Young Men in Command.

Even those army officers and others
who have special reasons of their own
for opposing the confirmation Of Gen.
eral Leonard Wood as major general
in the army, can hardly fail to appre-
ciate the soundness of Secretary Roots
argument in favor of the promotion Of
young men of proud ability to the very
highest posts in the service. There
is an old saying, "Old men for counsel
and young men for war;" than which
none has been more fully vindicated by
the almost uniform experience of al!
nations, civilized and savage, ancient
and modern.
1t is pointed out by an exchange that
yerv few great battles in the worlds
history were won by men past so years
of age. Unless soldier has won his
spurs before he has attained that age,
it is in high degree improbable, if we
may safely generalize from the facts Of
history, that he will ever win them at
all. The great Won Moltkc tri-
umphantly directed the operations of
the Franco Prussian war when he was
past 65, and he was SO when he laid
down the command of the German
army. Gibbon tells of doge of Venice
who. after he was blind and 81 years
of age, had still the military en-
thusiasm and genius of his prime. But
such cases are rare. On the other
hand, instances of men who became
great commanders while hardly more
than beardless youths are of the COM
monest. Alexander was but SO when
he died, after conquering the world.
Caesar completed the conquest of Gaul
before he was 80. Frederick the Great
had carried to success the first Silesian
war at 80. Napoleon had conquered
Italy at 81, won at Marengo at 81, won
at AusterlitZ at 81, and won at
Wagram at 40, and lost at Waterloo at
46, being the same age at this last
battle as was his conquerer, the Duke
himself, Napoleon surrounded himself
with young officers. Ney became a
general of division at 90 Murat at %,
and Bernadotte at so. Washington be-
gan his military career at 10. and took
command of the American Revolution
airy forces at AZ, Grant rose from the
Sc ro1, 70 hot
of lieutenant general of the army be-
tween the ages of IS and AZ, and Sher-
man was but two years his senior.
Sheridan was only SO when Grant
made him his chief of cavalry. Cen
eral Wood is now 40 years Of age, and
his capacity us commander is we'll
proved.
The deduction from such facts seems
obvious. If the army of the United
States is to be kept at the highest pos
sible standard of proficiency and effec
tiveness, if it is always to be ably COM
manded and led, the way must always
be kept open for the rapid promotion Of
young men Wno snow IL Speclal
aptitude for military affairs. 1t may
be painful to old and seasoned officers
to see young men to whom they have
given orders pushed over their heads to
places which they long have coveted.
and this should never be done unless
the superior ability of the young men
tested by hard service. But in every
case the interests of the army, which
are identical with those of the nation,
should be considered before the wishes
and feelings of it's veterans. no matter
how long a record of service they may
be able TO show.

of the mother of the dead woman.
The good people residing at East
Blaine have been having troubles of
their own, in the matter of purchasing
lot of land for use as grave yard
and church lot, according to the Aroos-
took Pioneer. A year ago matters were
running smoothly. the ground was
located and purchased and contribu-
tions We're made for building a pretty
little church, sufficient for their needs;
some wanted it a union house, while
others did not. Soon strife and discOrd
arose: some kept pulling along straight,
while others pulled sideways, and
others, again, kept throwing trigs under
the wheels, and the project was
stopped. They all wanted the church
built, but they did not all belong to one
creed or church: there was no settled
pastor, and the theology was passed out
by different ministers who would
happen along and hold few meetings
in the Schoolhouse. One would
apparently tear down the fence that the
fellow before him had put up. There
We're arguments, talk and diScord
enough to build number of churches.
Finally they came to the conclusion
that the church was not being built
very fast, and this pulling and hauling
in opposite directions was just such a
condition as Satan wanted to prevent
the building of the church, and it was
proposed to give a contain minister of
the gospel, who claimed a share in the
proceedings, by right of holding meet
ings in the place for some years,
twenty-five dollars to get out and keep
out. The offer was accepted, and
arrangements are being completed to
build the church the coming summer.
Peace and harmony now prevail and
will probably continue, unless some
wandering minister with different ideas
comes that way and makes trouble.
A South Portland man raises this
question: Under Commissioner Garlic
tons application of common law" as
license to the farmer to kill trespassing
wild animals, why won't the law apply
to the sea as well, and give the fisher
man the same right? He says: The
lobsterman bats his traps and sets
them to catch lawful fish. But, 10, the
wild, understood lobster trespasses on
the fisherman's property, crawls into
his traps, eats up his bait and prevents
his getting the legal crop for which he
had planted his traps. Why does not
the common law allow him to kill the
fish that thus injured him, instead of
having to let him go to trespass again
next day?-Lewiston Journal.
Possibly it does, but it does not give
the fisherman any right to sell or eat
4 >l,o LIN LIN
than it gives such right to the farmer
who kills the deer that invadeS his oat
field. And if the lobster fisherman
wants to kill his business he cannot do
it in any surer or speedier way than to
kill off wantonly all the short Holsters
he can get hold off.
