Box Butte Ave. and Second St. Gen. Leonard "Wood hnB juBt re turned from Boutb America to take up his dutlcB na chief of the general staff of the United States army, the highest military position 'which the service af fords. Nearly 12 yeans ago, when .Leonard Wood was acting as governor of Santi ago, I wrote In the Outlook about what he had already 'achieved, udd v?at he oould be trusted to achieve. During the intervening 12 years ho has played a very conspicuous part among the men who have rendered signal service to the country by the way n which they have enablod It to grapple with the duties and responsibilities In curred by the Spanish war. Whn't has been accomplished In the Philippines, In Cuba, In Porto Rico, In Pana'ma, and In San Domingo during these 12 years represents a sum of achieve ment of which this nation has a right to be extremely proud. In each locali ty the problem has been different, In each locality It has been solved with signal success. Of course there have been mistakes and shortcomings, but on the whole It would bo difficult to Ond anywhere a finer record of suc cessful accomplishment This record is primarily due to the admirable qual ity of the men put at tho head of af fairs In the different places. Messrs. Taft, Luko Wright, Smith and Forbes, Messrs, Hunt, Wlnthrop, Post and Col ton, Governor Magoon, Colonel Goeth ala to these nnd their colleagues and subordinates the country owes a heavy debt of obligation. Most of those I have mentioned are oIvilianB. Colonel Goethals, under whom tho gigantic work of the Pana ma canal Is being accomplished, with literally astounding rapidity and suc cess, Is a representative of the army. Tho share of the army In the honor roll Is very large. The importance of work like that of General Bell In the Philippines, of Genoral Barry in Cuba, con hardly bo overestimated but, as a whole, of all tho work of the army officers, the greatest In amount, nnd the greatest In variety of achieve ment, must be credited to General Wood. And, moreover, he has at times combined with singular success the functions of civil administrator and military commandant. The part played by the United States in Cuba haB been one of tho most hondrable over played by any nation In dealing with a weaker power, one of the most satisfactory In all respects; and to General Wood more than to any other ono man Is due tho credit of starting this worfi and conducting It to a suc cessful conclusion during the earliest and most difficult years. Like almost nil of the men mentioned, as well as their colleagues, General Wood of course incurred the violent hatred of many dishonest schemers and un scrupulous adventurers, and of a few GO TO MRS. M. C. BURKETT'S: RESTAURANT and CAFE f For a Square Meal or Short Order f more or less well-meaning persons who were 'misled by thoBe schemers and ndyenture'ra; but It Is astounding io any one acquainted wiui the lacta to realize, not merely what ho accom plished, hut how he succeeded in gain ing die good will of the enormous ma jority of the men whoso good (will could be won only In honorable fash ion, Spaniards and Cubans, Christiaa Filipinos and Moras, Catholic eccle siastics and Protestant missionaries in each case the great majority of those whose opinion was best worth havlpg gew to regard General Wood as their Bpoclal champion and ablest friend, as the man who more than any others traderstood and sympathized with their peculiar needs and was anxious and able to render them the help they most needed. His administration was as signally successful in the Moro country as in Cuba. In each case alike it brought in Its train peace, an Increase in material prosperity, and a rigid adherence to honesty as the only policy tolerated among officials. His opportunity for military service has not been great, either In the Philippines or while he was the governor of Cuba. Still, on several occasions he was obliged to carry on operations against hostile tribes of Moros, and in each case he did hlB work with skill, energy, and efficiency; and, once It was done, he howed as much humanity In dealing with the vanquished as he had shown capacity to vanquish them. In our country there are some kinds of suc cess which receive an altogether dis proportionate financial reward; but in io other country is the financial re ward so small for the kind of service done by Leonard Wood and by the other men whose names I have given above. General Wood Is an army offi cer with nothing but an army officer's pay, nnd we accept It as a matter of course that ho should have received practically no pecuniary reward for those services which he rendered In positions not such as an army officer usually occupies. There Is not an other" big country In the world where ho would not have received a sub- tantlal reward such as here no one ven thinks of his receiving. Yet, aft er all, the reward for which ho most cares is the opportunity to render service, and thlB opportunity 'has been given him once and again. He now stands as chief-of-staff of the Ameri can army, the army in which he was serving in a subordinate position as surgeon 13 years ago. His rise has been astonishing, and it has been due purely to his own striking qualifica tion and striking achievements. Again and again he has rendered great serv ice to the American people; and he will continue to render such service in the position he now holds. THEODORE ROOSEVELT.
