STUART CHANGED
USES OF CAVALRY
Colonel Mosby Tells His Per-
sonal Recollections of Con-
federate Leader.

General j. Il. j. Stuart brought about
revolution in the use OF cavalry and
adapted IL to modern conditions of war
according to Colonel John s. Mosby.
who writes his personal recoIiectio,ls
of Stuart in the April Munsey's. "Ifo
was the first,' writes Colonel Mosby,
TO see that in modern warfare the
chief function of cavalry should be
preliminary to the battle, and that
mounted charges Of cavalry against
infantry are, or should be. ancient his
tory"
Many "reminiscences of the famous
cavalry leader are given by Colonel
Mosby. He tells OF his first personal
meeting. on tho Rapidan. with Stuart.
who said: General Johnston wants to
know if this is McClcllan's army, or
only detachment" Colonel Mosby re-
piled that he would find out II he could
get a guide Here is one" replied
General Stuart The. mans name. adds
Colonel Mosby. was Mort Weaver. who
died recently in the Soldiers Home in
Richmond.

He thinks tho premature movement
OF y. +. Hil's Corps to tho Potomac
on June -. 1853. defeated a plan OF
Stuarts to break up lockers coinmu-
nications and isolate Washington.

have been the most brilliant achieve
uicnt in war since Bonaparte came
down on the rear OF the Austrians in
the valley OF the Pc" No event. OF
the war. he adds. has been so much
misrepresented as this.
Ills article concludes with a part %
letter written by John Esten Cooke,
the author:
con \ summer morning n solitary
man was seen beside the grave of
stuart. in Hollywood Cemetery, in
Richmond The dew was Oh the grass:
the birds sang overhead. The green
hillock at the mans feet was all that
remained OF the daring leader Of the
Southern cavalry. who. after all his
tolls, his battles and the shock OF des
rerate encounters, had come here to
rest in peace. Beside this unmarked
grave the solitary mourncr remained
long, pondering and remembering. Ri
rally he plucked a wild flower, dropped
II upon the grave. and. with tears in
his eyes, left the spot This lonely
mourncr at the grave OF Stuart was

IMAGINING ENVY"

One caption carried by Des Moines
newspaper. Our Envious Neighbors =
seems TO annoy a number OF Iowa
weekly newspapers, judging by com
nent. VIVA, in Sam Hill has Des
Moines that other good towns in Iowa
are consumed with envy overo VIII
some one speak up and say?
Surely not her city administration
From Hawar6en to keokuk and Lam
sing TO Hamburg. from Mason City 10
Is no town SO poor as 20 envy Des
Noines her city council. On the con-
trary there are few towns in Iowa
that would trade street commissioner
for the whole blamed commission.
Iowa towns have troubles enough OF
their own.
Dies Moines has the capitol, merely
by location. Contrary 10 the general
belief IN that city Des Moines does
mot own the building and the grounds
They belong 20 the state. II has the
dent. But in the true analysis the state
fair Is actually a state Institution. The
idea that IL was established in order
to facilitate an annual trimming OF
outside visitors for the benefit of Des
ofoines Is also a mistaken one. The
fact is that the fair and the capital
are at Des Moines simply because the
rest OF Us find 1t convenient 70 keep
them there for the present When we
purs.
There are several better towns than
1pes Moines TO live in in Iowa, towns
where merchants do better as a general
thing, towns where people suffer less
Rnnoyances of one kind or another
towns with better water supply. towns
with practically all the conveniences
and advantages Of Des Mo,nes and
without much that makes Des Moines
less desirable than they for residence
Or business.
Forget that "Envious Neighbor" bus
lness. There's nothing in it except
q pettiness that does nobody but Des
Moines harm. In the first place no.
body is envious. Second, there's moth
ing in sight to create envy. Try win
ming approval. That beats bidding for
envy hands down

Lamarism and It's Atmosphere.

After the new lobbying, the new

startling enough, but on reflection it
turns out to be not unnatural modi-

ling of raking in and unloading, OF
getting something for nothing will
from time to time produce a Lamar.

FACTS ABOUT THE RAILROADS
American Lines Far In the Lead Gin
Somp1Ti.o" with Those .:
Other Countries.

The United States has 81. 900 moro
miles OF railway than all Europe. .This
excess would reach twice about the
world.
Our railroads carry a little hess
freight than those OF Europe. but roll
up more than twice as many ton-mdles
In 1912 the ton-mile record Of America
was 267. 2ss. 600 900; of all Europet1l7.-
BAT DOC, 600.
American railroads receive 20 per
cent. more freight revenue than Euro
pean, the ton-mile rate being much
lower. Passenger revenue is 20 per
cent. less; the total slightly greater.
The railway property of the world
as whole is not very profitable. Much
Of 1t was built for political or military
reasons. The United States, Germany.
Canada, Japan and British India have
the most profitable railways. In Italy
the net revenue 10 only 1T. per cent.

average for the world 10 less than four,

those Of Russia. about $4,000. and
Hungary. about $1,000: those Of the
United States are about $79,0O-or
$60,043 mile, according to Professor
Adams, who deducts railway stock and
bonds owned by roads from total ,cap-
italizAtion.
American railways killed in 1919 go
passengers, 1853 train hands and SSH
others. European railways killed 554
passengers. following figures IN some
cases much less recent, or more than
twice as many per mile: 2,80 en-
ployes and 4,465 others. Tramps ,and
trespassers bring our total per mile
rather higher. Russia, with similar
tramp conditions. has much the high.

difference. This being so. the sound
policy of reform and progress would
seem to lie in the improvement OF the

(New York World): Mr.. McReynolds
has given TO the enemies of the Wilson
administration their first opening. He
has proved to be the weak spot in the
presidents armo-. AS long as he re-
mains in the office OF attorney general
the department of justice will be under
suspicion. 1t is the point at which the
Wilson administration will be attacked
at every turn. and ii is the point at
which the administration can not az
ford TO he attacked. In the enforce
ment Of the law the country must be-
lieve that the Wilson administration
is beyond all private and privileged IN
iuence. There will be no such belief
while Mr. McReynolds holds the office
of attorney general. The confidence
that is imperative has been forfeited
1t can be restored only by the retire
ment Of Mr.. McReynolds and the APP
pointment of an attorney general who
will not repeat the blunders that have
DESTROYED Mr.. McReynoids' usefulness
as head of the department of Justice.
Incidentally if the secretary Of labor
and the commissioner Of immigration
should retire to private life with him.
We can not believe that the public sell
vice will suffer in consequence.
