SOLDIERS OF
THE LEGION

Tuesday Morning.

Them And Returned Home
Tuesday Night.
CARRELL IN CHARGE.

The company of Louisville soldiers
arrived Tuesday morning and were
marched to the court house and
quartered temporarily in the circuit
court room. They were reviewed by
Adjt. Gen. Johnston just before he
returned to Frankfort, Co. D. was
relieved from duty as soon as Co. H.
arrived, much to the disappointment
of the youthful fighters who had
been on duty for ten days. The local
soldier boys are the pride of Hop
kinsville and they were full of the
fighting spirit from the time they
were ordered out by Gov. Beckham.
Gen. Johnston paid them high praise
while in the city, but said it would
be his policy when handling loca
troubles to use troops from some
other locality, not that the local
companies were just as good soldiers
but because the men them selves
should be without any sylnpathiers on
either side to interfere with their
duties.

Mileage and Franks.

1t is natural that Congressman
should take up the discussion of the
mileage charge Of army officers with
difidence. It is almost n case Of
the pot and the kettle.
There can be no question but the
mileage Of the wearers of shoulder
straps is excessive. All mileage is
excessive. The system is based upon
obsolete conditions. When mileage
was first devised travel was slow
and costly and rates uncertain.
There was no general system Of
transportation. How member of
Congress should reach Washington
was a matter Of personal choice
with him. He could travel by an
established stage line or could use
his own vehicle, or could reach the
Capital by horseback That all
might fare justly it was necessary
that some standard of expense
should be fixed.
Nowadays, no such conditions
prevail 1t is possible for the clerk
of the House, for instance, to figure
out to the exact cent what it costs
the gentleman from Oregon to reach
Washington. With railroad and
steamship rates having practically a
common standard, there no longer
exists any real reason for mileage
allowance. What was once merely
a matter of justice and equity has
by the change of conditions become
an abuse and is generally looked
upon by even its benefciaries as a
bounty of unearned increment. not to
say a species of small graft. Or
binary honest and even a moderate
" close adherence to business prin-
ciples require that the system be
abolished and that instead the mem
bers of Congress, the officers of the
army, and others, who may be en-
titled to mileage at the expense of
Uncle Sam, shall be allowed the ex-
act cost Of their travel and no more.
Allied with this question. having
its origin in much the same obsolete
The Washington times., 1907-12-19

conditions, and having developed
into much the same sort of abuse is
the franking privilege. If honestly
and economically exercised no one
is the gamer by it, for it would then
be used for nothing which the Gov
eminent ought not to pay or would
not be willing to pay, and, therefore,
the privilege would be unnecessary.
If used otherwise, and it is not for
us to say that il is, of course, then
the privilege should be abolished.
Again, honesty, a recognition Of the
fact that human nature is weak, and
a moderately close adherence to
business principles demand the ex-
tinction Of the frank and that
Uncle Sam pay as nearly as can be
.ascertained the exact cost Of the use
of the mails by his Congressman,
department officials, and army and
navy officers.

Good Fortune for the District.

The people of the Capital take
genuine satisfaction in the assur-
ance that Samuel w. Smith, of
Michigan, is to head the House Com
mittee on the District Of Columbia.
The post is ore Of the first import
ance TO us. The power lodged in the
incumbent is as potential for good
or i'll, for real progress or municipal
marking time, as that which
attaches to anv Office in the District
government. 1t is good to know,
therefore, that the man who is to
fill it for many years, as we hope, is
eminently qualified and a proven
friend.
As chairman of a subcommittee
on the laws of the Capital and the
legal aspects of proposed legislation,
Mr. Smiths labors have not made
him generally known to citizens of
the District. But he has been,
nevertheless, one Of the most able
anu hiukthG WI hCAo @OA bAAC LIS
trict in Congress. During four of
his ten years of service in the House
he has followed local affairs as a
member of the District committee
and he took TO that service a
thorough understanding of our stu
alton as the result of careful atten-
ton during the six years proceed
ing
Hard work, courtesy, personal
kindness, open-mindedness, and an
unfinching determination to hear
both sides Of all questions are, per
haps, Mr.. Smiths most conspicuous
personal characteristics. But il is
not the least source of satisfaction
10 the people of the Capital that
they are united in the new District
chairman with a strong faith in the
City Beautiful and an ardent hope
that soon the south side of Penn
sylvania avenue will be a beautiful
park. enhancing the dignity of noble
buildings

Foreign Views.

The European press is fully alive
to the historic Importance of the
transfer of the bulk of our naval
strength to the Pacific, nor are some
of the French and English papers
backward about ascribing other mo-
tives than cruising practise to the
order which has sent our powerful
armada forth on It's 14,oO0-mile trip
to the vicinity of the Golden Gate.
The London Daily Mall describes
the cruise as a move whose full sig
nifcance Will not be understood for
years to come The London Daily
Telegraph makes the interesting
point that the movement of the feet
emphasizes to an extraordinary
degree the Presidents firm convic-
tion of the permanence of the good
relations between the United States
and Europe" The Outlook, one of
the foremost of British weeklies,
remarks that as a possible battle
ground, sit is no longer the Atlantic
but the Pacific that claims American
thought" The Sunday Observer
said: 'We fear that the Americans
have made a profound mistake If
they presume too much on Japanese
patience" Similarly pessimistic is
the Sunday Times, which, referring
TO Count Hayashi, the japanese min
lister Of foreign affairs, says: eff
he ignores the move for the time be-
ing, he viii plod on until he sue
ceeds with powerful circumstances
or can see no issue but to fight"
Most of the French papers, Il
seems, are of the opinion that, al

A Complete Answer.

I have read Secretary Cortelyou's
statement as published in the morning
papers. l am sure that the public will
accept IL as a truthful declaration of a
thoroughly sincere man. It disposes OF
the charge that 1 have been in any man
ner disloyaI to President Roosevelt.
That charge is absolutely false; in fact,
the President has told me he knows II
10 be false. 1 do not care to discuss
even this were ii not for the apprehen-
sion that some people who are unfa-
miliar with the facts may be misled by
the statements circulated.
This is the answer which Mr..
Hitchcock makes 10 charges widely
circulated since the meeting of the
Republican national committee. 1t
is the strong statement of a strong
mana statement to which his
every official act, every step in his
'emarkable progress in the Govern
ment service, gives credit. With the
equally conclusive declaration made
the day before by Mr.. Cortelyou it
constitutes a complete answer to
these charges. The President knows
and has known for several days
what the facts were. 1t is only
common justice that the public
should know and accept them as
well
The Washington times., 1907-12-19

Japan and the United States will
certainly adjust their little differ
ences. The minority view is not so
cheerful. One of the prominent
Frenchmen whom the newspaper
correspondents interviewed said of
the departure of the fleet: 1T is
an elementary measure of prudence
until Japan shows her hand"
Sooner or later several questions
of grave import must be tbreshed
out in the Far East. When the
threshing time comes the presence
of a capable American feet will be
a big factor for the preservation
of peace.
