Ind9ed, Pres« dont McKinley has a way of saving things that sound well, ’but there is a wide difference between •talk and deeds, and that is exactly the thing which the committee should investigate. If the president lias spent seventeen hours a day in his office “watching oyer the army” he has labored long hours to ittle profit {_ erliaps some of those hours were expended in r.ending in the names ot incempetent sons of millionaires for appointment as commissary officers of the army ? Certainly hundreds of such incorn etents were appointed, and assuredly McKinley appointed them. it is too late for the president to ttii the people übout his anxiety over the ‘roys in blue.
