The San Francisco call., 1913-07-31
Improve the Preside

i Secretary of War Garrison is one of the mem
bers of President Wilson's cabinet who works
with his brains and not with his mouth. He is
keen shrewd. observing and common sensible
What he sees here is likely to prove OF more con-
sequence in his action and recommendations after
he returns to Washington than any fine words and
sweet compliments he might pay while here.
Secretary Garrison, as stranger here, as secre-
tary of who has just visited many army posts,
and who is to visit practically all of them before
he returns to Washington, hardly fail to notice
that the physical condition of the Preside OF San
Francisco is disgraceful to the people OF the United
States who support it through congress; and is dis
creditable to the department, which administers
it. Above all, it is reproach to the California dele
CATION in congress for negecting to see that it IS
put not in the last rank but in the first line Of army
posts in the United States far concerns build
ngs, grounds, military equipment, number of sol
ders and other factors III great army post worthy
OF representing the nations military power on the
Pacific ocean side OF the nation
While there a few buildings at the
Preside, the greater number of them are little
better than shacks, and have outlived their useful
ness. The approaches and most of the roads around
the Presdio are inadequate to say the least.
Secretary Garrison himself can do nothing
directly toward remedying the unsghtly and un-
satisfactory condition of affairs at the Presidio but
he make very strong and favorable represen-
tation to congress, as the result of his personal
observations on what he can't help seeing If the
matter is properly brought to his attention while
he is in this vicinity.
