Secretary Hitchcock.

Ethan Allen Hitchcock is a modest
gentleman who does not seek pub
licity and has never during his long
Cabinet service undertaken TO inn
press himself on the general poll
cies of the Government. He has de-
voted himself TO the administration
of the huge department whose head
he is. There has been nothing in his
policies that was picturesque, strik-
ing, or appealing to the Imagination.
Yet, on the eve of his departure
from the Cabinet, Mr.. Hitchcock is
being showered with expressions of
enthusiastic commendation from all
parts of the country, from men of
all parties, from the press without
regard to views on particular issues.
Secretary Hitchcock has in the full
est and most emphatic way made
good with public opinion He has
convinced everybody that he is the
persistently, PeTtinaciously honest
man, working hard at the business
of being honest in the face of al
most hopeless discouragements, and
in an environment which it is not
unfair 10 say, too often makes the
line of least resistance anything but
the straight and narrow path of
duty.
Secretary Hitchcock found before
be had long been in Office that the
great domain of Uncle Sam was still
being looted right and left, as it had
been for decade after decade before
his time. The precedents were prece-
dents of loot, of graft, of favoritism
TO interests other than the public's.
He went 10 work and kept at work
TO break down the system; and te
is garnering results. There is uni
versal expression of regret that he
is not to remain and finish his great
task.
There has been just one notable
discord in the chorus of commenda-
tion of the Secretary's good work.
That came from the special Senate
committee which decided he had vio-
lated a law when he withdrew a
great area of lands from private en-

Telling the Whole Truth.

Every public man who has ever de-
MED being a candidate for Presi-
Dental nomination has done so with
IA reservation. America has never
yet produced a man of affairs so in
dependent of the regard of MS coun-
trymen that he would decline To
lead either of the two great parties
if the platform permitted.
Wherefore il is refreshing to
read Secretary Taft's frank avowaI
Of the reservation. As truly as any
other man whose bent is in another
direction, he does not seek the
honor. AS surely as any other man
who has political perception, he sees
his disadvantage in Ohio. There are
two good reasons why he is not a
candidate. But if the nomination
should come he viii not decline.
Nor would anyone else.

Parks for AnacOS ia.

AnacOStia citizens have called the
attention of the Commissioners to
a just claim of that community upon
the District government. 1t is that
Fort Stanton should be preserved
as a park. The subdivisions great
need for the reclamation of the fats
In the Eastern Branch has lOomed so
high that most of their neighbors
have net noted the similarly import
ant need for parks.
At present there IS no improved
parking within the town boundaries
excepting alone the spaces between
the foot pavements and the road
way. When the settlement was
plated, a reservation was made for
a market space and that ground is
now a fair common" Otherwise.
there is nothing TO indicate that
Anacos1ia has become a part of the
National Capital and a sharer in it's
splendid system of parks.
The ruins of Fort stanton have
unaffected sentimental interest for
the whole District. They are in
danger of being obliterated as the
town grows into the county. The
public health and good business
Judgment alike re-enforce this SEN
timental consideration and add
weight 10 the suggestion that the
site be preserved before il is too
late. But Anacostia needs more
than that. It's eitizens should not
rest their labors until the old mark

a reviving source of fresh and pure
air, and an inspiration 10 beauty in

AMERICAN CLAIMS TO HEAD

Says He Is Descendant of Robert II,

LONDON. Dec. 29.-The Earldom OF

than 200 years, is disputed by two claim
ants from America one is a former
operator in wall Street. Barclay Altar

CaSSatt and Hill.

On the day of President Cassatt's
death announcement was made,
definitely and with a date fixed, of
the intended retirement of James
J. Hill. To take these two heroic
figures out of the arena in which
they have played such important
parts is TO make certain an early
reorganization of the most ele-
mental relations among the trans
portatiOn and financial powers of
this country.
Mr.. Hill has been 10 the North
west what Mr.. Cassatt has been to
the East. Without injustice to Sir
William Van Horne, founder of the
new empire of western Canada. or
Mr.. Hartman, putative head of the
Union Pacific dynasty, il is not un-
fair to say that Hill and Cassatt
were this continents two greatest
masters of the transportation bust
ness. Mr.. Cassatt died in harness.
Mr. Hill, at almost exactly the same
age which brought the end TO Cas-
s1tt, announced his purpose to get
ont of active management of his
properties.
Here were two men whose per
sonalities and genius developed,
dominated, and directed what were,
perhaps, the two most legitimately
managed of the great railroad sys-
TENS. There was less attention to
financial manipulation, and more at
.ention to hauling freight and pas
sengerS in these two systems than
in any others OF like rank Hill and
Cassatt were men who could see
into the future One built into
desert and made an empire. The
other, with no less prescience, unified
and consolidated the greatest indus
trial road, and by heroic methods
forced its expansion on scale as
suring it's adequacy 10 meet the de-
mands of the most wonderful indus
trial development the world has
ever seen.
Both these men have been tireless
workers; both famed for intimate
1owledge OF the details of their
.ations. Successors viii be

