At the recent session of the Women S
Army and Navy League in Washington il
was disclosed that a communication had
been sent 10 the President conveying the
message from an army chaplain on his
deathbed in the form OF an appeal for
the exercise of military authority which
would discourage. il il did not prevent,
the employment of profanity on the part
of army officers in their attitude toward
enlisted men. 1t appears that this mes
sage related that this use OF too vigorous
language is having a detrimental effect
upon the sentiment of the enlisted force.
the members of which were rendered dis
contented with their lot on account of
this form Of abuse
There have been many suggestions ad-
vanced from variety of sources. as TO
the causes Of the disinclination OF young
men to enlist and the growing unwilling
ness Of soldiers 10 make the army life
occupation. The reason given by the
dying chaplain is the most original. as it
is the most impressive. not to say star
Ting 1t Is imaginable that due account
must be made for the point OF view OF
the complainant. who might be expected
TO Siye undue significance and value 10
profanity under any circumstances. It
would hardly be fair to take this incident
as an evidence that the enlisted man Of
the army is treated so harshly, or per
haps eontemptuously. by his commanding
officers as TO present any appreciable rea-
son for refusing 10 continue in service
when the period OF enlistment has ex-
pired. There are enough ChapIains on
the active list and In intimate association
with officers and soldiers 10 have had
this deplOrable situation corrected. If il
had attained any such devastating pro
portions. If such is not the case. then
The army chaplains have been singularly
derelict in the performance Of their duties
and IN the exercise OF that influence
which, it is commonly understood. be-
longs to their calling. We should prefer
10 have the evidence Of more than this
one dying chaplain before engaging in
a wholesale condemnation Of the commits
stoned personnel Of the United States
army. As a matter Of fact. those who are
familiar with the army and navy know
that there is now less Of the "hell-rOar-
ing officers than in other years. Cursing
must have passed out of existence along
with the belaying-pin form Of naval dis
cipline. There are probably survivors Of
those days in the military and naval per
sonnel OF to-day, but it cannot be that
there are enough Of them 10 make any

JEFF Davis as a Political Boss.

From the Arkansas Gazette.
Napoleon Bonaparte was never more IN
satiable of power than is Jeff Davis With
Davis there is no halfway ground. He
must be boss He must run things, and
the whole State must be his. You can
see him at Little Rock during a session
Of the legislature, working for this bill
and against that one, and holding over
members Of the legislature the threat that
he will go into their districts and camp
on their trails" Now that a governor is
to be elected, he selects his man, and will
stump the State TO put him through And
the funny part Of the whole business is
that he will pull the wool over the eyes
of thousands of people when he talks Of
trusts and cotton gamblers, the oppres-
sion of the people, &c, while he is en-
gagged in this work of building up and
strengthening the JEFF Davis machine.

Two Democratic Points Of View

On Thursday last Judson Harmon. Of
Ohio. addressed the board Of trade of
Birmingham, Ala, on the rights of the
States. taking strong ground against any
further extension OF Federal powers. even
in the domain of interstate commerce
Yet Mr. Harmon gave no encouragement
to that new outbreak Of particularism
which has taken the form. especially In
Alabama, Of an attempt to deprive the
Federal courts of the jurisdiction exer-
cised by them in respect of State Iegisla-
tion affecting the rights Of citizens Of
other States. He reminded his audience
that the chief agency that enabled the
South 10 regain the right of self-govern-
ment in reconstruction times was the
Federal judiciary, which upheld the bar
riers of the Constitution against Federal
invasion Of the rights reserved to the
States" and warned against resentment
of appeals 10 tribunals to which the en-
forcement of. restraint on official action
is intrusted. Two excuses. said Mr.. Har-
mon, are advanced for Federal intrusion
into State affairs-one that the States do
too little and the other that they do too
much, Mr.. Harmon feared too much in
reference rather than too little. and he
urged on his hearers the duty Of main
tanning the due bounds of Federal and
State authority, saying:
The obligation is broader toward the State he
cause its authority has far wider range and You
relatively larger factors in it, while your in
huence is Teater In the inverse ratio Of the dis

made his Birmingham address on State
rights, Representative Wiley, Of Alabama.
offered plea in the House for Federal
aid 10 education-a plea that contrasts
somewhat strangely with the political
doctrine eXpounded in a Southern city by
Northern Democrat. For, while Mr..
Wiley insisted that his bill to appropriate
money out Of the Federal Treasury for
the support Of the common schools of
sach States as are unable by poverty of
resources TO maintain such schools did
not in any way tend to abr!dge the re-
served rights of the States or to meddle
with their domestic economy, he did ad-
NIT that the principle of the bin was con-
trary to old-hne Democratic doctrine. and
that it involved an extension Of Federal
power that could be justified only under
the general-welfare clause of the Consti-
tuition. But times have changed. and
with them the old dogmas Of the party of
strict construction. Whatever may have
been the Democratic position years ago.
said Mr.. Wiley, in effect that policy
has now entirely changed. The logic OF
events. the progress and prosperity of
the country our material growth and
national exaltation. the genius and civ
ilization Of the age in which we live. all
