ARMY sHARPsHoorERs.

The army appropriation bill now be-
fore the House provide for a raise in
wages for the soldiers of the regular
army as they become expert marks
men through persistence in target
practice; three grades OF sharpshoot-
ers being provided for.
This is a recognition of a basic
principle which we bellve will receive
very general endorsement.
Both the Boer and the Japanese
wars demonstrated the value Of good
marks manshlp. Kipling flouted the
English military authorities because
they had neglected to teach better
craftsmanship to the men in the
ranks. telling them they had come to
shame before "a people, few. but apt
in the field" and only were victorious
after they had received the help Of the
colonists-ofawned on the younger

much upon the ability to go through
snowy manouyers in a shawy manner
as It does to shoot quickly and accu
rately.
American armies have always beer
noted for accurate shooting, from the
time of the colonial and revolutionary
soldiers on down. But the frontier

days are not tho shots that they wer'
thirty or forty years ago. The stand

and consistent training, after the arm
Is entered. And to that end 1t Is onl'
natural to suppose that a raise Il
wages Is more conducive TO excelene
than any amount Of medals.

GIVEN A HARD JOLT
Coal Land Lessees in Okla
homa Must Take Their
Chances.

Both the school land lessees in Ok
lahoma and the coal lessees in Indian
Territory have been given a jolt by
the Senate in regard to the preference
right Of purchase. which both interests
desired to have inserted in the state
hood bill AS the Senate has fixed the
measure, the school land lessees have
a preference right to purchase at the
highest bid made at public sale, while
hte coal people have not even that
crumb of comfort afforded them.
The great fight on the part of the
school land lessees in Oklahoma has
all along been for a preference right Of
purchase, which they obtain in this
bill in form only, ard not in actual
fact. They waited the preference
right to purchase at the appraised
value, without any competitive feature
being brought into It, and a vigorous
protest is sure to go up from the
lessees because they have not been
protected in the way they desired
The only protection afforded to the
lessees by the bill as the Senate has
amended it is that the purchaser must
pay the lessee the appraised value o.
his improvements. In one way hC
does not get full value for his improve
ments then, as an improved farm viii
of course sell Cor much higher price
than one which is not improved, an'
in order to take It in himself, th'
lessee must pay as much as the high
est bid made by an outsider. Th'
lessees have by reason of their mum
bers and strong organization alway
been force In Oklahoma politics, an
considerable interest is manifeste'
regarding the effect which this chang
will have on their future course polit
cally.
