of Pershing.Snap and precision; shun obstruc-

tions: keep things moving toward re-sults; "can do, will do," sums up inevery-day English the propelling di-rections back of tne War Depart-ment today. Overseas headq'iartersmethods which made Chaumiott,Prance, a center pf snooth-working,torward-going activities, hive beenadopted by Secretary Weeks, who waslooking ht that direction when he se-lected General Pershing for his chiefof staff.The old casual atmosphere of the

War Department is gorA er-l in itsplace there is apparent a business-like trend which is even noticeable inthe corridors of the State, War andNavy bi-lding in the absence of oti-cers passing in and out of swingingdoors. They are kept busy at tneirdesks and the messengers are doingthe walking of corridors.

Weeks Starts Plan.The new method got its start when

Secretary Weeks late in July sent amemorandum addressed to the chiefof staff covering the President's in-terpretation of the Army reorganiza-tion law. This view in effect di-sected General Pershing to take upthe biggest task of his career, getthe lRegular Army down to bed-rock,build up the National Guard, and re-constitute the divisions of his victori-ous army and organize them into thereserve.Just a month ago the Secretary

placed his, approval on the plan fororganizing the General Staff, and alsodrew the line sharply between theGeneral Staff and the Adjutant Gon-eral's Department in an order whichleft no doubt as to the policies andregulations under which both were tooperate. The General Staff plan sinp-ly threw out as obsolete the plan underwhich the War Department had oper-ated since the world war, replacing itwith the scheme which had provedcorrect in the experiences in France.In order to give General Pershing afree hand for the larger activities,Maj. Gen. James G. Harbard was des-ignated Deputy Chief of Staff, to .Actfor General Pershing at any time andallowing him to report direct to Secre-tary Weeks and to supervise the busi-ies. of all the divisions in the War Department.''he staff designations used at Chau-

mont were adopted. G-1 replaces theformer personel division; 0-2, the mili-tary intelligence; G-3, the operationsand training, and G-4 the supply divi-mion. For the G-5 division, there isnow the War Plans division whi-h isconstantly at work on plans of offenseand defense. This division is the mostimportant for this reason: When warcomes it moves into the field underGeneral Pershing as commander of thearmies and starts work as his fieldgeneral headquarters. This meansthat for any emergency the oficerswho have worked on war plans andstudied all posible situations duringpeace will be ready to start for thescene of action, establish headquartersand take hold of all activities of theamny inmediately.

At its head is Col. Bryan H1. Wolis,of distinguished service in France. whoin the field becomes the commandinggenerai's chief of staff. The officersunder him take the dire-tion of thedivisions. (-1, G-2. (1-3 and (1-4, tandthe sam- divisions here in the WarTf-partment go on an usual withoutbeing disturbed by war except to theextent of sparing members of th-irstaffs for the field headquarters. Thehulk of the expansion in the field staff,however, will come from the ArmyWar College.

The SenatoiHyland of New York as specithe attempt to raise fares thrnounces the measure that creicommission and asserts that "itconfiscation."NEW YORK CITY'S PROBLEM.

By HIRAM W. JOHNSON.ancient proverb tells us that

Truth could be found only atthe bottom of a well, but her

seekers gazing down too often found'stat their own faces reflceted, andleft firmly convinced they had madethe great discovery.So in political campaigns, not in-

frequently, our prejudices, our in-terests, our partisanship, our vanitysway our judgments, and we fond-ly imagine that in the reflection ofwhat most concerns ourselves wehave found the righteous side andare struggling for the triumph oftruth.There are, however, elements in

the present New York campaignquite out of the ordinary, issues di-.voreced fromn partisanship, whichcompel the interest of the thought-ful and the activity of the patritotic.

In these issues personalities andpolitics may be eliminated. Indepen-dent citisens, believers in populargovernment, the men and womenwho constitute the great marticulatemass, and who desire only theircountry's welfare and preservationof its cherished institutions, havereal questions new before them.A combination of circumstances

has made New York the battle-ground for the fundamental princi-ples of democracy; and these funda-mentals must be rightly decided with-out regard to the politics of thesituation or the personaltiees in-volved.

"Infamy of Traction Law."The first of the issues. of tran-

scendent importance to the city ofNew York, and of only less impor-tance to every city and every localityin the country, is the new Tractionlaw. If, with impunity. the greatestcity of the nation can be deprived ofits property and robbed of its inher-ent right to govern itself, a prece-dent will have been set which com-

plaisant or corrupt Legirlatures willnot be slow to follow.

