CREATING AN ARMY.

The recent maneuvers of the new
Chinese army, consisting of 10000 men,
is said to have greatly impressed for
eigners by the results attained after
a short course of modern training. This
is the first time that so large body Of
Chinese regulars, armed with modern
weapons and drilled to modern tactics
have been assembled where they could
be observed by officers of European
and other armies. ALI reports as to
the quality of the men represent il as Of
the best and it is stated that the zeal
and aptitude Of the young Chinese on.
GERS, most of them belonging to high
class families, who have been trained
in Japan rim military schools under
japanese professors In China, is remark
able
This is the beginning of the creation
of an army which in a few years may
be one of the strongest in the world
in numbers and as thoroughly disci-
plined as are the soldiers of Japan. 1t
is altogether probable that China will
have, in the not remote future, a force
of half a million men and there is no
reason why they should not make as
good fighting material as the Japanese.
1t is true that the Chinese appear to
have little of the martial spirit and
they seem to know little Of patriotism,
but they are not all towards and GER
tainly some of them love their country.
The creation of large military estab-
lishment will have tendency to stimu-
late among the people both the martial
and the patriotic spirit, while already
there is apparent the influence of ia
pans example. Hereafter the Chinese
viii not have the fear of western SOL
diers they have hitherto felt, the Japa-
nese victories having taught them that
armies Of the white races are not in
vincible. China wants an army for
her own protection and not as a menace
to any other country. She has evidently
come to the conclusion that she needs
strong military establishment to
safeguard her territory, respecting
which some Of the western powers may
still be covetous. The world will watch
with no little interest the progress of
creating a Chinese army. the purpose
TO do which is very plainly shown in
the recent maneuvers.

According to some of the Washing

democratic senators is almost solidly

doubt that what was said by Mr. Roose-

southern trip has very greatly strength
ened southern sentiment in favor Of the
legislation he advocates. This cannot
fail TO have an. influence upon the sena-

not be surprising If at least twenty
five Of them will at last be found sup

be assured, for there will of course be
no difficulty in passing the desired leg
islation through the house. 1t would
seem that the south should be quite as
anxious for this legislation as the west
or any other portion of the country.
That section has undoubtedly as much
reason to complain Of unreasonable
rates as any other and it would be
helped quite as greatly as any other
section by the policy which Mr.. Roose-
welt desires Democratic senators have
an opportunity in this matter to do a
great service to the country.

vINsoNHALcR no THE RESCUE

In a letter addressed to republican
voters Duncan NJ. Vinsonhaler has come
to the rescue of his chief clerk, Charles
Leslie, who wants to be promoted to the
county judgeship. Mr.. Vinsonhaler
starts out with a tissue of falsehoods
and ends up with the barefaced endorse
ment OF Leslie as "a scrupulously hon
est abundantly capable and entirely
worthy candidate" for the most impor-
tant Office within the gift of the people
of this county. The honorable judge
caps the climax Of mendacity and i'm
posture by the declaration that he has
no purpose to serve in seeing Leslie
elected but is supporting him solely be-
cause of his fitness for the position and
personal friendship.
Adopting the tactics of the cuttlefish
that sheds inky fluid to elude pursuit,
Vinsonhaler seeks to becloud the real
issue and befog the people by a deliber-
ate misinterpretation of the law that
governs decedents. He has the auda-
city TO cite chapter xiii, sections pa
and 215. on page T44. of the Compiled
Statutes OF Nebraska. in justification OF
the petty graft TO which the estates Of
deceased persons in Douglas county
have been subjected.
Examination of the statute shows that
it is made mandatory upon the court to
cause the posting of notices, but the law
does not contemplate the imposition of
special charge for this service On
the other hand, Judge VinsOnhaler ig-
nOres the fact that section s, chapter
xviii, of the statutes, requires all fees
collected in connection with his office to
be paid into the county treasury. There
is absolutely no warrant to exact fee
and there is no authority for Mr.. Leslie,
or any of the other clerks, to absorb the
fee. For being a party TO this system

THE COUNTY JUOsESlIP

South Omaha Republican: In view Of the
recent exposure OF the graft in the ONCE

a republican paper. the voters of this
county, should not dismiss II with the usual
''only another of Mr.. Rosewater's personal
attacks upon good citizen" The facts
given by The Bee are indisputable and in
the light of the exposure of the way that
ONCE is conducted should fill all republi-
cans with principle of honesty and work
to elect man to that important office that
has been tried for his honesty and integ-
rity and not found wanting in any Of It's
essential features. The Independent has

Rosewater methods, but In view OF the

STATE PRESS COMMENT.

Fillmore County News: What will we do
with those Nebraska republicans who at
tended the trump" convention at Chicago
and declared against Roosevelt?
North Platte Tribune: The Nebraska
delegates who attended the recent Inter
state Commerce law convention at Chicago
voted against President Roosevelt's plan TO
empower the Interstate Commerce commits
sion TO regulate rates. Fortunately the Me-
braska delegates did not represent the peo-
pie Of Nebraska.
Norfolk Press: 1t was a good thing that
the Interstate Commerce law convention at
Chicago split up into two conventions. The
split gave an opportunity for the masquer-
aders to get. out into the open instead of
fighting the president from under cover.

pretty we'll divided from the goats.

Fremont Tribune; The Nebraska dele
gates TO lne INTERSTATE law Coh-
vention at Chicago were for the most part
seated in the boiling convention, which
convention resolved against the presidents

commission to fix rates, when they are
found excessive. These delegates look

Grand Island Independent Political ru-
mors from washington indicate that the
democratic leaders in the house will put UP
a railroad bill Of their own, to divide the
support to the president, though it is be-
Iieved that at the end, they may support
the republicans It will give the country
an opportunity to see how sincere the dem
ocratic leaders are in claiming that Roose-
welt is adopting their policies and that they
want to help him, in the matter OF a
square deal.
Holdrege Citizen: Nebraska is a strong
believer in President Roosevelt's platform
for a square deal for everyone and as was
evidenced last week before the bankers
convention, II does not take much stock in
the speakers from the east telling us that
we should let the big corporations and the
railroads alone. Nebraskans do not want
10 injure the railroads or the big corpora

YOURS TRULY.

cannot continue a controversy with a
great newspaper and a small-souled, con-
scienceless editor, but once for all, brand
your charges, insinuations innuendoes and
accusations against me as brazen, mali
clous, intentional falsehoods. Yours truly,
CHARLES LESLIE,
Republican Candidate for County Judge.
There is an old adage that no man is
ever lost who travels the straight road.
If the charges, insinuations, innuendoes
and accusations against Mr. Leslie were
"brazen, malicious, intentional false
hoods" he could have ignored them with
impunity, but, unfortunately for Mr..
Leslie, his denials are contradicted by
his own record.
The books in the county court show
that more than 1900 estates of widows,
orphans and heirs have been pillaged by
petty grafters who have pocketed fees
for services which the law requires the
court to perform and for which they are
drawing salaries. Out of the 700 names
Of estates OF deceased persons published
by The Bee Mr.. Leslie's proportion Of
the graft was something over 500.
Every dollar of this money was wrong
fully exacted from the widows, orphans
and heirs, and even if it had been law
fully collected should have gone into the
county treasury and not into the pockets
of Mr.. Leslie.
AS between an embezzlement OF 5000,
600 Of state money and 500 of pilfering
and graft there is no difference in point
of morals, and the fact that this practice
has been going on under the dome Of the
court house for years does not in the
least palliate its Nervousness. In this
estimate the "small-sOuled. conscience

only with the widows, orphans and heirs
