DELAYS IN EOUIPPING OUR ARMY.

Every day of their lives our rail-
road managers and heads of other
enterprises requiring large organiza
tion have to deal with executive
problems that would not make it
seem particularly difficult task to
provide shoes for, say, twenty thou
sand men-when in any event the
American shoe factories are regularly
supplying shoes for nation of
seventv-tive millions. Nevertheless,
these little problems-the fitting out
of the army with uniforms, ammuni-
ton, and tents, or with the picks,
in throwing up intrenchments on the
Cuban coast, with ordinary food from
day to day, with medicines, and SO
on to the end of the chapter-have
been at the outset quite too unfamil-
lar for our army organization to
manage well. 1t was disappointing,
but it ought not to have been sur
prising. Our excellent regimental
officers, who appear SO we'll in their
full-dress uniforms and who would
fight with a dash and courage that
would make us proud of them, could
not be expected to succeed at once if
they were put without warning into
the management of department
store. In short, the sudden organiza-
tion and equipment of about three
hundred thousand men has involved
what are practical business problems,
for which our army does not as vet
possess the men of sufficiently
trained capacity. All this will come
of itself in due time. No individuals
are to he blamed for it, because it is
the inevitable consequence of the
policy that we deliberately adopted
after the Civil War, which was to do
| without an army altogether, except
as we needed it for detached garrison
and guard service, chiefly in the In
dian country. For ten or even twenty
years after the Civil War we could
easily have returned to war foot
| ing; but forty years will soon have
passed since the outbreak of that
| struggle, and the men who really or
ganized and managed it are most OF
| them dead. Our present war cannot
gain much from the experience OF
1916. 1t has to be organized and
! conducted on new lines. 1t must he
infused with the same sort of execu-
tive energy and talent that have
made America so famous in late
years for the superb organization OF
great engineering works and in.
dustrial enterprises. Within siN
months from the declaration of wal
we shall be in possession of a superb
army. Let us be willing to give the
War Department little time. The
first mbarrassments are already
past and the worst defects have beer

THE $3.50 SCHOLARSHIP
Two years ago. after the manner of the
United States Military and Naval Acade-
mics Maj. Bingham offered the young
men of North Carolina eleven QD
scholarships, $3.50 each, to be awarded
by the Congressman for their own Dis
tricts and by the two Senator's for the
State at large to the young men who
should win them by standing highest in
competitive examination on Eng
ligh, Arithmetic and the Geography and
History of the United States.
There were considerably more than
100 competitors, and all the scholar
ships have been occupied by young men
who averaged high in ability and earnest
ness.
Nearly all the incumbents having com
pleted the course with success, the
scholarships are vacant except for the
9Th District and open for competition
again.
An examinatiu Jsill be held in each
District about the middle of August on
such exact DAY, and at such PLACE and
before such COMMITTEE as each Congress
man for his District and each United
States Senator for the State at large
may select, and applicants are referred o
their own Congressman or to theSenat OF

WHO WILL PAY FOR THE WAR?

An interesting question in con-
nection with this law is how far the
new taxes will be really borne by
those who pay them in the first
instance and to what extent they
will be shifted to the great body Of
consumers. The act facilitates the
shifting Of the tobacco tax by pro-
viding for packages containing one
sixth less than those formerly used.
| and doubtless the customary size of
a glass of beer will also be reduced
in many cases. On the other hand.
the tax on patent medicines and
other proprietary articles is almost
too small to increase retail prices,
except by checking in some degree
the tendency to sell these goods at
cut rates. The act specifically pro-
vides that the tax on sleeping-car and
parlor-car tickets is to be paid by
the companies issuing them, and
there seems to be little chance that
either this or the tax on bills Of
lading will be shifted; but the tax on
passage tickets to fareign ports will
doubtless be found to increase the
expense of trips to Europe this sum-
mer OF more Importance is the
effect on prices Of sugar and oil, Of
the tax on gross receipts of re-
tineries. Professor Seligman, in his
work on The Shifting and Incl
dence of Taxation," says, 1T is
plain that tax on monopoly gross
receipts can never be shifted" be-
cause prices of monopoly articles are
already such as to produce the
maximum profits. From this reason
ing it follows that SO far as the
Sugar Trust and the Standard Oil
Company are monopolists and not
subject to the laws Of competitive
trade they will have to bear the
burden of the taxes levied upon
| them. But it is never safe to pre-
diet the precise result of the tax or
of any other one of the many ele-
ments which determine prices. 1t
is possible, for example, that the
prices of sugar and oil might be in
creased temporarily in the present
emergency for the purpose Of dis
| couraging a resort to the gross re-
ceipts tax as permanent source OF
revenue. From '.Our New War
Taxes" by Max West, in the Anaeri-
can Monthly Rericw Of Reriews for

