ever very rash and impetuous young
man. Born with the proverbial silver
spoon, he had little or no feeling for
rough or seasoned men.
The regiment to which he was at

1t was a crack regiment, comprising
many hardy, brittle fellows who had
seen real frontier soldering and diff
cult Indian campaigning. When the
new young officer Joined the outfit the
men looked him over composedly. He
didn't make a hit with them, but, as is
the manner of enlisted men, they were
willing to wait and see how he would
develop when the trying hours sped
along. Enlisted men love some officers
instirctively and at once. The officers,
however. who gain this sort of quick
and enduring affection are ali men;

If this railroad man is correct the
people are paying two hundred and
eighty million dollars a year to the
corporations on basis of per cent
for something that only exists as
figures on paper. This robbery of the
American people makes it easy for
the railroad kings to purchase rotten
titles in Europe with the millions un-
justly wrung from the tillers OF the

see in a primary election act the loss

with the party ringsters who are their
plant tools, and which would punish
him for advocating national rate con-
