to Fort Grant, which is practically an
abandoned post, and Senator Rayner
introduced his resolution at the re
quest of Colonel Stewart's friends.
The following report of Senator Ray
ner's speech in the senate was taken
from the Denver News:
Saying a commission had been
sent to Colonel Stewart informing
him that improvements would be
made in the sanitary conditions of
Fort Grant if he desired, Rayner
added: "The same sort of communi
cation passed to Dreyfus, I think.
The charges against Colonel Stew
art," said Rayner, "are frivolous and
potty, and do not, in the slightest
degree, reflect on his character as a
man, his character as a citizen, or
his courage as a soldier. One of
them is that he has 'temperamental
infirmities.' The president has come
to the conclusion that Colonel Stew
art is a man who. wants to have his
own way."
Colonel Stewart, he said, had his
own ideas about his duty, and did
not propose to be interfered with in
the performance of his duties.
"This is a charge," declared Ray
ner, 'npt that Colonel Stewart makes
against the r president but that the
president makes against Colonel
Stewart,
"He has not,' continued Rayner,
'the , temperament of the president,
tliat fine' system, pf adjustment that
always suggest- restraint, calmness
and moderation. Roosevelt thinks
Colonol, Stewart should yield as he,
the pr.esjdentphas.jdone on similar
occasjpns, it is known that the presi
dent njeye , indulges in fpxpible and
vehement excision, either, .in oral or
written Acommunjlcations, that he is
free, from jpapy pfi.the faults of the
race,, and that ie1(hast given us the
most ser,ene and? placid presidential
epoch we, have ever been blessed
with.",
Rayner read his letter to the presi
dent, tafyngj jjis purpose to introduce
in the senate' a resolution demanding
an induiry Into the Stewart case, and
then read the president's reply, in
terpolating ,'h is own comments on the
president's1 words as he went along.
"At present T,do not see how a
court of inquiry could be of use," the
president stated in his letter, "as I
do not seehow any court could ex
press an opinion which I could pay
more heed to 'than the judgment of
Grant, Murray, Duvall and Davis, on
whose f judgment I have acted."
Rayper paused 4n the reading to
declare, tb.at wUh a single exception
these .offices .named by the presi
dent had been promoted over the
head, of Colpnel Stewart to the posi
tions they now occupy.
"Is Without Parallel"
Continuing, he read the president's
letter, saying the charges against
Colonel Stewart already had been es
tablished, and he did not see what
more a court of inquiry could do.

"This," exclaimed Raynor, "is tho
president's interpretation of his con
stitutional prerogative. It has never
been paralleled in tho military rec
ord of American history."
Tho president's letter to Rayner
stated, however, that ho would givo
further consideration to the senator's
demand for a court of inquiry, and
added that this was one of the many
cases of "contentious" officers de
manding courts of inquiry, to grant
which would destroy tho discipline of
tho army. Tho president said that
he did nbt understand Rayner's allu
sion to a joint resolution of congress.
"I advised him to consult his at
torney general, but I do not suppose
ho could throw much light on it,
either," interposed Rayner, amid
laughter.
Has Right to Inquiry
Rayner discussed, from a legal
point of view, precedents for con
gress ordering courts of inquiry
particularly the cases of General
Howard and Admiral Schley. Tak
ing up. the point as to what consti
tuted courts of inquiry the senator
said the authorities were all against
the. president having the slightest
right .to punish an officer without a
court,-' and no commanding general
had such right. He declared that
the president was determined to
keep. Colonel Stewart in exile for
three years, when ho would be re
tired. on account - of age, and he
added '., i '.:
"The president says to hihij 'Stay
there or surrender and retire.' No
such '.edict was ever contemplated
even in the imperial armies of con
tinental Europe."
The senator reviewed again the
conditions of Colonel Stewart's exile,
and paid:
"It makes my blood boil to fever
heat to hear the president announce
such an outrage against any man. If
the .man Is guilty he should be con
victed, if innocent he should be ac-
quitted? in any event ho should be
tried."
In an "aside" tho senator said:
"And why is he treated in this man
ner? Because h got into a quarrel
with a plumber. Quarrel with a
plumber, indeed.
"Hpw many quarrels do you sup
pose the president has had with
plumbers and everybody else? Sup
pose, the president should be sent to
a place like that for every quarrel
he .'gets? into?" .
Quarrel With Plumber
.Rayner re,ad the ColoneL Stewart
letter, from Fort Grant to the war de
partment, Jn which the officer de
clared that for four -months he had
no companionship except that of a
caretaker and teamster, the former
an, invalid; that tho building in
which he lived wa3 not heated prop
erly; that snow and sleet found their
way through cracks and that there
were no sanitary conveniences.
Upon the co elusion of the presi
dent's letter, Rayner .agreed to call
his resolution tomorrow for action
by. the- senate, Warren indicating that
he desired to have it .referred to the
committee on military affairs.
The president's letter to Senator
Rpyjier covers nine typewritten pages
and ,'for the most part is a review of
Colonel Stewart's quarrel witn offl-
cers under him and with citizens in
the neighborhood or posts whore he
has been assigned. His conduct is
condemned by the president in the
severest language as, unfitting him
for any cqmmand, particularly Jor
the rank of brigadier general, which
the president declares to be Stewart's
aim. The president calls Stewart "a
nuisance."
"Shakespeare wrote for all time."
"For instance?"
"Take his expression: ' 'Tis not so
deep as a well, nor so wide as a
barn door, yet 'twill serve.' How
well that describes a 1908 spring
hat." Louisville Courier-Journal.
