MORE EFFECTIVE ARMY.
President Claims This tho Result OF
Recent Military Legislation.

President Claims This tho Result OF
Recent Military Legislation.
In speech at Fargo, South Dako-
ia. last Tuesday, President Roosevelt
discussed the object and probable ef-
feet Of the military legislation accom-
plished by the last congress as follows:
Moreover, the last congress enacted
some admirable legislation affecting
the army, passing first Of all the mill
tia bill and then the bill to create
general staff. The militia bill repre-
sents the realization of a reform Whlcn
had been championed ineffectively by
washington, and had been fruitlessly
agitated ever since. At last we nave
taken from the statute books the oD-
solete militia law Of the Revolutionary
days and have provided for efficient aid
to the National Guard Of states. I be-
lieve that no other great country has
such fine natural material for volun-
teer soldiers as, we have, and 1t Is the
obvious duty Of the nation and OF the
states to make such provision as Will
enable this volunteer soldiery to be or
ganizad with all possible rapidity and
efficiency in time Of war; and, further
more, to help in every way the Nation
al Guard in time of peace. The militia
law enacted Dy the COilSISSS iliehi NO ti'S
first long step ever taken In this dtrec-
ton by the national government.
The general staff law is Of immense
Importance and benefit to the regular
army. individually, I would not admit
that the American regular, either off,
Ger or enlisted man Is inferior to any
other regular soldier In the world. In
fact, IL 1t were worth while to boast, l
should be tempted to say that he was
the best. But there must be proper
training. proper organization, and ad-
ministration, in order to get the best
service out of even the best troops.
This is. particularly the case with such
a small army as ours, scattered over so
vast country. We do not need a
large regular army, but we do need to
have our small regular army the very
best that can possibly be produced.
Under the n-out and ineffective or
ganization which has hitherto existed,
a sudden strain Is absolutely certain to
produce the dislocation and confusion
we saw at the outbreak Of the war with
Spain, and when such dislocation and
confusion occur 1t Is easy and natural,
but entirely improper, to blame the
men who happen to be In office, in
stead of the system, which is really re-
sponsible. Under the law just enacted by
congress this system will be changed
immensely for the better, and every
patriotic American ought to rejoice:
for when we come to the army and
navy we deal with the honor and in
terests Of all our people, and when
such Is the case party lines are as
nothing, and we all stand shoulder to
shoulder as Americans, moved only by
pride in and love for our common
country.

Imprisonment Without Commitment.
Columbia State, Thursday: Jimmie
McMeeklin, the young man arrested
last Saturday night in connection with
the matter Of the infant found in Rocky
branch, and the subsequent develop
ment, was released from Jail last night
by order Of Judge Klugh. Mr.. j. w.
Thomas, representing McMeeklfn, ap-
peared before Judge Klugh just before
the court Of general sessions adjourn
ed for the day and stated that his client
had been imprisoned without commit
ment. This matter was investigated,
and it was found that Mr.. Thomas
statement was correct. Judge Klugh
said that he considered it a remarka-
BILE procedure for any county officer to
send a man to Jail without commit
ment unless he had been detected red
handed in crime. 1t was directly
against the statue and he did not con-
slider that any officer, even the judge
of the circuit court had authority for
such an action.
The State Militia.
Columbia Record, Wednesday: The
adjutant general has received from the
war department copy. of the last gen
eral order issued in regard to the In
spection of the state militia by an
army officer to be held soon. The Or
der requires that a return shall not
only be made Of the men enlisted and
Of the property now in use, but wheth-
er or not the organizations during the
year ending June 80, 1908, have par
ticipated in practice marches, or have
gone into camps of instruction at least
five consecutive days, and have assem-
bled for drill and instruction at COM
pany, battalion, or regimental armories
or rendezvous, or for target practice
not less than twenty-four times, and
shall have been inspected at some time
during the year by an officer of the
militia. Reports of inspections will be
sent to the department commanders
who will forward all reports of the
militia Of each state and territory as
soon as all inspectors have completed
and submitted such reports.

it practically involves action by their
lopiS1of,roc

it practically involves action by their
legislatures.
Because there are indications that
too rigid enforcement Of the law may
cause dissatisfaction, letters were to-
day sent to the commanders of all
military departments in the United
States urging that only officers OF
known efficiency and discretion be
chosen to make inspections. The letter
to Gen Chaffee, commanding the de-
partment Of the East, says in part:
1t will be enjoined upon such officers
that they will exercise the greatest
care and tact in their dealings with
the national guard, SO as to encourage
harmonious cooperation. Excessive
formality in these inspections Is not
desired. The inspection is principally
one to determine the condition of the
companies of the organized militia as
to their ability to take the field, pro-
perly armed, organized and disciplined
force, in case Of emergency.
Companies will, as rule, be inspec-
ted at their home stations and at times
when the avocations Of men and off,
GERS will not be interfered with. All
other things being equal, there Is no
objection to having the dates Of these
inspections coincide with the dates OF
state inspections, or to having state
inspector or an officer Of the Nation
al Guard accompany the officer you
detail.
One of the prime objects Of this IN
spection being to bring about as quick
ly as possible the issue Of magazine
arms and equipments, so that the
state can make use of those arms In
their target practice and encampments
of this year, it should take place with
out delay. An inspector should be de-
tailed for each state or territory.
In case a state or territory has an
unusually large number of troops. or
the itinerary Is unduly long, several Of
ficers should be detailed.
In every case the inspectors detailed
should first have conference with the
adjutant general Of the state or ter
ritory, proceeding, If necessary, to the
state capital, in order that he may OBJ
tain necessary data for the inspection.
