sufficiently fresh and vigorous to win hard
fought victories, such those of Atbara and
Omdurman. In spite of the magnificent results
achieved by Lord Kitchener in his SOudan cam
paign he was unable to secure the adoption OF an
equally stringent policy in the war in South
Africa Yet the trend of the British army to-
day is all in the direction of abstinence from
stimulants, especially when in the field, and
the phenomenal endurance displayed by the
japanese troops in their struggle with Russia,
as well as their equally amazing immunity from
those siclnesses which in former conflicts have
proved even more deadly than the enemy's fire.

probably a Highland corps, would receive
sailors rations of grog in the form of whiskey
In each instance the experiment went to show
that whereas at first the battalion which had
received an allowance of grog surpassed the
others in dash and in impetuosity of attack yet
began to show notable signs of lassitude and
lack of spirit and endurance. The same mani
festations though in a minor and slower degree
were apparent in the regiments restricted to
malt liquors, whereas the who had been
kept from every kind OF stimulant increased in
staying power, alertness and vigor every day
The result of these experiments led Lord
Kitchener to obtain from the British War

not as luxuries but as actual necessarfes OF lfe
the holiness and likewise the difficulties of the
innovation will be appreciated and it is doubt
full whether any general less stern as discipline
rian, possessed of less force of character than
Lord Kitchener, would have been able to carry
it through. But the scheme fulfilled all his ex-
pectations. Thanks to total abstinence. his men
were able to make forced marches of the most
extraordinary character across the burning des-
ert and under a blazing sun. the heat of the rays
of which can be appreciated only by those who
have lived under the Equator. The Soudan Is
famed for it's deadly climate, which either kills or
prematurely ages the majority of white men who
penetrate beyond it's frontiers. Indeed, it has
often been nicknamed, and with good cause,
too "the man-eating Soudan," by reason of the
number of white lives that it has consumed.
Yet in spite of this, there has never been
campaign in which the English troops have been
engaged where there so little sickness
in this Soudan expedition, where so few men
were compelled to fail out, even on the longest
marches, and where the officers and the rank
and file were got into such magnificent physical
and moral training that they would actually
cover thirty miles of sand with empty water
bottles, without shaking their thirst once from
the beginning to the end of the march, at the
close of which they would still find themselves

at any rate under the influence of powerful
stimuIants rationed out to them in the mis-
taken and old fashioned idea of improving their
fighting qualities.
In the case of hostile operations on land the
same considerations prevail and must weigh in
the balance of victory defeat. The soldiers
shooting, as well his staying power, is i'm
proved by temperance. In these days, especially
with new quick firing rifles and guns, there is
a tendency the part of the troops to ire
wildly and to squander their ammunition at the
outset of the engagement. Indeed, the one OBJ
ject of officers is to keep their men calm, cool
and collected and free from all excitement, so
that they may reserve their fire for the proper
moment and then fire to hit. Moreover, ex-
perience obtained both by means of careful and
exhaustive experiments well as in actual
warfare, has demonstrated the beneficial eff
fects of total abstinence upon the physical en-
durance of the troops. AS far back as ten years
ago Field Marshal Lord Wolseley, at that time
British commander in chief, instituted series
of Investigations into the matter. especially in
connection with the annual manPuvres. One
regiment would be deprived of every drop of

ENCOURAGING WORDS
 FROM CONGRESSMAN
They ars Hopeful of the Defeat of the
 Joint Statehood Bill.

President FulUiler of the board of trade has received number Of letters from senators and congressman in re- sponse to the recent resolution ot pro test against joint statehood, which was sent to every member of congress from the board of trade.
 Senator w. A. Clark of Montana writes as follows: "I received copy of resolutions adopted at the convention in your city May 21, and beg to assure you of my hearty endorsement of the same and of my cooperation with your honorable and very able delegate in congress to prevent the iniquitous measure proposed for the joint state hood of Arizona and New Mexico from becoming a law"
 Senator Frank P. Flint of California writes as follows: "I acknowledge re- ceipt of copy of resolutions adopted by the Phoenix and Maricopa county board of trade in reference to joint statehood. There is considerable senti- ment here at this time in favor of joint statehood for these two territories, but l am in hopes, with the efforts now be- ing made by the people of Arizona to prevent this union, that it may result in Arizona remaining a separate terri tory until such time as she can De ad- mitted as a single state."
 In connection with the statehood matter Major Elwood Hadley has re- ceived a letter from MT. Charles F. Lane of Ft. Wayne, Ind, who hOiGs out a hope that Senator Beveridge may be induced to change his position on the statehood question. Mir. Lane has been taking considerable interest in the question of statehood at the instance of MT. Hadley and a recent issue of the Indianapolis News contains long com munication from him in which he urges that the two territories be left alone for the present and concludes his com munication with these words:
 Tt is true that there has been no general discussion in Indiana of the statehood measure, and very little in this part of the state. But I have never heard a man irdorse the idea and every man I ever heard speak of it is against it and wonders why any mem Der of congress should think of state hood for these territories"

IDEAS
 AT A BARBECUE
How Compromise Was Effected by
 George Brown.

There came near being big Indian uprising on the Maricopa reservation Christmas day. George F. Brown who is considered by the Indians to be their best friend, was able after a lit tie persuasion and arguing with them to avert serious trouble and the affair has now been forgotten. That is. un- less the Indians are still talking of the affair, and if so they are doing it in their most private councils.
 It all came about over d barbecue the Indians. A big 400-pOund beef had been cooked up and spread out ready for the Indians to eat when those on the reservation of the Catholic faith refused to partake of the feast. They said they wanted to take their food off to some more secluded spot and eat it where they were not near to the PTesbyterians.
 It was at this juncture MT. Brown performed his services as peace -mal- CT. He delivered a lengthy talk, eX- plaining to the red men that in heaven according to all the books he had ever read there would be but one big table and all creeds and natiOnalities would eat at the same sitting. If that was to be the case in the world to come he though they might just as well start to following the same custom here and now, and accordingly all eat from the same board. The incident thus ended.

All INDIANS REVENGE

All INDIANS REVENGE-The In dian's spirit of revenge was displayed yesterday in Justice Johnstones court in the case of a reservation Indian by the name of Antonio, who had been arrested the evening before for drunk enness. At the time of his arrest he was crossing the street yelling at a Mexican by the name of MendeZ. The officer thought that MenGez was in some way implicated in the disturb ance of the peace, and he, too. was ar rested. But on an investigation of the matter in court it turned out that he aid not know the Indian and was on bis way home when he was hailed by him. The case of the Indian was then taken up. Tfe denied that he was iGrunk or that he had had anything to drink. The arresting officer said that Antonio was exceedingly drunk. and when Mendez was asked what ne thought about the condition of the In dian, replied that he was very drunk. The Indian glared at him and then admitted his drunkenness and said that he had got the liquor from Men deZ This was sucn q palpable lie for the purpose of getting even with Men dez that the justice gave the Indian ten additional days in the county jail.
