lTNSTON, THE DAK 1 Mi
Saythe news ruport from Wash
ington: "Major General Fuustou,
umiLdiug the Unite J States
troops on the border, in an over
.1 -;ht dispatch urgently reoommend
td that ho be authorized to send
An., -a troops over border to
clean out tho bandit gang."
Fuuston's the man for the job.
He's :io West Pointer, but he's a
bo. <i Idier. lie lias the audacity to
lead where danger lies. Sixteen
years . so he achieved national
13ii- when as colonel of the Kan
.is Ri'Ugh Kiders iu the campaign
'o suldue the Filipinos he crossed
'he Kio Grande On a small bamboo
raft .n the face of very heavy fire
and established a rope ferry by
which his entire command \vas able
to c."o>s and win a battle. For this
he was made brigadier general of
volunteers.
One year later he added to his
-:tl capturing, single-handed,
t e . urgent chief Aguinaldo. Ry
this daring and brilliant act he
u> > knockout blow to serious
i.at.,L rei-istance. He was promot
ed to brigadier general of the Un
ited States army. Later on he was
ij command at the Presidio, and
ha :: .d ,hc San Francisco fire sit
u-tii n with masterly judgment and
direction.
Frederick Fuustou has the quali
ties of leadership. He has proved
his Ho i' to deal effectively with
u crk-ccmpli xioned peopla whom
•
.1. i. h aild." All Americans will
:U |i; ovo his assingnment to personal
command oi the expedition in Mexi
co, for l»e is a una oi rare good
jiid.^iU' >;t ;.s uell as military skill,
i-e* i.■: hope that his crossing au
ot!. ,:io Grande ia another coun
ti. \ II lead to the same peaceful
r< -uits : s followed his notable work
in th Philippines where he won
his spurs.
ltt'NlXESS IX THE EAST
,\"ever in the history of the coun
try have its money-making meu
been gathering 'a money so fast
and piling it up so ranidly as in the
past year. The euornious outflow cfi
mon- y from Europe is taken at its
flood along the Atlantic seaboard
I and is felt in lessening flow as
I far west as Chicago and Detroit.
Tliis, of coarse, refers xeclusivaly
! to mutations and not foodstuffs,
tor every i>art of the country feels
I in varying degrees the benefit of
i big crops, big demand and big
prices which, roughly speaking, for
the past ten years have been rais
I nig the farmers Into a condition, of
j afflJtnce.
The muuitioa millionaire is a new
j figure lu American life. With more
| polish and more experience in
spending money and getting what
are called the good things of life,
he is otherwise a modern variation
of the mining millionaire of the
earlier adys. He 5s literally lavish
ing tio money in garish display iu
New York. The btist is not good
enough for him. He waiita the
earth and the fullness thereof and
is willing to pay the price, what
ever it is. New York is running at
high pressure. The hotels are
crowded to the doors. The building
and opening of new hotels is wel
comed by the hotel men because it
relieves the pressure from their
own establishments. The tc-wn
is filled with superb new hotels and
theie are more building. During the
wiuter season day by day there
are perhaps 200,000 strajigers every
day in New York. Individually they1
maj; LCt last long, t/U* while they
rem:-Ii< they must accommodte
themselves to the pace. Many
amusement features are maintained
for their especial benefit. In all
taey are delicately ai» * scientifical
ly plucked and most of them seem
to like it.
It is not true that all lines of
mercantile businesc are booming:
things have not yet quite reached
'hat stage, though it is true that
business generally is prospering and
i-i seme lines is doing exceedingly
well. About life and particularly
about business in New York there
is a notable feverishness that, is
lacking in Philadelphia and the
New England cities where the mon
ey-makers are coining money with
less ostentation but no less perse
verance. This money is likely to
