Universal military training has re-
ceived the official endorsement of the
American Medical association. not be-
cause the organization is warlike
body, but because it sees in such
course great advantages to the oncom-
ing manhood of America. Military
training for American youth will be-
come much simpler matter when the
war has ended than 1t would have
been in the past. The government will
be in possession of a large number OF
thoroiy equipped camps in which 1t
has invested many millions of dollars
The only expense for putting into eff
feet universal military training would
be the cost of transportation, food and
equipment. That the benefits to be
derived would far exceed the cost
scarcely admits of a doubt. The fact
that we may never have another war
need not be considered. The matter
should be viewed in the light of an
investment. promising great returns
in health and efficiency. The country
spends immense sums on the educa-
ton of its young men and no better
or more profitable schools could be
devised than those of the military
training camps.

where a fire has been burning under

was started1 simultaneously in seven
big mines in the vein during the strike
disturbances which occurred in 1884
It has been fed by more than 10000
900 tons of the finest soft coal in the
United States. The fire has spread
over about eighteen square miles OF
territory, and has actually consumed
about 1900 acres of a coal vein that
in places is fifteen feet in thickness,
averaging nine and one-half feet. So
far the fire has defied- every effort to
extinguish it. says Popular Mechanics,
and promises to be still burning a
hundred years hence. The coal vein
that is burning is said by mining ex-
perts to be the finest vein in the Hook
ing valley district. and perhaps the
finest soft coal vein in the United
States. 1t has been found impossible

Building of concrete boats having
proven a success. it Is now planned to
follow with concrete railroad cars.
According to the Providence Journal
this accommodating material is to be
used, in reinforced form. for the con-
struction of cars of the gondola type.
for the transportation of coal and
other bulk commodities. 1t is claimed
that these cars can be more quickly
and cheGply built from concrete than
from any other material. and that the
experience of sea-going boats shows
that the fabric when properly made
will stand enormous stress without let
ting go. Success along these lines is
important. as the wide use of concrete

"Object to Published Reflections on

Everything was serene in the meet
ing of the Topeka Industrial council
last night, with the business of the
organization going along in its usual
decorous manner, until the proceed
ings had reached the good of the
order place. when a member OF the
council mentioned recent news story
printed in the evening paper. alleged
to reflect on the character of the presi-

"A bomb placed in the center OF
the room would have caused no great

Previous to that time the council
had voted to endorse the ice cream

labor at the city park Monday evening

The Chamber Of Commerce today
secretly took some action. 1t needs
shaking up and revivifying.
1t will lose standing and influence
among the local merchants and work
ing men if it is going to harbor the
vicious elements connected with the
Nonpartisan League, and thers is a
crowd of that sort, attempting to run
it.
Certain men posing as working men
in the Chamber Of Commerce and at
tempting to lead are unworthy the
class they pretend TO represent.
The sooner the better elements

them the quicker loyalty and real serv-
