Alvey A. Adee.

There are few men in public life today
who deserve greater recognition than
Alvey A. Adee, the acting secretary OF
state. He has devoted more than a
generation of life to the diplomatic SER
vice. unselfishly and without thought
of the personal recognition that belongs
to him. For 20 years he has been the
wheel-horse of the state department,
under five administrations. always alert,
always keen, always fortified by his
erudition in diplomatic usage and
technique. He has served his country
without thought of personal reward.

Judgment that can be accorded to di-

Alaskan boundary controversy between

though he is one of the best Informed
men on foreign affairs in the United
states, he has especially devoted his in
telligence to a study of the boundary
question in the far Northwest. and his
capacity in that work stands for our
prestige in this dispute with friendly

is that every important claim made by

ROJEsTVEN SKY.

There seems to be a good deal of the
hero in Admiral Rojestvensky after all.
If he actually said what is attributed
to MIN he cannot fail but arouse the
admifat ton of the American people, at
least, for the American people like a
man who is game.
These words are attributed to the
Russian admiral: You will not hear
from me till after the battle. If [ am
defeated, Togo will give you the partic-
ulars: if 1 win, I will send them my
self"
1t is possible that this was the work
of an active press agent with an eye
appreciative of the drama of the situa-
ton in the far east. but if these words
and this sentiment are actually Ro-
jestvensl1y's. he is a great man.
When the Russian admiral made that
uncalled for mistake of firing on a
British fishing fleet in the North sea
and made the excuse that he thought
it was a japanese squadron, the world
pronounced him an incompetent ninny
That is why the brave words just at
tributed to him off the coast of East
ern Asia seem improbable. It may be-
however, that Admiral Rojestvensky 5
experience with the British fishing feet
served to arouse him to the necessity
Of great action on his part and he is
now looking for a chance to retrieve
himself.
If the rest of the Russian fleet is i'm
bued with this same spirit, Togo may
meet his match. The outcome will tell.
Old General Stoessel. the defender of
Port Arthur, has been written by his
tory as a hero, and Rojestvenslzy may
be of the same timber

HocHs ADVISORY CO8INnTTEE

HocH's ADVISORY COMMITTEE.
Governor Hoch appears to be anx-
ious to make the state treasury ex-
animation thorough and reliable.
With this end in view he has selected
an advisory committee which, while
not contemplated in the law provid-
ing for the examination. win be 8. val
liable aid to the governor.
Judge Clark, speaker pro tenn of the
house of representatives, made a
reputation during the recent session
of the legislature as a man of high
order of intelligence as we'll as for
fairness and good judgment. Judge
Benson of Ottawa, like Judge Clark,
was one of the prominent figures in
the house and was known not only as
the most logical debator on the floor
but a man who was quick to discern
a legal complication and ready to
offer a solution. He is recognized as
one of the most careful, fearless and
able lawyers in the state-just such
a man as is qualified to supervise the
treasury examination without fear Of
giving offense or losing votes. Samuel
T. Howe. the other member Of the
advisory committee has proven his
worth in a long residence in the state,
q. great portion of the time as d pub
lie officer. He certainly knows the
Importance of an honest public ca
reer and the need of officials who will
not betray a public trust. He served
with credit to himself and the state as
state treasurer for two terms and
ought to be in a position to under
stand the details and routine Of the
Office.
It is a disgrace to the state that the
condition of the treasury has been
ignored by political leaders and by
the men who are charged by law with
protecting the state. The people who
pay the taxes and who believe in
honest public officials have a right to
demand that the treasury examination
be conducted without considering
whether any faction of political
party is to be injured or benefited.
The people are entitled to the truth
and the sooner they have it the bet
ter-the examination has already
been too long delayed.
