MILITARY PREPARATORY SCHOOLS.

Secretary Bakers annual report contained a suggestion which
Congress ought not to neglect. One Of the weak points in our mil
itary system is the ~haphazard method by which appointments are
made to the military and naval academies. Most of these appoint
ments are made on the recommendation Of members of Congress.
Formerly the power of appointment was treated as a political per-
quisite. In recent years Congressman have taken largely to hold
ing co1npetitative examinations in their districts, the two highest
on the list of aspirants being chosen as principal and alternate.
But the whole scheme Of selection is capricous. The conditions
of entrance are not standardized. AS a result a large percentage
Of those nominated are rejected when they present themselves.
The cadet body at West Point has been for years much below its
authorized strength and there has been a great disparity in the
qualifications of those admitted.
The Secretary of War asks Congress to establshsmiitary pre-
paratory schools from which the most proficient students will
graduate into the military and naval academies. til a thorough
sound idea; Such schools would set a standard for admission miss to
tween the army and the navy, officers in the two services being
thrown together as preparatory students. They would also fur
nish, in the body of graduates for whom there might be no place
in the two academies, a reserve organization of young men par
italy trained to become officers or to go into the important indus
tries which sustain an army in the field.
Sound military opinion strongly favors the scrappng of the

Our state legislature win convene in a few days and everybody is

are members Of the coming legislature are not going,t to do any
thing rash, but will see to it that nothing is done to burden our,

sary appropriations to run our state Institutions and then adjourn,

be about like the Farmers Alliance was some twenty years ago.
There is little doubt but what the coming legislature will pass a

believe it would be a good thing Whether it should be made COM
