 Secretary Shaw was born in Norris town Vt. November 2, 1S4S. He re- ceived 8 common school education and spent a few terms in the village high school and in the Peoples academy, at Morrisville, Vt. At twenty-one years of age he went to Iowa. In 1874 he grad uated from Cornell college, and from Iowa college of law in 1876, having earned the means with which to edu- cate himself. After graduator he To- eated in Denison, la, and engaged in the practice of law. While keeping the practice of law in the foreground he was thus kept in touch with financial ma2sers, both east and west.
 He first gained national prominence in 1896 as a Mckinley advocate, when at the request of the Iowa state cen tral committee, he placed his entire time at it's disposal. This led to his nomination for governor and election in 1S97 and his reelection in 1899. in which he doubled his previous plurality and quadrupled his previous majority He peremptorily declined third term and planned to return to his law prac- tice and business interests. A few days before the close of his term, however i without solicitation or suggestion from himself or friends, he was rendered the position of secretary of the treasury and assumed the duties of the office on February 1. 1902.
 Secretary Shaw's varied and active career as a lawyer, banker, governor and as the secretary of the treasury fits him peculiarly well to discuss the vari- ous phases of the subject of Evolution in Self-Government.' which is at the present. time occupying so much of the thought and attention of the American public and of the world.
