Really if half of what Gen. Butt says is

nearly everything they should not be and
nothing they should be. There is no health
in them.
The cure of these evil conditions. says
Gen. Butt, will cost something like s12o.-

trained according to the most modern
methods known to military science and
with officers schooled az highly as any ma
tons are" This means that West Point IS

ammunition are ineffective. that the drill is
bad. that the training is theoretical and

IDENTIFY look for Congress to appropriate

to standard. There are certain popular
prejudices against a large military estlb-
ishment. A good many people cling to the
old-fashioned notion that the militia, of the
virtue of which Gen. Butt has intimate
a knowledge, stands as a strong reserve.
Some folks are even so foolish as to mag
inc that the army is up-to-date in the es-
sentials. even if it does not make as pretty
a show in the field when grand maneuvers
are held. Perhaps Gen. Butt will come
over here some day and appear before the
military committees of Congress and give
them the advantage of his observations. If
then the country refuses to accept his ad-
vice and gets into trouble it will be no
fault of his.

Ride or Retire.
From the New York SUI.

From the New York Sun.
The epaulet led soldier. the officer born to
command, is the man on horseback in popu-
lar conception. No sculptor carves a mill
tary hero on foot. He Is always mounted
on spirited Thoroughbred with sweeping
tail and inflated nostrils. There are a
good many army men in Washington who
prefer an automobile to a charger and a
padded office chair to a Mexican saddle
They do not share the popular notion Of
an officer mounted and mobile. So they
regard general order No 1893, which pre-
scribes a riding test of fifteen miles for
field officers below the rank of general as
a harsh decree and wanton interference
with vested rights. If the chief of the
general staff were a sluggish. obese man.
tender in his riding seat. the test would
not appall. but he happens to be centaur
and cal'ous of the feelings of stout gem
tlemen scant of breath who shy at a horse
In the maneuvers three years ago 1t was
Bell who refused TO be captured by the
enemy and made good his escape by a
breakneck gallop through the enveloping
lines. No mercy is TO be expected from
such hard riding chief of staff.

Hearst and His League.

Mr.. Hearst was with his own in New
York city Saturday afternoon and evening.
He was in full sympathy with the Inde-
pendence League and the league with him
The occasion was a tryst kept in the spirit
of lovers, and both Were happy. He gave
the boys line of stirring talk, and they re-
sponded with line of stirring enthusiasm
If everything had been cut in advance 1t
had not been permitted to dry. Sap unmis
takaby appeared in all the proceedings.
The occasion had two features: local
feature and a national feature. AS to the
former an outsider can be no good judge of
the action taken. 1t may be the part of
wisdom for the New York league to stand
up and be counted this year on political
nominations Mr.. Hearst and the other
speakers put the case strongly. and if they
canvass the state in that spirit and with
speeches of like tenor they should at least
max things lively. The yoking of demo
era. and a republican together as the can
diGates-d thing the republicans and the
democrats are expected to do-was shrewdiy
conceived.
On the other hand, there is the sugges-
ton of danger in thus conce ntratins pollt-
ical fire for six weeks on the judiciary of

John Marshall received much in his day,
and of as severe character, as any politician
ever did. But there is extravaganza IL

judges anywhere, state or federal, are the
tools of capital, and inclined to decide in
capitals favor. right wrong The state
ment Is not true, and any insstence on 1t
for partisan advantage by the c1ap-trap
vociferation of the stump is reckless and
should be rebuked.
The national feature of the meeting re-
lated to Mr.. Hearst and the presidency. He
was hailed as Our next President''-a con-
ventional tribute in a way, but still not
without pertinency as respects the leagues
larger purposes. He is going through the
conventional performance of putting the
crown away. Bowling low, he shakes his
head and declares that he wants to serve
in the ranks-as a sort of high private in
rear rank. But the league evidently will
not have it that way. 1t knows a good
thing when there is daylight to see and it
recognizes in its creator and preserver the
very best thing ever.
