WATTERSON FIERCE
Louisville Editor Delivers Himself
of More Rhetorical Wildness.
ROC S WELT MILITARY DICTATOR
No Politics in This, of Course; Says
Henry in Effect, but Miles II
Shamefully Abused.

Louisville, KY, March 24.-Henry Wat
terson says in an interview that the ad-
ministration's new army bill should be en-
titled can act to make the president OF
the United States military dictator.
His statement follows: So
Little need be added to what has been said
already as to the case of General Miles. From
the day when he refused to become an order
ly for the administration he was marked for
punishment. While Mr.. Mckinley lived, this
was limited to condemnation chiefly, but with
the advent Of Mr. Roosevelt, more drastic
course of proceeding adopted. The pres
ident fairly leaped at the first chance to as
sail and humliate General Miles that Offered
itself, for he has, matter OF fact, no
authority, either under the constitution of
the United States or the articles of war, to
reprimand the general except for single
offense. The only act for which, under the
articles Of war, the president may reprimand
an officer is indecent behavior at divine wor-
ship. General Miles has not yet been even
accused of that. Y
To forge a pretext for the president, the
law ruling in such cases was shamefully gar
bled. The head and front of Miles offending
was that he agreed with Dewey Yet Funs-
ton is permitted, and even encouraged, to
roam at large, abusing his betters without
stint or limit. Retirement is the club which
is held by a chance occupant of the White
eral of the army, who was fighting the bat
ties Of his country when our puissant presi-
dental broncho-buster was fighting the bat"
ties Of the nursery. Just now this club is
| particularly in evidence, the occasion being
General Miles opposition to the administra-
tons new army bill. Z. :
The president has so long and so success
fully played the part of the cowboy in poll
tics that he really aspires to become the 'nan
on horseback Differences of opinion are
not to be endured. The intolerance which
marked the Dreyfus episode in France is. to
| be the real measure of the American war de-
! partment. An astute and very able New York
attorney and politician is to find the law for
| it. Because he answered the call OF a COM
mittee of congress, Miles is to be retired.
| Moral: Let the officer Of the army beware.
Result: Arbitrary power, eliminating in alb
| solutism Thus slowly but surely is the adj
ministration Merchandising the government
Of the United States. ~ ~.

MONEY WHERE MOST NEEDED

Wichita. Kan, March 24.-One of the
most remarkable Illustrations of the re-
1entlessness with which the United States
government pursues the man who violates
its laws and fees from justice is the long
chase of George Irons, alleged to be the
leader Of gang of western postoffice rob-
bers, by Inspector u. w. Peters of the
Karsas City division of postotce iDspec-
tors. After trailing his man from the
Mississippi to the Pacific coast, covering
more than $500 miles in the pursuit and
devoting his entire time to it for thir-
teen months, Peters captured him and
brought him back to Kansas, where he was
wanted on the specific charge of robbing
the postotiice at Saliva, Feb. is, 1901.
