Washington standard. [volume] (Olympia, Wash. Territory) 1860-1921, 1902-04-04

Congress has provided that there
shall be Secretary of War, who is the
head of department having great re-
sponsibilities and high and important
ministerial duties, but it is not neces-
sary that he should be qualified nor is
it possible for him to properly exercise
personal control over the military
establishment"
"In the bill under consideration it
is proposed to abolish entirely the
corps OF inspectors, who have been
most instrumental in keeping the
army up to its high character and eff
cheney and in discovering defalcations,
inefliciency and maladministration."
This is a veiled criticism of the scan.
dals in the transport service ard the
commissary department. during the
war with Spain.
"The proposed plan is but an effort
to adopt and foster. in a Republican
form Of government such as ours, q
system peculiarly adapted to mon.
arches having immense standing ar
mics. 1t would seem to Germanize
and Russianize the small army of the
United States" said the General.
Here is hit at the scheme to oust
Miles and put some other officer in his
place:
i can see no good purpose in en-.
acting it into law, unless it be to
evince the intent OF Congress that they
do not desire that the senior general
officer shall be chief of staff, and indi.
cate that they expect him to be as.
signed to some department and some
other officer detailed to the position
OF chief of staff, with the rank of Lieu.
tenant.G General, and changed, perhaps
every four years."
Here is very palpable hit at the
practice of taking up young officers,
such as General Wood, and investing
them with high military honors by the
jumping process:
"Section five seems to provide for
the increase of one Najor-General and
one Brigadier.G General, such selections
to be made from the officers of the
army at large, regardless of their
rank; thus a lieutenant or captain
may, through influence or favoritism,
be advanced over their deserving sen.
iors.
"If such system be adopted, would
not these details to desirable positions
be sought by ambitious and scheming
men? And would not the appoint
ments be the result of social, religious
and political intrigue? In my opin-
ion, the adoption of such q system
would be fraught with great danger to
the service"
This comes very near a bold criti-
cism of some Presidential acts in re-
cent years.
Epitomizing the bill. General Miles
said: at seems to me you are throw
ing the door wide open for future
autocrat or a military despot. 1t is
not, in my judgment, in accordance
with the principle or theory of demo.
cratic government and for the best in.
terests of the army. which has existed
more than hundred years and full

GEN. MILES AHEAD.
PEG ONE FOR THE DOUGHTY
MAN OF WAR.

There Is Nothing in the Statement Made to
Congressional Committee at Which Admin
istration Can Take Offense Some Thrust.
at the Secretary Of War. but General Enough
to Be Strictly in Order or
ficial Family Has BIundered in Discussing
Mere Rumor.
A Washington special of the Oath
ult. says that it is almost the universal
opinion there that the President and
the Cabinet will tomorrow decline
to take official cognizance of the state.
ment made by General Miles before
the Senate Military Committee.
General Miles appears to have won a
victory over the Administration.
The action OF the Cabinet in discus
sing his case at all is regarded as un-
fortunate for the Cabinet for two rea-
sons:
First, because it took cognizance of
reports from the capitol which were
only rumors; and second, because it
practically made case against Gen.
eral Miles which the House would ex-
pect to have settled by official declara-
ton.
Had the Cabinet any proof that
General Miles criticised the President
the General could have been held un-
der the rule of the army which charac-
terizes such conduct as prejudicial to
good order and discipline.
The statement of General Miles has
been given out. 1t contains nothing
at which the President could take Of
fense and it does not show what it is
alleged to contain.
1t is on this record that the Cabinet
must stand.
The statement, however, is princi-
pally remarkable for several keen
thrusts at the Secretary OF War which
are so put that General Miles cannot
be held responsible for them, even if
they were not declared to be privileged
by the committee.
Here are some of the thrusts that
are obviously intended for the Secre-
tarv of War.

CUMBERLAND.

This morning there was another small
strike at the mills OF the Samoset COM
pauy on the Valley Falls side OF the
Blackstone river. when about 10 of the
employees OF the carding room OF No. 2
mill left their work because OF dssatis-
faction with the wage schedule paid. The
strike necessitated the idleness OF about
the same number of the operatives OF
other departments. The management of
the mills do not look upon the strike as
being a serious matter and expect an
early adjustment of the trouble.
