MOODY AND HIS SUCCESSOR.
Morton Reluctant to Accept Porto
lilo of Navy Department.

Several newspapers have said that Mr.
Morton will be the Cabinet representa-
tive and champion of the railroad and
other corporate interests with which he
has been closely identified ever since he
was fifteen years old. The President
invited and urged him to accept a Cabf-
net position as bid for the support of
the interests he represents. When asked
to accept the navy portfolio, Mr.. Nor
ton said he did not think he could afford
TO give up his present position. but Mr..
Roosevelt was so insistent that he
agreed 10 take it under consideration.
While he was hesitating the President
offered him his choice between the Navy
and Commerce and Labor and again
urged him to accept one of the places.
Representative Metcalf having said he
would take the one which was left.
Mr.. Morton still was in doubt and the
question was not settled unta the night
before his appointment was announced
Mr.. Moody entered the Cabinet Nav /
1902 He had intended TO resign next
winter. but the President is anxious TO
retain him and he has promised that If
Mr.. Roosevelt is elected he will stav in
the Cabinet at least until next year a nd
probably longer.

A GOOD RAILR0ADER.
Morton's Old Associates Testify to,
His Ability.


Morton Noble. freight agent Of the
Chicago. Burlington and Quincy.
in Cleveland. Ohio IS cousin
OF Mr.. Morton. and when boy was a
frequent visitor at the home of his uncle
]. Sterling Morton. father Of Paul Nor
ton. at Nebraska City. Sterling Morton
served as Secretary of Agriculture under
President Cleveland in his second Ad-
ministration.
Mr.. Morton said Mr.. Noble recently.
'1s like the President himself in that he
does things He is one Of the most
energetic men I ever knew. The men
with whom he associated IN the early
days on the Burlington had him marked
for higher things. lie began with the
road as a clerk in the land Office way
back in 1872. II was only a few years
until he was assistant general freight
agent and after that general passenger
agent of the entire Burlington system.
He left the Burlington TO enter the
iron and fuel business, and II was as
president OF the White Breast Fuel Com
pany that he distinguished himself dur
ing the great Chicago railway strike
HIS activity at this time brought him
to the notice of the Santa Fe Railroad
Company This road offered him the
second vice presidency and he accepted
II. It was In his connection with the
Santa Fe that ne first met President
Roosevelt
81 have noticed some criticism in the
papers of the Presidents appointment,
on the ground that Mr.. Morton has no
special knowledge of the department af-
fairs. Those who know Mr.. Morton well
will have no fear that he will not be
able TO rise TO the occasion His career
has indicated that he Is man quite big
enough for the portfolio which has been
rendered him"
Another Cleveland railway man. w. F.
Mcmillan. general agent of the c., B. &
G.. is intimately acquainted with Mr..
Morton. When both were young In the
service OF the road they used 10 room
together in Nebraska City. and were
employed in the same office.
Morton was a very popular fellow
/ in those days" said Mr. Mcmillan, ''and
ii seems to have stuck 10 him pretty
well in later years. He was ambitious
and energetic and he did not linger with
the boys he began railroading with.
IN a Jew years he was holding high
| positions on the Burlington. and in a
| sew years more he was out and away
from US altogether. The old employees
of the Burlington have always taken
pride in Morton's successes, and Ii is
/ certain that all OF them will agree With
| the President that he is just ,.se right
sort OF fellow to MI Mr.. Moody's chair. .

Morton Not Altogether Like the

one who knows the new Secretary
has written Of him as follows:
Morton takes a place in the cabinet
because OF his desire to assist In the
Administration of Theodore Roosevelt
The two are men Of much the same type

Presidents impulsiveness. but IS very
prudent and self-contained- This is one
respect in which the President likes 10
have his associates differ from him.
Il had been the Presidents original
intention to try 10 get Morton for the
Department OF Commerce and Labor,
to succeed Secretary Cortelyor- This,
however. was considered undesira be.
The Bureau Of Corporations comes
within this department. and while the
President realized that Morton was too
big a man and too patriotic TO be in
fuenced in the performance OF duty oy

as a concession TO popular prejudice
