The Army and Navy.
The effect of the laws providing a gen
eral staff for the army and for the more
effective 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 accomplish satisfactory results.
The coed effect of these maneuvers~ upon
the national guard IS marked, and ample
appropriation should be made to enable
the guardSmen of the several states to
share in the benefit. The government
should soon as possible secure suitable
permanent camp sites for military man
euvers in the various sections of the
country. The service thereby rendered
not only to the regular. army. but to the
national guard of the several states. will
be SO greai as to repay my times over
the relatively small expense. We should
not rest satisfied with what has been
done, however The only people who are
cOptented with a system of promotion
by mere seniority are those who are con-
tented with the triumph of mediocrity
over excellence. On the other hand
system which encouraged the exercise of
social or political favoritism in promo
lions would be even worse. But It would
surely be easy to devise a method of
promotion from grade to grade In which
the opinion of the higher officers of the
service upon the candidates should be
decisive upon the standing and promotion

AS Acting Mayor the Councils
President VIII Pass on Meas
ure He Opposed.
SALARY INCREASE INVOLVED.
Inspectors Bill Which Was Once
Defeated by Hornsby's Vote
Arouses Interest in Mayors
Absence.

Politicians are wondering what Acting
Mayor Hornsby will do with the bill au-
thorizing the increase of the salary of the
City Smoke Inspector and employees Of that
Office when it comes before him for sigma
ture
BY peculiar coincidence Mr. Hornsoy has
the power to veto the bill Acting Mayor
which he opposed as President of the Coun-
Gil. by virtue OF the fact that Mayor Wells
is in Colorado for q two weeks stay and
ps the law provides that the President of
the Council shall become Acting Mayor
when that official is for any reason unable
TO perform his duties.
The law states that a bill shall go to the
Mayor for his approval or disapproyal as
soon as it has passed both branches Of the
Municipal Assembly. and the Mayor shall
within ten days after he receives 1t return
1t to the house in which it originated with
his signature or objections.
However. should the Mayor fail to return
the bill to the Assembly within ten days
after he has received it. It shall become a
law as IL approved by him. Therefore there
are two dispositions which Acting Mayor
Hornsby may make of the bill
He can allow the ordinance TO go into
effect without affixing his signature. and in
the stand he took when the Council had the
bill up for consideration.
ON the other hard. ne may veto the Dill
and thus add his nnal disapproval of the
measure and compel the Assembly to pass
IT over his veto by two-thirds vote of the
strength of each house.
The Assembly, it is believed. would do
this as before sufficient time could elapse
for the bill to be passed the second time
Mayor Wells will have returned and the
House and Codncil might not care to take II
chance on Mayor Weiss turning 1t down
in the face of q veto by Acting Mayor
Hornsby.
When this bill was first placed upon its
passage in the Council President Hornsby' $
vote defeated it. because II so happened that
only seven members We're present. all OF
whom voted for the bill with the exception
of Hornsby. The law provides that ma
iority OF all the members OF the Council IS
required to pass an ordinance.
At the next meeting, however, friends of
the bill procured n larger attendance and
moved TO reconsider and passeu the bill L:
then went to the House. where Charles
V.itthoeft of the Second Ward won his spurs
speaker and was dubbed old TO- for
his opposition to bills calling for added ex-
penditures of money.
His opposition was OF no avail. however.
as the House passed the ordinance and yes
terday returned ii TO the Council. where it
received its final reading and was signed by
President HoTnsby.
