TRIBUTE TO A GREA IF NEWSPAPER.

NO SCANDAL YET.



 ErWNIIE HURLY-BURLY of embarking the
 Lrst4d States troops for Cuba in 1898 Els still clearly remembered The supplies scandals of that period are still oderiferous. Many peossis have been expecting similar blots would defaee inc army record as soon as the troops should be moved outside American soil.
 The placing Of szable army in Mexico is a big proposition. But it is no bigger proposi- #tion that the building and operation of our rail- roads. If army inefficiency should develop later let the American people clearly under stand that these troubles are perfectly needless and remediable. The moment public service work is taken out of politics and put bus mess basis it can be conducted with the mini mum of friction that is seen in private enter prises
 It is a source for patriotic congratulations that the army and navy movements so far un- dertaken hav1 been handled systematically, and that our forces are comfortably fed and Iequipped, and the wounded and suffering have been skiIlfull cared for.

WAR AND THE TOURIST.

west this coming year, probably in
greater numbers than has ever been seen
in the West. We refer to the "idle" rich
and the hordes of tourists.
This may not be laid entirely at the
doors Of the P. P l. Exposition at San
francisco. The war raging in Europe will
be responsible for thousands touring the
West that did not dream of coming to the
Coast for the Exposition. While many Of
the travellers will come on de luxe" trains,
thousands will probably make the trip in
automobiles stopping at night at the most
convenient farm houses. They will be en-.
tertalned with true western hospitality, and
will become most ardent boosters of this
fertile country upon their return to the
East.
This is what President John A. Wilson,
of the American Automobile Association, is
quoted as saying last week on his return
from Europe:
t.is my guess that in 1915 many Ameri-
cans who annually motor abroad will be-
come better acquainted with their own
country.
Granted that we need many miles of
real highway to get our road travellers to
the scenic sections of the country, we are
improving our arteries of communication
more substantially than is the case even in
France, where its network Of well-built
roads will serve the country in the warfare
now raging" he continued
"That many Americans will take advant-
age of year or so to remain in their
home country while the war continues in
Europe means that they will become bet
ter acquainted with America and realize
that its scenic wonders more than compare
with what can be found abroad and while
they may find difficulty in reaching Vel
lowstone and getting within its gates, not
yet thoroughly comfortable in viewing the
snow-clad peaks of Glacier Park; limited
In their motor opportunities in the Yose-
mite, and able to reach the Grand Canyon
over the road only after struggle, the
interchange of road travellers by the vari-
GUS parts of the country will accentuate
and accelerate the demand for improved
roads and a proper participation by the
federal government in accomplishing a
work Of the greatest value to the nation as
. whole"

BLooDED CATTLE FOR NORTHWEST.

TOR THE PURPOSE of improving the
breed of cattle in the Pacific North
west some important purchases of
English cattle have been made in England
for James j. Hill. One shipment is of so
dairy Shorthorn bulls which will be given
4way to as many counties in that section
of the country. Each one Of these bulls is
born of COW with milk record of 10000
pounds or more year.
Besides the gift of these blooded animals
to the farmers of the Northwest, herd
of 10 cows and bull of South Devons, the
first to be imported to America, will be
sent to Hills Minnesota farm as well as two
prize-winning dairy Shorthorns to his North
Dakota farm.
The purchases were made by Professor
Thomas Shaw, the well-known expert of

A FWO-MINUTE HORSE.

h EARLY quarter of a century ago,
v Nelson, the Northern king, turned the
Grand Rapids track in 2:10 and that
mile stands today as the best performance
of trotting stallion, pulling a high wheel
ed sulky over a regulation track.
Over the same oval several weeks ago
there was paced mile by the 4year-old
horse William that will live as long in
turf history as the one Of Nelson. We
have at last genuine two-minute race
horse, the realization of a hope that a
generation ago was scoffed at as being only
a dream.
When William led Walter Cochato home
that second heat in 200 he earned for HIM
self undisputed title as king Of PAGERS That
thesnew champion has greater honors in
store is the belief Of all who saw him in
his matchless feat of short time ago, for
at the finish he was going well within him
self
William gets his name from his driver,
William Marvin, who by the way, is no kin
to the famous reinsman whose name is link
ed with the champions Of the house Of Elec-
tioneer. When first sent to Marvin for
training the colt bore the name of Billy
Jay. He was not raced as a 2-year-old, and
showed only mile in 2:20 Last season
he raced six times without defeat, taking
record Of 2:05, making him the fastest
PAGER Of his age.

