The appointment of Judge T.. w.
Wells of Prescott to fiji the vacancy
caused by the resignation of Attorney
General Ainsworth was happy selec-
tior. Judge Wells is splendidly equip
ped for the duties of the office from Il
professional standpoint. and the intim-
ate friendship which has long existed
between him and the governor especial
ly qualities him to act as the legal ad-
wiser of the executive. 1t is also a wise
selection because Prescott was entitled
to the honor of one of the chief terri
torial offices. Judge Wells has been Il
leading citizen of Prescott and Il great
force in the development of Yavapai
county from the early days. If, in MAX
ing any further appointments, Cover
nor Brodie exercises the same good
judgment, he will never have occasion
to apologize for any of his selections.

ment for these vessels could be done
by officers attached to the bureau of
construction, who in any event must
inspect and report upon the entire war
ships. But this is not the bureaucratic
method. There must be inspection by

gent from the bureau of equipment
and, finally, a review in detail and

branch of the service, has frankly ad-
mitted, but this would by no means

As in the case of all great inventions,
there is serious dispute and litigation
over the authorship Of wireless teleg-
raphy. The claims of Marconi and the
validity of his patents have been
fiercely attacked in Europe, as we'll as in
the United States, and a sensational
turn has been given to the controversy
by notice published in the official
journal of the English patent office. in
which Marconi seeks to amend his ap-
plicatiCn, heretofore granted, by con-
verting it into an application for pat
ent for an invention communicated to
him by Marquis Luigi Solari of Italy.
Marconi's formal admission that he
did not invent the wireless telegraph
will detract greatly from the honor
heretofore accorded the young man,
but it cannot be denied that it was his
tireless experimenting which brought
the invention into practical use. In
any event. what the world is most in
terested in is the question of how soon
the invention will be sufficiently per-

Mr.. Moody, the new secretary of the
navy. is evidently a man of courage.
He lays it down that
SENDING the scores of naval Off

such a policy than to carry it out, how
ever. First it will be necessary to re-
wise a mass of regulations which pro-
vide for bureaus" and boards in
Neutrality-suspicious. devices Tor fur
nishing a pretext for shore duty. Sec
ond. he will have to meet and over
come the OPPOSITION of the officers who
have been filling the soft berths. That
this opposition is not to be despised,
many of Secretary Moody's predeces-
sors have learned to their sorrow. The
truth is, that for many years the navy
department has been so thoroughly
dominated by the bureaucrats that the
secretary has been a mere figurehead.
Any secretary who seeks to work a
radical reform in this regard is likely
to find himself defeated and his own
place insecure.
1t is a safe prediction now. that with
ina few months certain class of
newspapers will be filled with vague
hints and more or less plausible stor-
les. rejecting on Mr.. Moody's fitness
for his post. The bureacrats have a
well organized system for working the
press
Mr.. Moody was led to take his bold
position in favor of sending the shore
officers back to sea when he found that
we are turning out war vessels so
rapidly that there are not officers and
men to man them. If the new pro-
gramme can be carried out it will cor
rect in a small measure the evil for
which congress, primarily,is responsible.
The naval committees in congress vote
away millions of public money fol
war ships, but never a dollar for Off
GERS and men to man the new vessels.
The engines are there, but no firemen
or engineers. This vicious policy OF
building ships for which no officers or
crews have been provided has contin-
ued ever since the construction of the
new navy began, nearly twenty years
ago.
In his efforts to secure man-o'-war's
men for men O. war the chief of the
navy has been constrained to rur
counter to no end of bureaucratic ira,
ditions AS already stated, it is no
on record that any secretary of the
navy has heretofore set at naugh
these traditions and survived as a pc
litical entity; but Mr.. Moody is daring
experienced and careless of bureau
cratic opinion. and may prove, aftel
ALL glittering exception to the rule
that civilian naval secretaries are bu
the tools of allied chiefs of department
bureaus. An opportunity for disclosing
his proposed methods, and at the same

resentative in Congress from that state,
mustered the department 1t was incor-

five circles and 4 membership Of 1S5. The
Department of Iowa has had a hard strug-
gle for it's life. for various reasons, but the
untiring zeal of its patriotic women has
brought it through the hard places and 1t
is now held in high estimation by the Grand
Army of the Republic and the people
There are now nineteen circles in the de-
partment and a membership of $50. The
Ladies of the Grand Army of the Republic
Of the Department of Iowa have done
great many things for the Soldiers Home
of the state. They have presented a beau

many cushions for easy chairs for the hos

SEVENTEENTH CORPS.
Survivors Of the Organization Ad-
dressed by Gen. Raum.

Sherman tent, Camp Roosevelt, was as
signed to the 18th Army Corps last evening.
the survivors Of the organization who are
now in this city holding thoroughly en-
joyable reunion there. Captain H. w.
Brelsford presided and General Green B.
Raum delivered the principal address.
After divine blessing had been invoked by
Rev. DR.. George w. Honey, chaplain of the
4th Wisconsin Regiment, Captain Brelsford
extended a welcome to his comrades. A
drum corps, composed Of veterans, then
rendered selection and Miss Chaville Ru-
nails of New York city recited "Old Glory
with excellent effect.
In presenting Gen. Raum the presiding
officer remarked that the general was a
comrade who certainly needed no introduce
ton.
81 firmly believe that the Almighty held
the western hemisphere in reserve for the
planting here in America of a great repub-
hc," declared Gen. Raum. He went on to
show how the spirit of liberty grew up and
how in the course of time it determined the
people to throw off the British yoke. The
speaker also referred at some length to the
manner in which the Americans followed
out the idea that all men are created equal.
The 18th Army Corps did its duty at all
times, so Gen. Raum declared. 1t was al
ways in a state of preparedness, better
| than was any other army corps with which
it came in contact. 1t took it's inspiration
from Gen. J. B. Mcpherson, the great SOL
der who was at its head. The members Of
the corps were ready to follow Mcpherson
right into the jaws of death, Gen. Raum
said. Continuing, the speaker went into
the details of the attack which the 18th
Corps made on Vicksburg, and the notably
excellent fighting it did there.
A score or more Of the veterans present
at the reunion raised their hands when
Gen. Raum inquired How many of you
witnessed the blowing up Of Fort HIP"
An equal number testified to witnessing the
raising of the white flag by the confederate
commander over Vicksburg.
THE 18th Corps" remarked Gen. Raum,
deserves a large share of the credit for
the taking of that great southern strong
hold"
In the course Of his remarks Gen. Raum
paid tribute to Gen. Frank Blair and a
particularly strong one to Gen. Logan.
The Atlanta campaign. said the speaker,
was one of the most brilliant series Of
engagements in the history Of the world.
Nearly every veteran in the tent admitted
that he had marched through Georgia.
Gen. Raum concluded by saying, You
have assisted in saving this great republic
and I don't think Congress has done enough
for the old soldier. Every one should re-
ceive service pension"
The assembly dispersed after giving three
hearty cheers for Gen. Raum.
