PLAIN SPEAKING.

Much has been said and written of late about the depletion of both the army and navy, and about the difficult ty of getting recruits for either. but many fail to see, or to admit. that the President himself is largely respon- sible for the dissatisfaction existing in both branches of the service. The Brownson affair has been the cause of much hard feeling towards the admin istration and Roosevelt. For example The Army and Navy Register. which can hardly be called a partisan pub lication, speaks of the Presidents let ter about Admiral Brownson as brutal" and adds: "As much, if not more. could have been accomplished for all purposes of discipline by less strident. less hystericaI and less de- famotory references to an individual. It is this sort of thing which has con- tributed to Encouragement of the per- sonnel of both the army and navy"
 This is something more than a hint at the Presidents lack of knowledge, or his utter disregard of the pro- prieties and of common fairness and justice in the treatment of his subor- dinates, or those whom he looks on as such. But much more severe and pointed are the remarks of Rev. Cyrus Townsend Brady, a man who may be quoted without subjecting one to the charge of prejudice against the head of the government. President Roose- velt," he writes, has seen fit in most formal. definite manner to pass cen sure upon a veteran officer of the navy, who entered the service of his country when the President was a baby, whose long and useful career has been illumined by many conspicuous acts of daring. courage. skill and ad- dress. and who has more than once upheld. under most difficult condi- tions. the honor of the American flag. in a way which reflects to the high est credit not only upon the officer

 chairmsn Tawney, of the Appropriatiens Cry one must be who gives the matter moments consideration. by the enormous American military and naval policy.

Truth From Judge Harmon.

Washington Post ...A.u
 Words of truth and soberness were spoken by the Hon. Judson Harmon at Birmingham on Thursday. when ne ao- dressed the board of trade of that re- rnarkable city. If the people Of Ala bama take to heart the suggeetlons ot perception of the respective rights ana powers of the States and the United States, and & corresponding amelloFe- ton of the policy toward the rallroaas in the state. Judge Harmon pointed out that Federal aggression against States rights is based upon the same principle of reconstruction times. re cofnpliInented his hearers by telling cIear-eved to be misled by any pro- posal, even though made tempting by the promise of present convenience or advantaEe, to let Federal authority again displace that of of the ISSnss, state, |. equally important, and Judge Harmon's remarks, read between the lines, con stitute a friendly warning to Alepana enthusiasts that in their praiseworthy determination to stand up for the rights of their state they are likely to oVerstep the bounds. The pretexi for proposed usurpation Of power oy the Federal government, at the ex' pense of the States, was that it would hiring about the commercial unity oi the States. But that is no reason at ail." said Judge Harmon, .becauss such commercial unity was the very object in view In framing the clause which Elves to Congress the exclusive power to regulate commerce amons the States; and as the clause accom-. plishes the purpose intended. why seek to twist 1t out of shape by forced con struction?" Here is a suggestive re- hinder to the Alabama railroad-quel' lers that the Interstate Commerce Com, merce clause Is comprehensive anc vital, with all of it's powers lodged in Congress. ..
 Judge Harmon's closing paragraph il worth the attention of evry American In whatevr State residing:
 Tt is only when each goVernmen maintains it's own authority and re spects the authority of the other. anC the three departments of each attenc to their own respective duties wtthou meddling with the duties of the others that the people may go their seVera ways in business and industry with out risk to their political inheritance which outvalues all gain.
 The man who framed that sentence is becoming better known to his coun trymen as a statesman, well qualtlet to serve in the position where he coul' make the words effective. It would not be a marvellous thing If Judsol Harmon should be designated by Demo crats, North and South, as their nomi nee for the Presidency, on a platform announcing such time-honored ant time -defying truths as the one he ut tered at Birmingham.

 himself, but upon the service of which he is one of the brightest opponents and upon the country of which he has been one of the most useful citizens.
 Tt is shame. a crying shame which every man of honor and every man who values the principle of authority, resting upon. and enforcing law, should resent. that veteran officer at the close of Ions, highly honorable and greatly distinguished career. should be at the mercy of an irresponsible occu- pant of the white House."
 All this is what may properly be designated as plain speaking. and none of it is from men who may be regarded as enemies or unfair critics of President Roosevelt. Without go- ing Into the merits of this Brownson affair, which is now somewhat out of date. it may suffice to say that the Presidents course in that affair was not only unfair and unjust. but was positively discreditabie. It Is exceed ingly unfortunate for the country that the man who is at the head of the government and who above all men should set an example of cool and im- partial judgment should be so donli- mated by seif-conceit and prejudice that 1t seems impossible for him to either act or think dispassionateiy on public affairs. From his point of view, any official or public man who dis agrees with him or differs from him must necessarily be lar or an un- desirable citizen and he never hesi- tates to denounce them in the most vigorous terms. The specimens of criticism which we have. quoted are mild when compared with some we have seen. but we refer to them be- cause they are not uttered by partisan enemies of the administration.
 The evil and iiscouraging effects of unfairness and injustice towards the army and navy must be apparent. The Philadelphia Record declares that if Roosevelt could have his own way sin a few years he would have the whole public service. civil and mili- tary, made up of his personal favorites." :" If that is an unfair assumption where. in is it so7 Favoritism Is dominat- ing feature of his composition on the one hand and prejudice on the other. and either must have a deieterious effect on the public service. Why should an intelligent and self-respect- ing young man desire to enlist in a service which is controlled by such a man as Roosevelt? And why should man desire to be an officer in either branch. or why should an officer strive for promotion if he has no assurance of fair play7 It is not necessary to be partisan to enable one to see plenty to condemn in President Roose- welt.
