the folly of making an issue of man until
his failure has been made manifest 1t
is also recalled that Secretary Baker can
not be held responsible for the War De-
partment as it existed prior to March 9,
1916; that his first year of office was
taken up with the Mexican troubles and
the reorganization of the army under the
Chamberlain bill of 1916; that he had been
in office less than year before the sever
ance of relations with Germany, and that
his success or failure in Office cannot yet
be made closed question; nor is there
any one in sight whose ability would GER
tainly outweigh the ability plus the capi-
talized experience of Baker.
Great Secretaries Of War have been few
and far between in American history
Elihu Root was the last. Neither Secre-
tary nor President Taft's Secretary, Dick
inson, were considered great executives, but
only great lawyers, and President Wilson
followed the precedent by selecting Lawyer
Garrison for the same position. Yet de-
spite the praise which Garrison evoked in
certain quarters, probably 10 one would
think now Of substituting him for Baker.
And this added consideration must be
met: There has been effected a reorganiza-
ton of the War Department in recent
weeks, General Palmer IT, Pierce having
just been put in charge of the War Sup
plies Bureau in the further effort to CEN
tralize it's administration, and the predic-
tion of failure of the new organization
might be more injurious to the country in
the encouragement of Prussian hopes and
destruction of the American morale at the
front than advantageous in the correction
of abuses.
