Cost of Army Equipment.
An interesting statement has been pre-
pared showing the cost OF completely
equipping for field service 100 infantry,
loo cavalry and one three-lnoh field bat
terry. The total cost Of infantry Is ss7. So.
that Of cavalry SS37. $40 and that OF the
field battery Si69,s0O. on the basis OF
four guns per 1000 rifles the cost Of
artillery is practically twice that OF in
fantry and one-half that OF cavalry. For
two guns per 100 the cost Of artillery
is the same as that OF infantry and ap-
proximately one-fourth that OF cavalry.
II is asserted that in order 70 obtain
equal results for each dollar expended
on the three arms the effectiveness Of
the cavalry must. in the first case, be
considered as four times that OF the
Infantry and twice that OF the artillery
IN the second case. as four times that Of
either infantry or artillery. In other
words, Loo cavalry must equal 1000 in
fantry, Dr two four-gun batteries OF
artillery, while one battery OF artillery
lie equivalent to 1900 infantry.

OF second lieutenant I'm the army as
result OF examinations recently held
There remain about seventy vacancies In
the grade. to which will be appointed
those civilian candidates who qualify in
the examination to be held beginning
January y. There may be some oppost-
ton. on the part OF congressional friends
of members of the next graduating class
ut West Point, TO any more appointments
being made. as an additional batch OF
appointees from civil life, say, thirty
or more, would seriously affect the stand
ing OF the military academy graduates
of next year. II promises to be an Inter

and in either event, there will be enough

William Jennings Bryan definitely an
nounces that he is not seeking the
presidential nomination for 1912. Still
that does not satisfy for if he opposes
the nominee Of his party, his following
is so great and such is the confidence
in him, that defeat is certain for that
nominee. What we are waiting for is
the name of the man he is willing to
support. When one thinks minute
and considers the difference between
Bryan and Roosevelt, one might be
dent, who is about discredited. He re-
commended Taft. Here is Bryan thrice
beaten for the presidency, stronger than
any man not a candidate, yet who has
with him such a confidence and faith as
has been granted few men in the history
of this or any other nation. 1t is diff
cult to understand, for the world lives
and follows success. But it is not diff
cult to understand when one learns
what success really is. 1t is not wealth
or position or power 1t is just being
faithful at all costs to what one be-
lieves is right. Bryan may have been
deceived by his theories-but he never
knowingly deluded or misled his follow
ers. Roosevelt, Mark Twain said, played
the charlatan. Bryan, aver in error,
was sincere.-Lidgerwood Broadaxe.
But has Bryan been in error? If so.
Why are SO many republicans following
his lead and advocating the things that
he has SO long advocated? Either he is
right or they are wrong.

Flags as Scarecrows.

A Long Island farmer is severely
has several American flags unfurled to
the breeze in his corn1icld to scare
away the crows. The neighbors think
this is dissertation of the flag. but the
farmer declares he means no insult.
''The flag often frightens away the
%country's enemics,' he says, "and if it
will scare crows away from my corn
what's the HARM
While. of course. this is a new use
for the star snangled banner, there
seems really no reason for sensitive
patriots to make any protest. The flag
as a protection to corn, our native and
most distinctively American crop, is
doing n peace service of great benefit.
If the American crow, which is not by
any means Il good and patriotic citi-
zen, is afraid of the American flag, let
the farmers throughout the land plant
the trihued standard in their fields
along with the crop. With a flag fly
ing about every ten corr rows our
fields will present a more beautiful as
pect, and the scene should inspire
young Americans to a loftier sense of
patriotism. In the flag spangled corn
field every day is flag day for the
farmers boy who hoes the corn. He
has a safe and sane Fourth of July
every time he goes out to hoe.
AS n matter of fact. the use of the
flag as Il corntield guardian is of much
more benefit TO the nation and the race
than it's use rs an inspirer Of men to
shoot down other men, Flags afloat
above the serried ranks of corn, sol
diers of the soil whose swords are
their green blades and whose epaulets
are their waving t~assels, present to
the eye of tho modern idea a spectacle
much more soul satisfying than the
same banners borne ;2i0ft over rush,
ing ranks OF armed me hurting them
selves against ali enemy to fight 70
the death.

The Presidential Preference.

IF this had happened twenty years
ago. Well. if it had? Twenty years
ago we would have refused to believe
in the automobile. in the wireless tele-
graph. in the perfected monograph, in
the moving picture show. in the aero
plane and in various other things
which the children Of this day accept
as a matter Of course.
The world do move. as Uncle Eph
remarked. If you had said in 1891
that in 1911 the United States senate
would vote for the submission of an
amendment to the constitution provid-
ing for the popular election of mem
bers of that body somebody would
have taken you to the town pump and
held your head under the spill. Polit-
ically this country is melting its an
Gent ideas as a snake molts it's hide.
Now comes the presidential preference.
Senator Jonathan Bourne. Jr.. of Ore
gon is the father Of the idea. His
state was the trSt to pass the law per-
hitting voters to express at the pri-
mary elections their preference of can
didates for the presidency. Several
states have followed suit.
Not Oregon. but North Dakota. will
be the first state wherein voters at the
primary may signify their preference
as to candidates for the presidency.
March 10 next is the date Of the North
Dakota primary. Then follow Wiscon-
sin, April .: Nebraska, April II: Ore
gon. April 10, and New Jersey, May
2S. North Dakota, as the pioneer.
therefore promises to be the hottest
battlefield in the fight for popular in
dorsement of presidential candidates
for both political parties. 1t may be
accepted as a foregone conclusion that
the vote in these five states will have
a strong influence upon the action of
state conventions in other
wealths.
