SECRETARY LUKE :. WRIGHT.


Commenting on the appointment of
General Luke 2. Wright to the secre-
taryship Of War. the Atlanta Consti-
tuition Of Sunday says:
b In selecting General Luke E. Wright
TO receive the portfolio Of secretary
Of war when it ig resigned by secre-
tary Taft on June 80, President Roose-
welt has performed an act Of broad
nationaiism.
This elevation Of a distinguished
southerner is a recognition of a
man Of notable ability. and Is fitting
reward for services Of no mean order.
I But it IS more than this: it is
recognition Of a section that deserves
to have a representative in the cabi-
net. President Roosevelt early after
his accession to the presidency, pro
claimed his firm purpose to represent
the whole people and to be the chief
executive of the whole country.
His action in calling into the council
Of his advisers, a distinguished south
erner proves that he has not abandon
ed this IDEAL
No one win question that the high
honor to be conferred upon General
Wright is fully deserved In the new
position he will bring knowledge of
southern conditions and sympathy
for southern ideals that will prove
force In a cabinet that is
remarkable for the diversity Of its
parts,
General Wright is the son Of a chief
justice of Tennessee. He, himself is
a native Of Tennessee and his wife is
a daughter Of that peerless command
er, Admiral Raphael semmes. Of the
States navy He has ser
we'd as a member of the Philippine
as civil governor Of the
islands and later as governor general.
HIS latest official position was that
of ambassador to Japan. which place
he resigned and is now living in Mem.
phis. Three Of his sons served in the
Spanish-American war
His selection by President Roose-
welt for the important duties. Of sec
Rotary Of war is tribute to the dis.
tinguished services he has rendered in
former positions requiring tact and
ability; on the other hand, his former
admirably fit him for the
important duties he is about to as
sumes
It is saids,of the president that he
admiress men who have done some
thing regardless Of their affiliations.
General Wright has done something
most successfully. General Joseph e.
Whee'ef had done something, and he
was honored for It, At the recent
conference Of governors in Washing
ton, President Roosevelt selected two
democratic governors. Noel, Of Missis-
sippi, and johnson, Of Minnesota, to
preside over two days session Of the
gathering, thus emphasizing his non
partisan spirit and his broad national
ism.
The Same spirit was manifest in his
selection Of ex-senator Joe Black
burn, Of Kentucky; Major D. D. Gail
lard, Of South Carolina; Colonel VIII
liam G. Gorgas. OF Alabama, and Jack.
son Smith, another southerner, to be
members Of the Panama canal com
mission.
And now a southern man has been
admitted into the inner council OF
the administration.
