Mr.. Hitchcock to Stay.

mo more gratifying news has cone
out OF Washington for many day,
SAYS the New York SIM. than the
announcement that Secretary Hitch
cock is to remain at the head of the
Interior Department" Washington
echoes this acknowledgment with
loud Amen
Mr.. Hitchcock has had charge OF
the most wooden, discouraging, and
uninspiring branch of the entire
Government service. He must have
learned at the outset that he was
expected to sit, impressive but in
active. on the outside of a close cor
poration and permit the Bureau OF
Patents, the Bureau of Pensions. the
Land Office. the Bureau Of Indian
Affairs, even the Office OF the Sec
rotary. to run themselves. Precedent
has been a thing sacred in the In
terror Department, and long before
he took charge it had developed there
its two-inseparable by-produets-in-
efficiency and graft.
Even this pole barricade went
down. however. before the new Sec
retary's business methods. There
was no blowing of trumpets. The
newspapers did not bristle with dec
larations of war. But in the short
est time possible and with the least
rumble possible the no-goods and
the oo-much-gOods began to go
First an incompetent, then a CRATER,
then bad subordinate-so they went
and are still going After a little

West. or it was given out at another
department. that prosecutions had
been instituted against some polite

several hundred thousand dollars
That. like the reorganization OF

There have been changes Of methods
along with these other changes. Tnt

It IS as active. spirited. and progress

as the Bureau OF Pensions. and tn
Bureau Of Indian Affairs, have al
ready been pretty we'll reformed
And the field is spreading.
1t is no wonder Mr. Hitchcock
tempted to resign. The demands O
his private interests are large an

Interior Department are great. Blu
