The Baltimore Sun. VI Sunday
last, under the caption Money and
the Gubernatorial Campaign. says:
With Senator Blair Lee and
Congressman Linthienm a. candi-
dates for thu Democratic Bomina-
tion "a governor. with a protege
Of senator Smiths also certain 70
be ID the fight, aud with all signs
pointing 70 the fact that Mayor
Preston Is likewise 70 be involved,
the man on the street is saying that
this is going 20 be a liberal cam
paign. lie means by that that with
all these rich men deeply interested
there viii be- tremendous amount
Of money spent.
Money will, no doubt, be spent m
the primaries by the different can
didates 70, the nomination, but the
unwarranted expenditure of money,
or money used 10 debauch the cleo
torate, should and must be avoided.
IN three-cornered fight the legiti-
mate use Of money in giving publ
city to the principles, the platforms
on which the different candidates
viii make their fight, and the poll
teal records will, undoubtedly, be
large, and while this state OF affairs
will be detrimental 10 the candidate
without barrel" il he has extra
or special fitness lacked by the other
candidate he can rely on the voters
honest conviction and good common
sense coming 10 his assistance. The
primary election law may not be
perfect. but il is great improve
Dent over the old method, and It's
imperfeetions can and should be
remedied.
We would like 10 see the several
candidates get together and agree 20
restrict the amount Of money 10 be
used by them and their friends 10
actual aud lawful expenses Of the
campaign and thus live up To the
spirit of the law, It's every provi-
sion.
The standing of Senator Lee and
Congressman Linthicum, and their
past policical records will furnish
ample reasons why the voter should
prefer one Ia the other; and we
doubt not that other candidates en-
iering the field will have records
that would induce voters To intelli-
gently support them. Eliminate
the unwarranted use Of money and
let the voters decide the contest on
the merits aud records Of the sever
al candidates.
We trust The San is unduly ex-
ercised over the 'unwarranted" Use
of money, and are certain the De
mocracy can be relied upon TO ex-
press their honest preference accord
ing to sound Judgment and good,
hard common sense, money TO the
contrary, Notwithstanding.

Lewistown, Mont-After having

Winnett, by whom he was employed.

rim of his hat and sent bullet

his dog to Mr.. Winnett.
Baldwin was a native of Texas, thir-
ty years old and unmarried. He had
been with the Winnett company about
five years, being employed by Mr..
Winnett as herder. He apparently
came under the delusion that he was
being prosecuted and fired the wagon

GERS and of high civilian officials were
contributed some time ago to a New
York publication. A senator of the
United States secured permission to
have the answers printed as a public
document. Until recently there were
comparatively few calls for this docu-
ment, but it can be secured today and
in it can be found just what high
officials, military and civil, think is the
trouble with the land forces of the
United States
For instance there is an answer to
the question made by former Secre-
tary of War Henry L. Stimson. He
cites examples of the troubles and
says that they serve to show our
lack of intelligent system in dealing
with our army" Then he adds:
These are all matters for us. They
demand the intelligent interest of the
citizens just as much as they involve
his ultimate safety and welfare"
The answers originally appeared in
the New York Independent and the
opinions of the officials at the head
of the articles iAsanswer to the ques
ton were put into few words. These
condensed are some of the answers to
the query: What is the matter with
our army"
1T lacks concentration" Major Gen
eral Leonard Wood.
1T is, needlessly expensive" Major
General w. w. Wotherspoon.
1T lacks organization" Briga0ier
General Clarence r. Edwards.
Its alienation from the people
Colonel Hunter Light
Its piecemeal development and
divided control" Major George H
Shelton.
THE national failure to realize its
purpose" Brigadier General Robert
Evans
The congress of the United States
at this session will attempt to find out
whether these officers are right or not
and it seems likely that the people
as result Of congressional debates
will be able to determine for them
selves just where our armed service
stands.

in a dry voice and licked his lips
nervously.

Two noncommissioned officers lee

"Was the prisoner placed on sentry

Colonel Boileau.
mo, sir" replied the sergeant
quietly.
He was not sure, now that they Ques-
toned him, but having given his evil
dence, he did not want to get into
trouble. Besides, he hated the young
American who had returned at the
outbreak of war to fight for his ia
theirs country.
Marchand, with his American ideas,
had been what is called a lawyer" He
had made trouble with the commits
sariat, with the little thieving corporal
who sold the hay; altogether he was
what the sergeant regarded as bad
influence in the force-that is to say,
a man, not a machine.
War had been declared four days
before, and the company was moving
