the biggest corporations in the
United States, the Standard Oil
company and the Beef trust.
1t is probable that before long
he will have added to his list the United
States Steel corporation. Mr.. Garfield
is plain, matter-of- fact gentleman, pos
sessed of the valuable secret of keeping
his own counsel He pursues the even
tenor of his way, directing corps OF
inspectors in their investigation of cor
porations, without paying any attention
to criticism or commentator. Like the
Wisconsin statesman who 'seen his
duty and done it," Mr.. Garfield has little
thought of anything but carrying out in
structions from the president and
filling the requirements of the law that
governs his bureau.
Mr.. Garfield is the youngest son Of the
late President Garfield, and was mere
"kid' when his father occupied the
white house. He has had f1attering
public career for man of his age, hav-
ing been successful lawyer, member
of the Ohio senate, civil service commits
rations, a position that is hardly sec
ond to that of secretary of the depart
ment of commerce ITSELF He is such
matter-of-fact gentleman that there are
few anecdotes and stories told about
him. He is serious-minde although
appreciative of good joke, but seldom
makes one himself. He was a close
friend of the late Senator Hanna, and
the latter was very anxious that young
Garfield should have placed him in nom
ination before the Ohio legislature for
the senatorship, to succeed John Sher-
man. The latter would have been proud
of the honor, but he re1inquished it in
favor of close personal friend, John ].

secretary of the treasury. The last grad
uate from this institution is Hon. Rob-
ert B. Armstrong, better known as
Bobby" Armstrong, the young assist
ant secretary of the treasury, who was
brought into prominence by Secretary
Shaw. Mr. Armstrong has just left the
government service to accept the presi-
dency of the Casualty Company of Amer
lea, a New York insurance concern.
Some five years ago Bobby" Armstrong
was hustling, bright young newspa-
per man, whose work attracted the at
tention of Mr. Shaw
When Mr.. Shaw became secretary of
the treasury, he made young Armstrong
his private secretary, and later, when
vacancy occurred in the most important
assistant secretaryship of the depart
ment, he recommended the young man
for appointment. Mr.. Armstrong was
then not more than % years of age, and
the youngest man who ever held the Of
fee. He filled the position for some
two years, and has left it to accept one OF
higher salary by probably $4,000 year
than he has been receiving. In this he
has followed the example of Hon. Frank
A. Vanderlip, who came here as private
secretary to Lyman ]. Gage, Mr.. Shaws
predecessor at the head Of the treasury
department. Vanderlip also became an
assistant secretary of the treasury, po-
sition which he left to accept the vice
presidency of a big banking institution
in New York.
Hon. Milton e. Allies, who began pub
lie life as coal HEAVIER in the treas
ury department, working from that po-
sitiOn to an assistant secretaryship, has
also graduated from the government
financial school, and is now vice presi-
dent of big bank in Washington.
James H. Eckles and Charles G. Dawes,
now prominent in financial circles in
Chicago, are also graduates of the treas
ury school, both having held the position
of comptroller of the currency. Half
dozen other men holding influential po-
sitions in the financial world began
their careers in the treasury depart
ment.
