Farcy Drill! at the Arrno7y.
No ore who watched the fancy drill
given at the armory last night by the
crack cril squad of Shattuck Military
school of Faribault could doubt the
value of military training for young
men. The splendid bearing of the
cadets, their clocklike response to or
ders, and movement together as of
one body, excited the admiration of
the large crowd of spectators, who
applauded each special action. The
early part of the evening was spent
in dancing, and as this was the first
dancing party following the Lenten
season, and parties given by Company
II are always popular, the large arm
DRY hall was crowded with dancers,
many of the ladies appearing in even
ing dress. At 10:40 the floor was
cleared, and the sharp report of a
rifle rang out from toward the door.
Instantly all eyes turned in that di-
rection as the twelve young men
commanded by the squad captain
marched in, their uniformed figures
WIZ Ming toSc'hci III SBiEiuiu cliiSol',
and enthusiastic applause greeting
them. With scarcely a pause the cap
tain worked the young men steadily
for half an hour or more, and the
many beautiful figures of the drill
were given without hesitation by the
squad which worked as one man.
Alertness, quick response to orders,
and the control of every muscle of
the body was evinced by each man in
the drill. The drill as given last night
will be presented by the squad at the
commencement ball to be given at
Shattuck school next June. Lieuten-
ant Grunert and Squad Captain Rouse
were in charge of the drill squad.
Following the drill the remainder Of
the evening was spent in dancing.

\ BANKRUPTCY IN LEADERSHIP.
(From Collier,s.l


1t must be a very superficial OBJ
server who has failed to notice that
the popularity of President Wilson
has receded from its high tide, as the
public approval of his acts. The
causes of this are mixed. Stated in
the broadcast way, it will probably be
fair to say that the feeling OF the
public toward the President is rather
puzzled. He has not lived up to the
picture OF him which the public. with
or without good reason, made for IT,
self. The reasons are partly peeu-
llarities of temperament and partly
that the President did not supply ag-
gressive leadership at a time when the
country's mood would have been bet
ter satisfied by aggressive leadership
Any one who will take the trouble to
analyze President Wilson's career in
the White House can not fail to OBJ
serve that his achievements have been

and attractive expression Of high
ideals. This is reflected in a phrase
frequently seen nowadays In the pub
lie press, namely that the President
deals wholly in ideas and lets ideas
take the place OF facts and things.
The public feeling, which is disap-
poitment in the case OF the President,
is somewhat more acute in the case OF
the Democratic party. The leadership
of the Democratic party is stubbornly

Kitchin chose to make fight he could

was removed to his home, where every

OF the tobacco stick was pointed while
