Why Not Competitive Exams.
for Cadets and Middies?

An editorial in a metropolitan pa
per few wekes ago rather lament
ed the fact that the quota Of cadets
and midshipmen at West Point and
Annapolis respectively is by no means
full and suggested a variety of in
teresting reasons for such a state of
affairs, among them being reaction
from a state of war, the high sal
aries paid in other callings, etc.
While there may be a good deal
in the point of view of the writer al
luded to, we believe that one of the
surest ways to increase the number
of students at Uncle Sans schools
would be to make appointments de-
pend upon competitive examinations
giving the first chance to the boy
making highest and making the one
standing second the first alternate
Such examinations would not a ne
cessarily keep out of the academies
those who can not keep up with their
class; or keep at home those who can
not even pass the entrance examina-
lions but they would be long step
in that direction. The boy who out
strips all other boys in an entire con
gressional district, in a fair exam1-
nation we'll advertised, is very apt to
do h. nd q n
didate so selected can not do it, by
what means may one be found who
will?
One of the chief advantages of
such a system would be the encour-
agement it would give to all boys to
compete, for if they knew that Meth
er politics nor ones geographical To-
cations had anything to do with his
chance of appointment, all boys
would think they had a chance OF
selection, and far more of them
would try to fit themselves for the
undertaking. 1t would serve too, to
keep the Academies from wasting
their time on young men who, de-
pending on pull. have made no seIff-
GUS attempt to fit themselves for do
ing the work. The very advertise
ment necessary for such examination
would serve to bring the matter to
the attention of boys and their par
ents and be the cause of the former
endeavoring to fit themselves to try
for<the next vacancy.
Ordinary colleges having scholar
ships to offer usually make them de-
pendent on competitive examinations
thoroughly advertised. Why should
not the United States, which has not
only scholarships but a life work
within him its gift, take the same
means to see that the best available
material is secured?

Marylanders may think they are

not seem to be known here They
look at your license tag, and then ask
where you are from, but Colorado is
some state, as large as New England
and New York with Delaware thrown
in.
Denver has system of parks, 20
miles away in the mountains. The
roads are seventy-five or a hundred
miles long through them and the
scenery is beautiful. You look up
at big hill two or three thousand
feet high, by and by you are looking
down on it from a larger one, and
then you are about halfway up.
The people use the parks-no
keep off the grass signs. They take
their camp gear and go live there.

dug or blasted out of the hill side
so you have plenty of support on one
side and very little on the other, so
that you look right down into the
CANYON. 1t is a single track road
with turnouts and plenty of bends to
keep you guessing. 1 went over it
four times and found it different each
time because of the changing lights
and shadows. No use trying to de-
scribe the scenery, you have to see
it yourself and the seeing is fine.

Different Groups In
 New Aldermanic Group

Although the new Board of Alder men is entirely Republican in mem bership the lines of demarcation be- tween the different groups is as pro- nounced or perhaps greater than when there were some Democrats among the membership
 The main contention among the members is the selection of a presi- dent and the chairmen of the inn portant committees.
 The principal committees are those on Streets, Ordinances Lighting and Sewers.
 Almost every member of the Board is a candidate for the chairmanship of one of these committees, and is looking for ways and means whereby his ambitions may be realized.
 The friends of Mayor Wilson in the Board seem to be confident that all these chairmanships will be given to them as in all former Boards the Mayor has appointed all standing committees including the chairmen of them.
 This yea" the Mayors opponents claim to h. g a majority and dispute the right of the Mayor to appoint the committees.
 The City. Charter gives the Mayor no authority to name the committees in and in former years the Board at it's first meeting have adopted rules which conferred on the Mayor the right to appoint.
 The Mayors opponents would like to strike that provision out of the rules to be adopted by the incoming Board and to either appoint the members of the committees from the GOT of the Council Chamber or give the authority to appoint them to the newly elected president of the Board
 The contest for the presidency may be keener than usual. Candidates will endeavor to elect a president who will give them the desired ap- pointments.
 The Mayors friends have agreed that Ralph T. Beers the holdover alderman from the First district is the proper man for chairman. The Mayors opponents have brought forward the names of AL derman Thomas Corners and Alder man John Y. Caldwell. The different factions are trying to line up the aldermen to vote for these men, It is understood that Town Chair man John Leonard is backing Cald- well, while the adherents of Frank Ballard have not as yet shown their hands.

WAR DEAD ARE
 TO BE TRANSFERRED

Paris Nov. 10.-France's 100000 war-dead are soon to be transferred to permanent military cemeteries or reinterred in private burying grounds, at the option of relatives.
 It may be many months before the work is even well under way but the start is to be made soon, under au- thor1ty of laws passed at the last ses- sion of parliament and now made ef- fective, by decrees.
 A separate monument, of a design not yet adopted, will be put at the head of each grave and the care of the military grounds will devolve up- on the government in perpetuity.
 Sanitation and lack of transporta- tion has delayed the assembling of the bodies but it has been decided that by careful planning the work may now be done without danger to health or to industry

 fAs I understand the decision'' 9 said Wheeler. 'it only applied to liquors which were lawfully possessed in good faith for the owners personal use before the law went into effect There will not be a large number who can legally take advantage of this''
 Wheeler added that the decision furnished another good reason why the government should tae over all of this liquor in bond and in ware houses, concentrate it in a few cen tral points and dispose of it for legal purposes under the law and return the proceeds to the owneurs.''
