ALGER AND ROOSEVELT.
Secretary Alger shows a persistent
determination to convict himself of
littleness and incapacity. His most
recent exhibition of vindictiveness
is in connection with the courageous
and manly course taken by Theodore
Roosevelt to save the army at Santi
ago from annihilation by disease.
The conditions in camp at Santiago
are frightful. Our solJiers are en
feebled aud fever stricken. Official
reports show that not to exceed 10
per cent of the forces under Geneial
Shaftcr are capable of active service.
The yellow fever season is approach
ing, and the surgeons on the ground
report that unless immediate relief
is afforded, our gallant troops will
perish like sheep.
These facts have been set forth
repeated' in official reports, but the
usual course in such matters was
powerless to impress Secretary Alger.
Uonciiiions were daily growing more
intolerable, and the secretary of war
failed grievously to meet the situa
tion.
In this crisis, Colonel Roosevelt
displayed superb moral ccurage. lie
had the nerve to speak out sharply,
to take the initiative, and dare the
vindictive nature ot Secretary Alger,
"After Colonel Roosevelt had taken
the initiative," says the Associated
Press report from Santiago, "all the
American general officers united in
an address to General Sbafter, ex
pressing the opinion that the army
should be taken at once to some
point on the northern seaconst of the
United States."
The sharp, bold words of the dar
ing Roosevelt have accomplished
their purpose. They have bBen heard
by dull ears at Washington, and tardy
steps are now taken to save our shat
tered army at Santiago. The soldiers
will be brought back to the reviving
air of their beloved country.
But from tins hour forward Roose
velt is a marked man in the army
Alger will never forgive him tor con
victing the war department of gross
incapacity and lack of feeling. Al
ready he has struck a blow in return
by publishing through ihe Associated
Press, a confidential letter he had
received from Roosevelt, asking that
bis Rough Riders be given active ser
vice in Puerto Rico. It i3 true in this
letter Colonel Roosevelt made some
indiscreet statements, but the indis
cretions were prompted by patriotic
zeal, and he would not have written
in so frank a tone if he had suspected
that his confidential communication
would be published broadcast by
Secretary Alger.
Algers s course in this matter has
been contemptible. Roosevelt is a
distinguished hero of the war, and
the American people will not counte
nance Alger's petty warfare against
him. Others have been as courageous
upon the field of battle, but note has
shown such magnificent moral cour
age. Spokane Review.
THREE IDEAL COMMISSIONERS
A member of President McKinley's
cabinet says that Senators Davis,
Foiaker, and Lodge are likely to be
the American commissioners in the
negotiations for a final treaty of
peace with Spain. Three names more
satisfactory to the A raerican people
could hardly be mentioned. Every
one of the three senators is a thor
oughbred American; every one of
them is devoted to the welfare of this
republic; every one would enter the
peace conference with the firm pur
pose of obtaining for this country
all advantages consistent with honor.
Tf- SAnntnra ftavfa 1,i.nlj-. w1
Lodge are to be the American com
missioners the people need have no
fear that any fruits of our glorious
victory over Spain will bo sacrificed
to such day dreams as have been
incacLicu iu us recently uncier me
specious titles of "generosity" and
"humanity." A treaty drawn with
the consent of . Davis, Foraker and
Lodge would surely meet the ap
proval of the senate and the people.
As chairman of the committee on
poreign relations Cushman K. Davis
drew up the report on the Maine
disaster a state paper second to
none that has emanated' from the
senate since the foundation of the
government. Joseph B. Fcraker was
the author of the Cuban resolutions
adopted by congress, and is a man
who has never flinched before the
name of jingo and has never blushed
to be known as an aggressive Amer
ican. Henry Cabot Lodge is a pa
triot of the same school, a deep
student of history, and a clear in
terpreter of the spirit which guided
the lathers in enlarging and strength
ening the republic.
If the president appoints these
three senators, his action will receive
the approval of the American peo
ple, with the bare exception of those
persons who never have resented the
destruction of the Maine, who have
not approved of the conduct of the
war, and who are not willing to see
this country reap benefits from a- pol
icy adopted without their endorse
ment. In other words, he will please
everybody who is worth pleasing.
