ARMY REGARDED
AS UNNECESSARY
Civilians Seem TO Take Little Inter-
est in the Institution.
GEN. AINSWORTH'S REPORT
PLAIN STATEMENT BY THE MIL
ITARY SECRETARY.

Washington, Oct. 29.-Major General
r c. Ainsworth, the military secre-
tary. in his annual report. devotes
much attention TO assertions from the
army. Those who know how the can
teen came 10 be abolished, he states,
are not hopeful Of its restoration; there
is no likelihood of any such increase in
the soldiers pay as will Offset the
greater inducement offered in civil pur-
suits; the comforts and even luXuries
that are furnished to enlisted men in
our service, but injurious in their eff
feet on men whose real business is to
march and fight. encountered with few
comforts and no luxuries; and the
discipline and instruction to which the
soldier is now subjected are not likely
TO be relaxed in future.
'Our people have little real interest
In the army in time of peace and from
the earliest day OF the republic have
been accustomed TO look upon il as
more or less unnecessary institution.
Enlistment in the army IN time Of
peace is not uncommonly regarded as
evidence Of WOrthlessness on the part
of the recruits.
Change Seems Unlikely.
1t is safe 10 predict that desertion
from the army will continue to be eX-
cessive until there shall have been a
radical change Of public sentiment to-
ward the army and until the deserter
shall come to be regarded as the
criminal that he is. to be ostracized
and hunted down as relentlessly as any
other transgressor of the laws There
is no reason TO look for such a change
OF sentiment in the near future, and
there are some who believe that the
change viii never come until our peO-
pie shall have learned, through ma
tiOnal disaster and humiliation. that
the effective maintenance of army of
professional soldiers is absolutely eS-
sential 10 the preservation of the ma
tional honor and life, and that the
trained and disciplined troops of a
modern enemy cannot be Withstood by
hastily organized armies of unframed
or half trained civilians"
Losses During the Year.
The losses in the regular army dur
ing the fiscal year were: Officers
killed in action or died of wounds dis
ease. etc. pa resigned or discharged
20; dismissed, Is: deserted, 3; retired

expiration or term OF service. p, "a; dis

During the year PA battle flags In GUS
tody of the war department were returned
10 the governors of the states in which
the regiments that bore them We're raised.
He says there still remains here 452 or
these flags.
General AinswOrth recommends that
these Union flags be transferred 10 the
United States military academy and that
the confederate flags be given to some
general confederate memorial or histor-
ic association.

the western men might reciprOcate and
cut down patronage in the cast.
There is a possibility, indeed a probable
ity. that President Roosevelt may take up
Richards and request congress TO consol-
ldatG the offices OF register and receiver
at all local land offices. and If he makes
IL a personal matter the president may be

take hold and press the issue. congress

Some Other Reforms.

mission MIR. Richards was instrumental IN
bringing about an agreement on some Of
the most important issues brought up by
the president He heartily concurs IN the
recommendations Of that commission in
both its preliminary reports; he faVora
the repeal of the timber and stone act and
the substitution of some law which will
check fraud and speculation in govern
ment timber lands, and yet enable the
government TO dispose of its timber at a
reasonable rate. Mr.. Richards will also
urge a restriction of the Communication
privilege under the homestead act. will
urge a modification of the desert land act
in 4 manner to reduce the opportunities
for such frauds as have been perpetuated
III Montana and almost every other west
ern state and he viii follow this with
recommendations OF several changes in
the mining laws, TO facilitate mineral en-
tries. and at the same time protect the

opinion that the land laws in their pres
ent shane are antiduated and do not by
any means fit existing conditions. He will
urge that the whole set of land statutes

Some men must be wealthy, and they

Are the Schools at Fault d?

OUR interesting friend. Democratic
GLASSES, has fer Il long time been i'm
pressed with the ira lcquHcv of the pub
lie schools. because graft. corruption and
bribery are familiar topics in the press
of the country, SAYS the Wilmington
Journal.
We wonder what the cpD,itiun would
be if we PAID les nttc"ti~a to public
education, and whether we should be
politically virtuouS if we were totally
ignorant?
There is an idea prevalent regarding
the public schools hiatt is shared by
crude material to be worked into the
finished article. and that in the hands
of the educators lies his destiny. They
cpil make him good. or allow him to
become bad. and they hold that morality
naturally follows intellectual develop
ment.
There is II f'tllacy, or Il half truth, in
each of these propositions. The child is
not mere putty: he has certain innate
Tendencies. talents and deficiencies: and
along with the education OF the schools
go the influences of the world and of
the home. Possibly were the public
schools like orphan asylums where the
only Influences are those of the schools.
their responsibility might be greater
\ good law school doesn't make ii good
lawyer out of every pupil: neither docs
a schGol of theology uniformly graduate
successful ministers. Then why should
we expect the public schools to make the
highest type of man out of every boy
who becomes Il pupil?
We must keep in mind the general av-
eragc, and we mustn't forget that the
schools of example ana the schools of
experience are open every day, working
in harmony with on in olrroSition to the
public schools.
We have great educational and uplft-
ing forccS-the schools. the pulpit and
The press. If all were cultured, honest
and intelligent there would be little left
for these to do. Some Of the seed will
