OUR "RoTTEN" ARMY.

The American soldier is being
quite past the German officers com.
Erehension. Every little while somo
military German visits us, looks at our
men swinging easily In campaign uni
form through a drill, and returns to
his own country with the report that
the American army is nothing but
mob of tramps. Evidently the "Neue
Preussiche Kreuzzeitung." an impor-
tant Berlin paper, has based upon
such reports as these its announced
opinion that the American army Is
rotten"
Against this Judgment the secretary
of state saw fit to reply. He points
out to the Germans that, in spite Of its
remoteness from the Prussian stand
ard, our army Is really quite fit for Its
purpose, which is to serve as a nu-
cleus for our national defense. Wheth-
er we do we'll or ill, we have nothing
that can be truly called standing

do without one. But we have some
sixty thousand regular soldiers who
are nowhere eXcelled in physique. in
courage, or in individual resource

That Hamilton Drew

New York, Nov. 24.--It was shown at
todays session OF the legislative insur-

George w. Perkins, member of the
firm of J. p. Morgan G. Company. and
vice president of the New York Life
Insurance Company had received pro-
fits amounting to $4O,"0v on loan of

demanding from Inquisitor Hughes the
name of the informant, which MIR.
Hughes denied. finally said that he
believed that Mr.. Perkins had used
money to swell the fund known as
"Nylic"-which In the New York Life
is used in rewarding agents for re-
suits obtained.
Earlier In the session Mr.. Hughes
drew from the same witness the ad-
mission that Andrew Hamilton. OF
Albany, had received $4,000 direct
from ]. p. Morgan C Company, which
amount represented the company's
share in profits cn In interest In the

day it is believed that ]. Pierpont Nor

the Value OF Old Men.

America Is the young mans country,

conspicuous figures among. us are
young men. The thing is said conven.
tionally, as II there were some moral
virtue In being young; as IL, too, the
greatest tragedy In American history
was not the death some forty years
ago of a half million men In the
prime of life, which deprived our
generation of its wisest counsellors.
Experience Is the only school which
gives degree honored of all men,
and a man Of three-score, with the
vigor of life still in him, should be
the most useful citizen of a communi

SENATOR FORAKER
FoRMULATEs ANTtAoMiNisTRA
TtoN RAILROAD RATE GILL.
Ohio Man Would Make the Interstate
Commerce Commission Purely an
investigating Body.

Washington, Nov. "a The first anti
administration railroad rate bill has
been formally made public. ks au-
thor Is Senator ]. b. Foraker, of Ohio.
1t is Understood to be satisfactory to
the railroad interests which have been
opposing any legislation looking to-
ward giving the interstate commerce
commission the power to fix rates.
While other members OF the committee
who object TO that extension of power
are preparing bills intended to meet
the present situation without going
to what they characterize as the limit,
it is said that they would agree upon
| the Foraker bill il it should prove
attractive to the regulation adherents.
The Ohio senator wishes the inter
state commerce commission to aci
purely as an investigating body, and
he wouIu give 1t po"er TO examine the
books of the railroad companies. He
would have the complaints of ship
pers, no matter how informal, inves-
tigated by the commission. Upon prob
able cause being shown, suit is to
be begun and heard at once In the
circuit court having jurisdiction, I'm
mediately upon the complaint being
certified to the attorney general. The
railroads are given the right Of ap-
peal, but this Is not to suspend the
judgment unless the court trying the
case or the supreme court so orders.
The senator believes that this meth
cd will give quick and beneficial re-
suits, because the entire action is tc
be conducted at government expense
relieving the shipper entirely of flnan'
cial responsibility.
Another provision prohibits the car
rying of freight that Is to be exported
or freight that has been imported OF
through rates, less as to the rail por
tion of the charge than is exacted fol
the carrying of similar commerce be
tween the same points, unless the car
riage be In ships of American regis
try.
He declares that the present system
largely nulifies the protective tarif
duties, without any compensating ad
vantages to American industry.
The bill prohibits the giving Of re
duced passenger transportation excep
excursion OF mileage tickets, and =
indigents, ministers OF the gospel. in
mates of hospitals. eleemosynary an
charitable institutions, and railroa
officials and employees and families.
