Solicitor general of the Viiiieil i States at thlrty-thrw! Scarcely more | than a fwiy in years as ripened uiatu rlty is reckoned and already doing | deeds of national moment deists of ! international moment, to lie exact, for inside of two weeks of taking the oath he had put up to him the defense of the government in the Alaska sen I fisheries controversy, at which the courts and the diplomats of three coun tries the I'ultcd States, England and t'anada had been dinging for fourteen years. Briefly the sum and substance of it was this: We liad captured and eou deinncd to be sold the Canadian schooner Sayward for Illegal ttoaling In | Alaska waters. llngLnnd and Canada «up[iorted the claim of the owner for damages, which wo rejected Pend ing arbitration the case was brought ' unexpectedly before the supreme court. It was ck-ver tactics on the other fel low's part, and it put us in rather a pickle. While ('annda would not Is bound by an adverse decision if the case went against Uer—that Is. she would not Is- compelled to accept the decision as final—should we lose the fact of our losing in our own court would count against us. The new solicitor general suited in. He read the documents He clutched and held fast. When he emerged from the murk of international law, treaties, precedent and kindred clarities he had a 300 page brief ready to prvsent to the court. It won for him and for the I'nited States against two of the best lawyers In the hind—Joseph 11. Chonte and Colderon Carlisle, Jr. Then it fell to him to defend the McKlnley bill In an notion brought by an Importing firm who objected to paying higher duties imjsised by the bill and pleaded that Speaker Weed's way of counting a quorum, by which tactics the bill had passed the house of representatives, was unconstitution al. Tho importers urged that enough members present in the house, al though constituting a numerical quo rum, could break a quorum by not voting. "If voting and not present is neces sary to make a quorum, why is the speaker empowered to employ the ser geant nt. arms of the house to compel absentees to attend with the object of making a quorum?" queried Mr. So llcltor General Tnft. The McKlnley bill was saved. The young solicitor general won, won, won arid kept on winning for the government for the two years he was in office. Then President Harrison set him upon what Mr. Taft felt would be the track leading to his real ambi tion—the supreme court bench. He named him as circuit judge. Judge Taft accepted unhesitatingly, lie did It in face of the well meant advice of friends who wanted him to be a money maker. Attractive partnerships were proposed to him by big law firms, part nerships that meant $40,000, $50,000 and SIIIO,OOO a year. The emoluments of the bench were only SO,OOO annual ly. Judge Taft shook his head. "There are bigger and better things than mon ey," was his reply to these gilded sug gestions. lie was then thirty-five, ne was a poor man, but he had enough. He is now fifty-one and a poor man still by the standard of the dollar. New Biography of Cleveland. The authorized life of Grover Cleve land is to be written by a personal friend.
