ARMY MANNERS AND MORALS
When Secretary Taft returns from
the Philippines pretty nearly the first
business which ho will find upon I1I3
desk calling for actlori is the need of
calling various courts of inquiry which
It will be necessary to order in re
gard to the testimony given by army
officers in the Taggart divorce case.
Nobody expects, as Kipling has
pointed out in regard to the army
private, that army officers shall bo
"plaster of paris saints." But tho
articles of war themselves require
that the holder of a commission shall
bo a gentleman a"s well as an officer.
Scandal and all that follows scandal
to tho final end of divorce proceed
ings are inevitable wherever men and
women, more or less idle and lacking
moral restraint, are brought together.
But it is not so much the morals
in the evidence in the Taggart case j
which are shocking as the personal
license and unrestrained conduct laid
baro at an army post by the evidence
of officers on both sides. Much was
evidently due to the lamentable fact
that the post where most of this oc
curred had a commanding officer of
whom the best that can be said is
that he was weak, while the worst
charged by a brother officer in a dep
osition at the trial is as bad as can
be alleged by one man against any
man.
But throughout the evidence which
relates to conduct in Porto Rico, in
Chicago, in San Francisco and in the
Philippines, at army, quarters and
army society, has shown a lack of
respect for the ordinary conventions
and propieties of life, such as is in
a sense perfectly well understood by
sensible men worse than actual im
morality. There are cases where It
is, in a true sense, worse to be-vul-gar
and vicious than to bo vicious
alone.
The army has been enlarged two and
a half fold in tho last seven years.
Tho corresponding increase in the
number of officers has made it neces
sary to give commissions, to a large
number of men of whom in the nature
of things little could be known and
who knew little themselves of the
restraint required of an officer. Sec
retary Taft can do no greater service
for the morality of the army than by
prompt and vigorous action, which
shows that the secretary of war, at
least, is aware of the code and man
ners, if not of conduct, which must
control officers if an army is to main
tain its discipline and retain the re
spect of the nation it defends, all of
whose citizens desire to believe that
every officer is a gentleman. Phila

dorsal was nearly four feet. It had
a sharp nose, about two feet long,
as hard aa a -Roman sword, and Its
head was larger than a swordfish.
Daniel McDonald told a Journal man
the story of tho capture. "A weok
ago," he said, "in a dead calm, Dowdy
and I put off in a dory. Wo had
rowed but a short distance from the
ship when wo saw this fish rising,
and as ho reached the surface I put
a harpoon into him. Then I saw that
ho was like no swordfish that ever
lived. He tore around In tho water,
creating enormous waves, and then
dashed at the boat. He hit It a num
ber of times with his body, but his
sword was so short In proportion that
ho waB unable to uso it.
"Then he started to run away. The
lino grow taut, and wo tore through
the water like a torpedo boat. Twen
ty knots we did if wo did one, and
dories aren't made to stand a strain
like that.
"After a while it tried to ease up.
but each time wo pull' 1 taut on tho
rope. This finally tired him out. Ho
was bleeding all the time, and at last,
five hours after wo harpooned him,
he turned over. Then wo started to
pull back to the ship. She was fully
ten miles away, and the monster,
which weighed 1,400 pounds, was not
easy to move, even in tho water. Wo
finally got back, completely tired out.
It was a great victory."

Highway robbery does not insist
wholly of stopping wayfarers on the
public road. Some or the worst in
stances have happened near legisla
tive halls.
Ever hear the story of the man
who, while walking through tho
fields, came to a nigh stone wall?
"I'll jump it!" ho exclaimed. In order
to get a good start no backed off a
mile, and then ran with all his might
until he reached the wall. But AVhen
he reached it lie was too 'tired to
jump, so he lay down In its shade
and went to sleep. That's the way a
great many of us are about our work.
We spend so much time and effort
getting ready to do something" that
when we get to it we are too tired.

THE SKILLAGALEE
Eiehteen feet from the tip of his
snout to the tail, the largest fish that
was ever brought into T wharf came
in yesterday on the Ida Silva, sword
fishermen, having been captured after
a fight only equaled by John Boyle
O'Reilly's "fight with the amber
whale." For twelve miles the mons
ter towed a dory containing Everett
Dowdy and Daniel McDonald, who had
harpooned It, thinking it was a sword-J
fish. A score of times it turned and
attacked the boat, a hundred times it
sought the bottom, endeavoring to
pull the frail dory down after it and
only being prevented by the length
of the harpoon rope.
The fish was styled a skillagalee
or large billfish by the authorities on
T wharf, but never before was one
of the species known to grow to half
its size
All day yesterday the animal was
on exhibition at the store of the Glou
cester Fish company In Atlantic ave
nue, and a wondering crowd marveled
it its proportions. Its tail measured
six feet when ' extended, its side fin
was nearly two feet long and its huge
