fc:in decided that no less than sixteen,
nd p:o'.,ab!y eighteen, exist'.ng army

Of Fort Apache It is said a possibil
ity of Indian trouble near this post
still exists, and that Fort Jay mlfjnt
bo retained as headquarters of the
eastern division and as the site of the
w.tern military prison.
Other Posts Doomed.
There Is another formidable list of
posts, which, while not recommended
for immediate abandonment, are do
olared not to be located with a view
of securing economy of administration
and surlily, or a full measure of mili
tary effectiveness. Consequently their
garrisens will not be increased and
ultimately will be withdrawn to such
concentration centers as congress may
authorise. These posts are; Ethan
Allen, Vermont; Plattsburg barracks,
New York; Robinson, Nebraska; Mis
soula, Montana; Logan, Co'orado;
Donelas, Utah, and D. A. Russell, Wy
oming. The tetter post is shown to have
cost to date $4 925 48t). It is said not
to be located with a view to maximum
economy or strategic effectiveness.
Secretary Stimson's report is made
in answer to a house resolution by
Representative Bulkley of Ohio. The
inquiry has developed interesting in
formation regarding the plans of the
military strategists for the future dis
position of the army and Its move
ments. Future Plans for Army.
The principal object is to dispose
of the present small army with dis
tinct reference to its mission in case
i war. This first involves adequate
forces for foreign garrisons, which
cannot be reinforced from the United
States after the outbreak of hostilities.
With the remainder of the army a mo
bi'e force is to be organized and dis
tributed among about eight of the
gwmt strategical points in the Un'd
States, instead of scattered in forty
nine posts, as now
The following posts are said to bo
so located as to permit of their being
retained as strategic concentration
jKtfnts: Fort Porter, nuffalo. N. Y.;
Fcirt Og'etj orpe, Georgia; Fort Mc
pherson, Atlanta, Oa.; Fort Sam Hons
tou, Texas; Fort Lawton, near Seat
tle, Wnsh., and Vancouver barracks,
Washington, near Portland; and the
presidios of San Francisco and Monte
rey, Cal.
Kext comeB a process of heavy elim
ination, for it Is held that probably
oni9 only of the follow'ng posts shou'd
bo retained: Benjamin Harrison, In
diana; Columbus barracks, Ohio; Fort
Sheridan, Illinois; Fort Des Moines.
Towa; Fort Crook, Omaha; Lenvrn

Young Men of the Country May
Well Look Up to Him as
Master of His Calling.
AS EDUCATOR AMD EXECUTIVE
In Particular, His Record as the Gov
ernor of New Jersey Shows Him
Worthy of Highest Position In
the Gift of trie People.
It would be hard to find a school
boy over the age of twelve years who
has not heard of the name of Wood
row Wilson.
Woodrow Wilson was born in
Staunton, Virginia, December 28th,
His father was the Rev. Joseph
R. Wilson and one of the most in
fluential churchmen of the south.
At the age of two years his father
moved to Augusta, Georgia, where he
took charge of one of the largest and
most influential churches in the
south. Augusta was then a city of
about 13,000 inhabitants, and it was
here that the boyhood of the future
governor of New Jersey and presi
dent of Princeton was spent.
Rev. Wilson moved to Columbia,
South Carolina, in the Autumn of
1870 and became a teacher in
the Southern Theological Seminary
which position be held for four years.
Woodrow continued to attend school,
but most of his training was under
the direct supervision of his father,
and in spite of his late years to
start at books be soon qualltled for
college and at seventeen he was sent
to Davidson College. North Carolina.
Princeton Training Valuable.
In the autumn of 1S75 be entered
Princeton, where he graduated with
the class of 1879. His going north
to college was fortunate, for it gave
him at an impressionable age an op
portunity to understand the north
ern, as well as the southern, point
of view.
In the autumn of 1885 he was
called to tbe chair of history and po
litical economy in Bryn Mawr Col
lege. This he held for three years,
when he was called to a similar po
sition In Wesleyan University He
remained there two years and was
called to his alma mater, Princeton, as
professor of jurisprudence and po
litical economy. Later in 1902 he was
elected . president of Princeton the
eecond oldest university in tbe
United States. He took his Ph. D.
degree on examination in 188G, sub
mitting as his thesis "Congressional
Government " This is considered the
highest degree conferred by Institu
tions of learning.
When Dr. WllBon came to the
presidency of Princeton he had been
known as a scholar, author and pub
lic speaker, but he was untested as
an executive.
In his presidential office he carried
out tbe idea of leadership which he
pronounced In his first book, and has
held ever since. In office and out of
office. He proposed something at
Princeton that was a radical change
from the old way; it was the com
plete reorganization of the university
in such a way as to bring into dally
communication and companionship
representatives of all classes and of
the faculty. Tbe proposal was
against the tradition of Princeton,
for It lent toward breaking up the
rclfelectlve clubs. "It sounded a
startling note of democracy and point
ed out broad ways by which the
youth of the country could be brought
up for the service of the country "
Young Men Look Up to Him.
Woodrow Wilson has been an in
oplratlon to many young men who
have looked up to him as a master
of his calling always helprul to oth
ers, as Individuals and as a body pol
itic. He copies after no one and In
dividual thought Is traceable In every
essay and book that ho wrote, but
always regardful of the rights of oth
ers. The reforms he has Inaugurated
since ho has been governor of New
Jersey probably the worst corporation-ridden
state In the union has put
him prominently before the world. All
over the country thoughtful men are
writing and saying that he will be
the Democratic nominee for the presi
dency when the convention convenes
next summer. He Is by nature and
adaptation tbe fittest man for that of
fice to be found In the United States.

done before in the history of the re

as soon ns Underwood shut off do
bate. Republicans fought this appli
cation of the cloture rule, but lost.

