WHERE SENATOR OVERMAN
STUCK A PEG.

Not long ago Senator Overman in a
committee meeting put some pertinent
questions to the assistant secretary of
war regarding the payment by the gov.
eminent of the travelling expenses of
army officers when engaged on private
affairs and in particular in reference
to defraying the expenses Of General
Wood on q trip around the world when
in quest Of specialists to practice On
his health. The war department Off
Gals admitted that General Woods
pines to the United States via the Pa
cific and back to his station by way
of Europe, the bill amounting to about
six thousand dollars. 1t was contend
ed by the war department in defense
of this action that an army officer in
search of health was as much acting
in the service of the government as
when travelling on special duty.
Secretary Taft has come down from
this high position and admits that
there was much force in the questions
of the North Carolina senator and that
they have resulted in the correction of
certain abuses at which they were
aimed. This admission was made by
him while before the senate committee
on military affairs on Tuesday. He
wont CT far. oy-on nc To admit thot tho
war department should not have paid
all Of General Woods expenses
on that globe circling tour and said
that the general had been requested to
refund part of the money paid to him
as expenses on that trip. He recon-
mended that hereafter actual expenses
only in travelling be paid army officers
and that the latter be required to
travel on transports in going to and
from our insular possessions.
Senator Overman knew what he was
about when he was putting those ques-
tons and he did not allow himself to
be thrown off the track by the naughty
attitude Of the war department officials
toward him, and the line OF question
ing he saw proper to pursue. The re-
suit Of his persistency is an admission
from the secretary of war that he was
right and that there were abuses of
the kind he pointed out.
But we wonder what the president
will have to say about this Wood mat
ter. The idea Of making his close
friend and favorite army officer pay
back part of the money the war de-
partment spent on him while running
around the world hunting a doctor to
suit his fancy is bad enough; but for
his friend Taft to admit that the pay.f
ment of such a bill of expenses was an
abuse which should be corrected by the
return of part at least of the money
will probably be more than his nerves
and temper can stand. SO, we may ex-
pect to hear from Mr.. Roosevelt on the
subject: it may be in the nature of an
executive order ~fOrbidding General
Wood to make restitution of a single
dollar, and if the general feels like tax
ing a trip home about this time the Or
der may contain instructions for him
to report at the White house in order
to explain why he should not make
restitution.
