TOO MUCH FAvoRITISM

The recent appointment of large
ators and of men who hold or have held
high public positions to staff offices is
subject on which there is no inconsider
able comment, and it properly suggests
serious reflection. In aristocratic count
tries 1t is a custom to give such places
to sprigs of nobility as matter of cour-
tesy to the privileged class.
All staff officers have important duties
to perform; those in the commissary, ord
nance, quartermaster and pay depart
ment are under heavy pecuniary respon-
sibilities. Adjutant generals must have
good business talents, as they write out
orders and keep records. Medical, signal
and engineer officers must have technical
knowledge. Inspectors and aides de
camp should be men Of energy, courage
and accurate in the understanding and
In the delivery of orders. All staff officers
who accompany general in the field are
eyes and ears for him. With good staff
a poor general may do very well, and
with an inefficient staff a good general
may do very badly. Therefore, appoint
ment of staff officers should be based upon
formance Of the duties to which they are
assigned.
Paternity has nothing to do with con-
ferring adaptability to such work. Sons
Of ha In LON
places are no more apt to be fitted for
military service than sons Of other men:
in fact our entire history disproves the
theory of inheritable aristocracy so far
as talent, virtue and success in
achievements go. Nearly all the con-
spicuous generals this country has ever
produced descended from fathers who did
not display martial spirit or talent. In
all the world it has been rare that the
son has kept up the reputation Of his
father who was a great military chief
tain. The best martial talent is devel-
oped among the yeomanry; their environ
ments contribute to this. The yeomanry
in the ranks fight the battles of all coun-
tries, and it is in this country an ele-
ment that should receive high recognition
