A Wonderful Army.

1t is scarcely to be wondered at that
the military element in Japan wanted
the army to have another 90 at the
Russians. The Japanese have evolved
the most perfect fighting machine the
world has ever known. Whether on
the march, in the camp, on the battle
field or in the hospital, the Japanese
infantry has successfully combated all
the causes which are said to make for
the disintegration of armies. It was
said that the Japanese was an imita-
tion army; that when it came into ac-
tion it could never stand before white
men. But it has stood before white
men, and the most powerful white men
known, and pressed them back steadily.
It was claimed that the Japanese had
borrowed the idea of artillery; that
while they had some long-range guns,
they did not know how to handle them.
The Japanese have shown the white
man several things about the artillery
game. In range-fnding, both on sea
and on land, the Japanese have set a
new pace in war.
But the most marvellous thing about
the Japanese army is neither it's march
ing nor its fighting, tho these excel
anything known before in modern times.
The success of Japanese arms is due
as much to one other cause as to either
of these, and that is the obedience of
the rank and file to orders. An army
surgeon of long experience calls atten-
tion to this one fact as most signif-
cant. The Japanese at home are great
water drinkers. Each man consumes
from one to two gallons Of water a
day. But on the march the Japanese
soldier has absolutely refrained from
drinking Of the springs and rivers of
Manchuria. Wherever there was a
sign put up by the medical department
condemning the water of stream, the
soldiers would let it alone, tho suffer.
ing the most intense agonies Of thirst
This supreme test Of discipline the
Japanese soldiers ON the march, and
eg even in battle, met without finching
The result was that the Japanese hos
pitfalls received only fractional pei
cent Of the number American fel6
hospitals would have received under
similar circumstances.
The Russians could hardly expect te
beat soldiers who would march al
night, fight all day and then lie down
parched with thirst within the sound

appropriated for 1905, not all expended yet.
That makes a total Of $1S4, ,201.3S ex-
pended on the county roads and bridges in
five years, yet it is common talk among
the taxpayers and those who drive over
the country roads, that we have very lit
tie to show for so great an outlay. Is it
not time, they ask, that some different
method be devised whereby the taxpayers
will have more to show for their money?
Other states are devoting a specified sum
each year for stone roads, something
tangible and lasting. Why should not
Hennepin county try the experiment?
In New Jersey, which stands at the head
Of the stone-road states, the cost aver
ages from three to five thousand per mile
according OF width and location, but the
people each year have something lasting
to show for the money so expended. They
have been doing it for a number Of years
and now the state has miles of the finest
stone roadways, extending in every direc-
tl0HI
Is it not about time for the taxpayers
Of Hennepin county to insist that 100000
of the total asked for be specifically set
aside by the county board for stone roads
alone? At the end Of 1906 we would at
least have five miles of permanent, and
practically indestructible stone roads, that
would be an object lesson for years to
come, while the present method produces
very little IN actual results from one year
to another. Now the work has to be done
over and over again, every few years.
If the taxpayers, who are interested in
seeing the county roads permanently i'm
proved, should go before the board OF
| county commissioners and insist that they
specify just how much of this huge sum
they would pledge themselves to expend
J on stone roads, then we would have some
! thing very different from what we have
now, to show for the money, at the end OF
| 1905. This is the time for action along
this line, for those who are interested II

Permanent Road BuiIdlnq,

To the Editor of The Journal.
The first meeting of the board of tax
levy for the year 1905 will be held in the
county commissioners room at the court
house next Monday.
The board will then consider the ex-
penditures for different purposes in city
and county, and decide on the amount to
be raised by taxation in 1906.
The board of county commissioners has
asked that it be allowed to expend, among
other items, $4,000 on roads and
bridges in the county. That is one of
the largest items on the list and one in
which the people a whole are particu-
larly interested, no matter whether resid-
Ing In the city or country. That certainly
is large amount of money and should be
wisely expended, for the people have a
right to demand that they have something
to show for it at the end Of the year.
During the past five years the county
commissioners have actually expended, for
the one item of roads and bridges, the fol-
lowing amounts: #

4 The USES OF ADVERSELY, OR HOW
TO MAKE A LIVING WHEN YOU LOSE
YOUR FORTUNE.-There is a saying
that used to be heard more often than it
is now. It is: "Sweet are the uses of
adversity." While most Of us would pre-
fer to sweeten life with something> else.
there is, In spite of that fact, lot Of
sound philosophy in the saying, and we
are wise if when adversely comes we ex-
tract the sweetness therefrom.
1t is the sanity of the course of Brooke
Lawton, the central figure in At the Sign
of the Fox, by the author of people of
the Whirlpool" when her father loses his
fortune, that compels the attention of the
reader She gets a view of life from a
new angle, and thereafter life means more
to her than it has before. She extracts,
in short, the sweets from adversity. This
is a, concomitant Of a struggle to feed
and clothe the family and the clarified
vision that comes from a sane attitude
toward the initial misfortune that makes
struggle for existence necessary is half
the victory in the struggle. In the story
the other half Is the possession of a farm
that is not lost in the wreck. But for
those who have no farm to begin anew
with, half a victory is better than defeat
without an effort. -. E=. s.
