mands of the office. The women Of Alabama should hold it to the credit of Governor Cunningham that he recog- nized these qualities and honored them in a woman, that he rose above the poIitical consideration which would de- mand that some friend or ally should be complimented with the appointment of Recording Secretary.
 The office of Recording Secretary makes demands for the exercise of tact and diplomacy only less than does the office of Private Secretary to the GOV ernor. If the Private Secretary should De otherwise engaged. it is the duty of the Recording Secretary to arrange interviews with the Governor with wis., iting delegations, with State officials or with other prominent visitors to the Executive Department. With the Pri- vate Secretary. the Recording Secretary receives the visitors who come to tho Governors office, from the long-halreo crank who may have a brand new re- ligion, to the self-contained men who may be power In State politics.
 The distinct and peculiar duties or the office are, however, indicated by the name. The Recording Secretary, pri' marily recorded the Governors action upon the matters which come before
  be the issuance of pardon. the issn- ance of proclamation, the appointment of a county official or a member or the Board of Trustees of some important State institution. The record of what the Governor does is maintained by tho Recording Secretary.
 But most important of all of MISS Offutt's new duties will be her work Tn connection with the pardoning power of the Governor. She Is ISow. by virtue of being Recording Secretary to the Goveror Secretary of State Board or Pardons. The State Board of Pardons is composed of the Governor, the Sec retary of State, the Auditor and the Attorney General Although member of the Board the Governor acts separ- ately upon the recommendations Of the Board after 1t has adjourned.
 The Recording Secretary will keep record of everything in connection with the thousand and one applicatios for-par dons from the inmates of Alabama mines and prisons. She will keep on file not only each application but the correspondence which relates to any particular case. These papers Will DC in charge of the Recording Secretary to be handed to the State Board or Far dons at a moments notice, or to De given the Governor whenever he de- sires to look over the papers in some particular case. Moreover. the Record ing Secretary, acting as Secretary or the Board of Pardons, will carry on much of the correspondence In refer-

Mrs. Frederick Schrader of Washing ton is a young Alabama woman whose
 dramatic interviews are important fea- lures of The Washington Post. She is
 a great favorite with the celebrities and a power as well as a popular woe
 man. Her verdict means much to them. It is wonderful how Mrs. Schrader gets down in black and white the picture the character picture--of the most ec- centric of her subjects, A sample of her work which forms so interesting a feature of The Post, is the following
 in an interview with the stage favor
 ite Valerie Bergere:
 This acting is a hard life," said Miss
 Bergere to Mrs. Schrader. "I have
 been in your country fourteen years
 I came from Alsace. I am French and
 Spanish, and when I arrive in the United States I speak only those two Languages. But soon I learn not only English, but German. I have learned ] what it is to live in this land. I know what it is to be hungry. very hungry. almost to starve, and not know where
 you will get bread and butter" Her eyes lost all their snap. their Frenchiness. They were Spanish; a
 melting, dreamy look. almost fearful. | But now 1t Is all different" the
 writer ventured to say. after a long, | impressive pause.
 "Yes, very different.

MISS MAMIE OFFUTT.

Miss Ofrutt .has recently been appoin- ted Recording Secretary to Governor Cunningham to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of MT. Michel Screws. This is another step in Ala bama toward advancing women in the field of endeavor. When 1t Is seen that so sweet, gentle and womanly young woman can fill so important a posi- tion without detriment to herself, the veriest old croker against woman's progress in line of work must stand with uncovered head in the presence of the new women. Miss Offutt has occu- pied a position in the office of the Gov ernor and of the Secretary of State for the past four years and In her career there has won the admiration of all who have come in contact with her.
 The duties of the important office to which Miss onfutt has just been called are most important. It Is the first time
The Montgomery advertiser., 1905-03-05

ence to pending applications. The Secretary notifies applicants, or rather attorneys, or others who are interested in applications when the Pardon Board Is to meet, and she presents the papArs with all the correspondence to the Board.
 When the pardon has been rejected or granted, the Secretary not only en- dorses the action of the Governor upon each application, but she records it in a book which the law requires for that purpose.
 The Recording Secretary sustains a confidential relation second only to that of the Private Secretary. She will conduct much of the correspondence of the executive department. some of which is necessarily of the most con- fidential nature. She will in her office come into secrets vitally affecting the welfare of the State long before the public has had any intimation of the approaching event or action.
 This, however, will be no novel ex- pefience for Miss Offutt, for as the Governors confidential stenographer for the past four years, she has been the recipient of innumerable secrets. The fidelity with which she has guarded this confidence, the thoroughness with WnlCh Sne mas QlScnaTSeQ the uuIleS Ol her office, are highly commended in the most eloquent way by the remarkable compliment which Governor Cunning ham has paid her in her appointment. And yet there are still some people who say no woman can keep a secret. Certainly no A1abamian should make that remark while Miss Offutt retains her present office.
 The Recording Secretary must also have a familiarity with the statutes of Alabama which relate to the office of Governor. Questions bearing upon the States laws and statutes are con- stantly coming up, for many novel re- quests are made of the Goevrnor and many novel points are raised. The de- tials of looking up these reference are within the province of the Private Sec retary, but so large have grown the Private Secretary is often engaged in other work when the Recording Secre- tary searches out the references and lays them before the Governor.
 The graciousness, the womanly qual- tiles which have so characterized Miss Offutt during her entire connection with the Governors office are no less pronounced than the knowledge of her duties or the efficiency with which those duties have been performed. The entire Capitol force have implicit con- fidence in Miss Offutt's ability to meet every responsibility which comes with her new office. and for her tact, her gentleness they have an unqualified ad- miration.
The Montgomery advertiser., 1905-03-05

[ in tho history of the State that this place fin the Governors official family was ever filled by woman. More than that the Recording Secretaries in the Executive Department have in the past invariably been men of wide acquain- tance. with Alabama men, and men who were familiar not only with politi- cal conditions of Alabama but who up- on their entry into the office had a more or less knowledge of the routine and reference work of the Executive Department
 Miss Offutt possessed this acquain- tance. the knowledge of political con ditions, and, the familiarity with the routine duties of the Governors office. in a marked degree. Her experience in the Secretary of States office, her longer experience as the confidential stenographer of the Governor fitted her in a high degree for the>Decuiiar de-
