fasta ta Aygust 28, 1926 WINNETKA TALK 37 SAYS CLABAUGH WILL GIVE "SQUARE DEAL" (Continued from Page 1) ginated and organized the "A.P.I." of wartime fame, During the World war circumstances fixed it so that I used to see Hinton G. Clabaugh almost every day. He had a job of amazing ramifications and multitudinous contacts then. Yet I never knew that he ever double- crossed a single man. He has three qualities, amazing energy, immaculate honesty and superlative guts. I know that once when a powerful politician in Washington demanded of Hinton G. Clabaugh that he do some- thing that was wrong, he looked him in the eye and politely told him to go to hell. "You ought te be fired!" roared the official. "Then why don't you fire me?" asked Clabaugh quietly. "Be- cause I can't," bawled the politician. I know that three times Hinton G. Clabaugh walked into the offices of the lordly politicians in Washington and flung his resignation in their faces pecause they demanded him to do things that he thought was not right-- and three times they refused to accept it. I know that he remained in the employ of his government for years at $4,500 a year when private interests had a standing offer for his services at $20,000 a year--stuck because his coun- trv needed him. I know that when a crisis came and the attorney-general of the United States and the United States District Attorney of Chicago were to be in- vestigated that Clabaugh, then out of government service, was recalled to help. I know, too, that Clabaugh left the government service in debt. I am not recording this as propagan- "EVA KARON SCHUR Gowns-Un riwear NORTH SHORE HOTEL 1605 CHICAGO AVENUE" EVANSTON --_----rnr da for Clabaugh or for or against Governor Small or to build up or tear down any man. I am writing it be- cause it is an important story to Illinois. I do not know Clabaugh's politics. I suspect he has none--in a partisan way. Not a Politician None of the five presiderts he work- ed under, I am sure, ever knew his politics. Neither does Governor Small today, I would wager. The nearest Clabaugh ever came to telling me his politics was when he said: "I never attended a political meeting of any kind in my life." Furthermore, he told me, up to the time Governor Small called him on the 'phone to invite him to take the job, he had never seen Len Small. With a twinkle in his eye Mr. Clabaugh rela- ted to me a humorous incident. He said : "My 'phone rang one day and a man's voice said, "The governor wants to see you. He is waiting.' "I kid sometimes a bit myself. If the voice had said President Coolidge is waiting, or the Prince of Wales or the former Kaiser or Kemal Pasha is waiting, I'd probably have replied just as I did. I said, 'Well, let him wait.' I was busy and I did let him wait be- cause I thought it was some joker. "I answered in a minute or two and another voice said, "This is Len Small. [ was much surprised." Something of the story of governor Small's arguments in getting Clabaugh to take the post, filled with grief as it is bound to be, will be told later. The argument that finally brought ac- tion was this : "People hold me accountable for evils that grow up. If I go to men like you, men who could remedy them, men I can trust, and you all turn me down, one after the other, then can you hold me, the governor, to blame?" "COURAGE"--SERMON "Courage" will be the subject of the Sunday morning sermon by the Rev, Thomas A. Goodwin, at the Winnetka Congregational church, at 11 o'clock. At the evening service at 8 o'clock, he will preach on "Finding God." Mary Yvonne Clark, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. H.
