1t is said that the stool-pigeon
who occupies the chair of the Presi-
dent of the United Slater is s'de-
termined to place the responsibility"
OF the gross mismanagement of the
war "where it belongs" No inves-
tigation is needed. The President
of the United States, who is Com
mander-in Chief of the Army of the
United States, is responsible. He
has appointed incompetent men to
office, and knowing their unfitness,
has kept them in the positions they
disgrace, simply because they fur
nlshed money to help secure his
election. William Mckinley, the
cantlng, sycophantic tool Of plutoc-
racy, is the head and front of the
offending.
