and sometimes even hourly called into
council by William Mckinley TO advise
him as to the best thing to be done
to preserve the honor and the dignity
of the nation, Charles Warren Fair
banks was always foremost in the list
He was summoned TO the White House
night after night. and during . time
when the grave-t matters were under
consideration the most important OF all
the conferences were held in the Fair
hanks home on Massachusetts avenue
There were gathered the senators and
the cabinet officers who represented the
inner council of The nation. the men
who possessed the absolute confidence
OF President Mskinley. II was la the
upstairs library OF the Fairbanks home
that some OF the most important de-
cisions OF these trying times were first
formulated.
There were scarcely hal: = dozen of
the big men OF the nation present at
those historic conferences. and 1t Is n
sufficient indication OF the capacity for
public service which Senator Fairbanks
has manifested TO refer TO the fact that
although he had b,cn in public life less
than n year his vaiue as a constant ad-
wiser Of the President In the face Of
an infamed public sentiment and on the
er day by day. Other men who psrtici-
pated In those conferences remember and
bear cheerful testimony 10 the extraordi-
nary capacity of the Indiana senator
for looking at all sides of a question OF
public policy and for giving his opinion
dispassionately. without the slightest sus-
picion Of personal bias and with some
thing like a sacred Difference to the best
interests OF the nation.
The history of those momentous con-
fcrences will never be written. as a mat
ter OF course. Mckinley has gone, Ho.
bart has gone. Hanna has gone. and
only few are left OF the men who ac-
tusily shaped the destinirs of the nation
In the early months OF 1SpS. who per
sisted in wise conservatism when de-
lay was necessary. and who provided the
means for carrying the war to a sue
cessful and a glorious conclusion. That
he was even included In the brilliant list
of the confidential advisers of William
Mckinley In the face of war Is 4 sum
eient honor for any man.
An Honor for the Iudianisn.
1t is an additional honor for the In
diana senator, who has been chosen as
the Republican nominee for the vice
presidency. that his associates in pubiic
life, in their private conversation. in
variably refer to his broad-gange ability
TO grasp public questions, to his personal
Integrity. aud to his deep study OF con-
stitutional and international law.
1t is fortunate thing for :he republic
that man OF this stamp should have
been chosen for the nomination. The re-
suit IL that in the event OF the triumph
OF the Republican ticket, which now
seems absolutely secured, the President
inauguratcd next March will have had
the benefit OF more than three years OF
actual experience in the duties of his
oii,ce, while the vice-prcsidens who will
take the oath of Office at the same time
will have behind him not only the bcne-
TT OF more than seven years In the
United States senate. but also OF his
membership in the inner circle OF public
men who actually do things. and who in
times of trial determine the policy of the
nation.
