ticle in prominent newspaper ia the
east, giving historical facts concerning
all the commanders of the American
army from George Washington to Mel
sen a. Miles. 1t was excellent work.
But the boy was now getting to be
nan, and he was ambitious to work
for himself. He sought and secured
employment from a daily paper in
Wheeling, W. Va, and proceeded to rem
der efficient service, albeit his salary
was messcr. lie still retained his con-
nection with the newspaper man under
whose training he had grown. but he
reached out fC1 himself in a commend
able manner.
He became intensely interested in the
affairs of West Virginia. Having as
certained at the navy department that
within year number of new cruisers
would be named after principal cities Of
the country, this young man filed an
application for the city of Wheeling,
soliciting the secretary of the navy to
name one of the new cruisers of the
navy after the principal city of West
Virginia. His application was placed
on file, but nothing would have come of
it but for the energy and determina-
ton of character which the young nan
displayed. He wrote articles about the
application, melted action on tine part
of the citizens of Wheeling, AMI then
urged Senators Faulkner and Elklns to

Therefore he was obliged to become ac-
quainted with the senators and repre-
sentatives from Pennsylvania, New
York, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota,
Iowa, Nebraska and other western
states.
You may we'll imagine that it was no
easy task. Your young friends will un-
derstand very we'll that it must have
been embarrassing to meet with popu-
lar political leaders from various sec
tons of the country. 1t would embar-
rass any young man But it was part
Of the duty of the profession which this
lad sought to learn. and he went about
it Systematically and diligently.
The day before Lieut.. Gen. Schotield
retired from command of the army,
this young reporter, then but little past
his nineteenth birthday. called upon
the old commander in his Office at the
war department, and secured from him
interesting interview concerning his
feelings and regrets at severng his con-
nection with the army after lifetime
OF service. Older and more expert
enced newspaper men tried to inter
view the lieutenant general, but he
would not talk to any of them.
When Gen. Miles was placed in COM

Especial Washington Letter.l


This is story of commendable en-
deavor and noteworthy achievement.
Very often in the newspapers and
sometimes on signs in front of store
doors we see the words: Boy wanted"
But did it ever occur to you how few
boys there are to be had, who are worth
having, to merchants and other busi-
ness men?
Four years agol wanted boy; an hon.
est, industrious and educated boy. You
may advertise day after day for weeks
and possibly for months, and not get
good, well-bred, honorable, gentleman
ly, capable boy. But when you also
want a boy who can write shorthand
ard transcribe on typewriter the diff
ficulty becomes the more pronounced.
A longtime personal friend one Sun
day afternoon came to my house and III
troduced a slender, modest, unpreten-
tious youth, who had seen so little Of
the world that he blushed like school
girl when he was addressed and made
answer to inquiries He did not claim
to be an expert stenogrs pher or rapid
typewriter. He simply wanted an op-
portunity to develop what talent
he might possess. and he was willing to
learn. Gentlemen who had known him
from the cradle spoke of him in the
highest terms. He seemed to be just the
hoy wanted, and he went to work.
Gradually, timidly, gingerly he began
TO learn the corridors, committee rooms
and Offices in the big capitol building;
the places where news items are cb-
tanned hv the diligent correspondents
Ct metropolitan newspapers. Within
month he knew all of the routine work,
and performed il like a veteran. lie
was, first of all, reliable young man.
Not one out of thousand is always and
under all circumstances reliable. But
when this young man had learned the
work he did it well, and, when evening
came, his employer was satisfied that
no news item had escaped the vigilance
of the youthful worker. He was well
assured that the young man had done
his duty every day, just as well and as
iaithfully as his employer could have
done it for himself.
Then the young man had another les
son to learn, and it was not so easy.

Young man was obliged to become ac-

He was taught to approach public
men as the fully accredited representa-
tive of his employer. Public men were
told that the young man could be trust
&C with private affairs, and they were rc-
quested to talk freely with him. His
modesty of demeanor proved to be
captivating, and he soon won his way

Real Enjoy ment In Truth Only.

Praise, honor and respect-these are
sweet to all men. 1t is not surprising to
us that they are sweet to the man who
deserves them. They are the rewards
of noble action, high character, real
worth. AS the laborer is proud and
happy at the close Of the day to re-
ceive his wages, feeling that he has
earned what he receives and that it is
all his own, and honorably his
own, so the man who has, and

go to the secretary of the navy and re-
quest that one of the cruisers be named
Wheeling. They did so, but had little
nope of accomplishing anything by
their requests.
But the young reporter was hope
full, earnest and audacious. He kept
track of the proceedings in the navy de-
partment, and when the cruisers were
about to be named he called upon Post
master-GeneIal Wilson, who mad beer a
West Virginia congressman for II years,
aud urged him to see the secretary of
the navy in behalf of his application
that one of the cruisers be named
Wheeling. In compliance with this re-
quest the postmaster-general saw the
secretary of the navy and suggested the
propriety of naming cruiser after the
city of Wheeling. And it was done.
When you remember that few men
of experience in public life have
the courage to approach a mcm-
bcr of the cabinet with sugges-
tions, particularly concerning q pro-
posed important executive action, you
will realize that this young man exhib-
tied considerable moral courage and
displayed an unusual amount of self
reliance He was seeking nothing for
himself, asking no individual favor, but
was pressing the claims of prominent
city to recognition in an important mat
ter. He wisely and sagaciously dis
Cerned the necessity of political infu-
ence to accomplish his object, and hence
called upon statesmen who had been
honored by the suffrage of the people of
West Virginia. Moreover, he urged
them TO 60 to the front. His last ag-
gressive movement deserves particular
praise.
He knew that Postmaster General
Wilson and Secretary of the Navy Her
bert had served together in the ma
tional house of representatives for at
least half a score of years; and that
their personal and political relations
were of the most cordial nature. He
knew that if the postmaster general
could be induced to make an earnest
plea to the secretary of the navy, his
request would most likely be granted.
Therefore he sought the postmaster
general at the most opportune time and
solicited his interest in the case. by
so doing he clinched his arguments and
appeals and achieved success in his un-
dertaking. You may well believe tina,
he was a proud young man when he was
able to telegraph his paper at Wheel
ing that one of the new cruisers had
been named Wheeling.
On Wednesday evening, November 10
the city council of Wheeling passed
resolutions Of thanks to the secretary
of the navy, to the senators, to the post
master general, and also to Leroy j
McNeely, the young newspaper mar
who originated the idea and fosterec
it until success was won. 1t is believed
that this is the only instance in which
any one newspaper man has been in
tuential or potential in securing execu
tive action favorable to any city in th
matter of the naming of cruiser fol
the new navy. Heretofore the homo
has been conferred in compliance will
the action of municipal and state au
thorities, petitioning through their con
gressional representatives. In this in
stance, the originator, promoter ant
guardian or the idea was one man, an,
he but barely attaining his majority.
