One Benefit q Modification.

One important benefit Of the mobilization of
the National Guard is shown In the gradual adap.
tation Of modern methods to army camp life The
lessons Of 1898 are slowly but surely being sup
piled. One evidence OF this Is found In the action
Of the senate, which has just made appropriation
Of money to provide for floors and screens for
the tents in which the soldiers are housed. One
Of the absurdities Of our army administration has
been the persistence Of primitive methods In
camp. In the field hardships are expected. and
are readily endured but In camp reasonable con-
veniences and protection should not be denied
merely for the sake Of inuring men to d;scomforts
We should not expect young men to change from
comfortable homes, where they have had the adj
vantage Of seiensifc equipment for the preserva-
ton Of health, 10 tents with no accommodations.
nd still remain in good health and full vigor. En-
.rience in Texas so far shows some improvement
over the concentration camps Of 1893, but not
enough. Army officers are not Responsible for
our lagsafd methods, for they have often enough
protested and made suggestions, but their advice
has been ignored BY congress. The situation As
developed will be worth all Il costs II il brings
improvements u methods Of handling and proyid.
ing for our volunteer army in the field.

Yes, we know it, but why rub it in on US!
Why should not United States senator stand

federal reserve banks was up during Mr.. Bryan's
incumbency as secretary Of state, he did not hes.
itate openly to champion the claims Of Lincoln
which otherwiss would not even have been con.
sidered, and i was largely in consequence that
the prize went to Kansas City. II the senator
