Fort Myer and Brownsville.

For the sake of justice II Is to be hoped
that no disposition will prevail at For,
Myer or at the War Department to pur-
sue the precedent established In the
Brownsville case in the treatment of the
soldiers who left their barracks the other
night and organized a lynching party.
The fact that through the pluck and sa-
gacity Of the Jailer the soldiers were
thvarted of their purpose to take the
life Of the prisoner accused of assaulting
ore Of their comrades a few days earlier
does not lessen the similarity between
this affair and the tragedy In Texas sew
cral years ago. when a loss of life re-
suited from a raid officially declared to
he conducted by members Of the oath In
fantry In the Brownsville case not only
was the guilt OF the soldiers assumed
without proof that would have stood
scrutiny in a civil court, but the MEM
bers Of the battalion to which the sup
posed offenders belonged were without
exception summarily discharged without
trial and without honor. though 1t was
positively known that only a small per-
centage of the battalion. If any. had taken
Fart in the alleged raid. The innocent
in that case were punished for sup
posed conspiracy Of silence. a silence
which might have been perfectly justified
on the ground of total ignorance of the
facts.
Luckily precedents are not always fol-
lowed, else this would be a sorry world
indeed The civil courts ignore depart
rres from the laws in the name OF JUS
tice. and in the main equity prevails. A
military procedure should be governed
h., air he iuof ion
now proceeding at Fort Myer should be
thorough and relentless. The men who
engaged in the attempt to lynch the pris-
oner Of the county, who was safely held
in the hands Of the civil authorities and
whose punishment if guilty might be ex-
pected In the course of events, deserve
the severest punishment IL identified.
They have disgraced their uniform and
fiouted the very principles Of law and
government which they are sworn and
for which they are enlisted to safeguard
and enforce. They, standing for order
and authority. have become potential vio-
lators of the law. and had it not been
for one mans wit and courage they
would have committed an outrage bring
ing discredit upon the government of the
United States.
but these men must De l0entined, ana
by direct means. There must be no
wholesale dismissals if through clannish-
ness and q mistaken conception of COM
radeship their fellows refuse to assist in
their discovery. 1t must not be assumed
ia such event that the men who fail to
give information are deliberately conceal
ing the truth. There must be no assump-
tion that q conspiracy Of silence exists to
shield q few guilty ones. Grave and de-
serving of the seyerest punishment as is
the offehse of these raiders who sought
the life of a prisoner Of the law, far more
serious would be the punishment Of their
fellows for a failure to disclose their
identity. after the fashion set il the
Brownsville case.

Appraisements and Performances.

1t must surprise the younger class of
newspaper readers to learn that Mr..
Clevelands choice for Chief Justice of
the Supreme Court was vigorously crit
icised when announced. The nomination
hung fire for several months in the Sem
ate, and among its opponents were some
Of the ablest members of that body. One
of the objections offered was that Mr..
Fuller, as he then was. did not measure
up to the office. His success at the
Chicago bar was conceded, but that, it
was held. was no assurance that there
was material In him for the making Of a
great member Of the highest court in the
land.
This judgment was soon disproved, and
service of twenty-five years in the
office of Chief Justice has written a
high chapter in the history of the court.
Judge Fuller demonstrated every quality
necessary for his work-knowledge of
the law, force and clearness in the state
ment of an opinion, and industry, dig
nifty and courage. His appointment
stands completely justified in every par
ticular.
Another appointment to that bench
which was much criticised when made
has since been warmly applauded by the
country. Thirty odd years ago John NJ
Harlan was Kentucky lawyer of ex-
cellent reputation at the home bar, but
scarcely known to the country at large
He was an orator of marked power and
a politician of local note. When Mr.
Hayes named him for the Supreme Court,
therefore. objection took the form of an
assertion that in the orator and politician
there was not the making of an efficient
Today Judge Harlan ranks with the
ablest of the men who have adorned
that great tribunal. His Interpretation
Of the law is praised for it's grasp Of
fundamentals and breadth Of view, as
also for its fairness. He has served for
thirty-three years, and is still in the
vigor Of his mental powers.
There Is instruction as we'll as surprise
in these stories. They show the re-
sources upon which as a people we have
to draw in the matter of public servants
The unknown or little known man of
today becomes with opportunity one Of
the best known of men tomorrow. De-
velopment is rapid. 1t is not safe to
say Of any man of good capacity and
standing, with success to his credit, that
he does not measure up to the require
ments of high station-even the highest.
Instances are numerous where uncom-
sometimes for one reason and sometimes
for another, have been most thoroughly
discredited by the event.

of all beholders, has thus far had no mis-
haps of any serious moment.
Probably each accident to the airplanes
will teach its lesson showing something
to be avoided or something to be done.
These lives that are being sacrificed VIII
not have been given in vain IL through
their loss will come q more complete
mastery Of the air. 1t is obvious that IN
this departure from normal processes OF
transportation there can be no absolute
safety If progress is to be scored. Only
those who greatly dare will lead the way,
and in the days to come the names OF
those who have given their lives in the
demonstration of mans ability to rise
above the surface of the ground and TO
use the element which has hitherto been
regarded as unconquerable will be enroll
ed with honor.
