THE SOLDIERS PAY.

For years the officers and men of the army and navy service of the United States have waged their fight for more pay. They have won it at last, and they-not more than the country, however-are to be congrat- ulated. The army bill already passed and the navy bill soon to be passed are just rewards already earned.
 There are at least three branches of government service in which it is of the utmost importance to the whole country that the finest men possible should be enrolled. The pc culiar duties demanded in them are of such a nature that any inefficiency, either of department or personnel, on the part of men in these branches of cur government functions grayely re- fleets upon our dignity as a nation. The three branches are those of the army, the navy, and the diplomatic and consular service.
 A nation cannot have poor soldiers leading her armies or inefficient sail ors commanding her ships. or ill-con- ditioned representatives of her peo- pie at the courts and ports of other peoples and yet maintain her position. She cannot even gain the respect which may be her due. It Is impera- tive that she have picked men for such offices.
 Such men must be properly main tained- Their salaries ought to be large enough to fit their needs. No man can live below his station and do his best work, either for himself or for his employer. It is an axiom that if too much luxury enervates the body, too much poverty staryes the soul. Courage and esprit de corps are as much fed by proper living as muscle and bone. Good clothes have revived fainting spirit in many a disheartened breast, and many anoth- CT brave soul has languished and died for lack of them The comforts of life. nay, even a few of the Injuries, are not all vanities to those who can appreciate them; they are necessar. ies. And in these days of high prices for all the principal comforts of life no reasonable man could view the pay of the army and navy ofh. cers of the United States as enough to cover even the commonest needs It was just and proper measure, one in consonance with our own na. tional self-respect, to increase this meager pay. though it has not even yet passed the bounds of munifcence.

Since publication of the fact was made that republican boosters invited to tomorrow evenings caucus by Chairman Holmes of the republican city central committee were to be reimbursed if they didn't bring any patriotic motives along, there has been plan can be followed out. Different rates arranged for the boosters, it is reported, started contention when they became known. Some five-dollar-a- day-boosters thought they were worth Itwenty-dollars-a-da boosters.

Several republican candidates are electioneering along individual lines. They are interested in the success of themselves only. They have aban- doned the argument to vote for the en- tire republican ticket and are urging voters to stick a ballot in for them individually and let the other fellows take care of themselves.

In the city council Frank Haines always has an influence on legislation for the city. When he talks it is straight from the shoulder and his advice commands attention. Haines gets at a proposition in a blunt, straightforward way. There are no frills on his arguments. When he is opposed to measure in council be- cause he thinks 1t is not for the best interests of the city, he uses a sledge hammer.

Funk, assistant to President McCor-

Mr.. Funk's career is an excellent
illustration of the growth of self
made man. He left his mothers farm
near Bloomington. Illinois, in the early
eighties to enter the employ OF War
ner Bushnell & Glessmer, as a clerk
in the collection department at a salary
of IS week. Advancement In those
days was very slow, but Mr.. Funk pos
sessed that sort of sticktotiveness that
knows no such word as fail, and he
gradually advanced from one step to
another until he outstripped many OF
those today connected with the Inter-
national Harvester company, who were
associated with him in the old days.
Although comparatively young Mr.
Funk has acquired a thorough and
practical knowledge of the harvester
business in all its details. His time is
