ROOSEVELT IS MUCH PLEASED
CONVICTIONS IN POSTAL CASE
 GRATIFYING TO HIM.
Personally Congratulate. Postmasssr General Payne on tho Work Done Corruption Mast Not Go unpunished Although 1t is Impossible 10 Expect That Frauds wnI Not occasIonalIy Occur In Any Governments.

Washington, Feb. 2S.-The president yesterday sent the following letter to Postmaster General Payne:
 Feb. 27, 1904. My Dear MT. Postmaster General:
 While all the work of the postoffice department and the department of jus tice in connection with the postal frauds is not yet over, there is already to the credit of the departments, and there fore primarily to your credit such an amount of substantive achievement that I take this opportunity to con gratulate you personally upon it. It is impossible to expect that corruption will not occasionally occur in any gov ernment; the vital point is the energy, the fearlessness and the efficiency with which such corruption is cut out and the corruptionists punished. The suc- cess of the prosecutions in this case, as compared with previous experiences in prosecuting government officials who have been guilty of malfeasance or mis- feasance is as noteworthy as 1t is grati- flying and must be a source of encour- agement to all men who believe in de- cency and honesty in public life.
 What has been accomplished by you, by those who have worked under you in your department, and by the depart ment of justice rebounds to the credit of our whole people and is signal tri- umph for the cause of popular govern ment. If corruption goes unpunished in popular government, then govern ment by the people will ultimately fail; and they are the best friends of the people who make 1t evident that whoever in public office or in connec- tion with public office, sins against the fundamental laws of civic and social well being, will be punished with un- sparing rigor.
 Sincerely yours,
 Theodore Roosevelt.

Commander Diehl is Of German de-
scent and throughout his naval ca
reer, which began when he was APP
pointed to the naval academy in 1869
from Pennsylvania. he has been cred
tied with cool Judgment and great
ability. He was assigned to duty in
Washington in 1887 as superintend-
ent of compasses and remained until
1889. He again performed that duty
in 1897 and 1898. Having served in
the meantime on the Detroit, the Ma
chias and the Cincinnati. he was en-
gagged in special service on the Buff
falo during the Spanish-American
war, and after the war he returned
to Washington again as superintend-
ent of compasses.
Captain Lemly, the retiring judge
advocate general, was at the Naval
academy at the same time as Com
mander Diehl. He was born in North
Carolina and was appointed to the
academy from that state. He served
on the Atlantic station from 1872 to
1876, on the Essex from 1875 to 1879,
on the Palos from 1881 to 1888, and
subsequently on the European sta
ton. He was appointed Judge advo-
cate general of the navy IL years
ago. AS judge advocate of the Schley
court of inquiry Captain Lemly was
much criticized by adherents of Rear
Admiral Schley and was caricatured
from one end of the country to the
other. but his conduct of the case
was regarded by the authorities as
of high order of excellence.

new JUDGE ADVOCATE
GENERAL OF THE navy

WASHINGTON, June As a re-

which he represented the United
States with the gunboat Marietta at
La Guayra while the warships of
England, Germany and Italy were
bloekading and bombarding the
Venezuelan coast in December, 1902.
Commander S. W. B. Diehl becomes
Judge advocate general of the navy
in succession to Captain S. c. Lem
ly, whose term in that important po-
sition expired today.
The selection of Commander Diehl
was somewhat of surprise to naval
circles as his name had never been
mentioned in connection with the
place. He had more of reputation
as an all around capable officer, with
a speciality for compass work, than
as a lawyer He is the author Of a
standard work on the deviation of
the compass needle.
During the Venezuela imbroglio the
little Marietta was the only Ameri-
can warship in Venezuelan waters,

rem RICE WRITES
OF THE VICE
CRUSADE

Rem Rice, the we'll known Spokane
newspaper man on the staff of the
Spokesman Review, has written an ar
ticle entitled "Spokane's War With
Vice." which appears in the June
Pacific Monthly, published at Portland.
1t is clear cut. graphic account of
the recent crusade. 1t is illustrated
with good cuts of Dutch jake" the
"boss of Spokane's tenderloin," Of
DR.. George r. Wallace, who "opened
the crusades in a series of sensational
Sunday night sermons. in which con-
diticns in Spokane were painted in
deepest red, where vice stalked ram
pant and unchecked, and corruption
seemed imbedded in the heart of the
government; of Mayor Boyd, "who
occupied a middle ground;" of Police
Magistrate J. d. Hinkle, of Acting
Chief of Police James A. Coverly and
of the Occur d'Alene theater, "the
most notorious of Spokane's gilded
haunts of vice, the best known variety
house west of the Mississippi"
Condition About the Same.
Mr.. Rice says: "From center to
circumference the city was stirred and
then the agitation subsidized as sud-
denly as it arose, leaving the city,
to all appearances, very much as be-
fore" He then gives a panorama view
of the progress of the crusade which
reached the climax with the two mass
meetings. In closing Mr.. Rice says:
he intnraSf
suddenly waned. The public had
grown tired of seeing soiled linen al
ways hung on the line, and the news
papers began to devote less space to
the crusade. The spasm of morality
was rapidly ebbing, despite an occa-
sional statement that the crusade was
to be continued indefinitely. Mayor
Boyd's original plan was in effect and
the landlords and ministers were ready
to bury the Ratchet.
Quickly old conditions were restored
as the crusaders made no further eff
forts to prosecute reform. There is
not much difference between the moral
aspect of Spokane of six months ago
and the present time. Merchandise
slot machines are still running. PIT
vate gambling games go on unmolested
Pool rooms have big play. Boxes for
the accommodation of men and their
female companions are found in saloons
The variety theaters quietly permit
the solicitation of drinks by women.
Immoral women occupy the upper
floors in the restricted district and
their number is not lessened.
"And the average Spokane citizen
asks, "What has been gained by the
vice crusade?"
