As 8enator Bryan points out, those

there of their own choosing, not be
cause tbey have been forced there.
If they do not like their aitnatlons
they may resign at any time. The
senator thinks that theae government j
employee have no more right to claim
pensions than have employes of pri
vate Industries, which la possibly
true, but we have to remember that
many private Industries are begin
ning to pension their employee; tn
fact, this pension system la taking
rather firm footing in our industrial
life. It is regarded by many students
of society ss one of the simplest and
fairest solutions of a very bard prob
lem. It might very easily be argued,
then, that if the man out of govern
ment service is to have pension,
why not the one in the government
service?

What ha for some time bee
known to be the program of the War
department for concentration of
troop and abandonment of smaller
garrison post baa become of public
record In the report .submitted In
response to the Inquiry through coo
gross. The plan which has been
evolved by the chief of staff con
template Immediate abandonment of
eighteen or twenty forts scattered
over the country, and the massing of
the troops at strategical point.
This program I of special Interest
to Omaha and Nebraska In Its prob
able effect upon army location here.
Inasmuch a It places Fort Robinson
among those that may be vacated
with advantage and leaves the fata
of Fort Crook to be determined when
the subsequent step of concentration
may be reached.
Omsba naturally wishes to be
kept on the army nap, especially If
It retention of Fort Crook and Fort
Omaha mean their development and
their increasing Imports. nee. But If
this reorganization plan prevails we
must have some better argument to
present merely than that we want to
keep the poet, and must be ready to
prove that tbey are located at points
of strategic value, where troop can
be economically maintained and
promptly and effectively distributed
on csll for tbelr service.
Such showing, we believe, Omaha
can put up, when the time comes, so
strongly as to convince any unpreju
diced tribunal passing upon It that
all the requirements may be met
here In high degree. The poets at
Omaha are not to be classed as out

The old project of merging city
railroad ticket offices Is being agi

where most of the old arguments are

that millions could be saved annually
