THE BUSY LITTLE BEE.
Secretary Shaw is Now Quite Active
in Speechmaking

How doth the busy little bee" and he Is
certainly busy bee that hovers about the
Treasury Department And he is not much
more rushed than is the man In whose
bonnet he is buZzing. Secretary Shaw is
the most active of all the men who are
mentioned as presidential possibilities Sec
rotary Taft gets about a great deal, IT is
true, and perhaps he would be more ac-
tive If he not wanted four or five
times a week by some congressional COM
mittee But Secretary Shaw has demands
him from all parts of the country and
to the best of his ability he is filling the
long-felt want OF communities that are de-
manding cabinet oratory and cabinet ad-
vice Secretary Shaw has been able to
show himself to n great many people and
to keep up with his duties the second
man In the cabinet. There has been a great
deal OF sport made about the retirement
of Shaw from the cabinet. He would have
been out long before this If he had follow
ed his first intentions. Whether IT is more
pleasant for him TO stay than resign Is
hard to say, but the fact remains that
after a number of dates have been fixed
for his retirement-dates that have long
since passed into history-Shaw is stin
here, or still Secretary, for IL might be that
when these words are published that he
may be somewhere delivering a speech In
regard to this retirement suggestion how
ever, 1t may be said with positive author
lty that Shaw remains at the head of the
Treasury Department because the Presi-
dent is extremely anxious that he should
do so. The President does not find II so
easy to go and pick up Secretary of the
Treasury. 1t is a big place and requires a
man Of ability to fill 1t. The great financial
interests of the country and the business
world interested in the kind of a man
who is at the head OF the Treasury De-

cannot get all the possibilities IN his cabi-

the Speaker and the senior senator from
Ohio or the Junior senator from Pennsyl-
