Close Friend Of Mckinley.

OF course, during the Mckinley admins
tration Mr.. Grosvenor was a power He
and Mr.. Mckinley were good friends as
well as old political comrades in arms, and
Mr.. Grosvenor was frequent and welcome
visitor at the White House. When he got
up In the House In those days a good deal
moro attention WAS paid to him in a
serious way, because it was pretty gen.
orally understood that whatever he said
concerning the policies and plans of the
administration was as good as gospel Just
now Mr.. Grosyenor draws as well as ever
even when in lighter vein, but he does not
sit quite near the throne as in former
years. President Roosevelt is a young
man, and he has surrounded himself with
young men, No council of hoary sages is
called in when some important administra-
ton policy is to be decided. Instead, the
young men who walk into the White House
on such occasions. among them Mr.. Bona
parte. Secretary Of the Navy; Secretary
Metcalfe. Senator Lodge, Commissioner OF
Corporations Garfield and Postmaster GEN
eral Cortelyou, look more like a group of
athletic, energetic business men than like
party advisers and political counsellors.
Mr.. Grosvenor Is not worrying. however
and st1ll keeps in touch with all the avail
able government jobs that are floating
around loose. and occasionally picks up an
odd one for some deserving constituent
from the eleventh Ohio district.

Proposed Probationary Period.

If compulsory probationary service
were established at one Of the recruiting
depots all vicious and undesirable recruits
could be eliminated from the service at a
comparatively trifiins expense before their
actual enlistment: and II the first enlist
ment should be made in all cases for a
period Of one year. 1t Is believed that rela-
lively fewer men, selected as described,
would desert the coiors."
Secretary Taft recommends that Con-
gress authorize an experiment with this
probationary sifting-out process. because
he belieyes that II Is just az important to

Proud of His Ancestry.


When Mr. Grosvenor talks Familiarity, as
he sometimes does of his Ohio district, OF
the way he shakes hands with the sons OF
toll, talks crops to the farmers. prosperity
to the worldngman. fashions with the wo-
men and pats babies on the head at the
rate Of thirty-two per hour, 1t Is easy TO
imagine that he likes to picture himself as
one of the common people, a man who mas
come up from the ranks unaided by any
outside influence. But this L. a great big
mistake, for Mr.. Grosvenor is as proud
OF his ancestry as an English duke, and
the records of his forebears are plastered
all over his autobiography In the Congress
sional Record.
According to his own statement of the
case his grandfather was Col Thomas
Grosvenor of the I'd Connecticut Regiment
in the revolutionary war. His father was
Maj. Peter Grosvenor, who served in the
10Th Connecticut Regiment in the war OF
1912. But he relieves the situation TITLE
by calling attention to the fact that he
never went to school until he was fourteen
years old, and then after attending only a
few terms was considered competent to
teach the young idea how to shoot. Dur
ing the same time he studied law, and In
1857 was admitted to the bar. Since then
politics has claimed him for it's own. He
was chairman of the executive committee
of the Ohio State Bar Association from its
organization for many years; and from the
start looked after the political end of the
game. He was interrupted, however in this
political ambition of his career by the
breaking out of the war, and his very cred
/. table record In The 18th Ohio Volunteers,
from 1861 to IS. when he was raised from
major to brigadier general. is very well
known.
Since that time he has held many town
ship and village offices. was a member or
the state house of representatives from 1874
to '76, serving as speaker of the house
for two years, was presidential elector for
the fifteenth district of Ohio in 1872 and
was chosen to carry the electoral vote OF
the state to Washington. He was presi-
Dental elector at large In 1880; was q
member OF the board of trustees OF the
Ohio Soldiers and Sailors Orphans Home o
xenia. from April 1880, till 1883, and presi-
dent of the board for five years; was dele
