tice General Ainsworth is about as
often the head of the army as Is the
chief of staff.
Somehow or other, past heads of the
War Department have not had the
nerve to go up against this situation
and issue the only order that would
stop it, and should Secretary Stimson
really do it, as is now rumored he will
in the very near future, it will be
worth while waiting to see what hap
pens. Unquestionably, the sort of
armed truce existing between the two
officers at the top is hurtful to the
service-but recognizing the fact that
both are about equally divided in the
matter of friends in the service, il
will take a bold hand to sign the
order placing one or the other in un.
questioned supremacy.

regretted that the appeal to publicity was

most dramatic instances Of disappearance

A Mysterious Disappearance

over six weeks ago the daughter of a
wealthy New York man, apparently en-
tirely happy In her home, disappeared.
She had gone out on an ordinary shopping
errand, with every intention. as far as
could be seen, Of returning Immediately.
Arrangements had been made for an i'm
portant social function at which she was
to preside a few days later. Her disap-
pearance naturally gave her parents a
serious shock and every effort short of
publicity was made to find her. Squads Of
detectives were engaged and the services
of the police were enlisted. Not a single
clue was discovered to her whereabouts
or her fate. and after weeks had passed
her parents reluctantly were persuaded
10 enlist the assistance Of the newspapers
An announcement OF the young woman s
disappearance was made and portraits of
her were furnished freely. The story Of
her vanishing has made deep sensation.
and already. within q few hours, a vir-
tually worldwide hunt for her has been
instituted. AS was to have been expected.
reports OF her appearance at widely sep
arated places have been made to the
family and so-called clues to solve the
mystery have been sent to the police. OBJ

may be expressed about the ability of the

by tbs idea that their favorite possessed
in his Office an advantage over his rival.
Washington. they thought, should prove
a better point for conducting a national
campaign than Columbus. Mr.. Reed
would be able to see twenty men to Mr..
McKinley's one. He would be right at
the center of things. and in touch with
leading republicans from all tho states.
This calculation failed. From the gov
errors chair at Columbus Mr.. Mckinley
bested his rival. With q Wide acquaint-
ance with his party's leaders derived
from a long service in Congress, ne map
ped his campaign from way station, SO
to say, and. through lieutenants well
chosen. beat Mr.. Reed to large ma
jority Of the delegates to the nominating
convention. He had his fight won be-
fore the convention assembled. The Office
of Speaker had yielded Mr.. Reed nothing
in the contest.
At the beginning of next December
sixteen years after 1S95-the two most
prominent democratic candidates for the
presidency are likely to be Champ Clark
and Judson Harmon. The former will be
Speaker of the House as the result OF a
landslide growing out of the Payne law.
The latter will be serving as Governor
of Ohio as the result largely Of first
term success in the office.
Will Mr.. Clark enjoy any advantage
by reason Of his Office and location? He
will meet great many democratic lead
ers, and be able to hold word with
them about things in general. Or will
Mr.. Harmon be able to show that even
way station in the hands of a good
politician can be made to yield large re-
turns in the nature of delegates? Can
he do what Mr.. Mckinley did with ap-
parent ease in somewhat similar circum-
stances?
Both Mr.. Clark and Mr.. Harmon know
what they want and how to go after It,,
and while both are likely to give first
attention to the business In hand-in the
one case the speakership coming first,
and in the other the governorship-neither
will close his eyes at any time to the
larger quest.

Points of Order Against the District.

a favorite pastime of the members Of
the House Of Representatives when the
District bill is under consideration Is to
make points of order against items
technically Of the general legislation
nature, which are prohibited by the rules
which govern the enactment of the money
measures. Unusually numerous opportuni-
ties are afforded by the District budget
for this form Of exercise in parliamentary
precision, for the reason that that bill
is by the nature Of things necessarily
utilized frequently as a vehicle for OBJ
tanning general enactments. This condi-
ton of affairs is due to the fact that the
District committee of the House is rarely
able to obtain time for the consideration
Of its bills and thus the calendar of local
measures is continually in state of con-
gestion. Cooperation between the Dis
trict and appropriations committees Is
occasionally effected to the end of secur-
ing the inclusion in the District appro-
priation bill of matters Of strictly legis-
lative character. Again, the appro Dria-
lions committee. itself recognizing the
need of immediate action without waiting
for the slow and uncertain process of
District day. consideration, on its own
initiative undertakes to secure the initial
authorization which under the rules is
essential before appropriations can be
made.
Points OF order against the District bill
are usually made in no spirit Of parlia-
mentary exactness. They are merely
means of defeating specific propositions.
Many an item which on it's own merits
would carry through the House has been
negatived by this simple process of objec-
ton The District has perhaps been saved
some undesirable legislation. but in the
main it has been the loser through the
making and sustaining Of points of order
against entirely meritorious projects, the
object of which has been to advance the
municipal progress and to give the Dis
trict a better administrative machine.
There would be no reason whatever to
object to strict construction Of the
rules in the case Of the District bill if
full opportunity were afforded the District
to obtain consideration for its strictly
legislative measures. II the House, for
an instance. would grant a District day"
twice month each session, there would
be no reason for seeking the irregular
channel of the appropriation bill to pass
items OF general legislation.
