 In this chapter. I shall consider eX- clusively the enlisted soldier or regU- lar of the United States Army. and not the members of the State Militia and Of other military organizations, who do not depend upon their wages or ratiOns for livelihood.
 The United States Army is maintain ed in two distinct ways: from the grad uates of the United States Military Academy. at West Point who begin as lieutenants; and from the enlisted soldiers or men in the ranks.
 The West Point Military Academy is the highest grade technical institute, at which is taught everything which may have any bearing on the life and duties of the soldier. including engi- neering and all kindred sciences.
 It is extremely difficult to enter West Point In the first place. the number ifl SAuAtlAAS AS lAllAAtNl Dg lci"- All NAAN second place. the examination is very hard indeed, and no one but thor oughly trained scholar can hope to pass the necessary entrance examinations. To become a West Point cadet it is necessary to receive an appointment either from the President of the Uni led States or from some member Of congress. but this appointment does not make one d student at West Point It simply permits him to apply for per mission to take the examinations. lt is a common custom for those having the power of appointment to require spec ial competitive examinations the ap- pointment going to the one receiving the highest number of marks. From this examination. which is very severe, The appointee passes to the regular West Point entrance examination.
 Thus it is necessary for the candidate 10 pass two sets of examinations. both made as difficult as requirements will allow. Besides being able to pass these two examinations. one of which is com petitive and is likely to be very much more difficult than the other, the can didate must have the necessary physi- cal qualifications He must not be shorter than a specified height. weigh not less than a specified number of pounds. and all of his organs must be thoroughly sound So difficult and strenuous is the life at West Point that a large proportion of the students are unable tO remain there more than a wear or two.

 Twenty years service entities one to retired on three-quarters pay. with an additional allowance of S9.5O for clothes fuel, food, etc. and travel money to place of enlistment. When detailed for duty as bakers. machinists. laborers, p3inters. clerks. etc. the private re- ceives from 9 to 90 cents a day in ad dition to above amounts.
 An increase of $2 per month is paid for a re-enlistment of five years: that is, during the second term of enlistment the private receives SIS per month. during the third term of five years and thereafter for each additional enlist ment of five years the private receives an increase of S1 per month.

 The late General Joseph Wheeler, ot the United tSates Army. in a letter to the author says:
 ''In answer to your first question. l will say that for a brave. determined man of singleness of purpose. the army offers great possibilities in the event of war during the ages from twenty five to fifty years.
 "Of course. only a comparatively few can rise to win national prominence. but the prize is so great that it is well worth the effort.
 "In answer to your second inquiry. will say that the disadvantages of the life are that unless the country is in volved in war during the period above mentioned. the opportunity for ad- vancement is limited
 General George L. Gillespie. chief engineer. United States Army, and member of the Army War College Board. Washington. D. C., in a letter to the author. says:
 "In giving advice to a young man. in whose future life one takes partlc- ular interest. the desire is to do by that young man what is deemed best for his future welfare and success.

 "For a youth of culture and ambi- ton. the only justifiable reason for en- tering the army as a soldier in time of peace is the hope that after good serv- ice as an enlisted man he may reach a commission. Many sons of educated percentage failing to secure appoint ments to West Point, or to be directly appointed a commissioned officer in the army. enlist with the object of attain ing a commission by passing the exam nations required of an enlisted man. This preparatory service is very valu- able to the future officer and increases his future usefulness by the intimate

