The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1906-03-02

1t is small wonder as things are that
ahe regular soldier of Uncle Sans es-
tablishment is now and then out Of
touch with the spirit Of the people anu
deplores the want of sympathy with
the profession OF arms which seems
manifest in the country at large. The
professional soldier desires to see an
IDEAL military establishment kept for
Its own sake. Recently Lieutenant
Colonel J. S. Petit, L. S. A, presented
an army view of the military problem
in an essay read before the Military
Service institution. Briefly this sol
dier declares that monarchy is nee
essaly to the building up of an army
because the very essence of military
strength is one man power"
The arguments put forth by Colonel
Petit tend TO show that the ideal army
cannot exist along with democratic in
stitutions. Doubtless that is true III
so far as fine military establishment is
concerned. We are practical people
and cannot forget that when called
upon in the past the busy yeonanry
and industrial classes have somehow
kept the old flag flying and can be re
lied upon again in an emergency. The
colonel says that today our patriotism
is largely of the lip" But in spite of
the fact that the country was deafen-
ed in 1861 with that kind of noise we
put in the field as efficient an army as
ever was mustered by any monarchy
in modern times. We saw in those
DAYS and have since seen great military
monarchies grooming under the bur
dens and influences of army establish
ments kept up TO overawe neighboring
nations-in other words, as a bluff
This country has no need for that form
of expedient.
Our regular army is not perfect
perhaps for its present purpose nu-
cleus for the larger force to put in the
field when called for. 1t could be i'm
9roved in its personnel by having q
closer touch with the people. The regu-
lar recruit should not feel that in join
ing the army for few years he is
abandoning his place in the social and
industrial world, but should hope td
return to it without having lost his al
vantage. All his ties should be kepi
up ana the soldier be, in fact, a citizeI
in uniform. Soldiers cOnscripted IL
monarchial armies are looked upon as
subjects borrowed from civil society
for a term of years, to be returned fht
better in every way possible for theil
army service The state is interested
in the general progress Of the conscript
for it may need him again Surely
republic might be equally solicitoui
for its volunteer soldiery.

Policing Public Grazing Lands

Lack of government control of the
grazing on public lands is held to ac-
count for the ruination of acres of
forage by the public lands commission,
whose report was recently given out
Overgrazlng is the chief evil, and this,
the commissioners think, can be easily
remedied, and some open ranges where
the plants have not been eXtirpated
may be restored. Some tracts are de-
clared beyond redemption.
The reforms advocated by the com
mission include the setting aside Of
certain districts as grazing reserves,
the appraisement of lands, the estab-
fishing Of a system of fees and of police
regulations. Free grazing is believed
by the commission to be destructive Of
the pastures, Fenced tracts have i'm

Free Delivery Defends Itself.

There may be some truth behind the
attack made on rural free delivery by
General Rush c. Hawkins in the North
American Review, but in any event
there seems no good reason for discred-
iting the system because of its origin
or the methods by which it has been
built up. General Hawkins scores it
as a political raid on the treasury and
a movement not called for by the pub
lie. Ii seems ridiculous to assert that
the people to be benefited did not want
a more rapid delivery of the mails into
their hands. That the government
would undertake to solve the problem
by carrying the mail to the very doors
of the isolated inhabitants was toe
good to believe.
Even though the rural free delivery
costs more than it earns, the same was
true Of the whole postal system for
years, and yet the government kept on
improving it, Free rural delivery is
an aid to the general development of the
land. 1t surely was one sided progress
to establish mail communications be-
tween the inhabitants of cities over a
thousand miles apart every twenty
four hours or oftener and put off the
farmers living within twenty or thirty
miles Of those same cities with tri-
weekly mail or compel them to do their
own carrying The rural delivery
scheme is vast one and may be i'm
perfect. but the country believes it to
be worth the money it costs as a gen.
eral proposition

Our Wandering Compass.

