COMMISSIONS IN THE ARMY
Advantage Of Men in the Ranks
Over Graduates from
Academies.

Enlisted men have an unfair adyan-
/ tage over the graduates Of the United
/ States military academy in securing
commissions in the army. according 10
/ Maj Gen. Corbin. commanding the
+ Philippine division, in a recent report
TO the war department.
Gen. Corbin states that enlisted men
may be advanced to the grade Of sec
ond lieutenant after a service OF Two
years in the ranks, whereas cadets az
the United States military academy
cannot be so advanced until after a
service of for years, The cadet who,
after two or more years OF service.
is found deficient in one or more
studies may be relegated to private
life. though his deficiency be in a sub
jeet as to which enlisted men are not
examined when trying for a commits
sion. No less than four years OF thor
ough. practical and theoretical work
is required OF the cadet; not more
than two years Of less thorough prae-
tical work and a moderate amount OF
theoretical work may advance the en-
listed man
THE inequality is glaring," saws
Gen. Corbin, "and should be reduced
by increasing the length of prelimi-
nary service required of the enlisted
men to at least four years. exceptions
being always made for those appoint
ments which are rewards for oonspic-
nous merit or gallantry. These should
be made wherever earned.
THE law providing for commission
ing enlisted men was intended TO en-
courage this class by prospect Of pos
sible advancement TO the highest grade
Of officer, and so far was praiseworthy
In the extreme But Il falls short of
its object in that advantage is taken
Of il as providing a short cut 10 a
commission by men who have no idea
Of serving as enlisted men beyond the
minimum period required to secure
that commission"

WANTS CONVENTION

The Juneau Dispatch has joined with those who dssIre an Alaskan eonven- IIcn for the consideration of legislation for this district. 10, however, has different Idea of the proper course to pursue from those heretofore suggested, It would conhne It's convention Co rep resentAtlves from Southeastern Alaska and irom the coast As far west as Valdez, II says:
 There ls a necessity and urgent de- mAnd for convention this fall to die suss needed legislation for Southeast srn Alaska. The convention should in' clude all the camps and towns from Valdez to KetchIkAn, and to promote a representative gathering, no proxies should be allowed. For once the peo- ple of Southern Alaska should council to decide upon ways Snd means lo se- cure intelligent legislation. The Dis patch appeals to the newspapers ot Douglas city, SkAgwsy, Sitka, Wran- geH, Ketchikan, Seward and Valdez 10 take the matter up and suggest the best means to secure the much needed convention.
 "The Dispatch Is opposed to proxy convention because it has been appar- ent ln the past that well represented delegations have been out-yoted by proxy-holders whose interest appeared to make A farce of the convention, Let each community have honest represen- tAtlon and An honest roll call. "
 The Daily Alaskan would prefer an All-AlAskan convention If there were time to provide for oLe and were 1t pos slble to secure representatives from all sections of the district. However, a convention of Southeastern and West ern AlaSka-SeWard should be in- cluded-'t actually representative or the people, could be of incalculable ben eft to the entire district, The couyen- tiou should be held and 1t should pro vide for raising a fund with which to send delegate or a committee of citi- Eeus to be present at Washington dur Ing the next session of congress. The delegate or, if committee, each mem- Der of the committee should be some one who would not represent any other interest than that of the people as a whole. He should take his instructions from she convention and he should stay by his text until the motion to adjourn sine die shall have been agreed to.
