SO great an influence there that 1t had
never occurred to anybody outside the
department that he would have any
other detail before his retirement, which
comes now In about three years.
But the creation of the general staff
has established q new order of things.
The Office Of adjutant general is nc long
er the place of power it became during
the period when the absurd fiction was
maintained Of a commanding general
with ample title and no prerogative.
The chief Of staff under the new system
becomes the guiding force of the mill
tary establishment, and Lieut.. Gen.
Young, the chief of staff, has taken the
room SO long occupied by Corbin imme-
liately adjoining that of the secretary
of
There is really very little for the ad-
ssss2t general tc dc LIs hes become i.
effect the adjutant to the chief of sstah,
and Corbin is altogether too big a man,
and has been the real thing in the army
too long, to adjust himself gracefully to
such an arrangement. So, with the
hearty acquiescence of Gen. Young, who
tis a close and loyal friend, Corbin leaves
the department to accept the most i'm
%portant subordinate command.

stage when the war with Spain broke
and as adjutant general he had an
opportunity to impress himself upon still
a third Ohio president. Mckinley leaned
on Corbin more than on any other mill
ltary officer during the war with Spain,
n after its close he and the adju.ant
general were inseparable companions.
Corbin was one of the men who never
mad to wait outside the white house door.
no matter who might be within. His
great tact and knowledge of men stood
MN IN good stead, and his executive
ABILITY was largely responsible for what
ever was done in 1898 to bring order
out OF the chaos of the wal department.
He has made it his business for 80
years to get along with people without
friction, and the only failure credited
TO him was in the case of Gen. Miles.
Even that was not his fault. He could
not get along with Miles simply because
Miles would not get along with him and
persisted in believing that Corbin, who
started out as his friend, was trying to
undermine him.

ing the entire army, and he will have
an opportunity to put into practice On a
large scale some Of the principles he has
been preaching for years. Under him
will come the greater portion Of the
coast Notifications, a problem which in
itself is worthy of the best mind of a
military genius. He will be directly in
line also to succeed Chaffee when the
latter ~retires from the lieutenant gen
-eralship of the army in 1906.
BY virtue Of rank Corbin would now
be entitled to the lieutenant generals
stars, but in view Of the fact that his
rank was gained in the staff, and of the
further fact that his assumption Of the
rank would have barred Young and
Chaffee, his seniors in years, but his
juniors in rank, he waived any claim he
might have had and gave the others a
chance. Had he remained as adjutant
general and been submerged In the gem
erai star it is conceivable thai ne might
have sunk out Of sight by the time of
Cnaifee's retirement, but there is no
such danger now
Corbin will be about the last Of the
civil war veterans to retire from active
service. There will be in three years
nobody except himself and Gen. MacAr-
thur left In the service Of all the officers
who saw service between 1861 and 1865
in any capacity.

dangerous. They are just a little
turned in the upper story and they
are either sent out of town to their
friends or else deposited in the govern
ment asylum at st. Elizabeth, there
to mediate on the indifference of the
world to great ideas and to compare
themselves to Calico and other mar
tyrs to the cause of mind.
Over 4GG cranks were arrested az the
white house last year and over 300
were arrested the year. before. The ar
rest OF any n Of them might have
been given q sensational Significance
If the proper coioring had only been
supplied by an imaginative newspaper
man, and with just as much reason as
in the case of the poor devil vino was
hustled out Of the white house vestibule
q few days ago and broke a cab window
in the attempt to get away from his
captors.
The white house ushers are experts
in this sort Of thing. They can tell a
crank on sight, and it is a very rare
thing indeed for one Of them to get
by them even in a crowd. They rec
ognize also that the variety OF crank
which comes to Washington is not
dangerous as a rule. Most Of the un-
fortunates have some patent or scheme
upon which they have been working
for years until they are mentally upset
and conclude to come to the seat of
government in order to get somebody
in authority to recognize them. They
swarm about the capitol and they are
sized up for just about what they are
worth.

and about his anxiety lest he should
tip the scales at some extraordinary
figure. One story went out from Oys-
ter Bay that he weighed 226 pounds
and was constantly growing, much to
his disgust and alarm. Just why the
figure was placed at 226 instead of 225
cannot be explained except on the
theory that exact figures would add
verisimilitude to an otherwise bald
and aaconTiasss oan
now be stated on the very highest au-
thority" that the president weighs 1879
pounds and that he has not weighed
any more than that this summer. In
fact the presidents weight has not
yario1 more snan INC u t;iTeo pounds
since he entered the white house ex-
cept on the occasions when he has
been making long trips by rail. When
he is of on q tour the lack of exercise
and the constant temptation to eat tend
to increase his weight, but even at the
highest he has never run up to 200
pounds.
It is not q matter OF f~ar-reaching i'm
portance and the fate Of the nation will
not be affected mi way or the other,
but IN the interest Of historic accuracy
1t Is Just as well to make this right.
