BlOgrapherS of famous men general
sly make great mistake. They show
how great their heroes were in mid
career. and think it necessary to pre-
face this with fiowery account of the
promise of greatness that these heroes
gave as boys and young men. What
would be much more interesting as
well as more truthful would be the re-
counting of how little promise of any
thing but complete failure a number
Of the Caesars of the world have
shown in youth.
War has been always the great dis
coverer of hidden genius. The reason
for this probably lies in the fact that
the man who succeeds in military af-
fairs must have singularly clear abil-
ity to put thought into action. The
very lucidity of this ability to trans
late battles him in times of peace. for
the complex patchwork of ordinary
existence requires patient compromises
rather than swift decisions. The mud
dler in business may be the Napoleon
of field of action, not because war is
unbusinesslike lit is the most difficult
of all businessl but because business
is too often muddled. For example it
was a typical soldierly trick for Funs-
ton, when suddenly placed in charge
of a Kansas newspaper during the
proprietor's vacation to change it from
a democratic to republican organ. OF
course he was fired" on the spot But
it was fundamentally the same SOL
diery trick which enabled Colonel
Funston later to change Aguinaldo
from a dangerous rebel into a harm
less prisoner, and this time he wasn't
fired"
Funston was failure as a newspa-
perman He had the notion that a re-
porter's life was the most romantic
and exciting life in the world-a no
ton that is entertained by every one
who is not a reporter. In 1895 we
find the little kansan in New York
| City looking for work as a reporter
and being turned down. He learned
that the Cuban junta was sending men
into the field. He applied, but was
turned down cold" as less promising
as soldier than as a reporter. This
was largely on account of his small
Standardization was only five feet
and weighed only 100 pounds-but
also because the junta had heard the
American volunteers were unsatisfac-
tory. Going out Of the office, Funston
met a friend, who told him that what
the Cubans really wanted was men
who could work Hotchkiss guns. So
he went to the Hotchkiss people and
in the course of the afternoon was
made over into an artillery officer
So he again presented himself to the
junta and was soon in charge of all the
Cuban Hotchkisses as we'll as of the
Simms Dudley dynamite pieces and
became a colonel in the Cuban army
The man who had failed with the type
writer and the editors blue pencil had
found the machine that was meant for
him
If ever failure had marked a man
Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1916-06-30

There is no need of going into detail
on this question; the fact that practi-
cally all the best land of Mexico is
owned by handful of "cientificos' AMI
a still smaller group of foreign con-
cessionaries, is proof enough.
The United States has not yet de-
clared war. 1t may even now be avert
ed, although the chances are all in
favor Of war. But if war comes the
United States will do its duty. no more
and no less. The conquest of Mexico
by arms has never been our purpose.
What we would most like TO accomp-
lish would be the conquest of Mex
leo by system of education and en-
lightenment, that the poor, downtrod-
den, war-ridden people may be given
chance to strike off their shackles
and take their place once more as one
Of the worlds respected nations.

THE WISDOM OF GOVERNMENT
MANUFACTURE OF NUM-
TIONS OF WAR,
(From the Speech of Congressman
William f. Cox of Indiana.)

(From the Speech of Congressman
William Z. Cox of Indiana.)
Mr.. Chairman, to read the large city
newspapers one would think the Unit
ed States has steadily neglected its
army and navy and that congress has
been exceedingly stingy in making ap-
preparations for these two arms of the
government The truth is our govern
ment has increased its appropriations
for and on account of war faster than
any nation in the world has in time Of
peace. In the last 10 years we have
spent for war and on account of war
81 00,000,000, enough to pay off the
national debt, dig the Panama canal,
and pay the expenses of every church
and school in the United States for an
entire year; and for every 500 we
have collected from the people we have
paid SGT out, all on account of war,
and a very large slice of the money we
have appropriated for the army and
navy has gone to four firms, which up
to this time have had complete monop-
oily of the manufacture of armor plate
and powder.
Since 1903 we have bought from the
Midvale company 1899 tons of armor
plate, and paid for it 1920 per ton, or
in all $20,375,S5S for the single item
of armor plate alone, not to say any
thing about other millions of dollars
worth Of contracts that have been
given to the Midvale company for other
things used by the army and navy;
and during the same time we have

poration (the Schwab company 95,-
! 007 tons of armor at an average rate
of S445 per ton; and we have paid the
| Bethlehem company for armor plate
alone $42,344, 937, not counting the mil

Germ for other munitions of war.
During the same time we have
bought from the Carnegie Steel COM
pany, of which J. P. Morgan is close
ly associated, S9,943 tons of armor
plate, paying SAP per ton on an aver
age; in all, $3S,7S3,49 for the single
item of armor plate.
| In all we have bought from these
three firms 233,339 tons of armor plate
paying an average of $459 per ton, a
total of $102 ,504.929 Remember the
figures, S439. There have been IL
official estimates by government Off
GERS as to the cost of armor plate in a
government factory, and the average OF
their estimates is $251 per ton; and
had we manufactured this armor in a
government factory, l think l am vel
within the bounds of conservatism il
saying we would have saved at least
s35, 100000 on armor alone. So if oul
