for an incompetent.
"Mr. Medill was the last Of the
great personal forces In old.time jour.
nalism. His part In making American
history just before the civil war was
far more important than Is now gen
orally known. His name Is only .
memory in the great newspaper he
conducted with such steady success
for SO many years. To the public OF
this city, which he did SO much to
build, 1t means nothing. The memory
Of these times goes back no more than
five years. Anything beyond that IL
old stun that nobody wants to hear.
Which is all right, too, for these are
the busiest days In the known history
Of the human race. and you cant 20
forward looking backward. There's
enough to think about and to do In the
immediate present.
1T Is narrow view that laments
the oblivion which swallows names
once lofty and borne by the doors Of
lofty deeds. The effects Of the deeds
are there, and that Is all that mat
ters. The doors were as all other
men, the very substance Of whose Am.
bition was and ever shall be but the
shadow of a shade. Mr.. Medill did his
appointed work. and went away, a.
shall oil Of US, great or small; but the
work il not lost.
1T is pleasant to print this passing
reminder Of so fine personality. And
pleasant to acknowledge the courtesy
that enables Its presentation from the
hands OF one who was In the original
organization of the Press Club, and
who was good enough in his lawful
occasions to draw so intimate an ex-
preston from SO eminent man."

CUT OUT THE DREDGING GRAFT.

Congressman Thomson of Chicago.

the people are soaked for alleged

cut out this kind of political graft and
save everybody from a big war tax.

ment from Washington that Congress.

man Charles NJ. Thomson Of Chicago.
denouncine many Of the contemplated
appropriations In the s53,000,0o0 river
and harbor bill as grossly improper.
The river and harbor bill carries
appropriations for $4,000, 900, OF which
s5,000,000 Is for new projects author.
lied by this bill and which will require
$4,000, 900 more to complete says Mr..
Thomson's statement.
This makes total expenditure Of
ss5,000.00o appropriated for or author.
lied in this bill. In addition to this
there Is s52,000,00O now In the treas.
ury and available for river and harbor
Improvement works under previous ap.
preparations, which makes n total OF
sl37,O00,000 now in the river and har.
hor pork barrel.
The house Is about to consider a
war tax bill. I presume present con
ditions warrant that step. But there
are two ways Of accomplishing that
object. One Is by levying more taxes
The other Is by cutting off needless
expenditures. II war tax Is neces
sary why not begin by taxing pork
and other eXtravagances? In other
words, II the treasury needs s100,000
coo let us accomplish that end by kill
ing the river and harbor bill, thus
stopping appropriations aggregatine
$50 100000, and direct that the money
in the treasury now available for river
and harbor projects, amounting tc
$50 100000, be retained in the treasury
and the completion OF the Legitimate
projects involved be postponed until
they can be better afforded.
If the advocates Of the pending
river and harbor bill persist in putting
II through in anything like its present
form and succeed in doing so ! shall
vote against any bill calling for an
additional tax in the shape Of war
tax, no matter what its terms are"

Dear Mr.. Eaton: Thank you very
much for copy OF The Scoop Of July

preciative editorial notice. II Is sor.
rowful to me to think that the name
Of Joseph Medill may be forgotten in

revere his memory. My father was

CHIEF OF RUSSIA'S ARMY

The car is nominally the su.
preme commander of the Russian
army as well as Of the Russian navy,
and II is understood that when war
was declared he was ambitious to
place himself at the head of the troops
In the field. But he has been per.
suaded to delegate the supreme com.
mand of the army to his cousin, the
Grand Duke Nicholas Nicholaevitch.
The car would not be an inspiration
to his soldiers. lacking the military
appearance and the personality essen.
tial to an actual leader of men.
The Grand Duke Nicholas, on the
other hand, Is a soldier In looks, one
OF the tallest men In the army, and
