SECRETARY LONGS RELATION To
THE NAVY DEPARTMENT.
Fortunate That Roosevelt IL an As
sf.tant-Sorne of the Problems for
Them to solve During the Next
Four Years.

Secretary Long has already demon

advancement OF the American navy with

Is the right man in the right place. says
a correspondent % the Boston Journal.
Without exception every secretary who
has made success OF his administration
has been one who. like Long. entered
Office without membranes in the way OF
pre-existing personal relations 20 the naval
establishment. and who maintained an at
titude OF neutrality 10 the end OF his term
as Secretary Long seems destined 20 do.
Occasionally there has been a secretary
who early in his term became attached 20
certain cliques OF factions. In every in
stance the administration OF such a one
has been full OF trouble and annoyance.
and in az least two instances resulted in
early retirement. There is no branch OF
the government service In which there is
So much OF personal politics and conniv-
ing. OF petty conspiring for preferment
and or opportunities for fayoritism. The
rank and file OF the navy. the great ma
Jority OF the officers. are brave and disin-
terested men. accepting duty as II comes
to them. and seeking only opportunity tor
faithful service. but il is inevitable that
among so many there should be some who
are rather politicians and courtiers than
seamen. and these are always conspicu-
ously In evidence. especially at the be-
ginning Of an administration when new
men and new policies. are undergoing the
test. Not the least of the qualities which
have commended the new secretary to the
majority of naval officers is the judgment
he has shown in steering clear OF all en-
tanslements.
The appointment of Theodore Roosevelt
as assistant secretary. at Gov. Longs re-
quest. was a marked triumph for those
who believe in a neutral administration
OF the department. Roosevelt was select
ed over a number of candidates. who were
almost without exception identified with
the navy in some way either by past ser
vice or by personal relations. Some OF
them were graduates from the naval
academy, and still retain the prejudices
and friendships which academy life gener-
ates- The appointment of any one OF them
would have augured Ill for an impartial
and effective administration. Roosevelt
was chosen because he was known TO be
disinterested and free from alliances and
because he could be depended on to act
In harmony with the secretary.
The navy has no need for a specialist at
its head. secretary has plenty of ex-
perts whom he can call on for advice at a

TENDERS HIS RESIGNATION.
Alderman Pearce Thinks His Duties Too Onorous to Do Justice by the City
 and His Private Business.

Alderman Pearce has rendered his res ignation as a member of the city council. MT. Pearce says that his relations with the mayor are perfectly agreeable and gives as his reasons for resigning that his private business demands his atten- tion, and that his duties as chairman of the. police board and sanitary committee are too onorous and exacting and he does not feel that he can do justice to the city and his private affairs by remaining on the board.
 Mir. Pearce is one of the most popular and efficient members of the board and Mayor Evans is averse to accepting his resignation and has promised to tighten his duties if he will consent to recon slider his determination to resign. In ydeference to the wish of the mayor MT. Pearce has taken the snatter under ad- visement.
