In connection with the bill now before
congress, which provides for promotion in
the army by elimination, an officer points
out in the New York Evening Post that Al
per cent Of all the sentences of dismissal
imposed by courts-martiaI in the last ten
years were by the president.
He says:
Thirty officers who were found to be
unfit for the service by army courts were
restored to duty by an exercise Of executive
power. Doubtless, in all Of these cases Of
olemeney, reasons OF some sort were found
for the action taken. but is it likely thai
any new system Of elimination will work
less injustice on the whole than tho army
courts have worked by their sentences OF
dismissal in the last ten yearsP"
II following table shows the number OF
army officers sentenced to be dismissed by
sentence Of general court-martiaI, also the
number and percentage Of such cases com
muted by the president to a lighter punish
ment, which had the effect of retaining
these men in the service:

Army elimination continues to be a topic
Of animated discussion throughout the SER
vice. An important contribution on this
subject has been derived by the secretary
Of war from the general staff and 1t is
possible hat the administration will see its
way clear to present a substitute for the
scheme which make elimination q factor
in facilitating promotion. The sentiment
among army officers is one of vigorous Cd
position to elimination and a number OF
propositions ave come from various sources
to show the disadvantage to the govern
ment of a process which forcibly transfers
officers from the active list while they
still possess physical and professional at
tributes of usefulness. It is safe to say,
without any exaggeration of the conditions,
that elimination would produce a democrat
ization of the personnel beyond almost any
other method Of helping promotion. This
apprehension has been promptly and con-
vincingly communicated to congress and II
is without influence upon the secretary Of
war and the president. 1t is appreciated that
certain improved conditions are desirable,
but It is also realized tina congress will be
governed in any action It may take by the
considerations of economy and will not
legislate in a direction which may be det-
rimental to many officers and extrav-
aBant in the increase Of the retired list
by transfers thereto Of officers who may
be regarded as still in their prime. 1t is
along these lines, It is understood, that
the general staff protest, IL It may be
called such, has addressed itself against
elimination.

Considerable attention has been directed
to the fact that Colonel George f. Cooke,
U. S. A, recently advanced to that
grade, was not retired as the lieu
tenant colonel OF the Twenty-second in
fantry. He was ordered for retirement
with the latter rank, but the order was re-
voked and his retirement was deferred in
anticipation Of his promotion. which has
now taken place. 1t is understood that in
fluences were brought to bear upon the
War department to have this officers re-
tirement postponed until he was advance
IN grade. In the meantime, he is not to be
relieved from the stoppage Of pay ordered
by the secretery of war. The sum in
volved is $4,000, an unusual amount in the
case OF any army officer. The sum is that
represented by the loss to the government
through theft committed by an enlisted
man in Alaska 1t was held by a board
that Colonel Cooke should be required to
make good the loss, unless the soldier
could be apprehended and the amount re-
stored, a combination Of circumstances
which is not likely to occur, although the
War department offered a special reward
Of $1,000 for the capture Of the culprit. The
reimbursement to the government on the
part Of Colonel Cooke will be in liberal
monthly installments.

Considerable interest attaches to the ac-
ton OF the municipal authorities in Wash
ington in levying taxes upon army officers
for personal property. The policy in this
matter appears to be to tax these officers,
regardless of the period OF duty here.
While there might be some justification
for taxing an officer for the support Of
the community in the case Of one who IS
retired and makes Washington his perma-
nent place Of abode, or even in the case Of
an officer who Is destined to stay here
for a four-year tour OF duty, there appears
very good reason why exception should be
made in behalf Of those officers, for in
stance. who are here attending the Army
Wa college and who may be in the city
for only a few months. No distinction,
however, is contemplated by the municipal
officials whose method Of determining
values, It might pertinently be added, have
been the occasion OF much complaint. one
officer has raised the point that his horse,
which is a part Of his military equipment
by service requirement. has been ~unjustly
taxed.

emigration, why not make the effort
to bring, say one hundred farmers
and their families to be settled on
forty't0 eighty acres Of land in our
county, according to the ability and
working force of the farmer; these

igration in Che true sense of the
word, and not speculation, They
would come with the purpose of
,laaking a home and becoming per-
manent citizens, and not with the
purpose Of buying cheap ard selling

nifty.

ers and their families be worth to
