afford to do less? Ii a dime is a
vital element in the waking of the
millionaire, the logic of its effect upon
the establishment of minor business
is easily comprehended. If policy pro-
motors and tin-horn gamblers find the
accumulation of dimes profitable to the
extent of millions. the young man care
less of small sums may ind large sug-
gestivness in the fact. a dime a day
pays the premium on $4,000 of life in
surance in reputable company. In
many instances it is the interest at
per cent on the annual salary of the
young man who eXpends it frivolously.
AT any rate it is interest on more than
5000 at the legal rate and many VEN
lures started with small sums have
grown into magnificent businesses. This
is the day of close economies and care
full expenditures if business success is
to be attained in the face Of our flercely
system. Young man. save
the dimes. There is potency in small
savings.

THE CHARGES AGAINST WOOD,

! The New York Sun and the Spring
| field Republican have been leading an
assault upon General Leonard Wood,
colonel of the Rough Riders and subse-
quent governor of Cuba. In a recent
Sunday issue they published a scandal
lous charge against General Woods
personal character. claiming that he
had directed and had prepared an at
tack upon General Brooke while him.
self a subordinate of Brooke's. The
Republican now explains that these
charges We're based upon Havana let
ter and an editorial published in the
New York Evening Post. The Havana
letter said: your readers will doubt
less remember the once much talked of
article in the North American Review
for November, 1899, entitled American
Misgovernment in Cuba. This was an
attack upon General Brooke, prepared
under General Woods direction. and
which. as is well known, passed under
his own hand before publication" The
rs
editorial in the Evening Post told the
story of General Woods alleged au-
thorship of the article and his punish
ment, under Secretary Roots orders, of
Lieutenant Runcie for writing it at
greater length and with much detail.
showing close acquaintance with the
subject Independent of the Havana cor
respondent.
This explanation by the Republican
places the responsibility and has led
the eastern press loyal to General Wood
to call for proof or retraction of story
evidently intended to embarrass the
present administration. In this con-
nection the New York Tribune very
pertinently says: THE growth of such
a scandal would infiict the greatest
wrong on a brave officer and reflect
upon the whole army. The man who
would do the thing charged is unfit to
be an officer of the United States army. |
If General Wood anonymously attacked |
for it. and punished his tool for the Of
Tense, he ought as we have already |
said, to be court martialed. If enc |
mics and slanderers are circulating |
scandalous falsehoods about him, they
should be exposed. This thing has got |
to the point when it is time for the re-
of ph a n L.
low the injunction of the marriage |
and now speak or else hereafter
forever hold his peace.
SO far as it now appears the New
York Evening Post is the responsible
author of the charge. What are its
proofs? Is its Indictment of General
Woods personal honor and soldierly
conduct based on any definite informa-
ton. or is it mere idle gossip born of
envy and malice? If anybody has
imposed upon Il an atrocious
libel it should hunt him down and vim
licate an officer whose honor nobody
has hitherto dared TO question. If 1t +
can prove what 1t says, II owes IL TO the
army and the country to bring for
ward its proofs and save the uniform
If the United States from disgrace.
Whatever obligation may hereafter rest
upon General Wood to defend his own
,haracter, or on the war department to
protect the army's reputation, if this
story is confined in circulation there
AN be no doubt that the first obligation
'ests with him who first publishes SO
serious an accusation to give with equal
the authorities which justify
lis attack. We look to the Evening
Post for its proofs or It's retraction.
