WORK OF WAR SECRETARY
Outline tf th EetpoiaibilitiM Placed Upon
tb Shoulders of One Offloer.
VAST CONCERNS UNDER HIS SUPERVISION
Civil Duties Rival In Ksieat the Bur.
dens at Military Administration
-Expansion Treated Warlc
f tha Department.
WASHINGTON, July a (Special.) When
a man is appointed secretary of war the
natural supposition Is that he will admin
ister the affairs of the army. If he should
devote all his time to that duty he would
b busy enough, for the management of
this Important branch of the national de
fense requires all Tf one mao'e time, nut
as matters now fall out the army In a sec
ondary confederation of the War depart
ment and other matters of greater mo
ment, for the time at least, engage the at
tention of the secretary who holds the war
portfolio.
William Ifc Taft, who has been solicitor
general In the Department of Justice, Judge
of the United Statea circuit court, governor
of the Philippines, and who ls now secre
tary of war, la the busiest man In the cabi
net. During the absence of Secretary Hay
he haa supervision of matters pertaining to
the State department, and when the presi
dent ls away he Is the virtual head ot the
administration.
The government of the Philippine Island!
devolvea upon the secretary ot war, and
also the government of the Isthmian canal
tone, and, primarily, the work of construct
ing the waterway between the Atlantlo and
Paclflc oceans. There Is enough for one
man to do If he had only one of these
duties, but the secretary has some very
competent men working for him, who re
lieve him to some extent of the burdens of
his office. At the same time he cannot
escape many details of the governments
and bureaus under his control. Many men
do not wish to act, even If they have the
authority, until they have submitted their
suggestions to the secretary. Besides, It ls
necessary for the secretary to sign hun
dreds of documents, and subordinates do
not always care to have the secretary at
tach hla signature to papers until he Is In
formed of their purport, especially If
some disputed question Is Involved.
There la much bualneaa In the War de
partment In which senators and represen
tatives are Interested, and the secretary
must always listen to what they have to
say. This takea up a great deal of hla time
and entails a large amount of additional
work. Even In the selection of men of the
army for general officers there la congres
sional pressure, for the army knows the
value of political pull. The fact that tha
secretary ls the "court of last resort" In
everything pertaining to his department,
brings upon him a multitude of duties and
great pressure from Interested parties. For
Instance, a man wishes to secure his dis
charge from the army. He haa failed In the
regular military channels, but has Inter
ested a senator or representative, who ap
plies to the subordinates, meets with a re
fusal and finally appeals to the secretary
aa the last chance. Senators and represen
tatives also have a way of going to the
secretary for the most trivial things In the
department and having the aubordlnatea
brought in to report or explain the busi
ness in which they are Interested.
Boutlne Details.
The secretary of war must approve or
disapprove expenditures for military posts,
determining what money ahall be apent
and for what purpose. Ho decides what
kind of bollwB must be Installed for heat
ing the new buildings at West Point and
tha character of all minor Improvement!
If there la a dispute. He passes upon the
height of bridges across navigable
streams; also whether bridges can be con
structed over some streams, and, In this
connection, there are many questions
pending that have caused a half dosen
hearings, and in which senators and rep
resentatives have often appeared. The
disposition of abandoned military posts or
grounds, often Involving controversies
lasting for years, and tha granting of a
right-of-way for a street car line across
a military reservation are among the
questions that frequently occupv the sec
retary tor hours. The action of a court
martial must receive bis attention, and
sometimes when the dismissal of a man
la concerned, the friends and relatives
bear down upon the secretary with all
the influence they can bring to reverse
the verdict. The change of any piece of
ordnance or mechanism of a gun must
receive his approval, and in connection
with the ordnance of the army, there Is a
awarm of promoters and lnventora who
appeal to him after thuir projecta have
been refused by army boards. The award
of contracts In the Philippines, the plans
for building railways in the Islands to
cost more than $30,000,000, and the settle
ment of tire purchase and sale of the
friar lands are amoug the great quea
tlona which come to him from the oriental
possessions, while there are the smaller
questions, such as whose vlguette shall
appear on the latest bonds, or tha choice
of a fiscal agent to aot as a depository for
the funds, and the still smaller questions
as to what promotions shall be made In
the Philippine scouts, or the return of a
government clerk from the Islands, are
. i . . . t I . .. . , J..!.!..-
orougni lo iiiiii xv. utti.t"". q
Supervision ol canai nin,
The construction of the Isthmian canal
and the government of tho canal aoue
Involve questions of great moment, from
the selections ot commissioners and offi
cers, down to the methods ot procedure
In the matter of clerical help. The vast
project must have official machinery for
Its management, and this becomes a prob
lem for the secretary to determine. While
looking forward to the great undertaking
upon which the government has entered,
the secretary has been surrounded by a
small army of office seekers, men with
schemes, promoters and others, all Intent
upon getting a share of the millions that
are to be spent on the canal.
