BLUE BADGE OF HONOR.
President ROoseveIt's Tribute to the
Man In Uniform.


A notable tribute to the American
soldie" was paid by President Roose-
welt in letter to Secretary Taft in
dorsing the action of court martial
which reduced Lieutenant Roy l. Tay-
lor twelve files for unbecoming col-
duct toward an enlisted man of his
command. A sergeant of his company
occupied a seat at a theater in front of
Taylor. At the latter's request or di-
rection the sergeant moved to another
part of the house. The court martial
followed
The president says in his letter, which
is dated Feb 5, 1906:
I'm my judgment Lieutenant Taylor
committed one of the most serious
faults which any officer can commit
l am glad that he was reduced twelve
files. 1t is a pleasure to record the
fact that his offense was altogether ex-
ceptional in the body to which he be-
longs. l know of no other officer who
has ever been guilty of similar miscon-
duct
There is no body of men in this
country of similar size which merits so
we'll of the country as the body of of
ficers and enlisted men in the army
and navy of the United States Not
only should the country as a whole
jealousy guard the interests of these
men and regard their honor as being
identified to peculiar degree and in a
peculiar sense with its own. but the
members of the body should them
selves feel the same jealous eagerness
to uphold the honor and standing of
all connected with it. Above all, this
should be the object of the officers as
regards the enlisted men.
THE more civilized a nation is, the
more honestly DESTROYS it is of secur
ing peace, the greater should be the
care with which it fosters and encour
ages the preservation of the military
virtues among its citizens and in no
way can this be better achieved than
by resolute effort to secure proper rec
Ognition for the enlisted men of the
army and navy. The uniform of the
enlisted man is badge of honor. 1t
entities him to peculiar consideration
It shows that in the great majority OF
cases he has learned those habits of
self command, of self restraint, of ODE
dience and of fearlessness in the face
of danger which put him above most
of his fellows who have not possessed
similar privileges. To strive to dis
crin1inate against him in any way is
literally an infamy, for it is in reality
one of the most serious offenses which
can be committed against the stability
and greatness of our nation. New
York Tribune.

The Silent Grant:

Brigadier General Fred Dent Grant
is telling this story on himself Not
long ago the general was rendered u
banquet, and the POSTMASTER intro
duced him as 1.-The son of the father, iH
likeness. characteristics, stature and
several other ways"
General Grant says he talked along
for a few minutes, and everybody
yawned and seemed to be heartily sick
oc the speech. When he sat down the
POSTMASTER cleared up the smoke, so
the general says, by the following neat
little speech:
You see, gentlemen, General Grant

$500 CLAIM AGAINST CITY.
Ex-MayOr F. v. HOtChkiss Gives Notice
of Claim for OverfIOwage.

F. V. Hotchkiss filed written no.
tice at the city recorders office on
the 18th inst, that he will COM
mence an action against the city
for $500 damages resulting to his
land abutting on the west shore of
the mill pond. In his preliminary
statement he says:
Having now approximately as
certained the amount Of consequent
tial and cumulative damage which
has resulted to me by reason of the
maintenance of a mill pond by the
aforesaid city for manufacturing
purposes, ETC., on my land (here
follows a description of the tracts
within the corporate limits of the
city of Redwood Falls, in accordance
with the laws of the state | here
with give you notice that | will
commence an action in law and
equity against the aforesaid city of
Redwood Falls as the maintainer of
said dam and mill pond to recover
the amount of 800 resulting to
me" etc.
Mr.. Hotchkiss afterwards stated
that he had no desire for notoriety
or trouble, but that, after consult
ing the statutes, he had decided on
serving the notice in order to pro-
tect his legal rights. He insists that
he did not get fair treatment from
the appraisers at the time the dam
was built, and knew nothing of the
S25 allowed him for damages until
it was too late to make a legal ap-
peal. The appraisers assumed that
the property would be increased in
value by the proximity of the lake
as a partial offset to the damage
done by overflow. Mr.. Hotchkiss
claims that the waters are every
year encroaching on his land where
the ice house is located, and that
it will cost several hundred dollars
! to rip-rap the shore so as to protect
that point.
The mayor and city attorney say
that no attention is likely to be paid
to the notice by the council. City
Attorney Dolliff says that inasmuch
as the city neither built nor main
tains the dam, he fails to see how it
is liable for damages in case an ac-
ton is actually begun by Mr.. Hotch-
kiss.