knowledge he acquires of the duties, obligations. and needs of a soldier.
 "The position of a soldier. withGu- the incentive of a commission. has nothing to command it. The life is ar extremely hard one. and the benefits hoped for can be more readily gained by engaging in civil pursuits. which elevate the character and incite the ambition of the individual to become g. good citizen and the head of a house hold.
 "In time of war the position of tho soldier. whether enlisted or cOmmis- stoned, is most noble and patriotic. and the services rendered can not be meA- sured in terms of rank and pay. but only by the gratitude of the nation
 General Theodore A Bingham. Of the United States Army. retired, in A letter to the author, says:
 "l. Becaue he will obtain a splendid education. not in books only. but in character. The physical. mental, and moral training there is not exceeded by that of any other school in the country. Also because he will obtain a moro thorough training as a soldier enabling him to do better work in the world and a training which will always be misse1 if not secured.
 "2 I would not advise him to enter the army. except through eWSt Point. unless the West Pointers course can not be had and he is determined tO bs a soldier. He may be promoted as high but it will require harder work and work against many disadvantages apd even obstacles.
 a. l would not advise a boy to enter the army as a common soldier, excep- as just stated under '2.'
 "4. l would not advise a boy tO enter the army at all unless he had a strong leaning that way. in which case he enter West Point. Failing in that. en- listment as a common soldier will lead to a commission by very hard work
 If boy wants some years of adven- ture and has a good constitution. it will not hurt him to he a soldier for three years but it is not a free life. and ho can not with honor quit when he gets tired
 But the right kind of a boy. in these days. does not want to be a soldier He should be good, honest. truthful. hustling citizen. He can then have a settled home. friends. a name in tho community. and in our peaceful nation there is no chance for an ambitious young man in the army"

STANDARD FOR SECRETARY OF
STATE

II has been rumored for some time
that VIM. L. Staunard, representative
from this district in the state legisla-
ture, will be a candidate for secretary
of state but tho first out-and an
nouncement Of ii came in an article In
the Calumet department of the Hough-
ton Mining Gazette last Sunday.
After throwing the usual bouquet at
the gentleman the Gazette states that
it Is rumored that Mr.. stannard Is
soon to move from this district
Mr.. Stannard has made an able rep
resentatiye and is well liked in the
Iron district and his constituents think
that there is nothing too good for him
and should be really be a candidate for
the position mentioned they would be
only to glad 70 support him and sing
his praises to the world.
In commenting upon the chances for
upper peninsula men getting recogni-
ton the Gazette continues
Through force Of circumstances the

deration ia matters pertaining to state
affairs. For this reason the friends Of
Mr. Stannaid have advanced his name
as q candidate for the nomination Of
secretary OF state. The nominations
for state officers will not be made for
months yet. but Il Is known that other
candidates for various offices are be.

suspicious occasion.
''The upper peninsula has not Jared

men on the state ticket. There was
time when the position OF lieutenant

as a siuecuTc for an upper peninsula
man As soon aA the position became

elected because he probably IL the best
qualified man In the state for the place.
Had the lower peninsula powers that

would never have been given the Job

The Iron Trade.
The Iron Trade Review says

The Iron Trade Review says:
In spite Of still further declines in
prices of pig iron and of some further
evidences Of recession in business
great activity continues at nearly all
manufacturing plants. Reports uni
formly indicate extreme quiet in pig
iron. The low grades are especially
dull. Resale iron is not prominent In
the market. as considerable part Of
the iron now being delivered was con-
tracted for AZ sls 90. and reselling is
not profitable. Ore shipments from
the Lake Superior region show large
increase over last year, and the three
ports at the head Of the lakes made A
gain Of $50 500 tons last month. ~
compared with August, 1906. There
Is still n considerable shortage Of labor
at the mines. Large numbers Of
miners have left for their former homes
In foreign lands
An encouraging feature Of the
week is the action OF several railroads
in placing orders for rails for 1908 de-
livery the understanding being that
the specifications to be agreed upon by
the point committee Of the representa-
tives OF the railroads and steel manu-
facturers will govern the Baltimore
and Ohio. Norfolk and Western, and
Hooking Valley railways placed ord
ers, aggregating 90 900 tons. with the
Carnegie Steel company, and the H.
inois Steel company booked about 10.
600 tons. 1t is estimated that railroads
will require about !, 600 900 tons more
for next year than have been ordered.
The Iron Age says
There are indications That the con
timed deadlock in the foundry pig iron
markets Is soon to be broken, although
those buyers who are testing the mar
ket do not reach far into the future in
covering their requirements. still. IL
