The COuntru viii Soon Know.

In the course OF little while the
country will know whether Congress
considers that the President was
within bis rights in dIscharging the
members of the 25th Infantry who
were dishouorably mustered out of
service. This is one of the finest
opportunities that the opponents of
the Administration in Congress
have had to make personal fight
on the President, thinly yelled
under the show of regard for law
and facts. The President has
strong defenders on the floor of
both the House and the Senate and
by the time the contest is over the
Senate In particular will know that
there has been fight in its neigh.
borhood.
As TO the law in the case Senator
Lodge outlined it very plainly in
his opening speech last week ard
the public that follows the debate
and Its outcome may bear 1t firmly
III mind that there is just one point
of Law to be settled no matter how
the opposition may try to muddy
the water.
Two points can be raised, one OF
law, and the other of fact. As
Senator Lodge says there is no
question that there was shooting at
night on the streets in Brownsville.
The fact that remains to be deter
mined ia whether it was the soldiers
who did the shooting, or citizens Of
Brownsville disguised az soldiers.
There was one man killed, another
go badly wounded that his arm had
to be amputsted, and another had
his horse shot under him, narrowly
escaping death. An investigation
on the ground may and ought TO
bring out whether it was the citizens.
willing to stop not even at murder,
who did the shooting in order to
cast disgrace upon the soldiers, or
whether it was the soldiers them
selves who are guilty.
The President will be perfectly
willing to see this point of fact
settled If It can be settled, but
about the law in the case, there IL
absolutely no question. The Presi.
dent IL the Commander-in- Chief of
the army and as such he can enlist
and dismiss soldiers at pleasure.
Senator Lodge 10 his defense of the
President bad armed himself with
q multitude Of presidents in this
line and showed conclusvcly that
Il was always the commander-in-
chiefs prefpgative in every cline

1T Is now almost certain that
President Roosevelt will not be a
candidate for the presidency next
year-evon if he wants to be, and
he says he doesn't. The corpora
tion influence in his own party is
against him and it is powerful
enough to prevent the nomination
from going to him. Shepherds

The corporations are most
assuredly against him, but corpora
lions have no politics and care not
what party succeeds so they make
their millions. However, the peo-
pie are with Roosevelt and they
can nominate him and if we do not
miss our guess they WILL nominate
him.

there is room and TO spare in the
country for all the surplus population.
The problem with us is not how to
provide for surplus OF men. but to
induce men to occrpy the surplus land
IN regions other than those of con-
Iestion.
In Europe and America there is
more than enough land for all the
population that can be obtained.
Europe cannot even partially fiji up
the unoccupied territory of the United
States and other countries in North
America without emptying! herself.
But for the crowded areas of Asia
there are no lands for relief of con
gtstion. India. China. and Japan are
seething with millions for which
there Is no outlet. because no coun.
try held by Europeans welcomes

New York, Oct 25.-An official
price Of fifty dollars each has been es-

the coming municipal election Father
Knickerbocker has not established a
corruption fund however. for the pur-
chase Of votes. and even If he had, In

The fits dollars apiece for votes
which the city viii pay represents the
cost to the municipality of furnishing
facilities for the casting OF ballots In
the freak election district of the city.
Located in a most populous section,
this whole district has just four
voters. for with Harlem on one side

Central Park in which the only resi-
dents are the proprietor and three

full set OF election officials who must
serve on the three registration days
as well as election day itself, and vot-
ing booths. while each party, for the
patronage there is in it, will have

years the ballot has been known to

sand cotton and freight handlers
went on strike which lasted four
and one-half hours here today. They
we're the men who returned to work
this morning after nearly a months
long sympathetic strike against the
local ship interests.
Today's strike was also sympathetic
called because part of the returning
men refused to sign the year con-
tract with the Illinois Central rail-
road
The strike was settled by the rail-
road Withdrawing its demands at the
solicitation of Mayor Behfman who
declared that by standing firm the
railroad might ruin the port at least
temporarily.
Disputes which caused the strikes
will now be settled by an inyestiga-
ton of port conditions.
