we saw him referred to by that title in
some Texas paper recently. We We're
promoted to the rank of "Maiah" some
weeks ago, and how Simpson, who was
an obscure Mister Mt that time, could
have secured Colonelcy in advance of
us, and before he had served either as
"Captin" or "Maiah," is what we don't
understand. 1t is in defiance of the
army regulations, in disregard of our
long and distinguished services, and de
velops the existence of system of ia
voritism at headquarters, grossly unjust
to veteran officers, and which is sure to
be hurtful to the service in tho long
run. We insist that young Simpsons
commission DO taken from him, and
that the old system of promotion in