There is no comparison between the
dues Of the negro and that OF the Jap
anese or Chinese.
No nation on the globe would have
opened wide her doors and avenues for
the acquisition or knowledge of all
kinds as has the United States to Jap
fnese and Chinese. TO say nothing OF
the friendship extended 10 Japan in her
war with Russia, the time-honored
friend Of the United States. and il Is
% be hoped that after a little reflection

graceless thing in them 20 demand un-
reasonable recognition.
Fair-minded people must agree that
great progress has been made in the
negro question in the South, and II il
were possible to raise up a few more
such leaders for the cOlOred race as

this problem would be reached at an
early date. There is 80 doubt that the
men of wisdom Of both the black and
white races will eventually agree upon

A Few Corrections.

The esteemed New York Sun has
looked the country over, finds it
in bad way, and blames Theodore
+ Roosevelt. 1t finds that "class is
arrayed against class" We would
expect the Sun, with its repute for
cleverness, to do better-that ex-
preston is so frayed and worn, so
ineffective as a bogy!
| The Sun says relations between
employer and employed are de-
stroyed and enmity and hatred have
taken their place" This in the clos
ing days of year when labor dis
turbances have been almost I'M
known and when nheard-of in
ereases in wages have been given
voluntarily!
The Sun says "the rich are held up
to universal execration and are as
sailed in the pillory which Mr..
Roosevelt has built for them" Let
that be amended to say "the preda-
tory rich" and it viii be true-and
viii need no apology.
The Sun says ''all over the land
there is impatience with the law
and intolerance of judges" Impa-
thence with the delays, not the ex-
ecutiOn, of the law; intolerance of
the technicalism of judges. not of
their administration of their duties;
impatience ana intolerance which
prove desire to make this a more
law-abiding community, not less.
Again: THE constituted authors
ities are set at defiance" Too much,
it is true; but less and less from
year TO year.
Men chafe at the restraints
which are the safeguards of lib
eTty." Bosh!
Labor, earning rewards hereto
fore undreamed of, is discontented
and uHruly." Everybody knows Ia
Dor is more contented, less unruly,
than within a decade.
1T is more than ever the prey Of
the innumerable agitators whose
trade is to dehauch and plumber it,"
The Sun should recall its own re-
joicings over the failure of the Com
pers incursion into politics. What
il said in that connection and what
is here quoted cannot both be true.
ut Qaborl is losing its habit of
thrift and industry and its wages
turn from a blessing TO a curse"
Perhaps the soup-house is the Suns
ideal basis for thrift and sanity
among laborers. Instead of being a
curse, the wages of labor are giving
a larger proportion of people COM
Portable living than in many years.
As to thrift-well, at present prices
of necessaries of life it isn't Just
easy. As TO incentive for it, the in
fiuence of effete and Haunting
riches, for which the sun has so
much concern, is hardly helpful TO
development of lofty ideals.
With these few trihing eorrec-
tions. the statements upon which
the sun predicates it's eloquent APP
peal for less turbulence and siren
uousness in the head of the state,
may be accepted as not wholly in
accurate.

he had no power to do such thing.
The committee was technically
right, probably; but Secretary
Hitchcock has the undivided sup
port, none the less, OF that very
large proportion of people who
know he was right in principle if
not in detail, and who are more
concerned for results than for the
methods by which they are accom-
plisbed. If the Secretary didn't have
legal authority to withdraw those

had it, and gentlemen who have had

which he is hampered are the last

ILOOK TO SCIENCE
By Ella Wheeler Wilcox

look to Science for the cure of crime;
To patient righting of thousand wrongs
To final healing of thousand ills.
Blind runner now, and cruel egotist,
It yet leads to more than mortal sight,
And the large knowledge that means humbleness
And tender love for all created things.
I look to Science for the Coming Race,
Growing from seed selected and from soil
Love fertilized and pruned by Wisdom's hand,
Till out of mortal men spring demi- gods,
Strong, primal creatures, with awakened soulg
And normal passions, governed by the will,
Leaving a trail of glory where they tread
/ look to Science for the growth of faith.
That bold Denier of accepted Creeds-
That mighty Doubter of immortal truths
Shall yet reveal Gods secrets to the world
And prove the facts it seeks TO overthrow.
And new name shall Science henceforth wear
The great religion Of the Universe.
