LETS HAVE MORE OF HIM.
Everybody made a winning
when General Leonard Wood was
confirnfbd by the sonata tlieother
day as a major general Of lli
United States army.
General Wood-is ono of two
generation's great men. Nobody
knew of him at the outbreak ol
the Spanish-American war. Bu
emergency revealed the man. Ho
proved himself the man of all
others to make the war and its
results the. success that the
American people intended they
should be. His government oi
Cuba and his tactful manage-
ment of that difficult people will
go down in history as (me of the
world's greatest victories in
peace. His ad minist ration of the
Pliillipines is adding daily to his
reputation and placing him mo
and more in the hearts of his
countrymen.
Like all men who labor with
singleness of purpose and who
rise in the scale of fame by the
sheer force of their greatness he
has been violently attacked. All
attacks have come to nothing.
Let us grow more timber like
Major General Wood.
TAXPAYE RS will find no fault
with the council for attempting
to save all unnecessary .expense,
but the proposition to save a few
dollars by refusing to publish
the official proceedings. of~tho
council will meet with no favor
whatever. Th law does not
compel the council topub'ish its
proceedings, but people are en-
titled to know what the council is
doing, what bills they are allow-
ing and to whom they arc paying
out the city's money. The coun-
cil cannot afford at any price to
keep the public in ignorance ol
what it is doing.
THERE are 40,000 children in
the schools of Minuo
tjiolis and
thousand or two for whom then-
are no buildings. It is the proud
boast of every country town in
the land that its children all have
an equal chance for an education
and the city has something to
learn from the country in this
respect.
ONE of the funiest cartoons of
the century is a picture of Presi-

ing owt on a sea of democrats
huzzaing for Parker, Hearst, et
cetera and wistfully and almost
wishing he were a democrat.
THE state labor bureau reports
that employees of the butcher

though working in a meat shop
was not meat to them.
