We took the Colorado Midland over the short line to Victor and Cripple Creek.

When it was recently called to the attention of Col. C. C. Ballou, commandant of the officers' training school for colored men at Ft. Des Moines, Ia., that there was a tendency on the part of acquaintances to criticize candidates who are being discharged and returned home, he said: "Many persons seem to feel that failure to complete the prescribed course it an officers' training camp carries with it a certain stigma approximating disgrace. "This is, in general, not true, and is only true in cases of men sent home by reason of misdoubt. "There is a more dangerous and erroneous belief than that indulged in by many of our people, to the effect that any and every man can become a good military officer. This idea is almost equivalent to the notion that putting a uniform on a map and a rifle in his hands makes him a soldier. Both ideas are an incorrect and fundamentally absurd as would be the belief that putting a scalpel in a man's hands connects him into a surgeon, or that putting on the cap of a naval officer qualifies a man to navigate and fight a battleship. "Not the least useful result of our great training camps will be the correction of these absurd notions. "I once ministered into service as an officer of high rank a man who frankly said: 'I don't know anything about military matters. I don't know how to get my regiment going, and if I once got it going I wouldn't know how to stop it again.' Yet twelve hundred lives and untold national interests were made dependent upon this utterly unqualified man for purely political reasons. "The mass of the people have had very little idea of the danger and disaster that lie behind such appointments, but there are, nevertheless, many wives, mothers and sisters who are beginning to realize that they don't want husbands, fathers, sons and brothers ordered into battle by men who don't know how to give them the least show for their lives. And these training camps are going to vastly increase the appreciation of the simple proposition that a soldier needs to know his business, just as does the surgeon, the lawyer, the sailor, the electrician and every other man of profession or trade. "Furthermore, they will spread a conception of the fact that army officers, on whose competence depends the lives of men and the fate of nations, require for the proper discharge of their grave duties training and ability of a higher order and of a more varied character than do men of any other profession in life. "It is, therefore, only reasonable to expect that large numbers of those who enter officers' training campus will find after a few weeks trial that they were not de-diminished by nature for the duties and responsibilities of military command. This fact should involve no reproach. It is no more disgrateful to be a miltat at an officer's training camp than to be a similar miltat in training for the church choir. Real military leaders are as rare as good musicians, and the unit must be eliminated as ruthlessly as are the discordant aspirants for a place in the orchestra, and this elimination is not evidence that the rejected ones are not good men, brave men, or patriotic men." WHITE CLOUD, KAN. The Men's rally given Sunday, September 9, was a great success. The program was well carried out. The men raised $19.20. It was decided that if the men won the ladies would have to entertain the men, and if the ladies won the men would have to entertain the women. The ladies raised only $16.60, so they will entertain the men Saturday night, September 29. Mrs. Ellen Botts, who has been sick for nearly a year, departed this life Tuesday, September 4. She was buried Thursday, the 6th.
