William Jennings Bryan Is not appear

pressions credited 10 him be correct and
the editorial excerpts from his paper fair

and breadth Of view once so becoming in
him.
An instance in point is his unwarranted.
almost vicious. arraignment of Speaker
Cannon. Il Is true that in the heat Of the
national struggle last year-a contest
conducted on a deplorably low plane in
many phases-Mr. Cannon somewhat
rudely assailed Mr.. Bryan and subjected
himself to a counter attack quite justi-

A Check to Army Mileage.

The Comptroller or the Treasury has
wrought well and TO some beneficial pur-
pose in his refusal TO permit the War
Department TO draw from the army mile
age fund the authorized allowance 10
cover the travel performed by general
officer Of the army from remote place
in the Philippine Islands TO his home In
this country. The officer in question be-
fore retirement was in command Of a
military department. and by virtue OF
that position granted 70 himself an ex-
tended leave of absence. which exactly
correspOnded with the period remaining
to the date Of HIS retirement for sge.
He also obtained permission 20 visit the
Philippine Islands on leave OF absence.
and while there received the formal noti-
icatiOu OF his transfer from the active
list. Of which incident he fully knew.
since it was "A matter prescribed by law.
lie WAS ordered 10 his home IN this
country. as is the practice upon the re-
tirement Of an officer. He claimed mile
age for the long distance, and there has
been much discussion of the claim. The
Comptroller has now decided that the
officer under the law had no right 70
avail himself OF leave Of absence which
would take him beyond continental lin
its. and that the date OF the expiration
OF the leave should have found him at
his regular station. the headquarters of
the military department Of which he was
in command. The Comptroller has.
therefore, decided that the officer may
have his mileage for the distance be-
tween that station from which he was
so distantly separated and his home
and that is all
People outside the service have viewed
with something akin 20 awe the drafts
which are made upon the army mileage
fund. and those who are familiar with the
conditions OF official travel have often
remarked the lack OF control exercised
by the military authorities over the con-
ditions which require "a disbursement Of
that substantial allowance. In this lat
est instance Of excessive demand for
mileage. It IS important that the au-
restriction has been placed upon the con-
ditions which call for a disbursement OF
mileage. II is important that the au-
thorites place a limit upon the appllca-
lion OF this allowance
