him the American people realized two
things. One was that Loomis WIS
absolutely unfit for the diplomatic ser
vice, which he had disg-aced, and tEa
other was that he had strong pull
with the administration. but it was
not shown exactly whac the pull con
sisted of. Considerable light. however,
has recently been thrown on the mat
ter by the Washington correspondent
OF the New York Press. Commenting
on the intention of Mr.. Root to re-
organize the state department, the
correspondent says that the first step
in this direction will be the retire
ment of Mr.. LOomis, but this will not
mean any reflection on the late Sec
rotary Hay, whose health was so bad
during the last four years of his life
that ne was unable TO properly attend
to all the duties of his Office. Tie
dispatch to the Press then says:
at has been generally recognized
that Mr.. Loomis had been the pOliti-
clan of the state department for the
last two years. In consultation with
the president, he managed all matters
of promotion, appointments and trans
fers ard has really been the most
powerful factor about the state de-
rartment His newspaper and politi-
cal experience fitted him for that. Mr..
Hsv had absolutely no interest in
state or party politics during the last
two years of his life. he took only
the broad general interest Of a man
long associated with the governmeT,
in an appointive place and having his
home in the District OF Columbia.
where no one is able to vote. LOOMS
managed 1t all for him"
The fact that LOOMS was the politi-
cal agent of the administration in the
state department and naturally pos
sessed many important political Sec
rcts explains quite clearly why he was
not punished for his grating opera
tions as minister to Venezuela, and
also why be was whitewashed and 70

Suppressing the News.
There is a disposition among MANY
people to. withhold information from
a newspaper man, often without appa-
rent good reason or other motive seem
ingly than to thwart him in his legiti-
mate pursuit of giving to the public
such information as in his judgment
may be of interest.
AS a rule such efforts on the part Of
these secretive and mysterious person
ages are wholly fruitless. Given a
newspaper man of thorough training
and average fitness for his profession
and he has a knack of discovering the
most carefully guarded secrets, where
these secrets are of such nature as
to constitute the commodity in which
he deals-legitimat news.
A newspaper man worthy of the
name is never a prying busybody.
Family skeletons or private scandals
have no interest for him. The sanctity
OF the home is always respected. But
he is not to be thwarted by the idiotic
whims of those persons who refuse
him information merely because il
does not suit their personal pleasure
to see a given matter in print. The
moral to this little screedl is that when
a newspaper man asks you for infor-
nation relative to any matter in
which you are interested it would be
tc your interest to comply with the re-
quest, or give courteous reason why
otherwise you may rest assured you
will see the story in print anyway,
and while it may not be dealt with
from your point of view, its correct
ness in all essential details will sur
prise you.-Lakeland News.
