every city in the country. These
men are liable to be called for duty.
The old scandal, which committed
the health and the lives Of brave SOL
diers to the careless ignorance Of
callow ircompetents, will no. be re-
pcated. Last year, among all the
Federal troops in camp in Texas,
there was rot one case OF typhoid.
This is only a symptom of our
general preparedness eNemplitied in
the promptness with which the army
and navy have responded to the call
of their country and the efficiency
with which the navy's landing parties
have done their days work. II is a
symptom of the highest moment,
however, for all modern wars have
cxemplified the prime Importance of
wisely adequate medical direction.
The medical corps, which certainly
did not shine in 1888, will have op-
Portunity for vindication.
The Washington times., 1914-05-11
HEALTH OF SOLDIERS.

There will be no repetition in the
Mexican campaign of those criminal
stupidities which transformed the
camps Of our soldiers in the Spanish
American war into field hospitals,
where disease stalked almost un-
challenged and death exacted a more
frightful toll than the cnemy's arms.
In that school of dreadful experience
and in Cuba, the Philippines, ard
Panama we learned something of
how to combat the real scourge of
trOpic warfare.
Our Army Medical Corps, if re-
ports speak the truth, has become
one of the most efficient in the world.
Its campaigns are laid out in advance
with the same attention to detail and
the same provision for emergencies
which mark the plans of the general
staff for the active conduct of often
sive operations. In the medical re-
serve are commissioned physicians
ana surgeons Of standing in almosG

THE VERA CRUZ DEAD.

Soldering thoughts will engage the
rational mind today as it turns to-
ward the solemn ceremonies in New
York marking the arrival of the fu-
neral ship Montana, with the soldier
and sailor dead from Vera Cruz. 1t
was not much Of a battle that placed
the American soldiers in Vera Cruz
and the Stars and Stripes over the
first port of Mexico, but it cost near
a score of American lives, and gave
point to the thought of what the hor-
Tors of real war would be.
IF this nation shall be forced into
a war in Mexico, it will be with more
reluctance than we have entered
upon any foreign contest in the ma
tioral history. One of the best signs
Of the times, to be observed every
where. is that there is less jingoism,
less demagoguery, less bluster, and
brag and buncombe in the face of a
possible conflict in arms than ever
refore. 1t is an earnest weighing of
the costs and the consequences, and
there could be no more egregious
mistake than to assume that it signi-
fes national faint-heartedness about
carrying forward any campaign that
may become necessary.
But war for glory and for con-
quest is making less appeal to ma
tional sentiment today than it ever
did. It is q generation of new hu-
manism and greater appreciation of
the sacredness of life and life's
rights of happiness. These concep-
tions animate the political and eco
romic sentiment of the time quite as
much as the attitude toward interna-
tional relations. The reluctance
either to undergo on our own part or
to impose on another people the aw-
full penalties of war does not signify
cowardice or the decline of what the
Romans SO fittingly called virtue, but
It does speak for a more thoughtful,
Christian, and civilized realization of
the obligation Of society TO it's indi-
Nidual members,
The Washington times., 1914-05-11
THE RUCKER REPORT.

The Democratic majority of the
House Committee on Elections has
reported its opinion that the Demo-
Gratis have not violated any law in
passing the hat and collecting 500
from each Democratic Congressman
for campaign purposes, to be eX-
pended through the Congressional
campaign committee. The Republic
ans of the committee are very sure.
and so report, that the laws against
soliciting campaign funds from Gov
ernment employees. against soliciting
funds on q Government reservation,
and against any Government official
contributing campaign funds to a
Senator or Representative have all
been violated.
Whatever may be the letter OF
these statutes, the horse sense of it
sustains the Democratic position. 1t
is all tommyrot to presume that po-
litical campaigns are going to be run
without money. Politics has no need
to get itself into such holier-than-
thou attitude that it can't take up a
collection and use, in a cooperative
way, funds that it would be perfect
ly proper for every Congressman to
employ in his own personal interest.
So long as the churches, the chari-
ties, and the educational institutions
of the country are largely sustained
by voluntary contributions, there
will be no occasion for politics to
hide its head in shame if it adopts
like methods.
There is and should be proper re-
striction against interests which are
concerned with legislation giving
money in ways that might be expect
ed improperly to influence the legis-
lative or administrative authorities.
But to undertake such nonsense as
prohibition of Congressman uniting
in the management of little slice of
their campaign funds, is simply to in
vite and insure a lot of dangerous
hypocrisy and indirection.

FREDERICK w. LEHMANN.

Frederick W. Lehman, of St.
Louis, has been named as one of the
representatives of American inter-
ests before the A. B. C. mediation
conferences in Niagara Falls, Can
ada. Associated with him will be
Justice Lamar, of the Supreme
Court, and one other delegate yet
10 be announced. The selection of
member of the Supreme Court in
such a connection is obviously appro-
pirate, ard Mr.. Justice Lamar meets
the requirements. In the case Of
MIR. Lehman, the choice is particu-
larly interesting because it suggests
how much of opportunity for public
service may come to a man who keeps
out of politics. Mr.. Lehman has
not always eschcwed politics, but
since 1896, when he ceased to be a
regular" Democrat on the money
issue he has been diligently practic-
ing law. Rising to a place Of the
largest distinction in his profession,
he was considered, despite his Dem
ocratic leanings, for no less place
than the Attorney Generalship in the
Taft Cabinet. He became Solicitor
General, and performed notable serv-
ice. That he would be named to one
of the vacancies on the Supreme
Court during the Taft regime was
very confidently expected by his
friends and desired by the bar of tho
country. He has served with espe-
cIal distinction as president Of the
American Bar Association, and his
selection at this time for a place on
-he board of mediation counselors
revives the impression that he is in
lir.e for a place on the Supreme
Bench. Mr.. lehman is one man
so much bigger than political parties
and partisanship that people forget
such minor considerations when oc-
casion arises for drafting him to
perform public duties.
