Fe Scchts Who Figures : In England a traditional road to a seat in the house of commons leads through a private secretaryship to some member of that body. American political annals also contain the names of a number of men who lave climed to position and honors through the initial aid of such public acts. Perhaps it is the limited taste of pub- lic life enjoyed by the private secre- tary that whets: his appetite and spurs his ambition. At any rate, the posi tion has proved a stepping note. in American politics, Undoubtedly, the, most example of a notable rise f£om the ranks of the private secretary to com- manding position was furnished by the late John Hay, brilliant and influential premier undér two presidents. ston conspicuous _ Mr. Hay's public life began during times that moulded men. Constantly at the side of President Lincoln, the Jessons he learned int the White House during the early 60's were destined to revolutionize the diplomacy of the world When death overtook the late secre- tary of state at the zeifith of his ca- reer, he ranked as one of the greatest diplomatists of his time. His public career was marked by the highest type of official honesty, and tHose' who are most conversant with his many suc- ¢esses in statéeraft say that they were due as much fo this as to.anything else. That cunning and foxiness that has marked the official career of so many diplomats was entirely wanting in his international] dealings. These were marked by straightforwardness and lack of double dealing, which won him the confidence of all with whom he had business of state. Once Mr. Hay is said to have re- marked to a friend that during his in- - {imate contact with -the rugged honest Lincoln, he had absorbed so much of Lincoln's way of doing things that it was about the most valuable asset he had. Thus was one great man giving credit to another for his success in life. Other private secretaries rising to cabinet positions 'were Daniel S. La- mont and Postmaster General George B. Cortelyou. Lamont was private secretary to Pre- sident Cleveland during the latter's first term, and while discharging the i mdm pe INL i a 4 » Ghee And, by the way, it was Lamont who started George Bruce Cortelyou upon his notable career. At one time Presi-' dent Cleveland wished a stenographer who could spell and who was accurate. In short, he desired the best stenog- rapher that could be found in the gov- ernment service, He gave Lamont a commission to find that man, Now, it so happened that Lamont was a friend of Fourth Assistant Postmast- er General Maxwell. Tne latter had been boasting to Lamont about a "peach" of a voung. stenographer he had, and said he was the best man in the service. When Lamont received his sion to find a stenographer he immedi- ately went to the post office depart- ment and told Maxwell that he wanted commis-~ that good stenographer he had been boasting about. "But," interposed Maxwell, " I want him myself. need." "That's just it," responded Lamont; "if you did not want him, we would not care to have him, either." So it happened that one private sec- retary who afterwards became a cabi- net officér, started another private sec- retary on a carerr that led to a similar high position. When Cleveland was elected the sec- ond time, Foster had to go and Wynne had to go with him. He resumed his newspaper work and continued it until made first assistant postmaster general, | going from that position to the head of | the department. There are at least two men in the United States senate who have been private secretaries to some official. One of these is Senator John C. Spooner, of Wisconsin, After the civil war--and he served with distinction therein--he was made private military secretary to Governor Lucius Fair- child of Wisconsin. This was the be- ginning of a political career that has been almost continuous from that date. During that time he has declined two cabinet positions--the secretaryship of the interior department and the attorn- | ey-generalship, both tendered by Pres- ident McKinley. In 1900 he announced his "unalter- able purpose not to be a candidate for re-clection," as he puts it in his biogra- phy, "but was, notwithstanding, elected for another term." This is one of the He is just the fellow I delicate duties of that position so im- pressed the president with his ability - for higher things that he was promot- to be secretary of war during Cleve- land's second term.

On the house side of the national capital are a number of members who were private secretaries before going to congress Their services in the humbler capacity have made them thor- otighly alive to the wants of their con- stituents at home, and as a rule are said to devote themselves more to look- ing after the wishes of their constitu- ents than any other class of men in congress. 7: The very nature of the work of a private secretary brought them into intimate contact with the people repre- sented by their chiefs, and, if they have been good secretaries, as they must have been to win election to congress, they learned that what constituted a good congressman from the standpoint of the average constituent is the faculty of looking after the immediate and di- rect interests of the people of the dis- trict represented. One of this class of representatives is Amos L. Allen, the white-haired member from Maine. He succeeded Thomas B. Reed, after having been private secretary to that gentleman for years, and during all the time that Mr Reed was speaker of the house. Allen started out as a clerk in the treasury department, just after the civil war. Then he went back to Maine and served as clerk of the court of his native county for twelve years. He gave up that position to return to Washington as clérk to the house com- mittee on judiciary, from which place he went to the pension service as spe- cial examiner. Holding that position for a year was elected to the Maine When Mr. Reed began his great career he studied law, and after the retirement of Governor Jarvis entered upon the practice of his profession... Soon he got into the political whirl. was speaker of the North Carolina house for several sessions, and was the nominee of democratic caucus for the United States senate at the time Pritchard was elected. When Pritch- ard's term cxpired he was again the nominee, and was elected to the senate Overman and Semator Heyburn, of {daho, are close rivals for the honor of looking to be the best natured men in the senate. Both have double chins and countenances that seem never. fo fail in the expression of rare good hu- the | Peter C.! in congress, Mr. Allen returned to Washington as his private which position he held until Reed tired ; Allen went back to Maine, made a | canvass for the place and was elected 5 Speaker Reed's successor in the na- tional house.

'He went to the Spanish- American war as a private in the first command going from the state. When he returned he resumed his court reporting and farming, In 1902 he won the nomination for congress over half a dozen or more other aspir- ants. The republican 'who opposed him at the polls got 58 votes: Mr. Aiken probably knows as many people around the depirtments as any man in the house, and scarcely a day passes but he makes the round of the various offices, looking for something for the people back home, He is one of the greatest pedestrians of the house, and part of the time wears a real home spun suit of ¢lothes. There is an old-time gentlewoman in his district who still raises flax, jfrows wool and weaves the goods therefrom. Mr. Aiken occasionally is dble to per- suade her to weave him a piece of wool- en cloth, and he then has his tailor make i up into a suit, he wenes it to the house it at once becomes the envy of alt his friends. He has been asked by a dozen fembers to get them a piece of cloth like it. Only a few weeks ago 38-year-old congressman Frederick Landis, of Indiana, attracted the attention of the country by the phrase-making quality of his maiden speech. Four years ago young Landis was private secretary to his brother, also a member from Indiana, and was. doing newspaper work at /the same time. One day he remarked that he was tired of being private secretary, dnd had de- cided to go back home and run for congress, He did so, secured the nomination in the district represented by Mayor Geo. Steels, a veteran of the house, and wai triumphantly' elected. Another representative who served political apprenticeship, as a secretary, is Representative C. B, Van Duzer, of Ne- vada. Upon the elevation of Mr. New- lands to the senate, Mr. Van Duzer be- came a candidate for Mik seat in the house and was el CHARM OF POLAR REGION, Fiala Talks of Expedition <o North Pole.
