The Republican papers are justifiably
jubilant over the creditable action of the
War Department in employing Colonel
George e. Waring, the expert sanitary
engineer. to locate the camps for our
troops in Cuba. The Times. especially, is
bound to applaud Secretary Alger for this,
since it has repeatedly urged it on his at
tention. But why was not advantage
taken of Colonel Warnings knowledge at
the beginning of the camp-location busi-
ness? The lives of our soldiers were not
less precious then than now. Isn't this
selection sort of admission that those to
whom Secretary Alger intrusted the mat
ter before made a murderous failure?

The loud and growing cry for the publ
cation of the official report of Colonel
Roosevelt-untouched by the emascuia'
tory blue pencils not unreasonable
There is cause to think 1t would throw q
two-thousand candle power light on the
very subject that the Alger Commission
is touching. Some of the most ardent oi
Roosevelts friends told US to wait until
his report was made public before trying
to measure the full effects of the defects
in army administration. We have waited
what seems to be more than a reasonable
time and there is neither report nor ex-
PLANTATION of it's delay.
