The Army Bill.

The shape i'm which the army appropria-
tion bill has passed Congress is deplor-
able and il the bill escapes veto and he
comes Law the effect may he far reaching.
In the opin on Of many experienced men.
tho whole military service will he crippled,
Both ut home here and in our newly ac-
uuircd possessions confusion will follow,
and an order of things which has worked
We'll viii give place 10 a scheme believed
in some quarters 10 he socketed in per-
sonaI quarrels between aspiring soldiers
and between politicians working under
the inspiration of the Contending mill
tary factions
The proposition proper was simple. and
should have been strictly adhered to-
National interests require that the army
he well supported. We all want that We
all profit by that Pride in both the army
and the navy is general. 1t is found in
both parties Politics has no place in it,
and selfish personal ends should never be
permitted to have a place.
What the occasion called for, therefore,
was a routine supply bill fashioned on
requirements ascertaned after careful in
VeStsaton by those charged with that
duty. That and nothing more connected
with il. But other issues were forced
in, and measure has been passed carry
ing questions of a personal character in
yoiving no end OF bitter gossip relating
TO both distinguished soldiers and dis
tnSuished civilians.
This is unfair 10 both the President and
10 the country. III seeks TO force his
hand on matters 10 which he should have
had chance 10 give direct attention.
They should have been presented to him
on their own merit or lack of it. But,
the business has been handled he is
called upon either to approve them, or.
disappearing. cause the whole supply for
the army 10 fail.
Surely the record OF Congress, so far
made at this session, as respects either
the army or the navy is not such as TO
inspire admiration. Gripping the one
branch of the national defense under per-
sonal influences. and skimping the other
under political influences, cannot be justi-
fied in any national view of what in both
cases was. and is. demanded.

Chairman Mack and the Future.

Friends Of Norman +. Mack hope TO see
him succeed himself in the Office he now
holds. and manage the campaign of the
Baltimore nominee. The matter will rest
with the nominee. who. according 10 Gus
tom. will select Ais campaign manager.
MIR Mack is capable and Industrious
politician, controls an influential news
paper possesses large means ard lives in
a state essential 10 democratic success.
He is popular in both political and bust
ness circles, and rated as good collector
Of campaign funds.
ii is true, however. that when he was
chosen four years ago to manage Mr..
Bryan's campaign, the choice was die
tated ny considerations that did not take
Mr. Mack personally into account so
much as the necessity of recognizing New
York in the equation. Ii had been Mr..
Bryan's desire TO have New York furnish
the candidate for Vice President. That
could not be gratified because of the I'M
Willingness of any New York democrat of
the requisite size TO consider the PROPOSE
ton. So that when the vice presidency
went to Indiana, Mr.. Bryan, wishing to
compliment New York for effect in the

The Primary Frauds. "

1T is difficult to reconcile the result
of many of the contests brought before
the republican national committee at
Chicago with the terrific charges of
fraud made at the time of or soon
after the primaries. One statement is
sued from oyster Bay was as follows:
ON Kentucky. in Indiana. in New
York and elsewhere Mr. Taft knows
well that the delegates elected for him
represent bare-faced fraud. He stands
guilty of connivance and conformation
of these frauds-stands guilty of ap-
proving and encoura ging fraud. He
deprives all people of their rights TO
express their wish as to who shall be
nominated. In all these primaries |
have stood for absolute honesty and
fair play. Mr. Taft has stood for
crooked Misrepresentation of the will
of the people
In nearly all the contests decided in
favor of the Taft delegates who. ac-
cording to Mr. Roosevelt were fraudu-
lently chosen. the national committee
has been unanimous. the Roosevelt
men on that committee voting for the
seating of the Taft delegates If ever
political theft was committed in
furtherance of the denomination of
President Taft ii was. according to
Mr.. Roosevelt. in the case of the four
delegates at large from Indiana yet
the Roosevelt members of the national
committee voted to seat them.
The inference is that the early cry
of fraud was ill-considered 1t is
hardly believable that Mr.. Roosevelts
friends on the national committee have
been recreant to his interests and are
voting in favor of fraudulently chosen
delegates whose purpose is to bring
about so far as is in their power the
denomination of President Taft.

