PROMOTION In THE NAVY.
A Slow Process In Which Merit Finds
No Short Road to the Top.

A Slow Process in Which Merit Finds
No Short Road to the Top.
The advance of naval officer turou e b
the different grades is due solely to the
retirement or reslgnation of his conrad es
above him. Individual merit finds nc
short road to the top Ability, however
conspicuous, must remain in subordinate
positions so long as he supei ior ranks
are filled TO the numbers fixed by law.
AS consequence, many of the ablest
men leave the service in search of wider
fields of activity; others are content to re-
main and achieve hign regulations iD
special studies taken up con amore, and
with practically no hope of ma
terial reward in the shape of pro-
on sometimes for the purely SEN
timental reason that they are un-
willing to yield up the semi-publc place
and accompanying social advantages
SO long worked for in exchange
for CIVILIAN nonentity. or for the
more material consideration that the
snug harbor and certain pay of the navy
seem safer ana surer than to EN- ark in
the struggle for existence in the great
outer world, especially when one has

of proverhially large family. But ali

self aud does routine, as surely as to him
whose brilliant achievements command
general admiration. The wonder is that
SO high an average standard OF ability,
and such implicit devotion to duty
as exists, can obtain uuder such condi-
tions. But the best WORK of any mau, or
any body of men. cannot be had without
strong incentive on the one hand, aud
ofa nm ho of har Nat rol

lies in the apparent premise that this in

Nevertheless, the personnel of the navy is
not excepted from the general scheme OF

PESHALL'S EFFR0NTERY.
He Will Make the Hallinger Case
a Republican Campaign Issue.

District Attorney Winfield will 60 to
Washington Monday and will ask the
Supreme Court to advance the case Of
Edward w. Hallinger. the negro murder
er, upon the calender. the Supreme
Court will probably grant the motion and
fix an early date for argument. The case
will not be argued. however, for Charles
j. Peshall will ask to have it dismissed.
Mr.. Peshall told me that he would pur-
sue this course to enable him to make am
other appeal and allege other legal objec-
tlons to the enforcing of the sentence of
death against Halinger. The principal
objection he wants to make is that Jud ge
Werts was not legally appointed a Justice
OF the Supreme Court and. therefore, he
had no authority to sentence Hallinger,
THAT OLD CHESTNUT
Mr.. Peshall quotes Article w, Section
5, OF the Constitution, which provides:-
No member of the Senate or General Assembly
shall during the time for which ne was, elected
be nominated or appointed by the Governor, or
by the Legislature in joint meeting, to any civil
of1ice under the authority of this State which
shall have teen created, or the emoluments
whereof shall have been increased during such
time.
MEAN QUIBBLE.
You know said Mr.. Peshall. Judge
Werts when Senator voted to increase the
pay of Judges of the Supreme Court. To
make prstence of following the Consti-
tuition, the Senate. after Judge Werts
had been selected as the successor of
Judge Knapp, repealed the law increasing
the income of Supreme Court Judges.
Then the name of Senator Werts was sent
to the Senate and his nomination for JUS
tice OF the Supreme Court was confirmed.
Immediately after this was done the SEN
ate repealed the repeater of this act.
increasing the income of Judges of the
Supreme Court and the original law
which Judge Werts voted for remained
in effect This act I claim is in direct
violation of the Constitution.
"Hallinger will be resentenced after /
discontinue the proceedings in the United
States Supreme Court. and then ] will
have MIN in the courts again under q
writ of habeas corpus. Hallinger will
never hang"