The secretary of war muat aee the old
army officer, with hla tale . of woe and
atory of Ill-treatment. He must give re
spectful attention to the claims of men
who say they have been wronged by the
War department or the army. He must
read, or at least know the purport of let
ters from well meaning but misguided men
who undertake to tell him how to manage
the opium trafflo In the Philippines, or to
Improve the moral conditions of the sol
diers at home and abroad. Any troubles
into which cadets plunge themselves at
West Point must finally lodge with the
secretary of war and he must listen to
the pleadings ot their friends.
In the midst of all his duties a summons
cornea from the president, who desires to
consult a 1th hlra upon any one of the Im
portant affairs In his charge, foreign,
Philippine, or domestic These also
bring down upon him many newspaper
correspondents, who want to know from
the man In charge what Is being done.
It Is also necessary tor him to consult of
ficers of the State department, and where
the navy Is In some way Involved and It
ls often a part of some diplomatic Im
broglio the navy officials are called upon
for Information or suggestion. For some
reason which baa never been explained
congress has made the secretary of war
a member ot every commission which
chooses a site and selects a public statue
In Washington. The secretary la heaelged
by those who are urging sitae and by
artiata, kseiaia an ting with tba ootamia-
slons many times to discuss (ml determlnd
the fluestlonr that arise. As river and
harbor Improvement work Is under the di
rection of the army engineers all the dis
puted points finally come to the secretary!
of war, which means an addition to hla
burflene.
Department Unties Trebled.
If the secretary of war was Just what
the name Implies, the officer who dealt
with the army alone, whose duties extended
no further than the armed land forced Ol
the United Statea and what pertains to
them, his placo In the cabinet would ba
almost aa good aa the navy portfolio, and
no more Irksome. But under present con
ditions It has become tho greatest depart
ment of the government. The army la
itself Is Important, but In addition to thin
branch of the government service, tha
management of several other equally large
and Important public matters trebles tha ,
work of the secretary. It Is fortunate that
president Koosevelt has In Secretary TaTf
a man of the ability, constitution and tem
perament to assume the duties laid upoV .
him.
No man disposes of business more easily
than Secretary Taft. Few men In hla po
sition give as much time to visitors. Ar
riving at hla office early In the morning
he will remain until nearly I o'clock and
during thla time he la giving audiences ta
men who have business of some sort wltll
the secretary in connection with one ol
the many departments under his jurisdic
tion. It often happens that In order to
dispose of some Important and complea
problem the secretary will spend the after
noon at his home where he can work with
out Interruption. If he returns to the Waf
department after luncheon he la again be.
aleged by the doicns of people who want
to transact business with him.
The waiting room In the War depart
ment has nearly as many visitors dally aa
the White Houso and the secretary feelg
obliged to see nearly all who coine becausa
they are there to discuss something upon
which ho Is called to act. Being of a Ju
dicial frame of mind Secretary Taft de
sires to listen to all sides of every ques
tion. It ls true that a great deal of tha
business of the callers might well be trans
acted with the subordinate In the depart
ment, but It Is not human nature to do
business with a subordinate when a chief
can be reached.
