The Ss.cretary's rugged honesty and
'unsweryable determination to weed
out the despoilers and the grafters
who are looting the agricultural and
timber lands of the west have called
forth many high enconiums from
thoughtful people who have followed
his course. No public official has
taken more literally to heart the
strong expressions against public land
grabbing Of the President in his an
nual message to Congress.

Closely connected with the land
question in the west is the irrigation

Mitchell, of Oregon. Yet there is no
body of men on earth which is great
er stickler for ceremony governed by
precedent than is the United States
Senate. But the Mitchell case pre-
sented unique situation. The official
recognition of the death of a Senator
is always a solemn and affecting pro-
ceeding, but even the usual funeral
rites were omitted in this instance.
The Oregon Senator had been convict
ed of grave crime against the gov
ernment. Excepting Senator Burton,
of Kansas, no other members or the
Senate has ever had to face criminal
court trial. The Senate has expelled
members and has often exercised Its
constitutional prerogative of unseating
Senator, but with the two exceptions
above stated. it has never been con
frrnted with such situation as was
forced upon the public attention by
Senators from Oregon and Kansas.
The President, who Is the
President of the Senate, did not ap,
point the usual committee to attend
the funeral held in Portland. ore
Senator Fulton. the sole representative
of Oregon left in Congress, had intend
ed presenting brief resolution, re,
citing the death of his colleague, ana
asking that the Senate adjourn as a
mark of respect. but even this was nor
done. Not even was the desk when
the late Senator occupied veiled in the
heavy mourning drapery as is the Gus

ness, passed over the death of its for

Anxious for Promotion,

WASHINGTON, D. c., July "a
Naval officers on the retired list who
saw service in the civil war, some 100
in number, are anxious to be promoted
to the next higher grade on the retired
list, as authorized by the recently
passed naval appropriation act. This
is the same kind of promotion that
was a year or two ago accorded to
army officers. There are evidences of
Impotence on the part of retired ma
val officers, who feel that the navy
department should be ready to pro-
mote them without delay. 1t will take
some time, however, to accomplish this.
as each case must be carefully exam
ined as to the records, to ascertain
whether the claimant is really entitled
to the benefit provided by law.