MILITARY APPOINTMENTS.

The Rockin CHAM Republic (Republi-
cam edited by broad minded man
and himself veteran Of the last
war. j. in accord with the GOLD
LEAF in holding that military ap-
ppintments to important and re-
sponsiblc positions should not be
made purely upon party lines or as Il
reward for political services.
1t is not every party leader who is
qualified to make a military COM
mander by any means. We have no
objection to party men receiving
first recognition at the hands of their
administration that is but natural:
nay. more, it is ONLY right and proper
we think, but they should have some
claim to recognition beyond the fact
that the particular political organiza-
tion to which they belong owes
them something.
Many misft appointments have
been made since the present war
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS which
ought not to have been made-and
which can have but one effect and
that is to cool the ardor of the volun-
teer soldiers and impair the efficiency
Of the service. This of course does
notapply to positions OF minor i'm
portance where no special aptitud e
or previous training and experience
are required; but it does apply with
| peculiar force to the highest military
appointment with which North
Carolina is to be credited and which
the President now has under con-
sideration, that of Brigadier Gen
eral. And "a the RepuJlic well says:
We think if President Mckinley
| understands that &. A. Cook has no
military experience or knowledge Of
war, he will decline to appoint him
Brigadier General as he did Cows.
| Atkinson and Taylor. Political APP
| pointments in the army should be
avoided; that is, a Republican has no
right to expect to receive an appoint
ment in the army purely from a
politician viewpoint. All things
equal it is entirely natural that a
party leader if qualified should re-
ceive the appointment, but not for
party purposes.
Again we quote from the same
paper as follows:
Brigadicr Charley sounds all right,
but how much does Brigadier Charley
know about WARP Well bet dollars
to peanuts that Charlie Cook can't
drill a corporal's guard. Gen Cowles
ought to have the position. He
is at the head of military affairs in
this State, is competent and as good
Republican as Cook, if it was desir-
able to give the place to a Republi-
can, which is entirely right all things

TOWN IMPROVEMENT SOCIETIES

To accomplish good results it is
necessary first to create a sentiment
in their favor Mr.. f. St John, Of
the SeabOard Air Line, has inaugurat-
ed a bcneficent movement in the pro-
noting along the line Of that road, Of
town improvements societies.
In many towns about the great
lakes, in Canada and in other parts
of the United States, these societies
exist and have tlourished. 1t is
almost incredible the extent of in
tluencc that the members can Jointly
have in bringing about betterment
of any towns condition. The feeling
of having the cooperation of others
| as certainty gives strength to each
member to press at all times an in
tluence for better streets, greater
neatness and other betterments.
The interest that such societies can
create for making surroundings
pleasanter will soon 90 beyond the
streets and public places. Houses
| will be given a coat of paint that
would otherwise remain unimproved.
Such societies can and do bring about
an entire change in the appearance
of 4 town and the change is always
for the better.
Everybody knows that where the
streets are well kept, the houses
painted. the fences repaired and the
surroundings are kept cheerful and
pleasant. progress and prosperity
are also there. Prosperity loves a
neat and cheerful home.
The admission of ladies into these
societies is proper and right. They
know better than men the extent to
which care and attention, without
additional money, can improve ap-
pearance and conditions.
a year or two ago the Seaboard
had flower gardens put at the stations
along its line. Some of these gardens
| looked very attractive: others looked
ragged and discouraging.

grow all along the line and it is evi.
dent that the influence for neatness

these beginnings.
