Whatever may be the merits Of the
Sampson-Schley controversy, it is be
coming apparentthat Sampson has done
everything possible TO prejudice the
public against his cause, while schley
has had the good judgment to keep
silent IL begins to look as though an
official inquiry w5uld be nee
cssary before the people will
consent to let the matter
drop The action Of Sampson in en-
dorsing tho violent language against a
brother officer. which was sent for his
approval by Historian Maclay, was in
very poor taste to say the least. and
has given the public renewed grounds
for the suspicion that his conduct has
not been marked by the most gener-
Gus impulses.
