Army Vacancies.

To the Editor of The Star:

TO the Editor OF The Star:
Through the columns of your paper !
would like to protest against most unfair
and plainly Illegal order of the War De-
partmentt This orde~ allotted the va
cancies existing in the army at midnight
on June 80, 1906, in most revo-
lutionary and arbitrary manner. Instead
OK following the law as interpreted for the
past twenty-five years, viz: First, to the
West Point graduates; I'd, to enlisted men
who have passed the prescribed examIna-
ton for commissions, and Sd. If any va
cancies are left to civilians. The order
states that only eighteen of the thirty-six
now existing vacancies will go to the en-
listed men, six in the artillery, six In the
cavalry and six in the infantry, and as the
artillery examination has been made so
difficult this year that no enlisted men will
try for it, 1t practically leaves but twelve
commissions for class of thirty-one can
didates, thus sealing beforehand the fate
of nineteen of them who may possibly make
TOO per cent on their examinations, and CIV
Ing the vacancies to civilians who have
not worked nor served faithfully and long
for the privilege of a commission, but
whose title to favor lies simply in political
pull.
If not a downright and Illegal wrong this
is certainly a most un-American proceed
ing, and il the order Is not withdrawn will
cause. shame and modification to all lovers
of the service. One of our proudest boasts
has been that our army was not as other
armies, but an institution where q man
who had the courage and ability might rise
from private to lieutenant general with
railitary ability and a fair field and no
favor. Certainly these enlisted men who
are working for their commissions came
into the. service-many of them have even
re-enlisted with the expectation Of becom-
ing an officer should they be faithful and
e.lligent enough to pass the required ex-
eminations.
Are we going to let our army be run
upon false pretenses and favors distributed
in payment of political debts or are we
going to keep our promises to these men
and give them the free and equal chance
10 become officers in the United States
army on their own merits and on them
alone? WILL ADAMS.

Commissioners Reasons for Declining
to Install Service Sewers.

In letter to President Lancaster of the
Citizens Northwest Suburban Association
the Commissioners have refused the re-
quest of that association for the construc-
ton of certain service sewers in their sec
ton of the District The plans advocated
by the citizens association called for sew
ers along Broad Branch road commencing
at Kingle road bridge. thence north to
Soapstone valley and west to Tenley town
and another crossing Rock Creek at Piney
branch.
One reason given for denying the request
at this time was that the construction of
the sewers would require the expenditure
of more than three-fourths of the total of
100000 appropriated by the last Congress
for suburban sewers. The Commissioners
state that they will make an effort to Sc
cure authorization from the next Congress
to do the work as requested.

WEATHER. CROP BULLETIN.
For the Week Ending Monday, July
2. 1906,

Des Moines. July 3.-With averages
temperature slightly above the normal.
and frequent showers. the weather
conditions during the past week were
about all that could be desired for the
growth Of vegetation. The heaviest
rainfall occurred in Lyon county, where
the amount reported was $50 inches.
At numerous other stations the
amounts reported ranged from to
inches. In a few localities there was
some damage caused by wind and hail.
Generally there is ample moisture for
present needs, and the soil is in good
condition for field work and growth OF
crops. Very good progress has been
made in cultivation Of corn, and a large
acreage will be laid by in extra good
filth during the first week in July.
The bulk of the corn crop is fully up
to the normal in height, color and
stand. Haying is in progress, and this
late meadows show material improves
ment from the effects Of recent show
ers. Oats, spring wheat and barley
are filling well. A few reports Of
damage by rust have come from
northern districts. Pastures are much
improved, and the minor crops are do.
ing well. Apples and small fruit sres
ahnut as previously reported.

1t is also to the benefit of the rail-
roads themselves, because they are
assessed on a basis of taxation in the
counties where the rate of assessment
is low and not on the basis fixed by
the larger cities, where the rate is
high.
SIN Iowa the fixing of the assess
n,ents on these corporations is done
by the executive council, and 1t is for
this reason that the railroad corpora.
tions interest themselves so much In
our Iowa politics. Throughout this
whole campaign have made my fight
before the people, generally speaking
on this one issue. find they are en-
tirely responsive to the idea that a
corporation, as such, is entitled to
ample representation wherever its
interests are concerned in the courts
in the legislature, and IN the excu
tive offices, but that it is extremely
dangerous to the interests of the PEG
pie to have that corporation assume
to dictate the selection Of members
of the Legislature, or Of judiciary, or q
