The good fellow business is one Of
the serious defects OF popular gov

Why should a man vote for another
man, whom he would refuse to lead

candidate is to handle and dominate
a public business that spends many
thousands annually?
Why should a voter hasten TO APP

whom he would not hire to run

ration?

men do not feel sorrow enough for an

President Wilson. according to Con.

to the Hay bill. Mr.. Hay stated tina,
he was authorized to bring the bill
before rhe house with the president $
name behind it.
This bill proposes a peace strength
of 10000 regular troops which may
be increased to 10000 on emergency.
This bill also makes much dependence
upon the militia federalizing the ma
tional guardsmen to receive pay from
the federal government for services
and giving the power TO use them in
defence Of the Monroe doctrine.
But Secretary Garrison's plan for a
continental army Of 100000 also was
President Wilson's pet plan. When
the president started west to tell the
Mississippi valley what it should do
he was as full Of immense numbers as
Garrison.
Poor Garrison was the goat He had

the plan that broke him was approved
by the president is no secret. Every
one in Washington knows that Secre-

long before he sprung his plan and

The only defenders OF vaccination in
this country are the doctors. who were
the first to recognize Its benefits. Why
is It that the average doctor is per-
fectly willing to vaccinate everybody
on the town plat and yet prefers to
keep his own arm in an unblemished
and shapely condition? II every pa
tient would require his family physi-
clan to be vaccinated first, there would
be fewer people going around with

GUARDSfEN HEAD ARMY.

L
Until the last two or three years
anyone who mentioned the name Of
General Wood to one of the older
officers Of the United States army
would have received this reply:
General Wood? pause indicat-
ing puzzle as to IDENTIFY On! You
mean Doctor Wood"
From this 1t may readily be guessed
that General Wood is not q graduate
OF West Point, but that he does hold
the degree Of doctor of medicine. He
WAS a national guard officer years
ago. then became a physician in the
army medical corps. and recruited the
rough ride: regiment ;o5 volunteer
service at the outbreak Of hostilities
with Spain. President Mckinley
commissioned him in the regular
army and Roosevelt promoted him to
the rank OF major general in 1908.
On account Of this irregular record,

his name Is spoken.

as a soldier of fortune in the Cuban
insurrection. and commission as
colonel Of regiment OF Kansas vol
unteers when he EVAN a river In the
Philippines under fire and carried the
lines for pontoon bridge that brought
his men into control OF an important
insurrecto position. This brought him
commission in the regular army. and
