MANY VIEWS GATHERED.

To learn, therefore, how the recommendations
of the President have been received in Ma
tional Guard circles, and what results they
might produce, a canvass OF representative Off
GERS Of the Guard throughout the United States
was made by The Tribune. Practically every-
where it found that Mr. Roosevelt was
supported in the stand he took Men high in
the regular army whose opinions were sought
were even more outsroken in their approval OF
lis views.
Yet when these men were asked how such
weaknesses in the National Guard might be
remedied how its members might be made more
soldierly, they showed the greatest divergence
OF opinion Some. for example, recommended
more maneuv; es for the men such as were held
recently al Manassas. while others condemned
such work as more spectacular than practical -
General Frederick Dent Grant, for example, said
that even though big national mobilization Of
regular soldiers and mlitiamen might cost
nearly 100000. yet it was cheap when COM
pared 10 the gigantic loans that might be made
necessary by the prolongation Of a war for
which the nation was not prepared. Major Cen
eral Roe, commanding the National Guard of
this State, on the contrary says that great mil
itsry maneuvres may do miitiamen more harm
than good. Indeed. Of sixteen representative

I'VE have such a small regular army that you
men OF the National Guard have upon you a
heavy responsibility. Every officer Of the Ma
rional Guard should train his men the whole

should try to train your men so that they can

the relative importance of what il is that the

found practically the whole working
force already assembled. Without
delay he directed that the entireb at
terry of linotype machines be carried
to a vacant lot Immediately back of
the News building, where a hole Suf-
ticiently large to'accommodate them
was dug. Into this hole were also
placed the contents Of the Office safe

After walking about $40 miles

about 10 O'Clock, says last Fridays

to being slightly footsore, but was
high spirited and as active as young

Mr.. Owens is native-born Ken

foot on the old soil again. He left
his home at La Plata, Mo, about
200 miles north of st. Louis. on May
9. and has walked every step of the
way. averaging eighteen miles a day
on his journey, He is a native Of

has served a term as city clerk and
one term as city marshal of LaPlatta

especially through Illinois and Indi-

2vslished an account of the incar-

the law that when an unfortionate
individual was found to be insane
the Sheriff or some relative, at the
discretion of the county judge. was
APPOINTED to carry him to the asy-

passed a law providing for a board
whose duty it is to carry the unfor-
donates to the asylum.
Taking up the subject as introduc-

Messenger deals out the following

Assuming to himself the right to
exercise judicial functions, Chair
man Percy Haley has ordered that
persons adjudged to be insane shall
be held in the county until one of

rageous order caused the detention
of Mr.. Tolbert, a brave Confederate
geteran, in the Jail until one of the
machine made agents could be given
an opportunity to make a few dol
