WASHINGTON LETTER.
From Our Regular Correspondence

Washington ID. C. April "a. 1905.
The President has made some ex-
tremely unfortunate appointments
recently. That some few unworthy
ones will secure recognition among
great number of selections which a
President is compelled to make is
the inevitable, but when such &C
cidents happen in the selection of
men for life positions on the federal
bench it is an occasion of regret for
everyone interested in the welfare
OF the Nation. Taking the appoin-
tees OF President Roosevelt as q
class and they are so much above
the average that it is only fair to as
sumo that he means to confer public
Office only on men worthy of prefer
ment, but If that DO his intention he
is occasionally badly imposed upon
and he should take heed and never
again listen to the recommendation
OF the men responsible for his mis-
takes. That he does listen to men
whom he knows have tried to foist
upon him and upon the public SER
vice unworthy officials is probably
the reason for his mistakes.
-
The latest appointment made by
the President is that of OK Governor
Atkinson of West Virginia TO the
vacancy on the Court of Claims
caused by the death of Judge Wei
don. The general comment of those
who know Mr.. Atkinson, the place
to which he has been appointed, and
who are willing to speak frankly, is
that he is "a cheap man for highly
responsible position. Those who
know politics and who seek the rea-
son for the Presidents being misled
in this instance will find the cause
without trouble. Mr.. Atkinson was
endorsed by the two Senators from
Vest Virginia. In fact, it is gener-
ally believed, that Mr.. Atkinson
owes this endorsement to the fact
that he withdrew from the last
Senatorial contest in his State in
fas0r ur cvuasUr ccuEt VINO ues,reu
20 return to the Senate for which he
Is so lily fitted.
-
OF course the Senate could reject
Mr.. Atkinson. The power to con.
firm him lies with the Senate alone,
but there are no charges to be pre-
ferred against the ex- Governor. He
is an honest man. so far as anybody
knows, and for the Senate to refuse
to confirm him would oubtless place
an unjust stigma upon him. AS to
his unfituess, witness the following:
The judicial position to which Pre-
sident Roosevelt has appointed him
is one that calls for the most expert
judicial skill, comprehensive knowI-
edge OF the law and fine ability TO
weigh legal propositions. Mr.. At
kinson began life teaching school
which he abandoned to qualify for
the Methodist ministry. Since then
he has been connected with several
newspapers and has held public of
fee almost continuously. Not more
than eight years have been devoted
to the practice of law in the ex-
Governors career since he graduat-
ed, with considerable honor, from
Howard University Law School
about 1872. In word, IL is not be.
cause he possesses a record or any
particular disabilities which would J
Saint Mary's beacon. [volume] (Leonard Town, Md.) 1867-1983, 1905-04-27

debar him from the bench. but be-
cause he lacks those qualities es-
pecially experience. which every
prominent member Of the judiciary
should possess.
Another instance Of President
Roosevelt's being misled In regard
to the character Of man heappoint-
ed to the bench is that Of Judge
Wickersham Of Alaska. Judge
Wickersham has been attacked in
the Senate, not on personal grounds
but because there are certain things
In his record which seem 70 demon
strate his unfitness for the position
TO which the President has appoint
ed him. The Senate has thus far
failed to confirm Judge Wickersham
and he will be compelled to come 10
Washington and answer charges be-
fore the Senate Judiciary committee
next fall. IL he is unable satisfac-
torily TO refute these charges he
will not be confirmed at all, al
though be viii have served sconsid-
cradle time under the recess ap-
pointment.
-.
Still another instance of an un-
fortunate appointment, although one
OF less importance. has recently
como 20 light. For some unexplain-
ed reason the President has con-
ferred q consul-generalship on a
newspaperman utterly unfit for the
place. The American consulate In
a section far from q United States
embassy or legation should be a
source of refuge and comfort to
Americans travelling abroad. but
such is certain not to be the case
with the consulate to which this man
has been appointed. He is not only
not the right sort" Of man to hold
such an Office, but he is addicted to
the abuse of liquor and all who
know him confidently expect that
he will prove q source of annoyance
and modification to all Americans
who have occasion to transact bust
ness with his Office, or TO visit the
city to which he is appointed.
-
As already indicated, these err
rors of judgment or mistakes in
character are the result of the Pre-
sident's listening to the recommeda-
tions of men whom he knows to be
guided by any impulse rather than
the proper ones, the credit of their
country and their party. For in
stance he still appoints men on the
recommendation of Senator Plat of
New York although in one instance
three of the most prominent men,
bers OF the Senate were compelled
to go to the White House and make
representations regarding a man
appointed to high Office on Platt =
recommendation, which resulted in
the Presidents Immediately with
drawing the nomination. In anoth.
er instance, the President promised
to appoint a man to an important
position in Washington on Platt's
urging. Prominent members of the
Senate went to the White House and
told the President the man could
not be trusted. The President was
compelled to break his promise and
yet the President has this spring
appointed this man to an important
consular position. 1t must be ad-
mitted that in the main the Presi-
dents appointees are fit men, but
that he will occasionally make
grevious errors as long as he heeds
the urging of politicians who have
demonstrated their responsibility
and their willingness to recommend
men who are certain to bring dis
credit on his administration canno
