PAY OF ARMY OFFICERS.
Popular misconceptions Prevent
Change for the Better.
New York Sun.

New York Sun
From a letter written by an army woman,
the wife OF a captain, who knows from
hard experience the inadequacy OF her hus-
bands professional income TO the ordinary
and unavoidable demands made on it, this
sentence is taken:
LESS historical adulation in time of
war and more intelligent interest In time Of
peace from the public would make the
army (officers and mem happier, better
and more effective"
In the correspondence received by the
Sun on the question of army officers pay,
the publication OF which has now ceased,
this lack Of Intelligent interest" has been
illustrated frequently. Civilians generally
seem to assume that an officer is sheltered,
fed clothed, armed and transported by the
government without personal expense.
Some correspondents have spoken of the
officers salaries as met" a bonus over all
necessary expenses. Not a few, while
realizing that the officers have heavy eX-
penses have asserted that they obtained
personal servants free OF cost, coal for
nothing. insurance free, and so on through
long list. The facts, as set forth by
many army men and women, are entirely
different from the popular misconception.
and the officers paid on a schedule adopted
more than a geenration ago. compelled to
live in a certain style, to maintain social
relations with persons far richer than
themselves and put TO many expenses a
civilian does not have to meet. have a hard
struggle to get along and keep out of debt.
II is clear that the pay schedule needs
overhauling, readjustment and general In
creasing TO put the officers on a just COM
pensation. This can be accomplished only
when the public understands the real facts
and rids its mind Of errors and miscon-
structions. The public today believes, mis-
takenly. that the army officeT is we'll paid.

Growing Monopoly of Fuel.
PHILADELPHIA Record,


1t is believed In the anthracite region that
the coal railroads are eliminating the indie
pendent producers by buying them out
Seventeen million dollars is reported to
have been paid for coal lands within a
short time. Senator Tillman says the Hep
burn bill must contain a stringent pro-
hibition of the ownership and control by
public carriers of articles to be shipped over
their lines. But that might not reach a
railroad operating wholly in one state.

''Clang! Clang! Clang!" That was the
way this moving protest got under way. 1t
was the sound Of the gong of the car that
led the procession. "Clang! Clang! Clang!"
echoed the gongs of twenty other cars in
the wake of the leader.
Services had been held i'm the church un-
der the direction of Archbishop Qugley and
the body had been borne by the pallbearers
to the tracks of the trolley line. With I'M
covered heads $500 mourners-men. women
and children-had followed the coffin and
had crowded into the conveyances. Thus
this procession started for Mount Olivet,
where burial took place later.
An unexpected feature of the procession
OF pedestrians was the appearance Of five
carriages. in which the dignitaries of the
church rode These, however. traversed
only the short distance from the edifce to
the cars. No one went to the cemetery in
any other manner than over the rails.
In fact the cortege as 1t moved away
from the church was as much unlike other
funeral parades as it well could be.

such thoughtfulness for the self-respect-

burdensome extravaganza" comments the
Chicago News, must arouse the admiration
of all for the kindly priest, who even in
death teaches a useful lesson to those he
loved and for whom he labored. They
should profit by the lesson. Simplicity in
funerals, with the avoidance of needless
expense, would be very desirable reform
for hard working families of small means

A few days before his death last Thurs
day. Rev. Martin Van de LIAR. priest OF
ST. Patricks church. South Chicago, re-
quested that his body be conveyed to the
grave in a street car The request was
practical application of his often expressed
opposition to the extravaganza of modern
funerals. He declared he had known many
occasions when the expenses incurred
necessitated a constant scrimplng for many
months following and stated that he be-
lieved the root of the custom was false
pride. He said he knew his funeral would
be large one, that IL carriages were used
many OF his poorer Pensioners would be
unable to attend, and, he desired that
none should be excluded, he asked that
street cars be used in the procession.
