the Independent wishes to make
a few remarks and suggestions
regarding this affair which may
help to settle the matter and

Many have objected to the
construction OF cement walks on
the ground that the wooden

them and that they are yet in a
GOOD condition and claim that they
would have 10 break and chop

this is the only way they could

The human appetite for play, the
second need, is being better and
better met. Athletic contests be-
tween squadrons or garrisons, boat
races, contests in craftsmanship,
indoor entertainments in winter,
Libraries, and improved service

also, more progress can be made,

Finally, it is good to note that
Mr.. Metcalf, Mr.. Taft, and Mr.. Cor
telyou, the latter as the official best
qualified to rearTange the pay
tables, have conferred over and
agreed upon a bill to raise the pay
of the men os both branches of the
service. The assumption is fair
that they have done their work
and with an eye TO the
good of the country, but no less
with a full appreciation of the prob
lem as seen by practical soldiers,
sailors, and accountants. The un-
is that the President

ton consists of informing the men

More Men in Sight.

Three things must be had if our
army is not to lose 10000 men and
our navy more than an equal num-
Der every year through desertions.
Opportunity TO rise from the ranks
is the first. A reasonably attrac-
tive garrison life is the second. De-
cent pay is the third.
Secretary Metcalf has done much
to supply the first need for the war
ships. Almost his first act as head
of the Navy Department was TO give
an applicant for i commission \
second trial at the examination in
navigation because the jackie had
had no practical training in adj
vance. When another failure re-
suited, an arrangement was ordered
whereby the enlisted man could OBJ
tain instruction from an officer.
We shall see," argued the Secre-
tary, whether the fault is in the
man or in the system" They did
see. The applicant passed handiIv.
Today earnest men, with heads on
their shoulders, whose characters
are worth rewarding, have a better
chance TO rise from the ranks than
ever they have had since the first
light Of ironclads. More progress
can be made along this line in the

Looking Out for the Rivers.

\ genial hut gingery discussion
has been started by the Cincinnati
Commercial Tribune and the St.
Louis Globe-Democrat. At bottom
the question is this:
Is the Ohio n feeder" Of the
Mississippi, or the Mississippi an
outlet for the Ohio?
Geographically the verdict would
go to the Mississippi and its knight
ly champion, perhaps without ques-
tion. But geography is not every
thing. St. Louis would not call it's
river important because of its po-
sition on the map. And the mo-
ment you go beyond that one con-
sideration, says Cincinnati, you
come upon a commerce which gives
all the argument to the Ohio. In
deed, there is no comparison be-
tween the volume of the traffic on
the Father Of Rivers and the 4,OOO,-
600 passengers and 100000 tons
of freight carried on the back of
the Ohio these past twelve months
You're another" would end such
a dispute between less courteous
opponents. But these two papers
have found il the medium for ad-
vancing their common river inter
ests. They are using their editorial
sallies to preach the doctrine of
safeguarding their common inter
ests by uniting on the right man
10 head the House Rivers and Har-
bors Committee. With Mr.. Burton
in charge, the Middle West was con-
ident neither its lakes nor its rivers
would be disregarded. Now that he
is to retire, the Globe-Democrat and
the Commercial Tribune are deter
mined his successor shall be no less
watchful over the inland water
ways.
They have running start. It is
practically impossible for the East
to unite on any one man, and it
would make no difference whether
the far West did or not, because
the Pacific delegations are insignif-
can't in numbers. Furthermore, the
appointing power is vested in a man
10 whom the Ohio and the NGssis-
sippi are personally, politically, and
important. Yet-if these |

Will remain open until the last YER

1. Not if the ingenuity of

2. Not if the influence of the

3. Not if IL depends upon the
spirit of the people of the common

present regular Republican organ

The story of the past two years

must be had in spite Of leading coun-
