The Man for the Job.
Washington Star.


President Diaz is an old man, but there
has been no evidence OF a loss OF grasp
or spirit by him. He Is the author of what
Mexico now is, and maybe is stil able TO
control the situation at home. Such at
least is the feeling OF the outside world as
respects the present turbulence in that
country. AS much soldier as statesman,
and a good deal of both, he Is the very
leader for an emergency where challenge
Of authority takes the form OF armed dis
order and conspiracy.

Telegraph COmpany's Liability.

The United States supreme court
does not think much of the contract
agreement" which telegraph companies
print on their message blanks, exempt
ing themselves from liability except
for the amount of toll in case of non
delivery. In fact, as a legal obligation
with binding effect in court, it does
not think anything of it. 1t has sus-
tanned judgment for $500 against
the Western Union in favor of a Kan
sas City firm that failed to receive a
message sent on one of these blanks
after 40 cents had been paid for its
transmission.
A great number Of persons will be
interested in this decision. 1t will set
up a welcome and useful precedent for
the future and perhaps 1t will compel
some telegraph companies to be more
attentive to the demands and rights of
their patrons.
The telegraph is a very necessary
element of business today and the pub
lie wants the best service 1t can posi-
bly, give. The rates are entirely suffi-
cient to warrant that kind. Sometimes
large results hang on the prompt de-
livery of a BRIEF telegraphic message.
That is reason enough why the COM
panies should not enjoy too great lati-
tude in making their own arbitrary
rules and contract agreements"
Many a man has questioned the legal
ity Of this very agreement, but some
how It has continued to have it's effect
in favor of the company. The lower
court, in which this case was tried,
held that this contract was invalid,
because it conflicted with the state
law regulating such liability and the
supreme court sustained the ruling
We may assume that this sets a prece-
dent that will hold good in other states

safeguard

1t is possible that congress will take up
the question OF an amendment OF existing
law, that enacted in 1904, with a view to
rendering eligible 10 duty at the option
of the War department retired army Of
ficers OF. say, less than 90 years Of age.
At present these assignments to duty
may only be made upon the application
Of retired officers and, in view OF the de-
mand for officers for detached duty, Il Is
considered that II would be well TO have
retired officers subject to recall when, I'm
the opinion OF military authorities this
is necessary and desirable. The number
OF officers on the retired list has been In
creased slightly in the past year, due,
largely, to the retirement OF many COM
paratlveIy young officers who became in
capacitated during recent years because
Of tropical service. Many OF these young
officers, as we'll as some OF the older ones,
are still able to perform certain classes of
duty, such as recruiting, staff duty not
with troops. military instructors at educa-
ional institutions, and duty with the
militia. Every effort has been made to Sc
cure willing and physically competent re-
tired officers for detached service, so that
some officers on the active list could be
relieved and returned to duty with their
proper organizations. Some OF these Of
fieers are not willing to perform active
duty unless they can select the duty and
the place or station to which they are TO
be sent, while others will not consent TO
the performance Of any active duty,
Furthermore, any retired officer assigned
to active duty must be relieved whenever
he withdraws his consent TO the perform
ance Of such duty. The law in It's present
shape, therefore. does not readily permit
the War department to make extensive
use OF the service Of retired officers. It
would seem reasonable that, in emer-
gencies, the government should be able 10
require temporarily the services, on fun
pay Of certain classes OF retired officers,
provided their health and physical oondi-
ton be such as to permit OF the efficient
performance Of the duty to which Il Is
proposed to assign them.

II has been assumed that Brigadier Gen

The War department will devote Its eff
lOtlHB exclusively OUTING tne coming Seb-
sion Of congress TO obtaining favorable
action upon the bill providing for addi-
tional army officers. As has been stated
in these columns this is the next subject
which is on the approved program Of
army legislation, originally adopted by
President Roosevelt and confirmed by the
present administration. It has been de-
cided not to depart from this schedule
which gives preference for this additional
officers bill, and next in order, for the bill
authorizing a general service corps. Those
who are interested in other projects will
be notified, in cases where they have not
been already. that the War department is
committed to this bill and that anything
which tends to divide congressional inter
est win be view by the president and
the secretary of war as an intereference
with the avowed purposes Of the admins
tration in the matter Of army iegisla ton.
Ii Is considered that this extra officers
bill is the most important subject before
congress so far as the military establish
ment is concerned, and that nothing else
should be presented to, much Less urged
upon the favorable consideration of, either
the house or senate. Even under such
conditions It may not be possible to enact
the measure. It all depends upon Mr..
Tafts preference for bills OF greater po-
litical Importance.
