The reported promise by President
Wilson that he viii appoint military
man to be assistant secretary of war
makes partial correction of the error of
appointing a civilian of civilians as sec
rotary of war. The appointment of a
militia, or National Guard, man to the
under position is likely to bring that sec
tion of the nations defense army into
more deserved prominence and is calcu
lated to help along the movement toward
a liberalization of the militia organiza-
tions of the states, along the line of
preparedness which is receiving the most
support throughout the nation.

Prosecutor Is Accused of Contempt of
Congress for Criticising House
Committee.

New York, June 27-H. Snowden Mar
shall, federal district attorney, was yes
terday served with warrant OF arrest
in connection with his alleged contempt
Of Congress for critieising House sub
committee investigating impeachment
charges against him by Representative
Buchanan.
While the nominal arrest of Mr.. Mar
shall was being accomplished, the prose.
cutor's secretary entered the room with a
writ OF habeas corpus. This Mr.. Mar
shall signed and later it was signed by
United States Judge Hand. This was
returnable yesterday afternoon and
meanwhile prevented Mr.. Marshalfs re-
moval to Washington.
Mr.. Marshall in his writ asserted that
no contempt had been committed by him,
and that the House OF Representatives
was without authority to punish him.
The criticism in question was contained
in newspaper statement made by the
district attorney, in which he impugned
the motives of the House committees in
vestigation and charged bad faith.

THE REPUBLICAN CHOICE.
"A Strong and High-Minded Statesman,
Says Springfield Republican.

The forces that brought about TIL
nomination of Mr. Hughes might b
scrutinlzed and analysed forever with
out the least detraction from the higi
excellence Of the result. 1t cannot bt
denied that availability was as potent
an influence with the convention as esel
before in these assemblages. For no 9th
err candidate enjoyed Mr.. Hughes unique
qualification Of having been minus d
political existence since the great schism
| in the Republican party occurred. Cir,
cumstances thus opened the way and
prepared mems minds for his leadership
Nor is IL TO be ignored that Mr.. Hughes
strength came mainly from those who
saw In his nomination an insurmountable
barrier to the restoration of MIR. Roose.
velt's supremacy in the Republican party.
Ii 1t be said that Mr. Hughes, as q pres
idential candidate, is the political off
spring of hostility to Mr.. Roosevelt. no
refutation need be offered The reac-
tions Of politics were ever notable for
the bitter personal struggle involved. An
tipathy for Seward made Lincoln the
presidential nominee In 1895; hostility TO
Blaine made Hayes the candidate in
1879.
But the wisdom Of the choice By the
Republicans in 1919 leaves little oppor
tunity for dispute when one considers
the combination in this man Of singular
political availability with lofty quail
flea tions Of intellect and character. A
Republican Of the highest personal type
has been given the party's highest honor.
Mr., Hughes meets the seyerest tests Of
austere political rectitude, as was proved
in his careefa as governor Of New York
and recently in his rigid avoidance Of
promotion OF his political fortunes while
occupying position ON the highest
court in the land. There never was a
case when "the Office sought the man,
rather than the man the office, with less
suggestion of secret yearning and sly
for selfish ends than in the
case of Mr.. Hughes. Arid so free is he
OF entangling political alliances that one
ran imagine no president entering the
White House, should the election prove
favorable to him, with greater liberty Of
action than Mr.. Hughes, AS president
his independence Of personal obligations
10 party politicians would be ideal. For
he owes his nomination to no one in par |
ticular unlike Mr.. Taft in 1908 and Mr..
Wilson in 1912 and he would owe his |
election to the people alone.
That Mr. Hughes viii prove TO be an
aggressive and formidable candidate is
suggested by his prompt attack upon the
Democratic administration in his mes
age of acceptance; and that he has po-
itical sense and shrewdness to degree
appears to be Immediately demonstrated
" the strength of his ayowal of patriot
c convictions sufficient to make Mr..
hesitate to accept the Progress
i've nomination II is, of course, moth

has been made by Progressive Republi-
cans, il became known here yesterday.
An extensive letter writing campaign on
the part of these Republicans was dis
covered, with certain senators having a

What the projectors want from the
Republican candidate is letter or state
ment something like the one Wilson
wrote George Harvey in the 1912 cam
paign.
Hughes must make it plain he does
not sanction the growing activities Of the
old guard group or lose his power to
command the Proeressives' support, he
has been told.
