TAlpY REPUBLICATION.

There IL such n thing as locking the
stable door after the horse has been
stolen. Viewed from an impartial
standpoint, that la what the Cham
berIain Idea of recognizing the war
boards OF the govednment looks like
at this Juncture. There was a time
when tho plans proposed by the mill
tary committee OF the senate might
have been wisely considered. but II
would SStm that their injection at
this iuncturc is more In the effect OF
an impedment 10 progress than an
Improvement Imperfect as Is the
present organization for prosecuting
the war. and many as are the bhInd-
ers they have made. yet they have
the advantage OF csperlence-they
how and wi~cre TO quickest remedy It's
weak points. On the other hand, the
chamberlain plan. while no doubt
Justified by the Investigations that
have occurred. yet involves a shak-
Ing up that can result only In tempo
fhfy dolay ana CONFUSION.
II may even be. as Mr.. Chamber
lain suggests, that the president has
not been aware OF all tho blunders
that have been committed. II may
be that MIR. Baker instead OF being
tho incompetent man we have thot,
Is simply too high up In the scale to
know the narrowing details OF the
faiiure8 that have been made. Yet II
been made OF late to profit by ex-
perlence and TO stop UP the leaks.
The worst that can be said of the
secretary of war In this connection
In that he has consented to a policy OF
virtual deceit toward the people. And
the worst that can be said OF the
president In that he has undertaken
TO do lmore than any one man can
successfully accomplish, and that he
must necessarily rely upon tho fidel-
ity OF others, some OF whom will dis
appoint him.
Whatever the result OF this contro-
versy. we need not feel anxious about
the ultimate result We need not
worry about cabinet tronbles, for
every other warning nation has had
them, and many OF them have been
much more serious than this. what
ls more to the point than additional
executive machinery is that the pres
cnt system should be perfected by
putting none but faithful mon on
guard and making a quick disposal OF

you remember In the last story he
had been thrown out OF his automo-

It's wonderful how ihsky some peo-

mighty hungry, so he followed the
porter into the dining car.
He had Roman punch In the mid
dlc OF his meal and Ice cream at the
end, and he was 30 happy that he for
got all about poor Uncle Lucky.
Everything WAS going along nicely
when all OF sudden the train came
