The wonder at Washington among
those who dare to- speak out. Is how
Adjt. Gen. Corbin, who has been the
arrogant commander Of the army for
three years, can spare himself long
enough for visit to the Philippines. and
allow the supposed head of the army,
Gen. Miles, to take command during his
absence. It is now stated that the dis
missal Of Russell B. Harrison from the
army. which gave his father so much
concern, was Que to, the officiousness of
Adjt. Gen. Corbin, who thought he was
playing good politics in furnishing the
son for the Urea SON. of the father in
being an anti-imperialist
Maurice Barrymore, the well known
actor, is now an inmate of the insane
ward of Bellevue hospital in New York.
John Barrymore told the doctors that
his fathers real name is Blye and that

1t is somewhat of coincidence that
the death of Sir John Strainer, the dis
tfnguished English composer and organ
list, should have occurred at the begin
nj "a h01x yaO1y
week that his best known musical COM

Gov. Odel, who is posing as a PROS
pective candidate for the presidency is
being sharply criticised for pardoning e.
H. Morrison, former Republican treas
urer of Rensselaer, county, who is in
prison for embezzlement Of public funds.
The Communication is based on a legal
teehnicality There was no question

isf1ed with the legality of Morrison's
conviction, it would seem that the gov
ernor should not have interfered.
It Is significant fact that four Of the
greatest men Of the Republican party
Harrison, Edmunds, Reed and Hoar-are

pointed political hacks" In the eyes of
such time-servers as the Pioneer Press,
however, they are TRAITORS"
