CONGRESS SHOULD THANK SCHLEY

There Is now pending in the Senate
n resolution introduced by Jones of
Arkansas extending the thanks of
Congress ana OF the American people
TO Admiral Schley and the omccrs and
men under his command for highly
distinguished conduct in connlct with
the enemy. as displayed by them in III"
destruction of the Spanish fleet off
the harbor of Santiago. cuba, on July
3, 1898"
If Congress should tender the victor
of Santiago and the officers and men
under his command the THANKS Of the
Nation for the splendid triumph
over Cervera's squadron. 1t would be
a fitting even though tardy acknow-
Judgement of the services which they
rendered the country on that memoir
able occasion. 1t is the opinion OF
Admiral Dewey, the Officer of highest
rank In the Navy, that Admiral Schley
was in absolute command" in the bat
tie near Santiago and lis entitled to
the credit due such commanding officer
for the glorious victory which result
The Tucson citizen., 1901-12-27

ed In the total destruction OF the Span
ish ships" In this matter Congress
can safely accept Admiral Dewey's
Judgment as it's own and testow the
honors where they properly belong.
The recognition by Congress OF the
important services Admiral Schley has
rendered to the country is not ques-
tion upon whicn there ought to be
partisan divisions. or differences.
Democrats and republicans alike ad-
mire the valor OF the victor OF Sanu-
ago and shoulu be equally interested
in giving him the honor to which he
ls entitled Although the resolution in
troduced In the Senate was presented
by Southern Democrat, IL might have
come with equal grace from a North
ern Republican. Democrats and Re-
publcans may differ on economic and
other questions, out when 1t comes to
question of bravery anu efficiency
in battle there is only one standard
by which a naval officer can be judged.
Admiral Schiey has measured up to
this standard In a manner to challenge
the admiration OF the world. tie is ...e
Nations hero. anu Congress will make
no mistake In approving the Nations
Judgment.
1t Is suggested In Washington dis
patches that the administration is op-
posed to an investigation by Congress
of any OF the issues which the majority
opinion of the Schley court of inquiry
has left unsettled The administra-
ton may have convincing reasons for
opposing an inquiry by Congress--al-
! though much can be saia In favor of
a thorough and fearless investigation
or allegations which the naval court
of inquiry did not consider. Whatever
may be President Roosevelt's views as
regards an investigation by Congress
| 1t Is scarcely PROBABLE that he would
exert his influence against the adop-
ton of resolution rendering the
thanks of Congress and of the Ameri
can people to Admiral Schley and the
officers and men unuer his command
for their distinguished conduct In the
batl.e near San. ago.
President Roosevelt has the repnta-
ton OF being brave man. and there Is
no reason to uoubt that ne Is gener-
GUS one. A brave man, whether
President or private In the ranks, is
quick to recognize bravery in another.
Mr.. Roosevelt may not .esire an In
vestigation by Congress for the good
of the naval service 1t Is lncoEcelv-
able. however. that he would do any
thing to prevent Congress from honor
ing man who has served his country
as calamity and devotedly as las Rear
Admiral Schley.