That Captain Amundsen's adven-
ture in the arctic region has produced
scientific results absolutely unique IS
the opinion of Dr. William Hallock of
Columbia university. For two years
the persistent Norwegian "camped
near the trail of the magnetic pole.
and the successful observations report
ed by him, DR.. Hallock declares, are
treasure without price Writing
" the practical value TO science of To-
.ating the magnetic north pole, the doc
tor says:
For generations literature has taught
rs to look upon the magnet in its fidelity
10 the pole as a type of constancy, and
imaginative lovers have sworn to be as
faithful to their ladylove as the magnet
10 the pole Unfortunately, the behavior
# the magnet like that of too many or
the lovers, is not above suspicion. and II
we look into il too carefully we find that
no more unsatisfactory sample of con-
stancy could be found than the mari
ner's compass" In general 1t points al
most anywhere but north, and its indi-
cations vary from moment to moment and
from year TO year. 1t may come as sur
prise to many that the compass does not
point true north in but a few places on
the surface of the earth, but such is
nevertheless the case. For example, the
only places in the United States where
the indications of the compass are cor
rect are those lying along a narrow and
irregular belt running a little west OF
north, wandering along from about the
point where the boundary of North and
South Carolina leaves the Atlantic,
thence up through Ohio and on into Can
ada Even these places. which have no
declination'' today, viii be off the belt In
the near future, and thus nothing is cor
rect or constant Rather a bad example
to hold up to lovers.
This authority adds that it is of the
utmost importance that the magnetic
survey of the whole world should be
carried out completely, both as TO local
tiles and as to variation, from year to
year. Many nations are prosecuting
| exhaustive surveys on land and sea
to gather information which will serve
the mariner on sunless day and a
starless night and give the scientist a
better insight than at present into the
/ peculiar condition and behavior of the
magnetic forces of the earth.

New National Forest Rules.

One of the most fruitful Of the neweS
regulations governing the use Of the
products of the national forest reserves
is the provision which enables the smah
user Of timber 10 procure what he
needs promptly. Before this provision
was made every would be purchaser
of timber. regardless of the amount he
desired. was forced to wait for refer
ence Of his application to Washington

There are fifty applicants for small
quantities of timber to one applicant

over. This sort Of small business is
constantly on the increase, both abso-
lutely and relatively to larger business,
and there can be but little doubt that
the regulations on which it is based
may be counted among the chief causes
which have so much strengthened the
sentiment in favor of forest reserves
and their administration in the last
few months. Rather a striking fact
which has developed is that simulta-

Feed the Sheen Sale

1t is very desirable that sheep should
be kept so tame as to be easily caught
and handled, and the weekly sailing is
a powerful aid in making the sheep
docile. The salt may be dropped, in
small handfuls, on the sod, or put into
small boxes kept in the field. If the
salt is dropped on obstinate weeds, or
tuft of coarse grass, the sheep will
eradicate them, and better heritage will
take the place. With a little time spent
each week in letting the sheep eat from
the hand, or the dish, the whole flock
can be kept very tame, and the time
will be amply repaid whenever it is
necessary to move the sheep to other
pasturs, or to catch any for other pur-
poses.

FEEDING APPLES AND PUMPKINS,

Experiments Showed Good but E<psn-
sive Gains.
Farmers generally regard pumpkins
highly as fall pig feed. They are sue
culent. palatable and nutritious, and,
properly fed, give profitable returns.
Experiments at three stations where
the utility of cooking pumpkins was
studied show that the practice added
little to the efficiency of the ration.
The gains from feeding were good in
all cases and economically produced.
Pigs fed on raw pumpkins and grain
showed gains at a cost of 262 pounds
of grain and 376 pounds of pumpkins
per 100 pounds of gain where the pump
kins were fed raw. and 222 pounds OF
grain and 1850 pounds Of pumpkins for
each 100 pounds of gain when they
were cooked.
Another test at the same station with
a ration of cider or windfall apples and
pumpkins, equal parts, cooked, showed
good but expensive gains, the high cost
being attributed to the apples.

to carry on the business. The fitness
must consist of untiring energy. per-
severance and a reasonable amount of
discretion and financial genius, with a
natural inclination to pay careful at

fitted for the business must go proper

NEW RADiUM CURES.

Marvellous Results From Use Of S0lu-

The new idea in the medical world
that radium coatings will cure cancer
GUS grOwths and will kill tuberculosis
was informally indorsed by the Homeo-
pathic Medical Society Of the County
of New York recently, says the New
York World.

subject New Methods Of Applying

said radium exerts a destructive ef-
feet upon diseased tissues to a high
degree This has been established by
a large number of reliable Investigate
ors. He continued:
"a man eighty-four years old. at

which have been arrested by the ra-

exposure better results can be obtain

cancers. We know SO far that lip and
tongue cancers have been allevia ed.
In some cases at the Flower hospital

Through the experiments, he said,
solution was finally discovered Of ra-
dunn bromide and gelatin which, while
having all the properties of pure ra-
dunn, could be used to coat rods of
celluloid or solid rubber. These rods
were then injected into the radium So
luton and afterward into the diseased
tissues.