LAST OF KILLING MEN.

figures on the expense Of war, includ-
ing the cost OF killing a man. That is OBJ
tanned by dividing the total cost of war
to one side by the number of men killed on
the other side
In 1070-1S71 France spent $400, 100000 in
the actual expenses of the war with Ger
many. Repairing materials and giving sue
cor to the victims of the war, expenses that
are justly to be added, cost another $780,
100000 France paid $100O,00O 900 as war
indemnity, plus another 100000 900 in in
terest on the sum, loss of revenue forced
contributions by the enemy and upkeep of
the German army Of occupation.
On a similar basis here are some facts
about other wars:
Russo Turkish War (1S77-1S7S) Turkey,
$4000O0,00O
RussoJapanese war 19o5)-Russia, ST..
20O,0OO,OOO.
The number of men killed or who died Of
wounds in these wars were:
Franco Prussian War-Germans, 28,6OQ
Russo Turkish War-Russians, 16,600.
Russo-Japanese War-JapaneSe, $500.
From which it is figured that the cost %
killing each man was as follows:
In 1S70-71 $21 ,000
In 1S77187S, $4,000
In 1905, $2O,400.
What killed the greatest number and re-
duced the effective force most is not the
rifle or cannon, but fatigue, typhus OF
cholera
In 1870, $4,000 Germans entered the
hospitals. Although they did not die of their
illness, they were none the less made useless
for certain time. In the Crimean War the
allied armies lost four times as many men
through disease as were killed in battle
This proportion was to l among the Rus
slams in 1877 1878; it was only to among
the Japanese in Manchuria, thanks to their
excellent hygiene.

WHO HAS BENEFITED?
Some Pertinent Remarks on the
Underwood Tariff.
Surely the Facts, Since II Was inflicted
on the Country, Justify Republican
Faith in the Policy Of
Protection.

Has anything occurred since 1912
10 convince the Republican party that
It's attitude on the tariff was wrong 7?
On The contrary, has not a great deal
occurred to strengthen the belief of
the country at large that the protec-
tive policy is fundamentally correct 4?
Has employment increased under the
Democratic tariff? Are our industries
in more flourishing condition? Has
the cost of living been reduced? To
each or these questions must a mega
tive reply be given. Thousands of
laborers, skilled and unskilled have
been thrown out OF work vet when
has 1t cost them so much TO live? Prior
TO the outbreak OF the European war
the government was confronted with
a revenue shortage, despite the fact
that an income tax had been levied to
make up for the loss in tariff duties. In
the meantime our exports had fallen
If and for the first time in many years
the balance of trade was against us.
In the second Cleveland administra-
ton resort was had to a bond issue
to defray the running expenses of the
issue we now have war taxes" al
though we are engaged in no war.
The excuse is convenient, however,
and serves to distract attention from
tie failure Of the Underwood tariff
even in times of universal peace to
provide sufficient revenue. Free sugar
alone means loss of S60,000,O00 a
year. Has any housewife discovered
that sugar is cheaper?
Well may Republicans sheer at the
New Freedom" and well may they re-
affirm their faith in protection. Condi-
tions abundantly justify every declara-
tion that was made by them in their
platform of two years ago The New
Freedom has not benefited a single
! industry. II has not increased the
wages or the employment of single
workinSman. 1t has not lowered the
cost of living. Ii has not supplied
enough revenue to run the govern
ment. In April there was no war
in Europe. yet during that month our
purchases of foreign-made goods ex-
ceeded by S36,000,000 our purchases in
April Of the previous year. During
the same month our exports of Amer
ican-made goods fell off s37 100000
Here was loss in a single month I'M
der the Underwood act of $72, 600, 900,
most of which under a Republican tar
iff would have been paid for Ameri-
can goods made by American work
men. Is it surprising that the Repub-
lican party fails to recognize the i'm
mense advance made by the Democ-
racy," and that in respect to the tar
if it stands just where it did on
the day after Wilson was elected?"

Keen the NAVY Efficient.

The least that congress can do for
the national defense is to keep the
navy afloat. Men must be provided in
time of peace. When war breaks out
it is too late to undertake the drilling
OF men to handle modern guns and the
intricate machinery OF battleships.
Modern men-of-war's men are skilled
mechanics, electricians and gunners,
who cannot be picked up from recruit
Ing stations at random. A battleship
must be planned three years ahead of
the date of commission Along with
the preparation for new ship should
go the enlistment of men to fill the
enlarged needs. The withdrawal of
last years ships in order to man newer
vessels is as wasteful and dangerous a
policy as any nation could adopt No
enemy of the United States could wish
for any better plan to cripple the eff
fectiveness of the navy.

Costly Tariff Exnerinnents-

Under the Republican protective
policy all the industries OF the coun.
try prospered. When this policy has
been for period Suspended. as it was
in 1898 and again in 1913, business de.
moralization both times followed, and
this Generalization of business in
each instance brought distress more
or less grievous to more than a mil.
lion Of wage-earners. The country
has paid dearly for the experiment
every time the Democratic party, with
the free-trade theories, has been
boosted into power. In 1912 the Dem
ocratic party slipped in through the
crack, SO to speak 1t would never
have got in If the Republican party
had not cracked-or divided. II the
latter word sounds better The coun.
try has had enough