campaign. asked for recommendations for
a manager. and picked Mr.. Mack.
How Mr.. Mack stands with the men
contesting for the Baltimore nomination
is not stated He probably knows them
all. and they know how he carried his re-
sponshilities in 1905. He did not pilot
Mr. Bryan TO success. but the opinion pre-
walls that nobody could have done so.
Fate with compelling finger. was pointing
the other way
New York is still essential to demo-
cratic success and Mr.. Mack is still a
New Yorker But of the men under dis
cussion for the Baltimore nomination
only Gov Wilson lives rear the state.
Mr.. Clark s campaign has been conducted
under western and southern auspices. Mr..
Underwoods under southern auspices
and Gov Harmons by middle state men,
If ono of those three men wins at Balti-
more. New York may not loom large IN
tho matter of the campaign manager.
What Mr.. Bryan a dark horse NOM
ince would do is of course only conjec-
tural He might pick Mr. Mack again
He picked Senator Jones of Arkansas
twice. There were democrats who or
posed Mr.. Jones for chairman in 1900. on
the score that he had lost the battle OF
1896. and that the party was entitled to
new tactics But Mr. BRYAN decided
otherwise. lie knew how faithful Mr.
Jones had been under trying circunl-
stances. and that no move of his had con-
trihuted to the party's defeat And the
decision did credit TO both Mr. Bryan's
judgment and his sense of gratitude. 1t
may be. therefore. that Mr.. Mack's for
tunes in Baltimore are bracketed with

"Rump" Convention.

POLITICAL writer's in the press are
making frequent allusion to the posi-
bility that the Roosevelt delegates at
Chicago may withdraw from the re-
publican national convention and or
Sanize a "rump convention The in
tent of these political writers is sin
cere. but suspicion comes to careful
readers that their memory of history
is twisted. No doubt they have in mind
the rump" of English history-the
rump parliament of 164S. Their appli-
cation of rump is reversed. The "rump'
was not a part of the long parliament
which withdrew: it was the part which
remained. 1t was the rump which CON
tinued in session. 1t was the sitting
part of the parliament.
In a footnote in Meals History of the
Puritans is written that This name
tthe rump) was first given to them by
Walker. the author of the History of
Independency. by way of derision in
allusion to a fowl all devoured but
the rump.'
Col. Pride was in large measure di-
rectly responsible for the "rump"
Backed by troops. he took his station
near the door leading to the house of
commons. having VITA him list of
the members he was commissioned to
arrest. About 100 were arrested or re-
fused entrance. This was Prices
Purge. The commons was purged of
all save the independent faction of the
parliamentary party-the uncompro-
missing anti-Stuart wing. The part per-
mitted to retain seats was afterward
to be known the "rump parliament"
Members of the "rump' were not bolt
ers. They got and held possession
If any boilers withdraw from the
Chicago convention and organize an
other it would be inaccurate to call it
a rump convention.

The Pain of Defeat.

From the New York Times.
The amazing feature of the situation is
the calmness of the people. They must
know that their liberties are in danger.
At Oyster Bay the colonel emits loud
cries of pain and rage. The course pur-
sued by the national committee in exclud-
ing the Roosevelt contestants that Me
Harg has been at such pains to provide
comes dangerously near being treason
if in an aldermanic fight election officers
did these things they would be sent to
the penitentiary.' Mr. Heney of San
Francisco, who IS on the ground. declares
that in thirtythree years of his expert
ence with the toughest politicians in the
world in San Francisco he has never
seen anything like it. Il blush with
shame" he says A state of things that
can bring a blush to that experienced
cheek must be pretty bad

Same Here.
From the Baltimore American.

With the arrival of the excursion sea-
son and the trips of the various boats
TO the different bay ard river resorts.
the people of this city have opened to
them day trips on the water that are
full of inauguration for tired huma nifty.
The wide selection afforded by the vari-
Gus excursion boats, the excellent recre-
alton at the places to which they go.
the field of varying interest in the trips
down the bay that tane in steamboat
landings, the range and diversity of in
cident and the romantic features of the
moonlight on the water, are all assets
of which Baltimoreans have never been
slow to take advantage.

Campaign Calculation.

You take a bunch of delegates
And stand them in a row;
You multiply them by debates
AS far as you can go.
You add them up as on they come,
And carefully proceed
To put down underneath the sum
The answer that You need.
TIE make your efforts seem exact
You scan the list of names,
And with great industry subtract
From other peoples claims.
You figure on some letters old
OF dim and dusty state.
Or ancient ballots you unfold
And bring them down to date
You figure on platform new,
With planks all neatly ranged
You figure in a check book, too
Unless the times have changed
You figure till YOUR brain gives out,
And then you throw away
Your old arithmetic and shout,
We've got EN- licked. HoorAy."
