Department of Dakota is not, as some
may think, continual round of pleas
ure. Since the department was Gre
ated it has been continually enlarged
and now includes eight posts spread
over distance of 1,065 miles.
Posts of the Department
The posts of the Department of Da-
kota are as follows, according the order
established Fort Smelling, Sept. 10,
1920; Fort Keogh, Aug. %, 1876; Fort
Missoula, June, 1877; Fort Meade,
Sept. 1, 1878; Fort Assinniboine, May
8, 1879; Fort Yellowstone, Aug. 20,
1886; Fort Harrison, Dec. 10, 1892;
Fort Lincoln, June 10, 1899.
Distributed among these forts Gen.
Kobbe has under his supervision TWEEN
ty-one troops of cavalry, two corps of
artillery and twentyfour companies Of
infantry, this meaning one full regi-
ment of cavalry and nine troops of an
other, two field batteries of artillery
and two complete regiments Of in
fantry -,t
For all these soldiers and these posts
Gen. Kobbe is the business manager
of the war department. He directs all
but the routine affairs of the different
posts and each post reports to the
commanding general for orders. From
Gen. Kobbe's office come the orders
for and appointment of general court
martials, orders granting leaves of alb
sence for more than seven days, Or
ders for transfers and hundreds Of
other orders, some important, others
relating to routine.
Aside from the affairs of the army
posts, Gen. Kobbe has in his Depart
ment eighteen Indian agencies. These
agencies are scattered throughout
Minnesota, Montana and the Dakotas.
Some idea of the watchful eye that
this commanding officer must keep,
through his subordinates, scattered
through the department, may be gained
by the statement that the area Of
the reservations totals at 289,239 acres.
Fort Assiniboine in Montana is the
largest, with an area of reservation of
100000 acres. Fort Yellowstone is the
smallest post, the reservation area be-
ing but twenty eight acres.

this time Gen. Brook was ordered to
active service and until June of the
same year the affairs Of the depart
ment were directed by the secretary
of war and the commanding general
of the army.
June II Gen. James F. Wade was
ordered to the position. Col. John M.
Bacon, on becoming a brigadier gen.
eral, succeeded Gen. Wade, but later
Gen. Wade returned and directed the
department until Gen. Elwell S. Otis
was ordered to combine the depart
ment with his other work. Gen. Wade
was advanced to a major generalship
and made commander of the division
of the Philippines.

departments work from his offices in

Will the Duties Go Down?

WASHINGTON D. c., Nov. 2S.-For
some time the president has been dis
cussing with members of congress the
proposition to reduce the duties on
Philippine products coming into this
country to so per cent of the Dingley
law rates. Considerable opposition has
developed to the suggestion, arising
principally from congressman repre-
senting sugar and tobacco states. They
mtaintain that if only so per cent of the
Dingley rates are levied on sugar and
tobacco the industries represented by
those products in this country will be
impaired seriously,

Want Better Police Protection.

One of the first tasks undertaken by
the organization was the securing of
better police protection for the west
end Of the ward. But one patrolman
covered the territory from Tuscarora
street to Western avenue The patrol
was such long one that the members
of the association felt that the protec-
ton thus afforded was but little bet
ter than none. The committee on fire
department and police was instructed
to interview Chief O'Connor in regard
to the matter. No complaint was made
against the patrolmen, for their serv-
ices were faithfully performed, but the
committee urged that so large a dis
trict demanded the services of another
officer and asked that an additional
one be detailed for duty. The members
were informed, however, that on an

Marshall Field, the great mer.
chant of Chicago, in speaking of
crime, has the following to say.
"Certainly The weakest point
in the government in the country
today, and the one that is destin-
ed to bring us the greatest trouble
unless we have an imme diate
change, is the enforcement of law.
The trouble is that the young peo-
pie of the land are growing up to
have no respect for law and or
der: and why should they have
when hey are not made to re-
spect il! There is nothing we
need III this country SO much, |
repeat, rs respect for the honest
enforcement of the law affecting
every citizen, and when laws are
found to be bad they should he
repealed" The good Book says,
"Words titly spoken are like ap.
pies OF gold in pictures of sill
v,r."
All of that is very true, but it
does not go far enough. The
real trouble begins ct home,
where there Is now entirely too
much of "soaring the rod and
spelling the child" Parents
seem to he actually afraid of their
children and tie child rules the
parent in many, many cases. The
consequence is that the child
grows up unbrldled, self willed
and without self-control. That is
the root of the evil. Children
who are reared that way and who
have no respect for the authority
of their parents, will not respect
the law when they become men.
