pEsERTIoN OF WALLACE.

OF WALhFa(h
Secretary Tafts sharp rebuke Of Chief
Engineer Wallace for leaving the servl e
of his country to accept a 100000 private
position is taken as a text for edItorla
comment by the Wall Street %Journal.
Under the caption, rs 1t Desertion?.
the Journal draws the fol ow.ng compar
ison:
s.If. at the beginning of 1864, Genera
Grant, having been put in OF
the national army and having .actua y
begun his campaign, had sudden y re-
signed to become president of a railroad
at a sa' airy two or three times as much
as that which this government was pay
ing, the judgment of the word wou d
unquestionably have been that Genera
Grant was a deserter-indeed, a traitor
to his country"
Is Mr.. Wa'lace's case in any way like
this presumed case of General Grant
Had he a moral right to resign, or will
he be regarded as a deserter?
America today demands sacrifices on
the part of its pub ic servants. What l.
demanded in 1864 of General Grant it
demanded of Mr.. Wallace. The du les
which it had conferred upon him were to
a .arge extent honorary and confidential
The prestige of the nation was in a pecu
liar manner in his hands for better O.
for worse. He owed it to the govern
ment to do nothing mat would d'sconc TT
its p ans or bring the enterprise into dis
favor and ridicu!e.
How did Mr.. Wallace play his part?
Twelve days after his arriva. at the
scene of his duties he found that com
plicated business matters demanded his
return. And he returned to accept a po
sition that carried a greater salary. For
money he changed his position, with
out thought of the nations embarrass-
ment, when the engineering force on the
isthums were eft without a real head
and when his own department was in d
state Of chaos and Reorganization.
Great fame attached to his office, but
also. as Secretary Taft pointed out, grea
responsibility. For the sake of gain h
abandoned both. He was in the mao
rush for monty, and all other consldera-
tions were cast aside. Assured,y sucn
actions canno but leave the stigma OF
desertion. Mr.. Wallace was not true to
his trust.
