ROLLS INFANTRYMEN.
They Feel Comparison of European
Troops and American Unjust.

Washington, Sept. 21.-The infantry
officers in many cases do not take
kindly to severe criticism passed by
the inspector general upon the march
ing ability of the American foot SOL
der Some of them feel that the COM
parison between European troops and
our own was decidedly unfair in sew
eral important respects. 1t Is true,
they say, that some of the continental
infantrymen have made some remark
able endurance and distance marches
against time. But they assert that in
many cases these tests were more or
less spectacular and the marching was
done by specially trained and selected
troops.
The general army average would be
far below these performances. Ameri-
can infantrymen have in case of need,
they assert, fully equalled any Euro
pean performance in marching, and
they can do 1t again, but, of course,
more or less preliminary training and
hardening is necessary.
Much praise has been accorded the
famous "f1exion'' marching step of the
continental armies. This is a curious
Looping gait, the foot never being adj
vanced before the upright line of the
BODY and being driven backward with
a partially flexed knee and ankle joint,
the motion being very parid. 1t is I'M
doubtedly a quick marching step and
some of the specially trained European
miles a day by its use. But it is de-
clared by the American infantry off,
GERS that thorough trials have shown
that it is unsuitable for military use
and already most of the European
armies have abandoned IT

May Bring Lower Rates.
I'VE have reached a new epoch in
the matter of improvement of our wa
terways. The public is greatly aroused
by the confident and just belief that
by more symmetrical, reasonable and
prompt expenditure of money on ap-
proved projects rates for transporta
ton may be lowered and the business
of the country entirely benefited.
I'VE could collect, If we desired, IL
braries of records of meetings of wa
terways conventions full of statistics,
full of congratulations, full of elo-
quence and full of prophesies as to the
marvellous Improvement of waterways
near at hand. Then you change the
scene and go into the rivers and har-
bors committee of the lower house, or
into the committee of commerce in the
senate and you will find the same old
methods pursued, the same distribution
of money among the congressional dis
trict the same slow, almost impercepti-
BILE steps toward the completion Of
many enterprises of many years and
you begin to realize that it is one thing
to pass resolutions and one thing to
generalize and develop possibilities into
fancied facts, and it is quite another
thing to get rid of a system that
strikes its roots down deep into the
fallibility of human nature.
LAS country. we are all in favor
of the most effective and economical
waterways, but as members of dis
trict, and as representatives of dis
tricts, we are selhshly insistent upon
our shares of public appropriations
each year, however much that division
of the spoil impedes the adoption of
| the effective and economical improve
j ment of our water transportation.
I'VE who live on the banks of the
Ohio river are not different from other
people living on other waterways Dos
sible of development and needing i'm
provement. We happen to be more
fortunate than others in that in a calm
and impartial consideration of all these
projected improvements for river trans
portation. there is none that offers sc
great probability of success and bene-

CO-EDs ARE TOO TALKATIvE.
Telephones ordered Removed From

st. Paul, Mimi, Sept 21.-Co-eds at
the University of Minnesota talk too
much, so the removal of the telephones
from Alice Shevlin hall has been or
dered. Where five telephones hereto
fore have been too small a number for
the co-eds to tell their secrets to their

now will have to struggle along with
only one. and that one is to be a

harbors that no project which has not
received the approval of both of the
boards shall be appropriated for and
adopted.
LAS these waterway improvements
are to be carried on in upwards of two
thirds of the congressional districts,
it can be readily understood what the
pressure is from their representatives
in congress to have every project that
is approved appropriated for. The
total cost of the projects surveyed and
estimated for is far in excess of any
thing that congress could appropriate
for the general purpose from the reve-
nues of the government for one year
that is the desire to satisfy the
claims of all the amount which is
available from the current revenue is
divided up and apportioned between
all the various enterprises that have
thus received the approval of the en-
gineers. This is done with very little
regard to the comparative merits of
the different improvements, and it has
tendency to delay every improve
ment a number of years beyond the
by early completion. This is what has
been called the piece meal policy and
is very unsatisfactory.
Improve in Order of Importance.
"a supervising board of engineers
should recommend to congress the i'm
provements in the order of their i'm
portance and should have the power to
advise that body that the beginning of
certain Improvements should be post
poned until other Improvements are
completely finished. Of course, / I'M
derstand that the difficulty is inherent
in our system of government. Every
district that has a projected improve
ment feels that it ought to secure some
share in the benefit that is to be de-
rived from the annual expediture of
money for all improvements, in the
labor employed, in the materials pur-
chased and in the business created, as
we'll as in some progress, however
small, made in its Improvement to-
wards its completion. 1t by no means
follows that a departure from the
present system would postpone the
completion of many of these improve
ments any more than they are likely
to be delayed under the present sys-
tenn. On the contrary, if the new plan
to be adopted involves the prompt
completion of those projects which are
entered upon, the others which are
proposed when they are begun may

bill, which had many of the Character
istics of previous bills and was subject
to the criticism that many items were
contained therein that were merely
piece meal 1 indicated to congress
that the passage of another bill of that
character would merit a veto. 1 VEN
tured to say this in order to bring to
the attention Of congress the necessity
for a change in the form of the bills,
and am hopeful that with the reason
and argument all on the side of the
change. the suggestion contained in my
memorandum may be given weight.
Certainly, until this fundamental re-
form is put into effect the improve
ways will be chiefly important because
OF the local advantage of the money
expended and not because of the bet
terment of our transportation.
Deplores Selfish Legislatures.
1.-The evil in the corrupt control of a
congress or legislature by private in
terests is manifest and always calls for
condemnation. But there is another
kind of legislative abuse as dangerous
to public veal in certain of its aspects
as corruption and that is the selfish
combination of representatives of the
majority of the constituencies to ex-
pend the money of the government for
the temporary benefit of part or with
little benefit to the whole 1t is the
duty of the majority and the minority
to legislate always for the benefit OF
the whole people, and any enactments
that look to the selfish EXPECTATIONS
of less than the whole at the expense
of the whole, and without benefit to
the whole, Is species of legislative
abuse that comes very near corrup-
ton; in it's effectiveness perhaps more
dangerous than corruption. because
those who support such a combination
are generally bold in its defense. The
days of the pork barrel should be num-
bered. The country is reused against
corporate or corrupt control of legis-
lative agencies, but il is doubtful
whether the constituencies as yet are
able to perceive the higher obligation
on the part of themselves and their
representatives. not to use their votes
in combination to appropriate to a
part that which belongs to the whole"
