FEWER ARMY POSTS.

Secretary StimSon shows admirable
politicaI courage in recommending the
abandonment of Supcrfluous army posts,
for he is sure to encounter the same
sort of opposition in Congress that has
been manifested to the closing of obso-
lete navy yards. The interest Of many
politicians in the army or navy Is
gauged by the liberality with which the
government distributes garTiSonS or
navy yards and stations where they vii.
minister most TO local prosperity. ii
NAV once have been assumed That
StrategiCal considerations alone ought To
govern in placing troops and maintain
ing naval bases. but a great many per
sons are now convinced that there are
always cases where local benefit should
Ovcrrule the abstract demands of the
military services. They have almost
come to believe that the army and navy
should he maintained primarily on ac-
count Of the posts and stations, not that
posts and stations should be created
or discontinued for the convenience Of
the army and navy.
Mr.. Stimson strikes as hard at useless
army garrisons as Secretary Meyer has
struck at antiquated navy yards. He
names sixteen posts which in his judG-
ment ought TO be dismantled at once,
and proof of his entire lack of local
bias is found in the fact that four or
theSe-Fort Jay. Madison Barracks, NJ
agara and OntarlO-lie within the bOun-
diaries Of the state of New York. Platts-
burg Barracks IS also put IN a supple
mcntafy list Of seven posts from which
garriSons ought to he withdrawn gradu-
ally, so that the Secretary's own state
will he called upon under the proposed
rearranCcmcnt TO surrender more posts
than are to he condemned In any other
state in the Union.
Such disintereStednesS ought to i'm
press Congress. for members of that
body are accustomed to see the abandon
ment of a navy yard, an army post, n
custom house or even pension agency
fought by everybody from the locality
affected as If it threatened a real calam-
ity 10 the nation The Secretary Is right
beyond question in pointing out that the
army needs to-day relatively few sta
tions, selected primarily because Of
their strategic importance. Transports
tion facilities, climate and accessibility
10 markets where army supplies are
bought are the only other considera-
tions which should govern in choosing
sites. Most Of our present posts are
Survivals from past era and have lit
tie military value. II would save the
government annually about Sj.500,no0
to consolidate the many scattered garri-
sons in this country. Yet that saving is
unfortunately just what will wrench the

an army post is Just as advantageous n

THE WATER STORAGE REPORT

The report of the legislative commit
tee which has been investigating water
storage is an interesting document, its
Z interest lying not only i'm what it says
+ but in what it OmitS to say on phases Of
The subject which it might naturally be
expected to discuss II accepts the state
ment of persons who control water power
sites that whatever Improvement may be
made by the state in storing waters at
the headwaters Of the streams will
merely add to the value of the riparian
rights held by them, profiting the state
nothing It's scheme of developing water
storage involves formal recognition in
ell cases of the riparian owners rights
To the increased stream flow. In short,
the committee agrees to and practically
advocates the virtual perpetuation of a
water power monopoly in the hands Of
the present riparian owners along the
important streams Of the state. Under
the committees plan they would be pro-
tected against state competition in the
marketing Of power or stored water for
fifty years. The visions of public pros
perity and individual happiness through
increased business and new and cheap
power which Governor Dix has enter
tanned seem far short of realization in
the light of this document.
No individual should be deprived un-
Justly of his property rights, whether
they be i'm land or i'm the water which
flows over his power dam. Neither
should the state be deprived Of its rights,
and the question which the committee
assumes as settled against the state has
not been finally so settled The report
might have been more valuable as a
guide TO the Legislature if some atten-
tiOn had been given to the states side
of the question. 1t might have been
well also for the committee to discuss
the development of water power along
streams within the forest preserve, where
there would have been no legal compli-
cation from the riparian rights Of private
owners. Such power could be sold by
the state in the form of water or of
electricity, and the possibility of cheap
power for the manufactures which in
spires Governor Dix would have been
nearer realization because Of state COM
petition. The problems relating to this
phase OF the situation are quite as inter
esting as those affecting the private
water power interests 10 which the COM
mittee devoted its attention.
II would have been desirable for the
committee to supplement its report with
an outline, at least. Of the legislation
which 1t considers necessary to carry ont
its views. so that discussion might be

WREATH ON M'KINLEY STATUE
Little Girl He Blessed Makes Carnatior
Offering Yearly.

Philadelphia, Jan. 29.-For the tenth time
I'm as many years, Miss Marie NJ. E. Heyl,
Of No. 22O3 oxford street, visited the Fed
eral Building to-day and placed spray Of
carnations on the bronze bust Of President
william Mckinley.
This tribute to the memory of the mar
tvred President was in consequence of a
nIedpe made to Mrs. Mckinley by Miss
Ueyl that she would never let one of his
birthdays go unremembered by her while
she lived.
The Young woman's devotion to the men,
ory of Mr.. Mckinley dates from the time
he made visit to Philadelphia while Presi-
dent. In 1901. President Mckinley stood
near the front railing of a reviewing stand
on the south plaza of City Hall, when his
eyes caught those of a little girl looking
up at him from the crowd. The President
reached over the railing, and placing his
hand reverently on the child's head. he
said, God bless you, dear little girl" This
child was Miss IIeyl, since grown to girl
hood and she has never forgotten the
kindly act of the martyred President and
the tender smiie that accompanied II.