It is true that the traction billwas heralded as a Republican policy,sponsored by a Republican Govern-nor but it was never part of a Re-publican platform, nor otherwisethan by traction companies made a

Republican measure. No candidatein the State campaign, preceedingits introduction in the Legislature,even hinted at such a law. No partyadvocated it; no platform mentionedit.Whatever may have been the

secret purposes of its progenitorsthey remained secret during thecampaign, and the people voted inignorance that their right of self-government was threatened. Andnothing better demonstrates the In-famy of this Traction law than thefact that no candidate in the pressitlocal election in New York City willespouse it and all political partiescondemn it.SPURNED BY SPONSORS.Certain Republicans in the Legis-

lature at the behest of certain hoses.who in turn acted at the behest oftraction companies. voted for thebill. The same members of the Leg-islature and the same boses now re-

pudiate it. Their belated repudiationis not enough; they themselvesshould be so thoroughly repudiatedthat neither legislator nor boss willever again dare to commit such an

offense against the people. Thepresent attitude of these legislatorsand bosses illustrates what has everfollowed in our political life.A job can be perpetrated in a

Legislature: even a job which takesthe property and destroys the rightsof a people. With the aid of news-paper allies the job may be brazenly,cynically and arrogantly committed;hut how all the offenders scurry tocover when there is an accountingbefore the people! Where are theadvtrates of the Traction bill inthis camapaign?While the legislature was in ses-

sIon, it wasn't difficult for concen-trated power and wealth and theirjournalistic aillies to send train loadsof exultant individuals to Albany inbehalf of a traction bIll for the en-riching of private corporations. Itwas of little consequence to gentle-men of easy conscience that thegreatest city in the world should bedeprived, in dealing with railroad

Driven Into Hiding.Where are these merry people

today? Where are the eloquentspeakers who talked in Albany ofseven-cent fares and the necessity ofhaving a State appointed board re-write the contracts of. New YorkCity, and, without the people's con-sent, take their property?As this is written, every candi-

date is against the traction bill; ev-ery citizen's combination repudiatesit; every party denounces it. Ignor-ant or designing men may job thepeople with A legislature. Theydaren't even attempt to justify thejob when it is up to the people them-selves. And just here is the secondfundamental issue presented.The vice of the Traction Bill is

not in its pretense at regulation, forthe right of regulation under theordinary circumstances requiring it.must be conceded. Far beyond reg-ulations does the bill go. It suggestsregulation, and enacts confiscation.It authorises the rewrlting of thecity's contracts, the abrogation ofold contracts and execution of new.CITY'S POWERS USURPED.The State-appointed Transit Com-

mision may make terms and condi-tions which the city must obey inits relations with the railroad com-

panies, may require payment by thecity of any amounts the TransitCommission may ask, for any pur-poses of the commission, and theamounts must be paid without item-ization or detail of any sort. Thecommission is authorized withotehearing of any kind,' temporarily(and this may practically .be in-definitely) to Increase fares.

Jurisdiction of the streets of thecity substantially in conferred uponAlbany's appointees. But outrageousas all these things are, worse ev-nthan requiring the treasury of thecity to respond, without knowledgeby officials or citizens, to every le-mand of the Commission, is the de-struction of the right of the peopleto govern themselves, of the princi-pal of home rule.Of course, in this day of reaction.

it is neither fashionable nor scarcelypermissible to speak of home rulefor cities or for peoples. But thereis a vital principle in local govern-inent, without which democracy isa mockery, and this principle hasgradually become known as HomeRule.

By- the Traction Bill, when con-tracts are to be altered or newones made with the railroad com-panies, they must he submitted tothe corporations and to the city.The corporations may accept or re-fuse. The city can only accept. Ifthe city does not consent, then theCommission executes the contractsin the name of the city. And this.too, may be in respect to the city'svery properties -- the s u h way sowned by it, and upon which it hasexpended three hundred millions ofdollars.

Home Rule Rights Gone.Of course, in an article of this sort,

there can be neither legal argumentnor a detailed analysis of the law.Suffice it to say, under an art nowrepudiated by the party which itwas originally asserted sponsored it,now denounced by every candidateand political organization, an actwhich before the people had neitherapologists nor defenders. New YorkCity is deprived of the right to dealwith its own property and the mostcherished privilege of American life.self-government, is denied to sevenmillion people.

