Great Falls daily tribune., 1920-03-02

The retiring secretary Of the interior tells the
president that washington is rich in brains ana
character It is honest beyond any commercial
standard It wishes to do everything to promote
the public good But it is poorly organized for
the task that belongs to it. Fewer men Of Larger
capacity would do the task better. Ability IS
not lacking, but it is pressed to the point ol
paralysis because of an infinitude OF details ana
an unwngness on the part of the great BODY
Of public servants to take responsibility. Every
one seems to be afraid Of everyone. The sell
protective sense is developed abnormally, the
creative sense atrophies. Trust, confidence, en-
thusiasm-these simple virtues OF all great
businesses-are lacking in government organlza-
ton We have SO many checks and brakes on
our work that our progress does not keep pace
with the nations requirements.
Wise words and good medicine for the public
mind in spite of its bitter flavor if we will only
ponder on them and digest them. Too much
passing of the buck too much of "let George
do it, too much cowardice, not to put too fine
point on it. These form the grit that gets IN
the wheels Of the government machine and takes
the pleasure of good work and efficient service
from government servant in high place And
when to this is added nasty sort Of suspicious
ness that results in whole statute book full OF
restraints, prohibitions, checks, brakes, dead
weights, and red tape bands to hold back and
restrain the servant who would do good work
and give the best service that is IN HIM to give
we get an idea why Secretary Of the Interior
Franklin K Lane resigned his Job to take up
service under a private corporation employer
and also the reason why many other public ser
wants of ability and reputation have done the
same thing in the past and will continue to do
the same thing in the future.
If we could cut Congress in half and double
the salaries Of the half that remained and do
the same thing il all the departments and abol-
sh red tape and increase and encourage respon-
sibility in the heads Of departments, we feel sure
that the people would get better government at
a lower cost and with far greater satisfaction to
the employing yublic and their servants.

THE PRESIDENTS SECRETARY

Perhaps the thought has occurred to many OF
our readers that Private Secretary TO the Presl-
dent Tumuty has been a pretty conspicuous
figure during the present administration. tie
has represented the president during his sickness
or absence from the capital a good deal more
than the vice-president has ever done. Origin
allv the office was purely clerical one. For
many years it was regarded as very subordIn-
ate office But during the last quarter OF
century it has been growing in Importance II
the public eye. The secretary Of the president
is now regarded as quite as important person
age politically and socially as any member OF
the cabinet A recent article in the Review
deals with this subject and says:
There have been 27 different presidents OF the
United States, and all of them had one more
private secretaries, but the list of men to whom
the office has proved stepping stone to 1ur-
ther honors and an enlarged sphere OF life is
short one. John Hay, John G. Nlcholay, Horace
Porter Daniel Lamont, George Bruce Corteyou,
and William Loeb Jr., are names that stand out
from the list Of those who have held the oftlce
The others fell back into oblivion, or never
emerged from it, even while they were IN the
White House, and their subsequent activities
and exploits are unrecorded.
The enlarged dimensions of the office of secre-
tary to the president were. marked out by Danlel
Lamont when he came to Washington as the
presidents secretary in the first Cleveland
presidents secretary in the first Grover
Clevelands secretary at Albany, Just as Mr..
Tumuty had been Governor Wilson's secretary
at Trenton. Here the parallel abruptly ends.
In Mr.. Cleveand's second administration Mr.
Lamont was secretary of war. During his tenure
Of office as secretary to the president. Mr.
Lamont to some extent made it an added cabinet
position. His personal Influence with Mr.
Cleveland was on par with that of any one OF
the seven counselors provided by law.
After Lamont comes Cortelyou, who was con-
fidential stenographer to Grover Cleveland,
secretary to Mckinley and to Roosevelt, chair
man of the Republican national committee,
postmaster-gen secretary Of commerce and
labor and secretary Of the treasury in the Roose-
velt cabinet. Mr.. Cortelyou very nearly the
ideal secretary to the president He had political
sagacity and experience. He knew public men,
he was a competent executive, and could dispose.
Of an enormous amount of routine business with
out hitch or furry. He had an intimate and
detailed knowledge Of the processes of govern
ment, was careful and cautious to a degree, had
manner that inspired confidence, and was
always the master of himself and of circum-
stances. There were never unfortunate slips"
when Mr.. Cortelyou was in the White House
executive offices. Everything ran as smoothly
as an eight day clock.

THE KAISER GREATLY WORRIED
IL Aoeing RapidIy-Thinks He Has
Been Betrayed by His People

The Hague correspondent of the
Berlin Tagelbatt gives a rather un-
usual picture of the CORNER German
Emperor in long article which he
contributes regarding the personal APP
|pearance of the former ruler and his
future prospects
1.-THE Kaiser himself-the Kaiser
grown much older--has been struck in
his vital strength says the CORES
pondent. "The trembling in the arm
and leg, which earlier was only just
noticeable has so increased that it is |
seen at glance and dominates
his entire appearance The Kaiser
has become very corpulent, though he
eats little"
Having talked with countless per
sons who have visited the former En-
peror, the correspondent proceeds his
picture with a sharp criticism of some
of these leading personalities, who
afterwards tell tactless stories and
stories based on misunderstanding
which circulate about the world"
He adds: THE Kaiser's attitude is
still soldierly, but he appears to have
grown shorter. It is noticeable how
slowly he speaks in contradiction to
his old habit He livens up only when
|rememberances of the old days come
to him. This often occurs in the mid.
die of a conversation.
"Only pity can be felt for the Kaiser
on such occasions. No one who has
seen him at Amerongen and is capable
OF responsible impression believes
that this man, who is spiritually torn
and shows it in his body, ever will play
an active role in any form whatso. |
ever. BY the grinding experiences of
war, the future, which constantly tor.
ments him, the deeper impulses of his
will are dulled."
In the opinion of the correspondent
the former Emperor has purchased
Doom House as proof that he has
given up all thoughts of returning to
Germany.
He no longer expresses the wish to
return to Germany" says the writer
HE believes Germany is lost. More
than ever he believes he has been be-
trayed by his councillors and the
whole people" !
The former rulers letters are CEN
sured by the Dutch, who are not natur
an appeal for the former Emperor, say
ing
''It depends upon Amerongen being
left quiet and forgotten. The last at.
front that threatens it's resident thus
can be most easily avoided"
