iNWirPidKJOhfC CABINET'S GRAND OLD MAN 1 Thus far all efforts to drag James Wilson of lowa, seerotary of agriculture, into the Taft-Bal / linger-Pinchot fight have been unavailing. "The / grand old man of the cabinet" says nothing and K \w -yJS saws wood. \f ' n ''' s ' onß >' ears as a cabinet officer, Secre- '■ M tary WUson has seen many fights. He should, V"/ v v m anf * does, know by this time how to conduct hini- V so ® n Rucb matters. President Taft calls up wL on Mr. Wilson for information or an explanation, T he W 'H get it- No doubt the president already has V CAv 't u '/ iy dWiiX ut 'be old newspaper correspondents of Washington know i( is useless to try to get Mr. '' son to enter into any controversy. He can /ss('fflzruYW c!oso His mouth tighter than any man in Wash -li'i i' I ' tmAUUA jngton when it is necessary. Secretary Wilson not only has the distinction of having served longer as a cabinet officer than any other man, but he has seen a procession of cabinet officers as his associates unequalled by any other man. In the days of Albert Gallatin, who now has second place as a long term cabinet officer, there wore not as many cabinet places as at present, and in those days it was not customary to make so many changes. While Mr. Wilson has been in office, there have been five secretaries of state, John 'Sherman, William R. Day, John Hay, Klihu Root and Philander C. Knox. There have been four secretaries of the treasury, Lyman J. Gage, Les lie M. Shaw, George R. Cortelyou and Franklin MacVeagh. There have been five secretaries of war, Russell A. Alger, Ellhu Root, William H. Taft, Luk'j E. Wright and Jacob M. Dickinson. There have been five attorneys general, John W. Griggs, Philander C Knox, William H. Moody, Charles J. Bonaparte and George W. Wickersham. There have been seven postmasters general, James A. Gary, Charles Emory Smith, Henry C. Payne, Robert J. Wynne, George 1!. Cortelyou, George von L. Meyer and Frank H. Hitchcock. There have been six secretaries of the navy, John D. Long, William H. Moody, Charles J. Bonaparte, Victor 11. Metcalf, Truman 11. Newberry and George von L. Meyer. There have been four secretaries of the interior, Cornelius N. Hliss, Ethan Allen Hitchcock, James R. Garfield and Richard A. Ballinger. There have been four secretaries of commerce and labor, George B. Cortelyou, Victor 11. Metcalf, Oscar S. Straus and Charles Nagel. NAVY'S SURGEON GENERAL Dr Charles F. Stokes, who has been appointed surgeon general of the United States navy to suc \ ceed Dr. Presley M. Rixey, retired, is one of the JJgyJjj,; youngest officers of the medical corps. Although only 47 years of age, he has had considerable ex perience in the practice of his profession. A grad y- uate of the College of Physicians and Surgeons of K New York city, his earliest service was in Belle- Wi \[ vue hospital and the New York city hospital. I ' n Febrpary, 1880, he was appointed an as v ■////'' f 1 ~ I distant surgeon in the navy, and since the-* has J served in many important stations in all parts of v/ the world. From 1892 to 1895 he had charge of l he United States Naval hospital at Yokohama, Japan. Hij} Dining the Spanish-American war he equipped and organized the medical department of the am bulance ship Solace and was senior operating surgeon on that vessel during the West Indian campaign. During the Boxer troubles, in China, and during tiie Philippines insurrection, he was attached to the U. S. S. Buffalo and subsequently served on the Oregon, Wisconsin and other vessels in Pacific and Asiatic waters. From 1903 until 1906 he was On duty in this city as pro fessor of surgery in the Naval medical school and as one of the attending physicians to President Roosevelt and his iamily. During the next two years he commanded the United States Naval hospital at San Juan, P. R. While engaged in that duty he was summoned to Washington by the navy depart ment and placed in command of the United States hospital ship Relief, for service with the Atlantic fleet, in its memorable cruise around the world. His detail to that command was vigorously opposed by the line officers of the navy and resulted in the resignation of Rear Admiral W. S. Brownson as chief of the bureau of navigation. SENATOR FLINT TO RETIRE | Those persons who have been wont to call the United States senate "the Millionaire's Club," ,\ ,\ had a rude shock the other day when one of the 9f¥ membwrs of the senate issued an announcement W/ • that lie will not he a candidate for re-election be \ «-■ > cause he hasn't sufficient money to keep up a po- P® 3 *- \%l litical tvachine and can't afford to make the race. | 112 >J /v The members of the senate are not all ®/ millionaires. In fact it is probable that there are ly fewer men who count their wealth in seven fig < j ures in the senate than there are who do. It has become a sort of understanding, however, that a flpgl man mu st have a million to be elected a senator. £% 11 was Stnator Frank P. Flint of California, zjWL w ho said he was too poor to run for election again. 'lfll'lf/ lie said it in these words: "It is my desire to make public at this time my determination not to be a candidate for re-election to the office of United Slates senator. I reached this decision some time ago. J have delayed ma king public announcement of my purpose, however, in deference to the earn est request of friends in California, but I feel now that it would be unfair to myself to delay this announcement any longer. "The considerations which have led to my determination may be stated very simply. Under the primary law in the state of California, it has become a requisite essential to success that a candidate for the United States senate •hould have a personal political organization in every state senatorial and as sembly district. "I have not myself the means to maintain such an organization, nor would I be willing to enter on a contest for the United States senate wherein others contributed to keep tip a state-wide organization in my behalf." IS ELKINS AN INSURGENT? Has Senator Stephen H. Elkins of West Vir / ginia become an insurgent? Has he joined the / ~ Cumimns-LaFollette ranks? Has he decided to / tlie powers that be in the "PPer branch of J , congress? 1 These are a few of the questions being asked (/," since the West Virginian arose in the senate sev oral days ago and declared himself "off the res '\utiTrMlPMW ervation," because the senate finance committee mMimW reported a resolution introduced by Senator Lodge \ " / > / '/ 7 ili''if' of Massachusetts > providing for an investigation \eWllllmt\ lfe cost of living, as a substitute for one I(Mill °f eret ' *^' r - Klhins. A °" Ce durlng ,lle ,arifr bat,lc . Mr. Elkins ft j I showed that he is not entirely satisfied to be led Ms s I'll''"H- by the nose by certain members from New Eng land. He got what he wanted and it was sup posed that he would be satisfied, but it seems that the West Virginia senator nil) has an idea that it pays to be independent. Why shouldn't Mr. Elkins be independent? It is said that he is worth more than $50,000,000. The question naturally is repeated time and again Why should a man with that much money allow another man to tell him what he should do, or what he should not do? It may be said that Mr. Elkins has not Joined the insurgents. It may also he said that the insurgents would like to have him with them. With Elkins, LaFollette, Cummins, Dolliver and Beveridge fighting together, there is little question concerning how long the standpatters would hold out It would make a fighting squad that would be hard to beat, and Aldrich is smart enough to know it. Consequently i? was the Elkir.s resolution and not the Lodge resolution that was adopted, and when the senate decided to investigate the high cost of living, it is; likely that there will be no whitewashing.
