Engineering as a Profession,

Perhaps no field offers greater OPP
portunity for ambitious young men
than that of engineering. Railroads
are to be built in South America and
Africa. The Panama canal is an
assured fact. Puerto Rico, Cuba and
the Philippine Islands must have rail-
roads, electric light plants, sewer sys-
tens and other engineering works.
Our OWL West is itself a ~stupendous
work for engineering genius. The
material development Of the South will
come in this decade. Power now
wasted will be utilized, mines devel-
oped and railroads built. All this
demands the services of trained engin-
GERS.
Graduates of engineering schools
have no difficulty IN securing good
positions. This year twenty-four men
graduated from our own State Univer-
slty at Columbia, most of them stepped
into positions paying from $50 to 1925
per month the day they received their
diplomas. There Is really no limit to
what they may receive ten years later.
The possibilities Of an engineering
career are attracting many ambitious
young men. The attendance at our
engineering schools is increasing. To
refer to the State University again.
Last year 1874 men took engineering,
this year $50. Responsive 10 this

LETTER FROM WASHINGTON.
Washington, July -, 1908.

Still speaking Of the Missouri delega-
ton in the congress OF he United
States, it will not do to ignore the Hon.
Maecenas +. Benton, OF Neosho, 'the
litlle giant Of tue Southwest" Mr..
Benton belongs to the family of Ben
tons OF Missouri, of which Thomas H.
Benton was the most distinguished
II be were alive today be would be
proud Of the modest little gentleman
who bears his name with honor and
dignity in the national house of repre-
sentatIves. Mr.. Benton is a very poor
windjammer or hot-air merchant He
seldom gets to his feet, but when be
does there is some republican who
wishes be had kept his seat. He comes
about as nigh knowing what he is
talking about as any man IN the con-
gress, and Is one of the ablest orators
in that body. He has had very little
opportunity TO indulge in pyrotechnic
oratOry in thu house, and indeed be
does not care Il do so. He knows, as
does every one else familiar with the
situation, that he is going against the
coolest proposition in the world; that
he nno change a vote on the repub-
lican side of the chamber and that the
democrats who would vote with him
any way are either in the cloak rooms
telling yarns or else writing letters and
will not pay any attention to his re-
marks. If that is not enough TO
put a crimp in any man with oratory
to unload. what would you call #?
Mr.. Benton did. however, submit a
few remarks toward the close OF the
first session of the 9th congress that
both sides of the house listened to with
close attention. He is d member of
the appropriation committee and he
submitted a report of the expenditures
of the first session of the republican
congress that made some republican
eyes become unnaturally visible. His
summary or compilation of the extrav-
agencies of that first session proved
that the republicans NOT only we're
responsible for the first billion dollar
congress, but then for the first billion
dollar session of a congress as the ap-
preparations aggregated over a billion
dollars. Mr.. Benton was compllmented
by having thousands of his reports
printed and sent out by the democratic
congressional committee as one OF its
best campaign documents.
Mr.. Benton is the first man who ever
was discharged from office for "per.
nicious activity" in politics. This
occurred in 1886 when he was United
States attorney in Western Missouri
under the first Cleveland administra-
tion. He was soon reinstated and
served in that capacity until 1899.
There never was a better democrat on
earth than this original .'~offensive
PARTISAN" and his constituents COM
pliment their own intelligence by re-
tanning him in congress.

The Littauer glove contract IS still
agitating the val department and
official Washington. On account of
the peculiar relationship existing
between President Roosevelt and Con-
gresham Littauer, the question is on
the tip of every mans tongue, "What
will Roosevelt do about this latest
scandal that gets close to him?" At a
Harvard College dinner at the Warldorf-
Astoria hotel in New York on the 23rd
1900, Roosevelt declared with pride
and emotion that his closest personal
friend and political adviser was Mr..
Lucius N. Littauer, member of con-
gress from New York. To quote his
exact language; 81 want to tell you
that it Is a Congressman who is my
most intimate personal friend, and who
Is my closest political adviser.
"Who is hep" came from all sides.
"Lucius Littauer, " said Roosevelt.
The laws Of the United States forbid
a member of congress to take any gov
eminent contract. The New York
Sun, a republican newspaper, friendly
to Mr.. Roosevelt, of course, reveals the
fact that Mr.. Littauer, during the
Spanish American war, manufactured