Although Secretary Taft has a competent
force of subordinates It Is necessary for
lilm to have a thorough knowledge of
verythlng that Is going on. He must know
what the Isthmian Canal commission la
doing; all Important army matters must ba
brought to his attention In order that ha
oan act when occasion arises. Secretary
Taft would naturally keep Informed con-
cernlng the affairs in tho Thllllplnes even
if he was hot obliged to do so In order to
determine Important questions when they '
arise. So It ls necessary for the secretary
to work hard. He does a man's work In
securing Information and another's In
reaching conclusions.
It ls very fortunate that at this junctura
when the war secretary haa so much busi
ness on hand we are at peace. The vast
machine called the army Is in shape to run
Itself for several months. If there was a
war the secretary's duties would be trebled.
Worklna- Overtime.
For the past few months Secretary Taft
haa been working overtime In order to hava
every department under his control or
ganised so that it will run like the army.
He has been shaping an business of the de
partment so that bo could make the tout
of Inspection to the Philippines and observe
the conditions there and see what' progress
haa been mads atnee he relinquished tho
governorship of the Islands. He has tho
Isthmian Canai commission In working
order, and the great project which Is under
hla Immediate control ls In the handa of
aubordlnatea in whom he haa the utmost
confidence. In fact this machinery Is now
organised so that It must go on. It cannbt
atop even while the secretary ls away.
Aa to the hundred or more minor matters
which force themselves upon the secretary,
why, they will have to wait or will be de
cided by the heads of bureaus and the as
sistant secretary of war, as they ought to
be decided in the first place, were It not for
the desire "of every man to lay his case be
fore the head of the department.
It will be observed that Secretary Taft
has enough to do without taking up politics,
and those who try to get him to discuss
politics to any great extent find an unre
sponsive man. He ls Interested In politics
Just to that extent that politics bear upon
tha welfare of the country and no mdre.
He is not bothering about tho effect of hla
official actions upon his own future. He la
not "playing polltlca," but everything he
doea la baaed upon what he beltevea to b
public policy. And after all that may turn
out to be the best kind of polltlca.
Criticism of , hla acts docs not seem to
disturb Secretary Taft. Believing as hi
does In the widest publicity of every official
aot. It ls not natural that he should ex
pect everybody to agree with him, and he II
naturally fair-minded enough to accord to
every man the right to differ with him. II
may be true that Secretary Taft has the
same vlewss on this subject as his predeces
sor Ellhu Rout. One day Mr. Root and an
official of the department were out riding
after a particular hard day In the department,-and
the conversation turned upon tha
antagonistic view of quite a large propor
tion of the public press upon some policy of
the department. The subordinate was quite
emphatic in his denunciation of the press
for the course It was pursuing, supposlni
that what he was snylng would please tha
secretary.
"You are wrong In your conclusion," r
marked Mr. Root. "Tho best thing In thll
government ls the freedom of the press and
the free manner In which the press criti
cises public men and their acts. Nothing
keeps a public official so straight and rlghl
as the fact that his every act ls to be re
viewed by an unsi iirlng critic. The press)
may bo wrong, but it gives you an oppor.
tunlty to see both sides of a situation. It
ls a great help to the man In a public placd
to get the point of view of those who op
pose him. If the official is right hs can
afford to have his act stand the test of
time; If he ls wrong the public criticism
affords him an opportunity to modify hi
act or at least to avoid a like, mistake In
the future. Intelligent comment and criti
cism of an official act upon him like a good
antagonist in a law suit. If a man la prev
paring a rase In default he does not use the
care that he would It he Is to meet a bright
lawyer who would be quick to find flaws In
a pleading."
This statement by Mr. Root presents a
aide of that distinguished man that ls not
generally known. It shows that he modi
fied his opinions of publicity and the press
very materially after ha became secretaxH
of war.
