A study I'm SYNONYMS,

The Honorable Grenville NJ. Dodge, 1t
seems, objects to the descriptive title:
.Alger Relief Commission" which The
Times originally applied to the interest
ing body over which he SO skillfully pre-
sides, and which has been generally
adopted by the newspapers of the coun-
try. He thinks his committee should
be called: THE Commission Appointed
by the President to Investigate the Con-
dition of the War Department in the
War with Spain"
We are inclined to dispute General
Dodge's Judgment in the matter. His
title is six times as long as ours and is
not one thousandth part as explana-
tory. "Alger Relief Commission" means
just what it says. The long string of
words preferred by General Dodge
means nothing at ALL 1t is confusion
of sounds looking to the confusion of
ideas, which is always necessary in a
jury box when some distinguished
criminal is to be allowed to escape.
However, We will compromise with
our esteemed critic. Our title is too
precise. perhaps, and his is certainly
too long. Suppose we abandon both
and call it the Dodge Commission? The
country will understand.

Colonel Gibson and Major Seaman.

There can be no doubt as to the ac-
curacy of the statements of Colonel
Gibson and Major Seaman concerning
the maladministration of army affairs
in the Santiago campaign and after.
Essentially the same report was made
by number of reporters for different
newspapers. Neither can there be any
doubt as to the importance of the brief
interviews. Colonel Gibson is a field
agent of the Red Cross Society and the
special agent of the President to inquire
into the reports of abuses. He was ap-
pointed and went to Cuba before the
scandals reached the greatest publicity
and before Secretary Alger requested
an investigation. At that time the
President wanted to know the exact
truth about the matter. Major Seaman
is the surgeon of the First Volunteer
Engineers-a medical man of high
standing, respected and trusted by the
members of his profession. Having
charge of the sick. he was in a position
to learn facts that could only be known
to others from the appearance of the
wrecked soldiers. These two officers
happened to work together Colonel
Gibson called on the doctor for infor-
nation, presumably telling him what he
had discovered and thereby enlisting
his sympathy and aid.
On reaching New York these two Off
GERS learned from the newspaper men
that Commission had been organized
to investigate the scandals They We're
delighted with what they regarded as
an opportunity to tell their discoveries
to the public through an official body.
In the innocence of his heart, Colonel
Gibson thought the Commission would
welcome his report in the interest of
justice. Official propriety forbade the
giving of the facts TO the press before
they were submitted to the President
and the investigating board, but he did
say that the abuses were such that
their revelation would turn the coun-
try upside down. and that but for the
Relief Committee "our soldiers would
have starved"
Major Seaman, having no official re-
port to make, went further. He said
that his discoveries were in line with
those of Colonel Gibson and were
shocking; that the men appointed by
the Secretary of War to provide for the
wants of our soldiers were fncompe-
tents and were neglectful to the last
degree; that ninety per cent of the
soldiers who died were killed by the
Algerine fever" Told that an attempt
was made to whitewash the whole busi-
ness, he exclaimed: God help any
man who tries whitewash if he falls
into the hands of those who have seen
the effects of incompetency." There is
no doubt that both men are deeply

Along with a degree of humiliation,
Senator Platt must have a lot of quiet
fun in observing how seriously Colonel
Roosevelt takes himself as a superla-
lively great man. The senator has
keen sense of humor which circum-
stances compel him to conceal. On the
few occasions when he has "let himself
out in replying to censures, he has
shown rare penetration respecting the
weaknesses and vanities that make
public man ridiculous. The particular
form of vanity displayed by his candi-
date appeals most stirringly to the SEN
ator's humorous sensibilities, and there
must be times when he would almost
sacrifice his political power to be able
to riot in laughter. The originally alb
normal egoism of Colonel Roosevelt
has been fostered by Senator Platt and
other politicians until 1t is in state of
almost unparalleled hypertrophy. When
he opened the campaign with the re-
markable assertion that his defeat
would mean a reputation of the war

ALLEGED BREACH OF CONTRACT

deliver to that firm the entire product of

Instead of receiving them in that
spirit, the Alger Relief Commission pre-
sumes mendacity and malice and vir-
tually puts them on trial. And not

silence them, if possible compel them
to retract under threats of prosecution

in mind that Colonel Gibson is an officer
appointed to investigate and report. 1t
Is the invariable custom to receive the
report of such an official as truthful
and accurate, and to act according to
its character unless subsequent infor-
nation shall discredit it. For the first
time since the Government was estab-
lished he is made to understand that
the report of his discoveries is in fact
slanderous statement. He will not be
allowed to substantiate them. If the
Commission follows the same path it
has trod SO far. it will never allow the
report to be published but will thumb
screw the officer and force a denial of
the published remarks.

1t has the power to silence him as long

he will talk. That time will be far

to court-martial him, when he would be

follow this matter with the keenest in

some of the Commissioners will revolt
