THE ARMY.


The effect of the laws providing a gen.
eral staff for the Army and for the more
enective use of the National Guard. has
been excellent. Great Improvement has
been made In the efficiency of our ARMY
IN recent years. Such SCHOOLS as those
erected at Fort Leavenworth and Fort
Riley and the institution of Fall maneuver
work accomplished satisfactory results
Ihe good effect of these maneuvers upon
the National Guard is marked, and annie
appropriation should be made to enable
the guardsmen of the several states To
share in the benefit. The Government
should as soon as possible secure suitable
permanent camp sites for military man
euVers In the various sections of the conn
Try. The service thereby rendered not
only to the regular Army, but to the Ma
tional Guard of tine several states. will be
so great as to repay many times oyer the
relatively small expense. We should not
rest satisfied with what has been done,
however The only people who are con-
tented with system OF promotion by
mere seniority are those who are con-
tented with the triumph of mediocrItv
over excellence. On the other hand. a
system which encouraged the exercise of
social or political favoritism in promo
tions would be even worse But II vould
surely be easy to devise a method of mo-
motion from grade to grade In which the
opinion OF the higher officers of the serv-
ice upon the candidates should be decisive
upon the standing and promotion Of the
latter Just such a system now ohta5ns
