Direct in Questioning.
No one in the employ of Armour &
Co. ever has accused the head of the
present business of being unapproach-
able. Approaching him, no employe
knowing him has expected a warn,
smiling greeting. None ever expects
to escape the battery of keen ques-

other, straight to the point, and
stripped of superfiuous wording.
Not that all such talk of the hesd

come to the general Office in Chicago,
to meet the chief in smiling MOOD,

In Defense of Mr.. BOdWell.

Editor CALEDONIAN:-
The views of the Rev. ]. c. Bodwell on
fist lighting and the comments on their
views published in a recent CALDDoNIAN
leave one in doubt whether to laugh or
cry.
This much at least can be said for Mr..
Bodwell. He is not afraid to say what
he thinks to be true, nor does he fear to
champion an unconventional ider be-
cause it is at variance with popular
notions. No good Englishman could do
less
Civilization has advanced too far for
us to make serious defense of fist fight
ing or dueling in any form, vet these
methods OF settling personal differences
served good end in their day In these
later times when we adjust our difficult
ties by more peaceful means. there
survives as a legacy from the more
barbarous past, a prejudice against
trlckery and the underhanded methods
OF him who would stab in the back
Honor is as much a reality TODAY as if
VS. ~ LIN uet} D vi CHlVdl1y.
When we behold the havoc wrought
by the slanderer, the liar, assassin of
honor and virtue, we sometimes half
regret the passing of the time when such
scoundrels could be brought to account
tor their deeds by peril of the body. It
would be more conclusive, at least, than
an appeal to the libel law.
There would be fewer mollv-coddles" if
every boy had two fights, in one of
which he came off victor and in the
other he got a sound thrashing. The
hrst would give feeling ofpower and
reliance; the second would teach him
respect for Others. The educational
value might not, however, be worth the
cost.
While we feel that the critics of Mr.
Bodwelrs position have three. fourths of
the right on their side, we believe that
the remaining fourth lies with the
doughty champion of the fist.

have been introduced during this short
session, more probably, than could be
properly considered, but it is hard to
understand how our congressman could
devote the precious moments of night
session, to incorporate "The German
American Alliance" if according to the
Boston Transcript such was the case,
and let an important measure like the
Littlefeld Bill lie utterly neglected
This was a very great disappointment
to lovers of good government and
blow to the cause of temperance. The
Llttleheld Bill died of neglect after very
checkered and precarious existence, hav-
ing been voted down in committee in the
first place, afterwards favorably reported
to the Senate, and finally referred to the
Senate committee; but was not taken
up by that body.
The conclusion to which one invariably
arrives is extremely humiliating. 1t is a
bad case of politics, to say the least.
Altogether the consensus of opinion is,
that Congress has distinguished itself by
what it has left undcne, rather than by
what it has accomplished.

The newspaper fraternity in the state
welcomes back to health Frank E. Howe
OF the Bennington Banner after a long
and trying hospital experience. Mr..
Howe celebrates his return to his desk by
some trite musings on hospitals of which
the following paragraph is a sample;
Cooking is not the only rock on which
we are wrecked though it is one of the
most dangerous. Women suffer from
generation to generation from dictates
OF fashion and attempted fashion that
drive them in ever-increasing numbers to
the hospitals. Men deliberately interfere
with the functions of various organs of
the body by the use of alcoholic stimu-
lants and other excuses of an even less
creditable character. Both sexes suffer !
from an over effort in work and play.
from poor sanitary conditions, and from |
careless ignorance of even the simplest |
laws of health. All these things tend to
increase the population of the hospitals
until they are crowded to the limit"
