Army and Circus Methods.

A couple Of army officers who spent SONS
time accompanying one of the large circus

Of the methods could be adapted to army
use have reported adversely. They found
the system and discipline admirable. but
the equipment too heavy and the suDsist-
enco not suitable to army needs. This hnd-

may be an open question whether 1t would
be possible for the government to adopt
circus methods In moving troops and other
work. There is no question. however. about
the impossibility Of the American circus
ever adopting army methods.

ANOTHER VIEW OF JAPAN.

Another and somewhat different
view of Japan is furnished by Mr..
Thomas F. Willard, the author of
The Far East" who paints a picture
of the people of that nation which is
far from fiattering to them, and d.
rectly contradicts opinions that are
now generally held, in this country at
least. Mr.. Willard declares that ever
since the commencement of the Man
churian war the Japanese government
has fostered a propaganda whose OBJ
ject has been to mislead the nations
of the Occident regarding the real con-
ditions in Japan. He says that foreign
correspondents and special writer's
are deliberately deceived, and that
the crafty Japanese are just as cum
ming in their trickery as their neigh
bors, the people of China, Foreign
ers, as a rule. so he declares. see on

FOR THE THINKING VOTER,

The question of whether or not a
man shall be nominated for position
of public trust depends largely upon
whether or not he will use his posi-
ton to bestow upon his political
friends public favors, in the distribu-
ton of which the law has given him a
somewhat discretionary power, upon
the theory that a man who seeks
place of such character will be so
reputable in his private life that there
will be no need for hedging him with
restrictions which would more aptly
apply to the criminal than to the
statesman and the patriot.
But the opportunity exists in many
places where the man in an official
position is able to control for his
friends contracts at such prices that
the excess beyond reasonable re-
muneration becomes robbery OF the
tax payers of the state. 1t is the
policy of the law that all work done
for the state shall be zone in the same
manner that it would be if the state
were merely an immense business con-
Germ. That means that no man would
knowingly be allowed to charge more
for public work than it would be worth
~ Y Legitimate business deal.

are able to get eXtortionate prices for
public service.
No man in an official position can
by his acquiescence in or by his con-
niving at these things turn them over
to himself. The attempt would be too
VIGOROUSLY coarse, and the public
could not possibly be deceived. 1t is
therefore evident that the man who is
seeking to loot the public at the en-
pense of the tax payers would not ac-
cept the Office himself, but prefer that
1t go to man who would extend the
favors of the official position to him.
This is the only opportunity there
can possibly be for what is designated
in this age by the term grating. The
tax payers who suffer from the results
of such work are the ones who are in
terested in seeing that in the selection
of officials no countenance is given to
the claims of those who are seeking to
foist upon the public those whom the
i people do not know and have not had
an opportunity OF investigating. An
honest man would submit his claims
to the people at least sufficiently long
in advance OF the time they are re-
quired by law to make their selection
to give them an opportunity to in
vestigate their public records and acts.
and to ascertain if there were any
political relationships which would in
tluence the candidate in the distribu-
ton of public favors should he be
elected.
The man who is not willing to do
this is seeking to get into office for
some unworthy purpose or else he is
possessed of a record which he dare
not permit to come to the light of day.
1t is the duty of the tax payers OF
the community to calmly and dispas-
sionately consider these things to the
end that they may honestly determine
the merits of the people seeking the
public suffrage and that the govern
ment may be in the hands of those
who will administer it in the inter-
ests of the whole people.

which may be had for the simple ask

on both counts. But the Herald pub
Usher is painfully aware that, in this
instance at least. the falsehood rests
wholly with his own pharisaical sheet.
Does he desire irrefutable proof of the

stated it is his for the asking.

The Herald, for want of better
defense of the reprehensible acts of
it's ''unco guide" publisher, continues
to reiterate the assertion that neither
Winship nor Spalding "are candidates

the artful dodger of the Herald have
the effrontry to deny that both of the
above named worthless are at the pres

tempt to create political machine
which shall be under their absolute
domination? OF course, for reasons that
are obvious, they will not be candi-

their efforts to create machine prove

THE TRUTH OF THE MATTER.

The Herald's Washington cor
respondent, doubtless following in
structions from the home office, I'M
dertakes to make it appear that Sen
ator Hansbrough's public service cor
poration tax bill for the District of
Columbia was not understood by the
committee; that it was rushed through
the committee in thirty minutes, and
that the members of the committee did
not know that it contained {. tax pro-
vision. In its effort to discredit Sen
ator Hansbrough the Herald casts a
serious reflection upon the intelligence
of the committee by saying that they
did not know what was in the bill.
The fact is there was not a single
member of the committee who did not
know the full import of the measure.
1t was reported 10 the senate by the
committee. the vote being five to four.
two others present not voting. Later
in the senate the chairman of the COM
mittee moved to recommit the bill so
that the corporation representatives
might have chance to be heard
against the measure. In the debate
Senator Hansbrough stated that he
did not think it was necessary to send
the bill back to the committee, be-
cause the corporation managers had
been given ample opportunity to state
their case in communications adj
dressed him, and the communications
had been published in document form
which could be had by senator's if they
so desired. He said further that he
would not resist the recommittal of
the bill because he would be very glad
to cross-examine the corporation man
ayers at any time. The superstition
at that time was that hearings would
be had at once, but for some unac-
countable reason the committee has
not been called together and it is now
generally understood that the corpora
ton managers do not desire to be
heard. They adopted this means, no
doubt, in order to prevent the passage
of the taxation bill at this session and
thus save the payment of about $780,
600 ta$>s.SS; 80 igC1e psopie may draw their
own conclusions.
