Arizona republican., 1901-12-17

The action of the president yesterday in appointing Isaac T. Stoddard to be secretary of Arizona was always pre- dicted as a certainty by everybody hav- ing any knowledge of the political affairs of the territory. Mir. Stoddard was appointed in the congressional re- cess by President Mckinley, and he has performed the duties of his office in an honorable and acceptable manner. There was no reason for considering any change in the office. and no change was at any time contemplated by the administration. but it became necessary for the secretary to expose the selfish motives back of the flimsy charges" made against him. Associate Justices
 Sloan, Davis and Doan were reappoint- ed to their respective positions last week, Surveyor General Price was ap- pointed a few days before. and doubt
 less the name of United States Marshal McCord will be sent to the senate shortly. Sensational newspapers of the territory which have sought to make

The British government seems to have come to the conclusion that the critics of it's treatment of Boer wo- men and children have ground for their charges, and that it is useless to pre- tend longer that the concentration camps are health resorts and abodes of happiness. Lord Onslow. speaking for the colonial office. announces the transfer of control of the camps from military to civil authorities. promises that no expense shall be spared in inn proving the sanitary conditions and that Roers who wish to do so may go to the coast. and says the larger camps are being broken up. The suits brought by the niece of Lord Hobhouse against the officials who expelled her from South Africa for exposing the horrors of the death camps probably had some influence in bringing the government to its senses

news of alleged attacks upon the sec retary, the surveyor-general. the judges, the governor and other federal officials of good repute are now left 10 square themselves with their readers the best they can. However. but few people have been misled by the various allegations. There remains only the case of Judge Street to dispose of by reason of charges, and that case will be finally disposed of early next month It is understood that the chief justice. whose term expires in March next, will rot be a candidate for reappointment, but in any case his complete vindica- ton from all aspersions on his charac- ter may be confidently expected.

PHOENIX. ARIZONA, DEC. F. 1901

And now the navy oureaucrats are taking of "disciplining" Admiral Dewey
 for presining to render REFORM a minority verdict ex- NEEDED. onerating Schley. The
 navy department is a shining example of the evils of red tape. Through a system of giving important life berths in that department to men over whom the secretary exercises only a nominal control. and by building up a system of ''regulations' and prece- dents, and by the natural development of selfish cliques. the navy. apparently. has passed into the control of officers who are altogether out of touch with public. sentiment. When Theodore Roosevelt became assistant secretary he found the executive machinery of the department hampered by red tape until important initiative action was almost impossible. He did much to cut away the mummy-clothes. and Secre- tary Long has done what he could in the same direction. bur there is plenty of reformatory work yet to be done. Some years ago congress. in moment of unusual sanity, appointed commits sion to overhaul the treasury depart ment and recommend o system of mod ern business methods. The president of the Atchison. Topeka & Santa Fe rail- road was called in as an expert adviser. and in the end a pretty thorough reformation was effected in the admin istration of the affairs of the treasury. It would do great deal of good if there could be a similar shaking up of the dry bones in the navy department. The Introduction of up to-date methods of doing business would cause the re- tirement of a number of bureau chiefs who have come to look upon the navy as their property and the officers of the navy as their personal servants It is not at all pleasing to the American peo- pie to think of gallant Admiral Dewey being subjected to petty annoyances from insolent and self-important un- derstrappers. S..
