Philadelphia Ledger, the dean OF the
correspondents corps, and who mas
been engaged in Washington newspa-
per work for generation, has been
selected as the head of the bureau OF
manufactures in the department Of
commerce and labor. The selection was
made by the president himself, who
has known Maj. Carson for many years
and has watched his high-grade work
as a correspondent.
Mai. Carson is known all the coua-
try over by his initials j. M. c.
which have been appended to his dis
patches and letters in the Philadelphia
Ledger for nearly 80 years. He has
long been regarded as an authority on
tariff and finance, and he has done
notable newspaper work on all the
great questions and issues that have
arisen in the capital city since the
'70s. BY popular consent he mas been
breyeted Major" although he has
strenuously endeavored to keep his
title to that which legitimately belongs
to him. He never was major in the
army. EUC rose lIOul lAt 1sanh VI SSs-
oud lieutenant to that Of senior cap
tain in his regiment during three
years service in the civil war. He has
q splendid military record, and one
that his friends insist should have
given him the title of major; so they
have supplied that rank, and he has
| been known as Maj. Carson for quar-
ter Of a century. It is only surprising
that he is not q general" as no place
| in the world are titles so easily at
tanned and promotions SO quickly made
by popular favor as in this city.
Mai. Carson's work as head OF the
| bureau of manufactures will to great
degree be that of promoter. The
| object of the bureau is to supply in
| formation to the business interests OF
the country regarding trade abroad
| and the markets of the world that Will
be useful in developing American com
merce. No one can do this work more
intelligently than this veteran neWspa-
per correspondent.

HABITS OF NOTED MEN.

Andrew Carnegie's pet aversion u
tobacco. At his New York residence
one evening recently he gave dinner,
and, as usual, was genial host. After
the coffee Mr.. Carnegie confessed his
dislike Of smoke In such way that
plainly indicated he would be DIS
pleased il any Of his guests avalled
themselves of the opportunity to retire
to the billiard-room.
Senator Elect Brandegee OF Con-
necticut makes point OF being scru-
pulously polite, though thoroughly DEM
ocratic It Is habit of his never
to talk to a woman with his head
covered. On the street or in an ele-
vator or in the office he lives up to
this rule. In addition he has the
highest respect for women workers.
He said at one time: 1.-THE women
who toll are the only women Of rank
In America.
Robert Hoe, the famous builder OF
printing presses, has this for his IA
vorite maxim: st is better to get be-
hind thing and push it along, than
get in front Of 1t and drag it after
you. In other words, it is the work,
not the man, that should attract at
tention." This expression OF reserve
helps to explain why it is that Mr.. Hoe
is never interviewed in the newspa-
pers. He has an air Of elegant leis-
ure, but works as hard as any OF his
employees, thoroughly understanding
every detail Of his vast business.
Iwawa Oyama, the Japanese Ma
poleon, is every inch soldier Be-
longing to the most aristocratic class
In his country, he is creator OF the
Japanese army as it is to-day. From
1880 to 1889 he worked on the Ger
man plans of organization, but sub
sequently discarded 1t in favor OF the
French system. on which lines he
brought the military forces to their
present marvellous state Of perfection.
Officially he is man Of the fewest
possible words, but in private he is
q delightful companion, witty and en-
tertaining

strength and virility on the New Yof8
Tribune before he entered the diplos
matte service and began career that
has made him the premier Of the ad-
ministration. Whitelaw Reid, now am-
bassador to Great Britain, has been .
newspaper writer and editor all his
life, and served several years as Q
Washington correspondent.
These two are both frequently spoken
of as newspaper men who have made
their mark in the public service, but
there is an extended list of mer OF that
profession in other departments. There
is Robert J. Wynne, now consul gem
eral to London, who occupied a seat in
Mr.. Roosevelt's cabinet for several
months. He was a Washington CORE.
spondent of more than quarter of .
century's experience. The two civilian
commissioners of the District of Col
umbia, Henry L. West and H. B. F.
Mcfarland, were both prominent mem.
bers Of the Washington corps OF corre-
spondents and newspaper writer's be.
fore they were called upon to run the
district government. Francis E. LeuIp.
for 3S years a writer on the New York
Evening Post, and for more than 20
years its Washington correspondent, 10
Mr.. Roosevelt's commissioner Of In
dian affairs.
Then there is the venteran Gen.
Henry v. Boynton, SO long connected
with the Cincinnati Commercial Ca
cite, who is now at the head Of the
Chickamauga park commission. Other
newspaper men who served as Wash
ington correspondents and are now in
the public service are Assistant Secre-
tary Of the Treasury Reynolds, Chief
of the Bureau of Statistics Austin.
Chief of the Dead Letter Once Young,
H. Conquest Clarke, connected with
the rural free delivery, George w.
Rouzer, in the employ Of the senate.
and George E. Gilleland, also employed
in the senate.

suit of his profession to meet governs
ment officials Of every grade, and he
becomes acquainted with the work OF
every department and bureau. In nine
cases out of ten the disclosure OF
wrongdoing in the public service is
made by newspaper men in the ordi-
nary practice of their profession. They
are quick to discern any unusual de-
parture from routine methods, and it
is an open secret that the industry
and acuteness of newspaper correspon-
dents were mainly instrumental IN
compelling an overhauling of the post
Office department and brought about
the disclosure of crimes and fraudulent
practices.
The newspaper man is also well post
ed on political matters, and, although
under the Roosevelt administration ac-
tive politics are barred in all the de-
partments, the president Is very will
ing to have about him men who are
able to size up political situation and
who appreciate the significance OF
government policies in politics In the
highest sense of the latter term.
New senator's and representatives
coming to Washington are very glad to
secure the services of trained neWspa-
per men as their private and confiden-
tial secretaries The multitude of err
rands that the average congressman is
bound to have in the departments can
be looked after more expeditiously by
men whose training In newspaper work
has made them familiar with all the
ms and outs of departmental life and
work. AS a consequence probably
majority of these private secretaries
have had newspaper training either in
their home districts or in Washington
