Needs Of III. krmv.

The total estimates of the War De-
partment for the next fiscal year, as
shown by the annual report of the Sec
retary of War, amount 20 $18g,755, 5,039,
an increase of about $52.000,000 over
the appropriations for the present fiscal
year. This increase is largely for river
and harbor work and other public
works of a civil character, for which
purpose about $4,000. 900 is asked. OF
the balance about $19,506,000 is an ad-
ditional estimate for the support of the
Army. Military Academy and the mill
tia. For military public works, such as
Notifications. arsenals, military posts,
etc. the estimates call for an Increase
of $17,800, 900. Jla-li
The Secretary of War especially rec
ommends an addition of 6I2 officers to
the Army. and also approves policy
for the elimination from the service of
all officers who fail to maintain the
requisite standard of efficiency. Both
OF these propositions were before Con-
gress at its last session, and will be
strongly urged this year.
The necessity for more officers, the
report states. Is due to the unavoidable
detachment OF officers from their regu-
lar service WIN troops. At present there
are on detached duty 6sI officers and
157 additional absent on leave or on
account of sickness.
To provide for the 612 additional Off
GERS the Secretary states there will be
added an annual cost Of between $2,-
600. 900 and $s,000,000

President-EIect Bill.

In every campaign for the last dozen
years at least there has been a discus
sion OF what should be done in case
the President-elect of the United States
should die before he was inaugurated.
Everybody has had a theory about who
should succeed and how he should sue
ceed. but as a matter of fact there has
never been any warrant in law, or the
Constitution, for the successor to a
President-elect.
Senator Bacon, of Georgia, has at
last taken the thing up in the proper
way, and has introduced resolution
proposing an amendment to the Federal
Constitution relating to the succession
to the President.
It is designed to meet such contin-
gency as the death of the President
elect in the interval following his cleo
ton and the date of Inauguration, and
any other possible contingency.
BY the terms of the amendment the
Vice President-eleet would, on March A.
Inaugural Day, enter upon the duties of
the Office of President, just as he is
authorized to do now under the Consti-
tuition, in the contingency of vacancy
in the Presidency occurring in the term.
Representative Burke, Of Pittsburg,
called the Presidents. attention to what
looked like break in the line of sue
ceSsion few weeks ago, and while Mr..
Roosevelt expressed the opinion that
such contingency was provided for,
he agreed that it might be more Sc
curely guarded against by an amend
ment to the Constitution.

LINCOLN PROGRAM.
Capt. Oldroyd's Book a Great Success,

Capt o. H. Oldroyd has reason to. be
proud of the tremendous popularity of
his Lincoln Birthday anniversary pro-
gram. 1t was exactly what every pa
triotic person wanted, and is gem of
Lincoln "reminiscences II you never.
wanted to use 6 line of 1t as a program.
Capt. Oldroyd felt that his program
ought to be full enough so that busy
men would not have to take time to
hunt up the memoranda for a speech,
and has managed to get into the 20
pages of his program the exact poems.
songs. fragments of speeches of Lin
eoln, including his Gettysburg address,
which has become a classic in almost
every written language, with the story
OF his boyhood, another of his early
manhood, and stifl another of him as
President 1t is a rarely good book
just to read.
Some of the letters which Capt Gid
royd is getting about the centenary of
Lincoln are most encouraging for those
who love the very name of the Nations
greatest man. P. J. Kline, one of the
Ohio Patriotic Instructors of the @. A.
r.. has written Capt. Oldroyd for 159
of the programs, which he intends to
present to each of the Scioto County
schools. Henry p. Fisher, of Wauke-
sha, Wis, agrees to purchase from, Capt.

Commander-in-Chie Nevius thinks
the program is a wonderful affair. and
he ordered 100 copies to place il the
school which he attended as a boy.
In. the whole 20 pages there is not a

they hated what he stood for, could use
