UNITED STATES ARMY.

The journal of the United States In

fishes a strong argument for an in
crease of the United States army by

the heavy or coast artillery being left
out of the calculation This would
make the field forces Of the army two
full corps. or about $4,000 men. The
Journal comb0ts the popular idea that
all that Is needed for an army is a
mere handful of men to be used as a
nucleus of rapid increase should a
war break out. The fallacy OF this be-
lief was demonstrated at the outbreak
Of the Spanish war. where the hasty
enlistment of raw troops resulted in
endless confusion IN the assembling OF
clothing. equipment aud supplies. and Il

DISHONESTY MADE EASY.
Boston Herald.

Comptroller Metz of New York city
confirms the report of the bureau of
municipal research which criticizes the
existing system Of municipal book
keeping He agrees with the state
ment that millions OF dollars might be
stolen in padded payrolls. and other
millions taken In various ways without
discovery, because Of the looseness of
the present system. Corruption and
dishonesty have made no bold attack
upon public administration. The doors
have been opened to dishonest men
and they have been invited to come in
and help themselves. No business
house doing a fraction of the business
done by any large city would tolerate
the loose methods characteristic OF
public business and assume the honesty
OF its employees. The most effective
means OF driving dishonest men from
the public service is to remove the OPP
portunity for dishonesty. That this can
be largely done In any city by the In
auguratinn of a proper system OF ad-
ministration and accounting has been
demonstrated by the bureau OF mu-
nicipal research in New York and by
the finance commission In this city.

great deal of attention is paid in

cord. says that Freuds method of
psychotherapy is an analytical one for

for the average physician. 1t should
be employed only by an expert in the
most desperate and rebellious cases.
Patients must seek this treatment in
good faith and not be urged to it. 1t
Is not applicable to those over 90 years
of age, since in older persons the emo
tons are not plastic. 1t is grounded
on the unconscious mental processes
of the patient. The exposure and trans
lation of the unconscious takes place
amid resistance by the patient The
method is very useful, especially in
hysteria.

A Preliminary Estimate.

Certainly there is no rainbow chas-
nary estimate given forth the other
day by the Republican national com
mittee regarding the electoral result
in the presidential contest which is To
be divided November 3. In this csti-
mate 307 votes in the electoral college
are claimed for Mr.. Taft, 15S are con-
ceded to Mr.. Brwan and IS are set
down in the doubtful column. Most
people will agree that there is nothing
wildly fanciful about this advance
estimate when it is disclosed that both
kentucky and Missouri are conceded
to Bryan and Indiana and Nevada are
placed in the doubtful column.
Most people who bring to bear a
clear and unbiased judgment will con-
cede that Mr. Bryan has been given
the benefit of the doubt in the forego-
ing classification. While Nevada gave
Bryan a plurality of 2.49S in 1900. it
went Republican by Il pluarity of 1855
in 1904 Indiana went against Bryan
by over $4,000 in 1896 and by over &c.
600 in 1900. In 1904 Indiana went Re-
publican by nearly $4,000. Kentucky
went against Bryan in 1896 ana the
state now has a Republican governor.
Missouri gave Roosevelt a plurality of
over $4,000 four years ago. and there Is
a very reasonable probability that Mr..
Taft will obtain the electoral vote from
that state this year.

Making Russian Caviar.

Consular Agent George r. Martin.
at Rustotf-on- Don. Russia. has pre-
pared the following report upon Rus
sian caviar:
The centre of the caviar trade in
Southeast Russia is at Astrakan on
the Nolga. There are, however, sew
eral fisheries on the river Don and the
Sea Of AZov. At several of the fish
cries Large quantities of caviar are
prepared. but for home production
only. In 1906 caviar to the value of
$4,000 was exported to the United
States from Astrakhan. Since then.
however, its export has wholly ceased.
This condition of affairs is thought to
be due to two reasons at least. First.
the catch of sturgeon in the United
States has been unusually abundant
and second, the quality of caviar pre-
pared in the United States has proved
to be far superior to the imported arti-
Gle
Caviar is prepared in Russia in
practically the same manner as in the
United States. The roe, having been
extracted from the fish, is rubbed
through the meshes of sieve in order
that the eggs may be separated from
the lnclosing sacks. 1t is then salted
with from to 10 per cent. of good
table salt according to the time of the
year when prepared. Afterward the
caviar is put on finer sleeves in order
to allow the brine to flow off After
this has been accomplished it is placed
in cans and Theoretically sealed.
In order to reach the market, caviar
is shipped by steamer to TZaritzin on
the Volga. being forwarded thence by
fast trains to Hamburg in special cars
provided for the export of fish Dur
ing the warm season the caviar is
| placed on ice which is renewed at va
rious places en- route. On steamers
