Common Sense in Army Discipline.

Of private soldiers those unreasonable
penalties for minor offenses that have

Of the military BY inviting many
worthy, energetic young fellows into
the army who have heretofore Stunned

trivial and inconsequential infractions
Of rules had 20 be met with a penalty,
which in civil life, would more nearly
lit a felony. And President Taft.

was secretary OF war, has worked
along the line Of sharp changes in this
system until now, with the aid OF Cen
eral Wood, he has brought them
about
The general amelloration OF the
soldiers life and lot will be the first
the personnel and efficiency Of the
army should be next. Hundreds Of
assertions have been due TO this
medieval system OF discipline and OF
late years. with 80 many opportunities
in other lines OF activity, the army
/ has had an easy time keeping well
manned II has found It necessary to
adopt business methods OF advertis-

sort Of soldiers. II has been brought
to see that It could not maintain its
ranks with worthy material unless It
did better by them. 1t has got to
treat them more nearly like civil life
treats them, as men, not manikins.
This change also tends to lessen the
vast disparity OF treatment between
private and officer.

radical Of the two bodies.
The senate bill first provides that
no candidate for the senate or house
shall spend IN getting elected more
than a sum equal 70 10 cents for each
voter In bic district or state. Then Il
provides that no senatorial candidate
shall spend total Of more than S1O.-

more than $4,000.

a. Senator Borah pointed out. It will
enable a candidate in New York 10
spend 100000. while holding a can
didate In Nevada down to $1,000.
Certainly there il no excuse for such
discrimination. Honesty is honesty

else and It should not be given the
appearance Of possessing such dlstinc-
tive market values. n It is wrong 70
spend an excessive sum to get elected

In the course Of debate on the bill,
attention was drawn to the fact that
Senator Stephenson Of Wisconsin
spent 100000 in his election. Yet
under this bill. a New York senator
might, II he chose, spend 5000, 900.
But II the maximums OF $4,000 and
$4,000 are to obtain, It still would
seem that unless a man has or can
command money, he has little chance
OF going 10 congress in this day and
age. In other words, the office is not
running the man TO death in seeking
him.

To people as far In the interior as

officers at New York have engaged as
a result Of the cholera scare, can have
little meaning, and they will be lit
tie slow to appreciate the merits Of

II cholera is as general along the
Mediterranean coast as 1t Is reported.
thus endangering immigrants now
landing at New York, It behooves our
port officers to exert all due diligence
to protect this country against the
landing OF a single plague victim, or,
II any must land, then against the
spread of the disease. And that,
doubtless, can be done II the system
OF inspection and handling required
by the government is carried out.
One OF the officers involved in the
controversy raises great cry of
alarm for this entire country. People
are scarcely prepared to accredit that.
Even IL many of those landing at
New York were affected with the
cholera, they would respond slowly to
such an alarm. II, as Is maintained,
this malady is communicated only by
actual contact" then, surely, we
should be able to keep 1t in check
through the ordinary agencies.
