Twenty years ago the naiy cost us each year about $30,000.-00- 0; now It eosts about $140,000,000. Tbe acquisition of ths Philippines necessitated an increase In tbe army, and the army appropriation bill is Mg-ge- r than ever. Naturally all departments have grown at a pace In keeping with the growth in population, and so today, much sooner than was expected, the billion dollar congress Is an accomplished fact. The presidents of tbe United State one after another always have urged economy. It made - no different whether it waa Cleveland, Democrat, or Harrison, or any other president, Ra putican, the plea for economy went 1 from the White House to Capitol hill each year. In ths past year perhaps the saving admonition has been mors sharp and pointed than before, for apparently the president, with other American citizens, has been somewhat staggered by tbe mere sight of the figures In ths government's exi pense account Taft Wants Just Debts Paid. No president, however, no matter to which party he has belonged, ever bas asked congress to refuss to am thorlze the payment of Unele Sams just debts. President Jaft has urged economy cBnstsiitly, but like other presidents before him be this year has urged strongly that congress do jus--' tlce to the .persons who. have valid claims against ths government and T who cannot get tbelr money.. Uncle Sam baa a court of claims The judges are as hard worked aa, and perhaps harder worked than, any of the other federal jurists. They are obliged to past Judgment on tho validity of claims mads against ths United Slates by private Individuals. If tho courtfinds that tbs claims art jusL all it can do la to say ao and to inform congress that tbe United 8tateo owes Henry Nelson or Phillip Stuy- vesant such and such a sum of money. Then Henry Nelson and Phillip Btuyveaant go to congress and ash that the money which really belong! to them ahall be paid, and congrera usually turns a deaf ear. Of course claims are paid from time to time, but IhShF n.man with a bill which tho courts' have O. Kd waits many a loaf year before be gets bla money and then he does not get all be deserves for no Interest is allowed. In hie message to congress this yean President Jaft urged the payment oC the Just indebtedness of Uncle Sam. Ha says this pointedly; "The delay tbet occun In the payment of tho money due under the claim Injures the reputation of the government aa an boneet debtor, and 1 earnestly recommend that these claims which come to congress with the Judgmeok and approval of the court of claims should be promptly paid", . Two Cavalry Leaders Die. Recently two officers of high rank on the retired list of the United States army have died, one 4n this city, and One to Virginia, Just across the Potomac river, Major Generals Wesley Merritt and Eugene A. Carr died on the same fiiy. Bch were cavalry leaders and one of them, Merritt, died within sight of a battlefield on which be won fame and tbe start of a major general when be was only twenty-fiv- e years of age. Both Merritt and Carr were buried a few days ago In tbe cadet cemetery at West Point on the Hudson river, where they lie close to another famous cavalry leader, George A. Custer, who waa killed In a fight with the Sioux Indians on the Little Rosebud Junoed6, 1976. Custer, like Merritt, wss a major general of volunteers at the age of twenty-fiv- e years. General Merritt was one of the far miliar figures on Pennsylvania ave-- ' Due and on tbs streets about Lafayette Square, Despite bis age his frame waa well knit and erect, his eye waa alert and his cheeks had the zed hue of early youth. Not long ago I saw the general standing in a driving Snow storm outside the little Episcopal ehureb ef BL John'a where tnauy presidents have worshiped. Tbe general was waiting hit turn patiently until that part of the services were reached when persons who are not pew holders are allowed to enter the sanctuary. He paid no more attention to tbe bowling elements than If he were and he looked as a boy of twenty-on- e If he were good for a quarter of a century more of life, and yet today he Is dead. Carr Famous Indian Fighter, Eugene A. Carr, like Merritt, was a West Pointer. His rise was rapid and he was one of the few officers of the United States army who received commission' by acts of congress because of conspicuous personal gallanssr-peus- s . try inthe field. Carr stayed ln the regular iervice' at tbe close of tbe civil war and was sent to the plains to begin the untried duty ,oL fighting Indians. Like General Miles, Carr developed a remarkable plainsmens, sense. They won perhaps even more fame aa Indian fighters than came to them as fighters against men of thier own color. a |