the answer to which must be madein no uncertain tons.Nearly fifty years ago one of the

most eminent of American jurists.Judge Cooley. disposed of such a lawin this apt language:"The State may mold local instt-

tutions according to its views of pol-icy or expediency; but local govern-ment is a matter of absolute right,and the State cannot take it away.It would be the boldest mockery tospeak of a city an possessing munic-ipal liberty where the State not onlyshaped its government, but at dis-cretion sent in its own agents toadminister it; or to call that systemone of constitutional freedom underwhich it should be equally admis-sible to allow the people full controlin their local affairs or no controlat all."YEAR OUTRAGED PUBLJC.No longer novel or original is the

course followed by exploiting poweror wealth. When a bill like theTraction Law appears in a subserv-lent legislature, the cunning menbehind it know they must not becontent with the easy victory beforethe people's representatives, but theymust look to the future to preventany overthrow of their will by anindignant and outraged public.To them representative govern-

ment (that is, where they controlthe representatives) in not a merefetish, a shibboleth to conjure with.but a palpitating necessity of theirprofit. They and their allies of tnepress frown upon popular expre-ssion. no words can adequately ex-press their contempt for the idea thatthe people should pass upon whatmost intimately concerns them.Reaction depriving the people of

what is theirs requires reaction pre-cluding the possibility of the peoplerighting the wrong.When it was certain the Traction

Bill would pass, it was prophesiedby the experienced that this sort ofspoilation would be followed by theendeavor to curtail the politicalrights of the people, and the eventsimmediately following the passage ofthe hill justified the prediction. Nosooner had the act been put throughthan an attack was made upon thedirect primary. While in all itsphases the direct primary was notdestroyed, it was limited in its scopeand rendered much less efficacious.The old stock arguments, which havebeen so often disproved, were utilizeedto the full in the very short periodof discussion.The direct primary, of course. has

its faults, but, after all, it i democ-racy. The convention system has itsfaults of another character, muchmore menacing to our institutions.Whatever may be the ills resultingfrom direct nominations, they rep-resent the will of the electorate.And, under our system. the peoplehave the right to decide their ownfate politically-the right not onlyto elections, but the right in nomina-tions. too.

Johnson's Remedy.And just a word may be permitted

concerning such laws as the trac-tion law, and that impairing thedirect primary. There is , nly oneway in which the people may beprotected from them. In the hot en-thusiasm of personal candidacies itis difficult at times to separateissues. Upon mere personalities mayturn the event, and because personalpassions and prejudices may havetheir part in el"etions, often momen-tous questions affecting the peoplemay be undecided or forgotten.The disinterested should seek

some remedy against iniquitous ex-ploiting laws and those which de-prive voters of their political rights.There is a remedy, and an effectiveremedy. It is the initiative and ref-erendum. If New York State hadthe initiative and referendum, no

public official would dare espouse.no legislature would dare pass sucha traction law; and if a legislaturewere so far recalcitrant, under a

referendum. the remedy would bespeedy and certain.The objection to the initiative and

referendum and substantially the ob.jections to direct nominations. Thepeople haven't sense enough, it isinsis.t-d. to pass upon lIws mostintimately concerning them. TheAssemblyman from the most remotecounty in the State of New York,and the Senator from the least pop-ulous district. neither of which maybe within shotgun distance of a

trolle.y line, may intellig.ntly passupon the street railway problems ofNew York City, but, according tothe distinguished gentlemen who ar-rogate to themselves the right togovern the rest of us. the people ofNew York City are utterly devoidof the business acumen, or the in-telligent discrimination with whichth.e country legislator is so richlyendowed.Give New York the inItiative and

VETERAN OF 4 WARSPASSES 95TH YEAR

Maj. Junius T. Turner Served asCommander of Lincoln's

Bodyguard.Major Junius Thomas Turner, vet-

eran of four wars, who commandeda bodyguard which escorted Presi-dent Lincoln from the White Houseto the Soldiers' Home here, is nine.ty-five years old and ready to die.

"I am drawing to the close of mycareer," the major remarked casuallyon his ninety-fifth birthday anniver-sary. I have no qualms about death.As a matter of. fact, I'm perfectlyindifferent about the whole thing-don't care whether I'm living ordead--but I wouldn't commit sui-cide."Major Turner's first visit to Wash-

ington was during the Administra-tion of Andrew Jackson, and he re-mained in the Capital long enough towitness the inatguration of MartinVan Buren. Washington was a dirtylittle city, sunk in a mud hole inthose days, and the major wonderrsometimes at the transformation thathas taken place in the span of hisown life.The major's record of active par-

ticipation in four wars is believed byhim to be unequaled. He served inthe Mexican war, 1846-48; the RogueRiver, Oregon Indian war, 1t53;Con-federate tribes of Oregon and Wash-ington Indian war, 1856-66, and thecivil war. ie was awarded thetitle of colonel for his bravery inthe Civil War, but has never as-sumed the rank.

"I'd rather be a major-I -wonthat rank," he expains.When Major Turner served as

commander of President Lincoln'sbodyguard he became acquaintedwith Brady? the famous civil warphotographer. Brady gave him uphotograph of Lincoln, and whenthe President's carriage drove upTurner asked the Executive to auto-graph the picture, which Lincoln did.
