of Tuberculosis It Is estimated that on an average about fifteen per cent of the prison population of the Is with afflicted tuberculosis country On this basis out of the 80000 prisoners housed In the penal institutions of the United States at any given time not less than 12000 are infected with this disease If the Philippine islands and other Insular possessions were the taken into consideration number would be much larger Some of the prisons of Pennsylvania Kansas and Ohio show such shocking conditions with reference to tuberculosis that many wardens admit that these are death traps places of detention Similar conditions could be found In almost every state and In the majority of cases the only sure remedy is the destruction of the old buildings and the erection of new ones have One Side Enough Senator William Alden Smith tells of an Irish Justice of the peace out In a trial the evidence In Michigan was all In and the plantiff’s attorney had made a long and very eloquent argument when the lawyer acting for the defense arose “What are yeu doing?” asked the justice as the lawyer began “Going to present our side of the case’ “I don’t want to hear both sides It has tlndency to confuse gued coort” — Washingtonian ar- the Included Her at the “Why did she get angry stranger In town?” “She asked him if he had seen her he answered he and that daughter had seen all the sights of

general staff of the United States army the highest military position which the service affords Nearly 12 years ago when Leonard Wood was acting aa governor of Santiago I wrote in the Outlook about what he had already achieved and what he could be trusted to achieve During the intervening 12 years he has played a very conspicuous part among the men who have rendered signal service to the country by the way In which they have enabled It to grapple with Inthe duties and responsibilities curred by the Spanish war What has been accomplished In the Philippines In Cuba In Porto Rico In Panama and In San Domingo during these 12 years represents a sum of achievement of which this nation has a right to be extremely proud In each localiIn ty the problem has been different each locality It has been solved with Of course there have signal success been mistakes and shortcomings but on the whole It would be difficult to find anywhere a finer record of successful accomplishment This record Is primarily due to the admirable quality of the men put at the head of affairs In the different places Messrs Taft Luke Wright Smith and Forbes Messrs Hunt Wlnthrop Post and Colton Governor Magoon Colonel Goeth-al—to these and their colleagues and subordinates the country owes a heavy debt of obligation Most of those I have mentioned are civilians Colonel Goetbals under whom the gigantic work of the Panama canal Is being accomplished with literally astounding rapidity and success Is a representative of the army The share of the army In the honor roll is very large The importance of work like that of General Bell In the Philippines of General Barry in Cuba can hardly be overestimated but as a whole of all the work of the army officers the greatest In amount and the greatest In variety of achievement must be credited to General Wood And moreover he has at times combined with singular success the functions of civil administrator and military commandant The part played by the United States In Cuba has been one of the most honorable ever played by any nation in dealing with a weaker power one of the most and to satisfactory In all respects General Wood more than to any other one man la due the credit of starting this work and conducting It to a successful conclusion during the earliest and most difficult years Like almost all of the men mentioned as well as their colleagues General Wood of course Incurred the violent hatred of schemers many dishonest unand scrupulous adventurers and of a few IS “The Memory Lingers” CO Mich 114 In The Outlook by special Roosevelt Is Contributing A11 Right Reserved more or less persons who were misled by these schemers and adventurers but It is astounding to any one acquainted with the facta to realize not merely what he accomplished but how he succeeded in gaining the good will of the enormous majority of the men whose good will could be won only In honorable fashion Spaniards and Cubans Christian eccleFilipinos and Moros Catholic siastics and Protestant missionaries— in each case the great majority of those whose opinion was best worth having — grew to regard General Wood as their special champion and ablest friend as the man who more than any others understood and I sympathized with ' their peculiar needs and was anxious and able to render them the help they most needed His administration was as signally successful In the Moro country as in Cuba In each case alike It brought In Its train peace an Increase In material and a rigid adherence to prosperity honesty as the only policy tolerated for His opportunity among officials military service has not been great either in the Philippines or while he was the governor of Cuba Still on several occasions he was obliged to carry on operations againBt hostile tribes of Moros and In each case he did hts work with Bkill energy and and once It was done be efficiency showed as much humanity In dealing with the vanquished as he had shown In our them capacity to vanquish country there are some kinds of success which receive an altogether disfinancial reward but in proportionate no other country Is the financial reward so small for the kind of service done hy Leonard Wood and by the other men whose names I have given above General Wood is an army officer with nothing but an army officer’s pay and we accept it as a matter of course that he Bhould have received no pecuniary for reward practically those services which he rendered In positions not such as an army officer There is not anusually occupies other big country In the world where he would not have received a substantial reward such as here no one even thinks of his receiving Yet aftall the for which er he most reward cares Is the opportunity to render service and this opportunity has been He now given him once and again stands as of the American army the army In which he was serving In a subordinate position as His rise has surgeon 13 years ago been astonishing and it has been due purely to his own striking qualification and striking achievements Again and again he has rendered great service to the American and he people will continue to render such service In
