MARK HANNA'S BIG JOB.
Some of the Things Demanded of a
Ca nj paign Director.

In accepting the Craftsmanship OF the
Republican National Committee Mark
Hanna has undertaken a BIC job. He
will be one of the busiest men in the
country during the next four months.
Fortunately he is of robust constitution.
One of the chief duties of the campaign
manager is to raise a campaign fund.
The greater part of the million dollars
used in a national campaign belongs to
the national campaign fund and is dis
tributed by the national chairman. 1t is
sen to the States where it is most need
ed and the national chairman must X
ercise good judgment in the distribution
of it, if the party is to achieve the best
results. In a great many campaigns
money has been spent uselessly in n
State and withheld from another State
where it would have done the party
good.
In several States there is an elaborate
system of canvassing and keeping a
record of the doubtful voters. This
work is collected by townships and
then is entered in a large book for the
guidance of the State committee. The
committee complies a list of the doubt
full voters who may be 10000 or even
10000. To all these campaign litera-
ture is sent and after a time a man is
assigned to see each of them and argue
with him the necessity of voting the
Republican ticket.
All of this involves a great deal of
expense. The missionaries as a rule do

Our Consular Service.

"The consular service is the practical
and business side of IL foreign in
t%ercOurse." writes eX-PreSident Harri-
son in the Ladies' Home Journal.
There are more than twelve hundred
persons in the consular service of the
United States. These are located in
the important commercial cities and
towns of the world. and are described
generally as Consuls General, COnsuls,
commercial agents. interpreters, mar
shals and clerks. The duties of a
Consul are various and m~ultifarious.
He is the protector and guardian Of
American commerce.; provides for des-
titute American sailors and sends them
home; he takes charge of the effects
Of American citizens dying in his jnris-
dictiOn, having no legal representatives;
he receives the declaration or protests
of citizens in any matter affecting
their rights: he keeps a record of the
arrival and departure of American
ships and of their cargOes, and looks
after vessels wrecked; he reports any
new inventions or improvements ia
manufacturing processes that he may
observe, and all useful information re-
lating to manufactures, population, sci
entitic discoveries. or progress in the
useful arts. and all events or facts that
may affect the trade of the United
States. and authenticates invoices and
statements of the market value of mer-
chandise to be shipped to the United
States. Every Consulate is a omme
cial outpost; and if the service could
be given permanence of tenure. and
a corps of men of competent equip
ment, it would become Il powerful
agency in extending our commerce.

not labor for nothing, and the clerical
work is costly. There are travelling eX-
penSes, the hire of horses and vehicles
to drive through the country, station
cry and printing and postage. All these
expenses are legitimate and necessary
for the conduct Of a systematic cam
paign. Then there are the expenses Of
campaign orators who receive in some
cases also large salaries. Finally, there
are campaign writer's. For the national
committee and the State committee as
we'll keep on their pay rolls many train
ed newspaper men, who furnish ed;to-
rails to the press for the benefit of the
party in the campaign. There are other
uses Of money not so legitimate, but
recognized in doubtful States as neces-
Sarv TO one party because the other par
ty adopts them. The national chair
man also has charge Of the candidate
and regulates to Il certain extent his
conduct and travels an.l no letters are
given to the public by the candidate
without consulting with the manager.

JUDGE LYMAN TRUMBULl.
The Distinguished Jurist Was
Termed "America's Gladstone"

The Distinguished Jurist Was
Termed "America's Gladstone"
Judge Lyman Trumbull, who recent
ly passed away at his home in Chicago,
was fortunate and honored in life.
He was contemporary with the begin
ing and the end of the great anti-slav-
cry contest. He saw that sorrowful
time, so eloquently pictured and de
plored by Webster, when States were
discovered, discordant, %belligerent. and
the land "a rent with civil feuds and
and drenched in fraternal blood, and he
lived to see his country restored, re-
generated and d~isenthralled, its flag
floating over the land and over the
sea, bearing on its ample folds the
blazing inscription, Liberty and Tn
ion. Now and Forever. One and lnsep-
arabic" In all this Lyman Trumbull
bore a great and distinguished part.
In a contest for the senatorship of
Illinois he was elected over Mr.. Lin
coin. who withdrew in his favor, and
five years later he was one of the fore
most advocates of Lincoln's election to
the Presidency. Then came the civil
war and all the complicated questions
growing out of ii. and Senator Trum-
bun brought to the solution of those
questions a sagacity, a knowledge of
law and a di~spaSsionate temper that
made him the WiSest of c~ounselorS and
the most patriotic of statesmen. Dur
ing the eighteen years of his senator
ial tenure he was the peer of Suinner
and FeSSenden. of Grimes and of Sew
ard. of Chase and of Wade. No man
in all that famous catalogue of states
men deserved better Of his country
men than Lyman Trumbull.
Judge Trumbull was born in ColcheS-
ter. Conn. Oct. l.. 1913. At the age
of 20 he had charge of an academy at
Greenville. Ga. In 1887 he was ad-
mitted to the bar of that State. He
shortly thereafter removed to Illinois,
and in 1910 was elected a represent
ative in the Legislature; before the eX-
piration of his term he was appointed
Secretary of State and fulfilled the
duties of the latter office for two years.
Thereafter in the practice of his pro-

line.
SaEdwiched in between the big PEG
pie are exercises from all the little
youngsters, whose mothers-whOse
fathers, too, possibly-are present, and
a one-act drama is presented to the en-
tire satisfaction Of the audience-and
Duse can do no more than that.
And, then. somehow or other, when
the last 'song of the school" has been
sung. when the curtain has been lifted
and lowered for the last time. when
there is a sense of grounding this side
of pOrt-that unSpeakable teacher is up
and talking. For the first time the sense
of pupils takes in this larger fact. Last
day of school, means a severance Of
ties, a farewell to some things that
were pleasant, a loss of this man-and
it is a loss. 1t must be. for looking back
from this height not a thing can be re-
called wherein he did wrong. On what
basis sat the framework of his bad
character no II can see for not a
memory there retains a charge against
him.
He is crying a little himself. The
are all crying because their
children are crying to see him cry. And
the men are altogether serious. The big
boys blow their noses to hide the rise
of ears and the big girls dry their eyes
very daringly.
There is a luncheon spread all over
the desks and benches later, and from
wagon hitched along the road outside
come baskets full of country dainties.
There is an abundance of honest cheer.
The windows and doors are open, for
the afternoon is so warm.
And then come farewells, when the
teacher shakes hands with boys who
have hated him bitterly all winter
boys who cordially honor him now;
when he just misses being tender in his
goOd-by to the girls: when he finally
rounds out the work with mingled grief
and pleasure, locks the door, gives the
key to the director. watches the bun

He was reelected in 1851 and again
in 1867. making in all eighteen conscc-
utive years service in the Senate. At
the expiration of his term Of service
in the Senate he resumed the practice
of his profession in Chicago. With no
MAJ in our public life to-day can Judge
Trumbull he compared. but in intellec-
tual force he may we'll be likened to En-
glands grand old man, William Ewart
Gladstone.
In 1913 Judge Trumbull was married

who died in Washington in 1868. on
Nov. 3. 1877. he married. in Saybrook,
Conn, Miss Mary j. lngraham. Six

For it has taken somewhat more than

transformation. There is no retreating,

there are better results from graded

but they do not lend a gracious blessing
to the last day of school. They spill a
drop of bitterness into the pupils cup
of bliss on this final day of a long COM

are good. OF course they are right.
That is conceded by every teachers in

house is very full all the morning. The

OF course. What more could be expect

The weather gets warmer as "the last
