a number OF minor changes i'll the

dollar In this connection it can be

moisture as it i. this spring. Many

the result OF the heavy winds last

ARMY OFFICERS
WORRIED over
THE RAY CASE

A ruling Of the supreme court OF
the District OF Columbia, in the case
of Major Beecher B. Ray, has set the
army by the ears. 1t is recognized by
all officers that the failure OF the
president TO promote Major Ray to
the grade of Northumberland when
his vacancy occurred is revolutionary,
and irrespective OF personal opinion
as to the merits Of the case, army
men are nonpfussed by the possible
complications which come up.
If the Ray case is taken as a test,
officers may be passed over again. and
again for promotion. IL their advance
ment does not coincide with the wish.
es of the CHIEF executive,
The Army and Navy Journal of Al.
gust 9 says:
The application of Major Beecher
B. Ray, Q. NJ. Corps, u. s, A.. for an
injunction to prevent Secretary CARR
son from promoting another officer
over his head was denied Aug. 6, 1913,
BY the Supreme Court of the District
OF Columbia. In ruling Justice Barn.
ard said:
"If the court IN this case should
grant an Injunction as prayed it could
not take away from the President the
right to nominate the plaintiff, OF
anyone else, to the Office to which
the plaintiff thinks he is entitled.
The Presidents power in the prem.
ises does not depend on the action
that the defendants in this case may
take. He is charged with the duty
of nominating the officers who are to
be confirmed by the Senate, and this
court could not, by injunction. deprive
him of information which he might
desire from the records of the War
Department
at is doubtful in the mind of the
court whether the plaintiff has any
vested right, either by virtue of the
Act of October 1, 1880, or by his hav-
Ing been nominated to the senate by
President Taft; and the court does
not thing 1t is necessary in this case
to pronounce any opinion as to the
constitutionality of the said Act of
October /, 1890. The construction
placed upon the act by the war de-
partment and by the president is one
that the court would not undertake
to set aside for the responsibility OF
its Interpretation and execution must
rest ultimately with the president, the
executive branch of the government,
and not with the Judiciary.
The court recognizes that someone
must have some discretion in the Sc
lection of officers to be promoted or
appointed to higher grades. and that
it would be difficult to pass law
that would j operate ! automatically
without such discretion. aThe person
al equation is one that must be con-
sidered, and personal fitness for an
office should be determined by those
who are responsible for the proper
execution of the duties of such office.
The question seems to be one for
an executive or administrative officer,
rather than one for the court"
