THE SALVATION ARMY
WOMAN.

The last decade has seen a re-
markable change for the better
in the degree OF respect accorded
the Salvation Army woman.
During the early stages OF this
denomination little regard was
maintained for her. She was
universally Stunned and often
referred to as mentally unsound.
Through her devotion to God
and the elevation of men in deg
radiation she has gained a rank
OF respect among men and wom-
en- who have qualities OF rever-
ence for good, holy and pure
things.
The Salvation Army goes
where the sinful and the wicked
and the sufferer abide, and is
loved and respected there. She
ministers to the poor, the weak
and the deprayed, and lifts them
up and gives them hope.
The criminal class forms an
example by which she can be
judged. The Gail BIRDS and
the convicts hail her coming to
sing and pray and exhort, as the
coming OF a friend. They believe
she lives and works and strives
for them. They look to the Sal
walton Army woman forcomfort
when bright dawns the day of
the end OF their penal servitude,
and many are the eX-convlcts she
turns from a life of crime and
starts away from the scene of
his imprisonment with comforta-
BILE clothing, money in his purse
and a prayer OF "God bless YOU
in his heart for she who has
pleaded and toiled and prayed
for his emancipation from the
rugged road ofcrime.
There is a very unique place
always for the Salvation
Army woman, and she is righte-
ously gaining high honors and
fervent respect in the hearts and
the devotion Of the good people
OF this splendid age.-Woman's
Page in The Scimetar.

THE GREAT NEW WEST.

The West offers superior OPP
portunities for getting ahead in
a business way for the young
man or woman Of push and en-
ergy. Things are done on a
larger scale and with more push
and enthusiasm, characterized
also by a liberality and generos-
ity not to be found in the older
sections Of the country, Thecon-
sentative eastern business man
hesitates longer on parting with
ten cents than the Western man
does with a gold eagle.
This comment from field and
Farm, of Denver is correct. The
West has been made up Of the
blood of generosity and liberty.
In the early settlement of the
great new West, it took courag-
eous stamina to Ego west" So
ciety was then sadly minus its
later day attributes. Churches
were few and far between. Schools
were scattered and badly organ
lied. What theaters there were
had very few plays worth attend
ing. Music was scarce and of a
discordant sort.
But with all these omissions
there was a deal of freedom, even.
in the days Of these privations,
that repaid the price OF them,
Generous goodfellowship was the
chief characteristic. The "old-
timers taught this lesson most
thoroughly to the early day "ten-
der-foot,' just out from the
states. They gave him some
memorable lessons in chivalry;
lessons he never forgot. They
led him over trails of hardship.
betimes, but the experience usu-
ally contributed to his manly at
tributes and played a good part
later when he had to face the
stern realities Of genuine pioneer
life.
This spirit still prevails in the
West. 1t is peopled with the
younger, redder blood Of the east
and of the middle west. From
these ancient settlements of ma
ture habitation, has migrated TO
the western mountains, hills and
plains, the more active and am
bilious young men and young
women of these more staid local
tiles. They have easily and read
lily accepted western ways, and
the adjustment of these condi-
tion come easy and attract and
hold them. Few indeed are the
instances where young blood CO.
mingles with the refreshing spirits
of the great new West for a short
year, that it is ever content away
from it. The clear western skies,
the exhilarating breeze, the snow
clad hills and rocky caverns, the
ranges and forests, the freedom
of thought and the spirit OF
optomistic philosophy, all bind
and tie the life OF he who tries it.

u. S. SENATOR'S IN PRIVATE
EMPLOYMENT.

his withdrawal from the law firm
established by him, and that he
would not engage in professional
practice SO long as he remained in
the senate. The correctness of this
attitude is only equaled by the rar-
ity of its observance. Senator
Spooner, upon his retirment from
the senate, declared that he must
return to the practice Of law as
matter Of personal justice, as he
had thought it best not to practice
while in the senate but as he need
ed the income be must resume the
work, which meant the laying
aside of public life. With his one
exception there is no instance now
in mind but what senators and rep
resentatives have felt free to sup
plement their salaries with private
employment. Indeed candidates
have frequently said they did not
care so much for he office as for
the prestage it would give then. in
their private business. And that
is precisely the danger Of it The
office gives them a prestage by
which they may more easily over
come competitor in private life
who has no such great public posi-
ton behind him. Litigants who
go into court with a United States
senator on their side are apt to
have an influence with courts and
iurymen out Of proportion to the
merits Of their case compared with
some poor, weak person who is not
able to secure like prestage on his
side. Similar advantages in favor
OF the powerful political favcrite ex-
list in numerous respects that seem
to render it highly improper to use
such honors as the people have
given them for the furtherance of
the private ends of themselves or
of others. The only wonder is that
such improprieties should have
been 50 long unrecognized and I'M
checked. Mitchell would not be
in the grave, or Burton be an out
cast if the distinction public Office
and private perquisite had been
drawn earlier. Bailey would give
his right arm today political NOR
ais had earlier interviewed to pre-
vent his accepting attorneys fees
from the Standard Oil company
while holding the commission Of
his state as its federal senator. The
right Of the man in office to add to
his fortune and power by exploit
ing private sources of wealth is one
of the oldest and most dangerous Of
the prerogatives Of the governing
class. 1t has never failed to re-
suit in side rewards, satellites, sy-
cophants and rings through whom
the powerful favorite has fattened
while the Shaving peasant has starv-
ed. The Tribune heartily com
mends Senator Borah for freeing
himself from obligations of private
motives while in the discharge OF
a public trust. We hope he can
go a step further in also pointing
out by example, if not by precepti
the injustice Of representing even
withnnE fee or hone of reward in.

the most advanced ideas of naval con-
struction: not so fast that we will be
ahead of the advance of naval progress,
but slow enough to secure all the bene-
fits of new improvements and new inven-

line that We should build up the American

SIGNED BILL ON SUNDAY.
Unusual Circumstance Connected
With Pension Act.

The peculiar situation arising from the
fact that President Roosevelt signed the
bill increasing the pensions of widows Of
soldiers Of the civil war Sunday. April 10.
has not been cleared up. The claim is
made that a bill signed on Sunday Is in
valid. but informally Attorney General
Bonaparte holds that in this case the bill
is not invalid inasmuch as II the President
had not signed the bill at all it would
have become law within ten days with
o.. the signature of the chief executive.
In other words. if the signature Of the
President 70 this bill On Sunday is not
recognized under statutes the bill became
law in ten days anyway. the President
having failed to notify Congress in that
period of veto. The only question now
seems to be. 1t is said. TO the time
when the bill became law. whether on
Sunday, the 18th. ten days after pass
age Attorney General Bonaparte has not
hal the matter submitted TO him formally.
