there is no Army post in the country
where there would not be q coterie of
officers scheming for free transporta-
ton, and many of them would have a
club to hold over the railroads in max
ing the requests.
Navy officers have been guilty of tho
same encroachments upon the rail-
roads but not to such an extent as
Army officers, because more of them
are at sea. But there is a large staff
of Navy officers on duty at Washington
and at Navy Yards who like to take
little trips for which no ingenious way
can be found to make the Government
pay.
The Army goes to the Capitol plead
ing that 1t is not as well treated as the
Navy. That gives its officers some lit
tie standing. The appropriations for
the Navy nowadays are about $40, ,0O0,-
900 year more than for the Army
Then the Army has never been fully
reconciled to the prestige which the
Navy seems to have gained in recent
years. President Roosevelt, while a
friend of both branches of the military
service, has a preference for the Navy
and has done a deal more of active
work for it than he has for the Army
Under his Administration. however
there has been great pressure at the
Capitol for giving more and more to
the officers of both branches and to
enable them to keep up appearances
with people who are far richer than
the average officer in the Army or Navy
service can hope to be. But there is
now decided disposition in Congress
to curb those activities. and not to rec
ogniZe so much the social ambitions OF

rhree Big Appropriatiou BiII..

Three big appropriation bills have
been under consideration at the Capitol
in recent days. The Senate has been get
ting the Indian appropriation bill out OF
the way. 1t was one of the worst bills
that has come before Congress for a
long time. 1t was loaded down with
graft OF the worst kind, and Eastern
Senators started to pound the graft out
of 1t. They labored several days, and
succeeded in getting the worst features
eliminated. One of the worst was a
provision for removing restrictions from
Indian lands, which would have Injured
to the benefit of the Standard Oil COM
pany and lot Of spectators who try
to profit from the ingenuousness of the
Indian. The same thing happens near
~ every year with the Indian appro-
priation bill, except that this year the
fraud in it was greater than ever. Sem
ator Charles Curtis, of Kansas, a quar-
ter Kaw Indian, who has just taken his
seat, and who was a member of the
House and helped frame the Indian
bill there. was of material assistance in
the Senate In eliminating the graft pro-
visions.
The House has passed the River and
Harbor appropriation bill. with a total
of over $S0,000.O00 1t is the largest
bill of Its kind ever passed by Congress,
and is calculated to help along a boom
Tor many ports thruOut the country. AS
soon as the final vote had been taken
on 1t the House began to consider the
Naval appropriation bill. There is al
ways a long debate on the Navy, and
there will be no exception this year.
The Senate is much imbued with an
anti-miltary spirit. 1t has been shown
of late in the discussion over the Army
appropriation bill, and in the resent
ment because the Senate Military AZ
fairs Committee has tried to put thru
a budget sS,000,000 larger than the
House voted. The same anti-militarv
spirit, it might be said prevails in the
House. Chairman Hull, Chairman of
the House Military Committee. has been
made to feel 1t on several occasions.
Much of the trouble has come from
the domination by the War Department
of these committees of Congress. In the
old days the Military Chairmen were
Independent, and reported the legisla-
ton they thought desirable, without
dictation from the War Department.
Senator Warren, the present Chairman
of the Senate Committee, Is in hand
and glove with Army officers, has a SON
in-law, Gen. John ]. Pershing, who was
jumped over hundreds of officers to
have his promotion, and is apt to do
about what the coterie of Army officers
in the War Department Bureaus want
him to do.

Passes for Officers.

One of the amendments carried on
the Army bill, as reported TO the Sem
ate, virtually permits the Army officers
to have railroad passes. That form of
petty graft fiourished among Army Off
GERS prior to the enactment of the rate
law. 1t was confined, of course. to off,
GERS who had something to do with
transportation of troops or with other
business in which the railroads were
interested. There was not an officer in
the War Department of any conse-
quence who could not walk down to
the representative of the Pennsylvania
or Baltimore & Ohio, or Southern, or
Chesapeake & Ohio Railroads here in
Washington and secure free ticket
for himself and often for members of
his family. These men in staff posi-
tions were very proud of their railroad
pulls. and worked" these pulls as
much as did any Senator or member of

ceeds, for the average Congressman,
who now has to put up good money for
his railroad fare. will not like to see
Army officers swelling around railroad
trains with free passes, when he has to
pay money for his own ride. The Army
officers, with all their perquisites which
they contrive to conceal, in the main
are well paid. and Congress knows can
afford to pay for their railroad riding
as well as any other citizens. Further
more, many of them receive fat sums
for mileage when ordered from post to
post This mileage is seven cents a
mile, which on certain kinds of trips is
needed to pay for hotel bills. But the
officers are given many details of a
character that yields comfortable sums
on mileage, especially nowadays when
officers are frequently sent to distant

Young man killed at Clifton, shipped
to Clarlsburg as that of Howard
Scott Smith and denied to be the
body of Smith by the family, was bur-
led yesterday afternoon in the Mason-
ic cemetery at CIarksburg, the men,
bers of the Smith family.
The members of the family are ve-
hement in their declaration that the
body is not that of their relative, but
the public Is becoming skepdcal. II
the body is not that of Smith, why
does the family order IL buried, Is
the question asked.
The belief is growing that the body
of the man buried yesterday is real
Iy that of Howard Scott Smith, who
left Clarksbprg owing debts that had
been outlawed. Many theories are
advanced why the family should want
to deny the identity of the corpse
Friends of the Smith family cannot
understand why the body should be
buried here, unless it is that of the
