Princeton's New President.

In electing Dr. John c. Hibben presi-
dent of Princeton University the trus-
tees of that institution have solved a
perpIexing question in a happily salts
factory way. A popular and learned
son of the university, who is specially
fitted for the high position and will FIJI
it with honor to the great seat Of learn
ing and credit to himself, has been
chosen to guide the destiny of tise in
stitution during the period which may
be allotted to him.
Fortunately, the new president pos
sesses many of the personal traits and
the genius OF leadership which char
acterized Woodrow Wilson, who laid
down the reigns OF government at
Princeton to take up the more troubled,
il not greater. responsibilities of ruling
a State and possibly at some later time
the nation DR.. Hibben is compara-
lively young man, endowed with, a
large measure of learning. stepped in
the traditions and glory OF Princeton.
popular with the student body, and
clothed in the confidence and esteem of
the graduates of the university. 1t has
seemed strange TO many that the COM
mittee of the trustees found it neces-
sary to seek 4 successor to DR.. Wilson
elsewhere.
DR.. Hibben will enter upon his new
duties under the happicst possible aus
Pices, and TO the large and growing
alumni of Princeton in Washington his
election comes as most delightful So
luton of problem that has confronted
the governing power at the university
for twelvemonth, since DR.. Wilson
turned aside from the serene walks of
the scholar to the turmoil and excite
ment of the political arena.

Pensions Inadequate

Sympathy, cordial and unstinted, is
accorded the Policemen's Association of
the District in its efforts to secrrfc ade-
quate pensions for men disabled in the
line of duty or to their families in case
of death in the public service That a
pension equal to the pay of the officer
injured or killed for one year and ade-
quate payments after is just to these
men is self-evident Any argument
framed in opposition to such view is
too trivial and inhuman to be consid-
cred with patience
Policemen and fremen are placed in
peculiarly trying position. Their
service is extra hazardous, in that they
are exposed to danger at all times and
on special occasions must take their
lives in their hands to the same extent
that the soldier does in battle. No
shirking is allowed, and by the true
policeman and fireman none is ever at
tempted. They go to duty, often to per-
sonal injury and many times to death,
with only the thought of service they
are sworn to give in their minds They
deserve good pay and pensions of equal
grade in case of injury or DEATH
The Washington Herald, in the fight
it has waged for many months in favor
of the policemen and firemen, bas re-
peatedly pointed out the miserably in
adequete amounts paid in so-called pen
sions to these public servants in the
District of Columbia. The conditions
which have inspired the fight, the efforts
of good citizens, and the policemen and
hremen themselves. are a disgrace to
the city. to Congress, and the nation.
There is no use in mincing words in
discussing subject like this. Congress
can offer no excuse for this lack Of
common justice to the policemen and
hrenen Of the District which will stand

A alarins Army Defect.

A local paper makes undue mystery
out of the compilation of some statistics
at the War Department, it being stated
that "army officers on duty in the Dis
trict of Columbia for more than four
years are more or less alarmed at the
action of Mai. Gen. Leonard Wood,
Chief of Staff, in directing the prepa-
ration of statement showing the pc
riod of continuous service here of every
army officer on duty in this CITY," The
same paper names a number of more OF
less prominent staff officers who have
been on duty in Washington for more
than four years, and who are likely to
be separated from "the society and bene-
fits of the National Capital" with the
implication that their departure will be
to their dismay and deprivation. This
is so far from being the actual state of
affairs that the truth should be candidly
set forth.
In the first place, Gen. Wood has
nothing to do with the origin of this
statement, which is required of the War
Department by means of resolution
adopted by the United States Senate at
the instance of Senator Du Pont, of
Delaware, chairman of the Senate Mill
tary Committee who is determined to
find out not how many staff officers
have been on duty in Washington for
more than four years, but-which is of
vastly greater Importance in every way
what officers of the line have been
separated from their organizations on
what is known as detached duty" for
periods in excess of the regular four
year tour of such service
There are altogether too many Off
GERS of the line who have been absent
from their line commands for protract-
ed periods, and Mr.. Du Pont desires to
know to what extent favoritism and
other forms of influence have operated
to maintain a positively dcmoralizing
situation. The state of affairs is not a
recent discovery; it has been a chronic
condition, against which commanding
officers have proclaimed with unavail-
ing vigor. 1t is time that something
be done to place a restriction on what
is known in the military establishment
as "absenteeism," and Mr.. Du Points
resolution seeking information as TO in
dividual cases is a step toward that
beneficial end in army administration.
By means of the Du Pont resolution,
the Senate will come to a knowledge
of what officers have been unduly alb
sent from their line commands, the du-
ration Of such absence, the character of
the duty upon which employed, and the
time spent with their respective or
gsniZations.
1t IS understood that the information
will be an Illuminating exposition of a
serious defect in the system of detached
duty. Those army officers who have
been favored in this way beyond their
associates may well be alarmed" but
they are line officers and not staff Off
GERS, and they are not those merely on
duty in Washington, although there are
some striking examples among the lat
ter of long absence on detached service.
