tor in Montana politics. So far as this
newspaper knows. The hitch involv-
ing Mr.. Hartman had its source i'm the
fact that. for whatever reason. he
changed his mind. He had often been
heard in denunciation of matters which
are of cardinal account with republicans
and which found cordial approval in
the silver-republican platform on which
he stands: he had declared publicly and
frequently that II wasn't his purpose
to accept a nomination from the silver
republican convention.
In fact, why not tell il all here and
now? The whole story is that. at con-
vention time. Mr.. Hartman's best
friends-they were acknowledgement

lican convention. to walk out. He said

overestimated. We may be mistaken,
but. in all frankness and for good and
all. the Standard believes that there's
the rub.
However, as we have said, nothing
now about motives. The question
which Mr.. Hartman raised in his letter
to Mr.. Campbell involved a matter of

yer forces in Montana woul be better
policy than the investiture Of leader

weeks iasco, the Standard, we con-
fess, does not share that opinion. Say
ing not a word in d~erogation of Mr..

newspaper. nevertheless. has reached
conclusions respecting his tactics which
prompt it to prefer Campbell for APP

But the letter of the executive COM

Plans for Reorganization.

~R. NICHOLAS Semi, late chief
To- surgeon of volunteers, whose
criticisms of the war Depart
ment Of late have been as frequent as
they have been singing. is out with a
few more remarks-this time on the
folly of Secretary Ayers tour of in
spection. Secretary Ayers visit TO
the southern military camps" says the
doctor, will be productive of small
beneficial results. II the secretary Of
war wishes to investigate unhealthful
conditions at the various army mobil-
ization points he should send some one
who knows something about such mat
tiers. His place is rather at his desk in
Washington. An investigation, casual
and by an official head, has not gained
any weighty results. The day of such
on dress parade, as it were, and the
faults are not so ~palpable. The pres
ent trip to the South is not so much
for investigation, however. 1t is in
TENDED to create some excitement, pro-
duce some cheering, and has behind il,
possibly. a political motive"
The investigating committee will
doubtless summon DIR. Sem before 1t.
not only to hear his complaints, but
to learn what suggestions he has to
offer for the reorganization of the
medical branch of the army service.
Sem is a man of pronounced ideas.
In his opinion the & should be
given higher rank and larger author
ity. Rank Sem says, lis everything
i'm the army. II inspires better work
and creates more competition for posi-
ton. This impetus should be loosed i'm
the medical service. Let the chief sur
geon be admitted to a major generals
ram and pay. Let b~rigadier generals
be appointed to every division of duty
involved in the department. To fight
the Spaniards at Santiago the army
had major generals in abundance; there
were brigadier generals by the dozen,
n the colonies counted up near the
hundreds. To fight the fevers and the
a of he southern climate there
was a medical corps, HEADED by a few
officers. and those well down the list,
so far as title caliber was concerned,
The medical department now has but
FIVE officers with the rank Of colonel
and seven lieutenant colonels."
According TO DIR. Sem the most
fragrant fault had its seat i'm the de-
pendence of the medical department
upon the quartermaster and his men
For transportation of all medical and
hospital supplies the quartermaster's
hand vas needed. Medical officers had
no authority to forward these stuffs
There was a lack of harmony at al
times. Delay vas oCcasioned. Ambu
lances which had been sent to Tampa
in great number were not unloaded anC
sent to the front. The great service:
rendered by the Red Cross society be.
fore Santiago, by this organization and
other relief bodies at Montsuk Poini
and other military camps. have beer
due to the fact that they controlled
their own transportation facilities
This is proof of the claim hat tn
medical bureau must be its own quar-
termaster.