IS FITTED FOR WHITE HOUSE
Statesman, Scholar and Proved Prac
tical Executive, New Jersey States
man Would Be Ideal Occupant
of tho Presidential Chair.
BY LAWRENCE B. STRINGER.
Democratic Candidate For the U. 8.
Senate From Illinois Against
Lorlmer.
Before meeting Gov. Wilson, 1 was
somewhat predisposed In his favor,
from having read many of his produc
tions and having admired the great
comprehensive grasp of economic sit
uations which prevades all of bis pol
itical utterances and writings.
Still while predisposed in his fa
vor, until I had personally met and
conversed with him, 1 was not con
vinced of his availability as a can
didate for President.
Since meeting Gov. Wilson, how
ever, all doubt in that regard, in my
own mlud, has been removed. Gov.
Wilson is presidential timber of the
exact kind and quality required at the
present time. To begin with he is an
Intellectual giant, with a broad com
prehensive grasp of every public sit
uation. Throughout the east, he is
universally regarded as the brainiest
American living toelay. Even in priv
ate conversation, his Intellectuality
scintillates in every sentence he ut
ters. He has a logical and analytical
mind. Ills language Ib simple, easily
uiiuerstoud, yet clelinlle, Incisive and
convincing. I lo has been a stude nt of
political economy since his bovhuod,
has written varied books upon the
subject and is conceded to be tho
highest authority upon the-orles of
government in thej couutry today.
While our presidents have generally
been men of patriotic impulses, hon
est and conscientious, still tew of
them have been great Intellectually.
Thomas Jefferson was an exception to
this rulo. Wooo.-ow Wilson, if elec
ted president, by reason of his in
stincts, characteristics, training, fear
lessness, patriotism, faith In tbe peo
ple and extraordinary Intellectuality
would Indeed be a second Thomas
Jefferson.
Ideal Chief Executive of State.
As governor of New Jersey, he has
given that state a practical business
administration, so conceded by all.
He has shown himself to be peculiar
ly fitted for the executive office along
the most practical lines. In moetlDg
him, you are impressed with this tact
Tbe schoolmaster Is not In the least
In evidence. He Is plain, matter of
fact, and bis conversation is not pe
dantic or pedagogic, but direct, force
ful and earnest.
Above all he is a man of tbe people.
He was born with no silver spoon in
his mouth. He Is not a man ol means
or wealth. He Is easily approachable.
No dignity hedges him about. He re
sides In a very modest borne at Prince
ton. On knocking at his door, no ser
vant, liveried or otherwise, met us at
the portals. It was the governor him
self who opened tbe door for us, wel
comed us in, took our bats and wraps
and laid them aside, ushered us into
his library, made us feel at borne and
talked to us neighbors who had
dropped In for a casual call. There
are no frills nor iure-belows about
blm. He Is essentially Jeffersoulnn.
As governor of New Jersey, he lias
fought for the plain people and they
love lilin. In doing so, be has anta
gonized the interests. He knows It,
but doesn't care. He baa faith In tho
people and takes them Into his con
fidence. Sense of Duty Supreme.
I also found him to be a man of poj
ltive convictions with tbe courage of
tbe same. He Is fearless in his ex
pressions of opinions. If they do not
agreo with your opinion, he Is sorry,
but he does not trim bis views to con
form with yours. Ills sense of duty
Is supreme. He would not change his
views, unless convinced that be was
wrong, even though It made him pre
sident. He is not a trimmer. He Is
not a politician, bnt Is a statesman In
all tbat word implies. He abhors
machine politics and machine meth
ods. He does nothing behind closed
doors. Everything with him is In
the open and he has no political or
public seciets. What he says to you,
bo U willing the world should know.
He Is the soul of Integrity and honor
and he stands today as the one great
champion of progressive Ideas of gov
err lent in stata and natic :. If do
ted president, no machine leaders,
bosBos or fractions will control or In
fluence him. His sense of duty alono
will actuate him.
Altogether 1 was exceedingly well
Inpr.ssed with Gov. Wilson as a man,
as a statesman, as an executive and
as a possible, if not a probable, fu
ture president. He seems to combine
In one personality, great Intellectual
ity, simplicity, modesty, fearlessness
In the discharge of duty, sterling
character, honesty of motive, effective
ness, executive ability, energy, enth
! .sni, rugged honesty, practicality
and Jeffersonlan democracy. And

RAISES MUiE-FOOTED HOGS
Missourian Brings Carload to St. Jo
seph Stock Yards.
St. Joseph, Mo., Jan. 29. Ernest a
Graff of Rosedale, Mo., caused all
kinds of excitement at the St. Joseph
fetoek yards when he arrived with a
carload of mule footed hogs. He also
Paused considerable indignation.
I ast summer a Nebraska man exhib
ited two mule footed hogs in a tent
at the yards. He declared they were
the only hogs of their kind, and It Is
said the profits from his exhibit
amounted to nearly $1,000. The owner
claimed to have discovered the hogs
In Arkansas and his statement that
thev were curiosities was generally
credited.
Graff was not especially proud of
his carload of mule-footed hors. It
sitlel, however, they had one advantage
over other porkers, that the mule foot
ed ho-s are immune from cho'ora.
The disease made heavy ravages In
the herds of northwest Missouri and
northeast Kansas hog raisers last fall.
The' mule footed l o-s aro j'tst what
their n-'me Implies. The hooj is like
