We beg to differ in this particularinstance front these eminent states-men The proper kind of photographol a boundary post sliowing the contour of the siirrdiindilig dduntrywould furnish under certain condi-

tions valuable and we might saypriceless evidence in case of disputeThe United States has had a numberof contentions of this kind with itsneighbors in the past liftS one ponding in fnet at thp present inomoa-tDj Messrs Giliett Slid Cannon meanto wy that photographs of boundary

portant factor in preventing the pres-entation of a claim uch as Canadahas now the hardihood to set up inAlaska

The Nelson Amendment

Its Efficacy to Be Determined Only byPractical Experiment

There are wide differences of opin-ion regarding the efficacy of the Nel-

son 10 the Department ofCommerce and Labor act Theamendment was xsmifed jn the Houseby the advocate of drastic antitrustlegislation as while italso defended as a better measure ofpublicity thun had been presented tttany other bill

Peru K the re J strength or weakinss of thu luentmre cannot be fullydetermined until after it has gone intoeffect But the fat that it thispublicity feature of the bill which wasantagonized by the ttornps o cer-

tain large ini iattt thatit it not likely to be wholly ineffective

The New War College

Its Value to the Army and to Local

Educational InterestsTomorrow as an appropriate fea-

ture of the general celebration onelay ahead of Washingtons BirthdayPresident Roosevelt will lay the cor-

nerstone of the new War College onthe Arsenal point reservation

This ceremony will have both localand national significance For whileit will mark for us an important ex-

tension of Washingtons influence asan educational center it will mark forthe country at large a first step takentoward the creation of a muchneededschool of higher military training

The conversion of the old SouthWashington Barracks into a seat ofgraduate military instruction has beenor c of the many projects of army re-

form on which the present Secretaryof War has lavished his administra-tive energies It is the natural com-

plement of his other program of armyreorganisation now also happily ac-

cepted by a lugging Congress For ifSecretary Roots first purpose was tolift the army to a strength commen-surate with national needs amid nation-al growth his second has been to vi-

talize and modernize the expandedmilitary arm and bring it into imctligout touch with mill the changed con-

ditions of latterday warfareThat the enlarged and reorganized

araiy lacked specialized and technicalinstruction was evident from a glancent the changes its peraonnel had un-

dergone since the outbreak of theSpajiiish war From April 3SOS toOctober 1903 1S1S officers werecommissioned Of these only 27Cor about 15 per graduatesof West Point Of time others 010were appointed from the volunteersorrice 414 were promoted from theranks and 512 were taken directlyfrom civil life

Training such as the new War Col-

lege is to furnish is therefore one ofthe urgent and immediate needs of themilitary establishment Minor schoolsthe department already has at FortsTotten Monroe Riley and Leavenworth But a central graduate institution was required to round A d com-

plete the education of the officers inall a great majority who havemissed the advantages of an originaland thorough military training

The War College is destined to playan increasingly important rote in ouriiiiHtary history The country willwelcome its establishment as an addedmeans of national defense Washing-tonians will hail it not only as suchlimit also as a striking contribution tothe National Capitals resources as acenter of education and intelligence

The Statehood Fight

Better an Extra Session Than the Crea

tion of Unripe CommonwealthsWith only ten days left of time short

session the fight over the omnibusStatehood bill is still on and urgentlegislation is blocked by it

There are three things which mummy

happen Either Mr Quay and thehandful of Republican Senators act-

ing with him plus the Democraticcontingent may succeed in getting thebill through as an amendment to oneof time appropriation bills a compro-mise may be effected by which Arixona and New Mexico ItS one Stateand Oklahoma and the Indian Terri-tory as another will be admitted intothe Union or no agreement beingreadied and certain appropriationbills failing of passage an extra sea

on of the Fiftyeighth Congress may-

be calledOf those three possibilities Repub-

licans in Congress should not hesitateto accept responsibility for the lastAn extra session of Congress may be-

an inconvenience but there are worsethings and one of them is the irre-trievable blunder admitting halfbaked States

The Republicans in the Senate oweit not only to party discipline but tothe best interests of the country todefeat at all hazard the bill sent overfront tin House The temptation tocompromise in order to avert an oxim session of Congress may be strongbut it should be resolutely resisted

