MAPPING OUT PLANS
coRTELYou NOW Is
TaE BUSIEST MAMIE WASHINGTON.
Has 40 Devise IA Machinery of the
Department of Commerce and of
the Bureaus CONNECTED with tt.

Since Mr.. Cortelyou became secre-
tary of he has been impor-
tuned to make speeches in many sec
tions of the country at banquets given
by commercial organizations. He has
declined all such invitations. He tells
his would-be hosts that his business
just at present is TO do, not TO talk.
He has been called to organize a great
and important department of govern
ment; as yet he has done nothing but
work at the task of organization. The
greater tasks to be performed by the
new department when it is fully con-
structed have not even been reached.
AT this time his speeches would neces-
sarily deal with hopes and expecta-
tions. He says he prefers to talk
about things which have been accom-
plished.
The big task for the secretary of
commerce just at present, says the
Chicago journal, is to organize the adj
ministrative machinery which is to
take care of the business of all the
great bureaus which are to be trans
ferred July l to the jurisdiction of
the secretary of commerce. All the
employees of the census, the immigra-
ton service, the geodetic and coast
survey, the bureau of standards and
measurements, Chinese exclusion, sta
t~istics, consular reports, labor, fish
commission, steamboat inspection and
the lighthouse board-all these will
have t. be paid and brought into order
under the new regime. To do this
without confusion or interruption of
work is not a simple task. The book
keeping and accounting feature alone
is no small undertaking. Many of the
| departments will move their quarters.
The new building opposite the Willard
hotel is to be ready for occupancy
about that time, and July ! promises

CONDITION NEVER BETTER.
Prosperity in the Eastern Endlof the
state Most Gratifying, Lands and



Parkersburg April 20.-Sanator
Stark L. Baker, Of Beverly. was a Wis
itor in the CITY enroute home from
SDencer. where he had been attending
a meeting of the directors of the Sec
ond Hospital for the Insane, of which
he is a member. He speaks very high
ly of the condition of that institution
and the management of DIR. Lyons and
his assistant. In reply to iii inquiry
as to the general conditions of his sec
tion of the State. Nj r. Baker replied
"All branches of industry in the
Eastern section of the State are more
prosperous than aver before. Lands of
all kinds, whether coal. timber, graz
ing or farming. are selling at much
higher figures than ever before. The
products of the farm demand fancy
prices. the banks are OVERLOOKING with
money, labor is well paid and every
body who desires and strives to be- is
prosperous.
AS to the politician situation, Mr..
Baker said II have never seen the
people better satisfied in the matter
of politics than they are at present.
While there has been some advers Q
criticism of the doings of the late Leg
islature, later DEVELOPMENTS have de-
monstrated the fact that no one under
the nracat,f cx~ctn,r 80 4awaN.zr. - xrn
b~urdened. and it has been shown that
the present tax measures will produce
sufficient revenue to run the machinery
of the state and ut the end of the two
wear period there will be a nice bal-
ance III the treasury if the laws are
enforced and just taxes collected. As
a whole the present situation causes
me to believe that conditions were
never better for Republican success at
the next general election.
"Mr. Dayton will have no opposi-
ton for denomination. We regard
him rather as a national figure and
feel that as he has now passed the
pOotoA1ioC ntuEC. WAtNiO Albb1C ulSAP-
pointments over a small appointment
would cause bitter feelings and a lot
of opposition, he should be returned
to Congress as long as he cares to oc-
cupy the position. Bv hard and con-
scientious work he has achieved a
high position in Congress and we all
take pride in it and will see to it that
he remains where he is.
mo l am not a candidate for Gov
ernor. Of course, if the boys would
thrust it on me l would not give up
my residence in this State to get out
of the way of the nomination nor il
given to me would l refuse it. but ]
l have not thought of nor do I in
tend to become a candidate. The Re.
publican party is rich in material and

majority greater than that given tC

to be a great moving day in govern.
ment circles.
The bureau of manufacture, which
is one of the tsvo new bureaus Gre
ated by the law which made the de-
partment of commerce, is hardly in q
condition yet to be the subject of q
prospectus. What it will be depends
almost entirely on Secretary Cortel-
you's ideas of what it a be made to
be. The law is very vague. The act
reads that it shall be the province and
duty of such bureau, under the direc-
ton of the secretary, to foster, pro-
mote and develop the various manufac-
turing industries of the United States,
and markets for the same at home and
abroad, domestic and foreign, by gath
ering, compiling and publishing and
supplying all available and useful in
formation concerning such industries
and such markets, and by such other
methods and means as may be pre-
scribed by the secretary or prescribed
by the law"
Secretary Cortelyou has not commit
ted himself to any plan for working
out this bureau of manufactures prob
lem. What is said above indicates what
may be done under the law, and what
Mr.. Cortelyou is turning over in his
mind. He is anxious above all things
to have the bureau a practical and use
full branch of the government. He is
determined that it shall not degenerate
into a merely scientific department,
with a pail of scholasticism upon it;
nor does he want it to become a use
less machine for grinding u useless
figures and equally useless facts. He
is feeling his way, soliciting sugges.
ton, and trying to get-at the sentiment
of the best informed and most pro
gressive thought. He knows that his
present work is bound to be most inn
portant, for the character which he
stamps upon the new department it
will in all likelihood carry for many
years to come.

Want to Know About One Thatcher

The State Department for some time past
has been receiving inquiries from people Of
moderate circumstances, and some appar-
emily almost in poverty, as to the opera
tions OF some one known as George w.
Thatcher, who has addressed notes to varf-
Gus persons, representing himself to be the
administrator of vast estates in England.
in which those addressed were Informed
they had an interest. Some at least of
those written to paid fees to Thatcher
and receiving no interest in the alleged es-
tates. inquired of the State Department
for information as to the estates The de-
partment referred some of these inquiries
to the United States embassy at London
and Acting Secretary Loomis has Just re-
ceived a report from that Office to the eff
feet that Thatcher had been prosecuted for
fraud and forgery in London before the
chancery court in 1S99 had pleaded guilty
and had been sentenced to eighteen months
imprisonment A great many of the in
quiries came from Dayton. Ohio, and its
vicinity.
