This order severely censures General
Smith for talking so intrnpcraeiy to
Major Waller in regard to the pro.
posed campaign in Samar. Both the
president and Secretary Root agree
that General Smith was guilty of indis

ment from the army on the ground
that he is over siXty-two years of age.
The president in closing his com
mcnt says:
ut is impossible to tell exactly how
much influence language like that used
by General Smith may have had in pre-
pairing the minds of those under him
for the commission of deeds which we
regret. Loose and violent talk by an
officer of high rank is always likely to
excite to wrongdoiny those among his
sub0rdinatcs whose wills are weak and
whose passions are strong.
General Smith has behind him a,
long career distinguished for gallantry
and on the Whole for good conduct.
Taken in the full, his work has been
such rs to reflect credit upon the Amer
lean army and therefore upon the ma
tion and it is deeply to be regretted
that he should have acted 50 in this in
stance as to interfere with his further
usefulness in the army. | hereby di- |

Scarcity of Hired Help.

The continued scarcity of hired
help is not an unmixed evil. The in
evitable result must be machinery in

ciplcs will be applied; greater atten-
ton given to that which is of most
worth, useless. and Improbable work
dispensed with. When stern neces-
sity compels one to rest from la

deal of unprotitable and awkward

many hours have been given to toll
