NOT THE HEALTHIEST SOLDIER.

It Is sadly true that the American soldier is not as numerous as he ought to be, and now we read in the Army and Navy Journal, which ought to know, that he is not as healthy as he ought to be. Tested by the number of hospital admissions the United States Army doesn't shine. The highest ad- mission rate, 1921, last year, was in the Dutch army the next highest, 1,179, was in the United States army, and the lowest, 1S6, in the Prusslan army The highest death rate, 5.61, was in the British army, the next highest, 5.2S, was in the United States army, and the lowest 1.S6, in the Prussian army. The best basis for comparison Is the record of total losses, representing the combined rates for deaths and dis charges. According to this record, the United States army stood fourth after those of Belgium, Russia and Great Britain, but far ahead of all others, An important factor in judging the rel ative healthfulness of armies Is the average duration of each case of sick ness. Measured by this standard the United States army stood fourth after the armies of Prussia, Bavaria and Holland. The average duration of each case in the American army was about half that of the average in the British army and little more than half the average in the Russian army.
 Of course the American soldier ought to be the healthiest, wealthiest and wis est of the lot. By and by, when we have learned enough and applied enough, perhaps he will be.

STILL CLAIMING.

Chicago Is somewhat disturbed by the financial unpleasa,ltness, but she is not enough disturbed to forget or omit to mention that she wants both the big national conventions next year and as many more as she can get, Her Claims" are that she is most favor ably situated near the middle of the country, that she can well accommo- date all who will want to be present and that she is Chicago.
 It will have to be admitted that Chi cago makes out pretty strong case. She is we'll situated for national con- vention and access to her is as easy and speedy as to anywhere in this country. A national convention wouldn't crowd her and the stockyards are worth seeing. So probably she will get one or two of the conventions We had hoped that New Haven might be chosen for at least one of them, but there doesn't seem to be any tendency among the party managers to come so far East, though 1t is not forgotten that national conventions have been held in Philadelphia and Baltimore.

REAL.

JAS is now plainly seen, there has been lot of investing in this country in wind and water, and 1t is also now plainly seen that there are better things than those to invest in. One of them, according to the stories that come out of the bounding and the abounding West, is alfalfa Kansas folks are roll ing in real wealth which they have got out of alfalfa this year, and similar rolling is being done in Texas, where one man has made $10O,OOO out of his alfalfa crop this year.
 Of course if we all rush into alfalfa there will be overproduction, or under consumption, or something or other which always happens to "cinches." ;" But those who have rushed into alfalfa so far seem to have done quite well. And it is encouraging just now to read about some of the actual wealth that comes out of the good, generous ground.

TIoHrNEss AND 1oosBNEss.

Henry Clews thinks hoarding of mon- ey has been done to the extent of s200, 1000, 900, and John Wanamaker thinks $1,OOo, ,ooo.OOo has been put away.
 Of course nobody really knows how much money has been hid, but un- doubtedly large amount has been. The premium on currency which has been paid in the money centers has brought a good deal out, and restored confidence will bring out therest. With all the hidden money revealed, with the new gold that has come over here from Europe, with the increase in bank circulation, and with lower prices call ing for much less money to carry" things with, money ought to be plenty enough soon. It will not be so plenty that it can be picked up in the street, not even in Wall street, but we are not likely to hear much more about tight money, unless the whole world has got into a financial condition which is irremediable. It is not at all probable that it has. Therefore we can look forward hopefully to more work and more money.

He 1.nved His awhlte Folks.

(The Charleston News and Courier.)
 Dad" Brown, the old negro drum mer," veteran of three wars, and faith full to hls white friends throughout the yet more trying dlys which followed the greatest of these conflicts, was bu- red in Darlington yesterday, with mili- tary honors, the Darlington guards at- tending in full uniform, and taps being sounded and salute fired over his grave. He had earned this tribute. Dad" Browns skin was dark, but his character was spotless in it's white ness. He had long been 8 familiar fig- ure in Darlington, especially at the &n- nual reunions of the confederate vet erans. It was upon these occasions that old Dad" was in his chiefest glory. and nothing delighted him moro than to hold aloft his old drum sticks while he told over and over again to his friends, the veterans, how he "captured 'en fun de Yankees" at the battle of Second Manassas. Dad" loved his white folks; the manner of his burial yesterday was eloquent of the esteem in which he was held by them. To such men as he was race prejudice" is, and always has been, thing unknown.

who under the laws of the State were able to vote. All along the line the improvement towards the elimination of the machine is steady and uniform. In New York when the choice was be- tween two machines that machine was successful which represented the least of two evils.
 So the friends of the direct primary principle of nominating candidates for office should be alert in carrying their wares to the popular market. It is easy to state the principle in a convincing manner. The difficulty lies in paving the way for its useful enforcement. It is manifestly inn possible to nominate all candidates for office by this method, but on the other hand the people are already compelled to nominate and vote for more candidates than they should be. In other words, when the fact is grasped by the people of the State that they can elect fewer men to of- flee without impairing the efficiency of government they will not fear the revolution which will restore to them their right to govern thsmselves. It is in a sense beginning the business of self government over again, but that has become manifestly necessary if the business of self government is to be carried on at the old stand.

OUR CONTEMPORARIES.
Power of the south.

(The Manufacturers Record)
 The South holds call upon the worlds gold to the extent of $45oooo,- 900 to $500, 900, GOO for tho cottor which it will this year furnish to Europe. Ev- cry dollar of gold mined on earth dur ing the present year would not be suf~ tficient to pay the bill, and this call which the South has upon Europe Is one which will prove not only a great blessing to the South, but a great blessing to the entire country This money, whether paid in actual gold or in other ways, will so strengthen the financial situation, not only of the South, but of New York and the coun- try at large, as to make tho south the saving power in American financial in- terests.

4 NEW JERSEY CHANGE.

As they are not very sentimental in New Jersey they are looking forward there with satisfaction to what is go- ing to happen next month. After a long delay the electric apparatus for the electrocution of New Jersey crim- inals has at length been completed and will be ready for the first two execu- tions, which are to take place during the week of December ?. Three execu- tions will take place during the week of December 16 and on the same day.
 New Jersey had got tired of hang ing people, so tired that there was talk that hanging was played out in the State. It seems to be now believed there that electrocution Is much heater way than hanging of putting undesirable citizens out of the world and that it's use will be approved and lead to a more frequent and beneficial application of capital punishment.

WILL BE READY TO FIRE.

Although it Is not expected that our battleships will have to fire anything except salutes when they go on their big cruise they will be as ready to fire in earnest as Gridley was in Manila bay when Admiral Dewey told him he might. In order to add to their firing efficiency they are being equipped with a fire control system. The system has not been fully revealed to outsiders, but it is known to include an elaborate telephone arrangement, connecting the observer, who is stationed in the 'crow's nest" above the fighting top, with the commanding officer on the bridge, the commanding officer and the officer charged with operating the range finding system, and, finally, the commanding officer with the battery commanders. IA main "centrar' sta- tion will be placed beneath the armor- ed deck, from which the commanding officer can be instantly placed in tele- phonic connection with the officer in charge of every twelve-inch gun, for instance, or every ten-inch gun, etc Observations of the man in the 'crow's nest" will be communicated to the commanding officer, who will direct the attention of the range finders tc the approaching target" Given the range, the commanding officer can communicate with one order with al the guns of a given size on board ship and, if desired, with the engineer of. f1cer who controls the speed of the ship, etc. The telephone system vii be supplemented by speaking tubes fol use in case the telephones become dis ordered.
 The United States navy isn't the largest in the world, but there is nont with better equipment, including the men behind the guns.