THE FIELD OF VIEWS AND INCIDENTSS-

outh Really Does Not Expect Representation on Democratic National History of the 1900 Not the Hon

John Sharp Williams in 1904 Silver Lifts Its Head in Culloms New Story

POLITICSGOSSIPTicketUntold ConventionWhy

fIowaSenator

Southern Man Not Wanted-A or so before the Democratic

National Convention as far back perhapsas 1888 there always has boon talk ofplacing n Southern man on the tlckotgenerally for the Vice Presidency Againthe suggestion has been made buttime It mentions the Presidency as wellas second place

The reason is obvious The SoutlTls thebackbone of the Democracy and furnishes that party with the bulk of its elec-toral votes without which It could hopefor nothing and with winch It has onlybeen able to succeed twice since thewar Of course everybody knows that-a Southern man will not be nominatedfor many years to come it would besuicidal to do so not that such a manwould not be ae loyal to the flag andthe Constitution as any man from anyother section but sentiment Is some-times stronger than reason and senti-ment would be against such action

No Southern man really expects thatthe Democratic party will go south ofMason and Dlxons Line for either itsPresidential or Vice Presidential can-

didate In the convention of 1806 SouthCarolina cast a complimentary vote toSenator Tillman but he Is not an exConfederate and In the convention of190 North Carolina voted on first callfor Gen Julian S Carr of that State forVice President but when it was soonthat the trend was toward former VicePresident Stevenson promptly changedhor vote to him

Cannack Favored by BryanMr Bryan suggested the name of Sen-

ator Carmack of Tennessee really-if a Southern man Ja to be consideredat all why should the Hon John SharpWilliams be overlooked He Is con-

to be one of the ablest men in theDemocratic party either In or out ofCongress He will be the minorityleader in the Houso in the next Con-

gress and by reason of this positionwill have bed an additional and morefavorable opportunity to display hisabilities before the national conventionmeets The fact that he was only sevenyear of age when the war broke outwas probably the only circumstancewhich kept him from being a Confed-erate soldier but that should not becounted against him His father wasan officer In the Southern army and waskilled at Shiloh but in this day andgeneration the sins of the fathers sbouldnot be visited upon the sons

He IB conservative well balanced andqualified to hold any position He hasbeen steadily coining to the front forseveral years and holding the post ofminority leader he will be more conspicuous than heretofore and If anySouthern man is to be considered inconnection with the Presidential nom-

ination surely the Hon John SharpWilliams Is the man

Silverites in the FieldWith silver at 40 to 1 there is talk

in Iowa of again raising the standard ofthe white metal and asking Gen JamesB Weaver erstwhile GreonbackorFarmers Alliance Peoples Party andPopulist candidate for Presidency-to carry the banner The disintegration-of the Pops left General Weaver a manwithout a party and in his time hav-ing affiliated with many political or-

lion Furthermore tie said that amovement has boon started among thesilvorftee of the State withGeneral Weaver as their loader to ob-

tain control of the State organizationand thon push the propaganda work be-

yond the borders of IowaIt is well for the Democracy that such-

a foolhardy and Insane effort shouldbe made In Iowa rather than elsewhereThere it will do the least harm for Itis difficult to conceive of anything whichcould be done to place the party Inworse shape than It is just now In IowaThe guardian angel on a platform promising free passes to Paradise could notbo elected to a State office in Iowa Ifhe had ever been soon associating with-

a Democrat much less to run on thatpartys ticket

So It is as well that General Weavershould bo a candidate on a free and un-

limited coinage of silver slxtoontoonsplatform as any other It could do lit-

tle toward Injuring his chances It is afact which Is causing comment

that this talk of starting a silvercampaign comes at a time when the Re-

publicans of Iowa are badly split onthe question of revision or no revision-of tho tariff and that If there is anychance for the Democracy It Is by stepping in and widening the broach instead of cementing it by agitating sliver

Still It doesnt matter much what theDemocrats of Iowa do There are so fewo them that they are obliged to dosomething extraordinary in order to attract attention to themselves
