: ta<-~ : k SCAR SOLOMON STRAUS, who


 is to be secretary of commerce and labor, is the first Jew ever
 honored by president of the United States with an invitation to sit in the cabinet. Mfr. Straus, however, has been highly honored before by MT. Roosevelt and by three other presi- dents. When he was only thirty-six years of age. in 1887, President Cleve- land appointed him minister to Tur- key. Mir. Straus was an active Dem- ocrat, but nevertheless President liar rison requested him to remain at Con stantinople. Large business interests at home demanded his attention. and he retired. In 1897 President McKin- ley prevailed upon MT. Straus to go once more as minister to Turkey. In 1902 President Roosevelt appointed him to the vacancy in the permanent court of arbitration at The Hague, caused by the death of ex-President Harrison.
 Mir. Straus never ran for an office in his life. Though always taking a live ly interest in politics, he never has been politician. He is political sci enlist rather than politician. The science of politics and government has deeply interested him from his youth. He is student and much more-a scholar, a savant. Though as secre- tary of commerce and labor he will be at the foot of the cabinet list, as the portfolios are reckoned in their order of precedence, Mir. Straus probably will be the most highly. cultured and the most learned man in the presidents

cellent use of Hls Historical knowledge Probably not one American in mil lion is aware that in a certain treaty between President Washington and the bey of Tripoli there is a declaration that the United States government does not recognize any one particular form of religion above another. Minister Straus knew of this paragraph. When affairs in the Philippines became trou- blesome and 1t was very desirable to have the large Mohammedan popula- tion of the islands on our side Minis ter Straus went to the sultan of Tur- key, whom the adherents to that faith recognize as their high priest, and re quested that his imperial majesty use his influence with the Mohammedans in favor of the United States.
 But will not your country take away the religion of these people and compel them to worship according to your lawsy inquired the sultan.
 Mir. Straus at once produced the for eign treaty, proving to Abdul Hamid that religious liberty, freedom of wor- ship, is one of the cornerstones of the American republic The sultan passed word to powerful representative of Mohammed's followers in the archi. pelago and made millions of them friendly to the United States. Thus a knowledge of history down to the tap. roots, plus diplomacy, probably saved the lives of many American soldiers, many Moro fanatics and much ammu- milton.

official family. It was said of him in the London Times when he went to Constantinople for the second time, "Mr. Straus has probably the most ex- tensive knowledge of all American rep resentatives abroad"
 Seems Never to Have Played.
 From his boyhood Mir. straus seems to have been prodisiously busy man. Many Americans who rise to high place find plenty of time to loaf around and tell stories-Abraham Lincoln, for in- stance. Though by no means an aus tere ascetic, Oscar Straus seems never to have played. On the other hand. he has not had time to stand on the housetops. point to himself and tell other men how to succeed. He got right down to business very early in bis career and stuck there. That be has been called out from time to time to undertake an important service for hls country is due to the fact that the ofii- cial watchers on the towers have dis- covered hls capabilities.
 Henry Ward Beecher was one of the first prominent men to see something in straus. The great preacher wrote to President Cleveland. urging the ap- po,ntment of Mir. strsus as minister to Turkey. and In that letter he made this declaration:
 1t is because he Is c Jew that l would urge hls appointment as a it recognition of this remarkable people. who are becoming large contributors 10 American prosperity. and whose in- tellipence. morality and large liberality in all public measures for the welfare of society deserve and should receive from the hands of our government some such recognition"
 A year or two before the date of that letter a book from the pen of Mir. straus had attracted attention. It wss called The origin of the Republican Form of Government In the United States No doubt Mr. Beecher had read it. When young Straus got across the water he found It translated into French by . distinguished scholar and used as a work of reference In the va rious continental countries. That book showed the trend of the strzus mind It ves toward history. He vent after the foundatioas of things. 90 that he could understand

work at Constanfinople, but Christian preachers of various denominations

work at Constantinople, but Christian preachers of various denominations joined in the request. When President Cleveland sent MT. Straus to Turkey the minister found that more than fif- ty of the missionary schools establish ed by American Christians in the sul- tan's domains had been closed by or. der of provincial officials, and the life of all the $50 missions and schools was threatened. Mir. Straus procured from the grand vizier. who corresponds to our secretary of state. an order for the reopening of these schools and the protection of the others. Thus for the first time American missionaries In Turkey had legal status. which still obtains. Mir. Straus also obtained for the American Bible society official sanction for the distribution of Bible tracts printed in the Turkish tongue. It followed naturally that the boards of foreign missions of the Congrega- tional and Presbyterian churches and other similar bodies favored the reten- ton of the minister.
 But MT. straus felt that he was not particularly needed In Turkey after the change of administration at home. SO be returned to New York and to his library. More history issued from his pen. Roger Williams, the Pioneer of Religious Liberty" was one of his books. and another was The Develop ment of Religious Liberty In the Unit cd States" Roth of these are standard works.
 Those who know MT. strans and are aware of his large business interests wonder how be finds time to study and write history. Mir. Straus is a million aire. Some millsonsires spend their spare time in yachting. automobiIine or riding to hounds. They must have hobbies. The straus hobby is hard work. A brief account of his life may serve to prove this.
 Iazarrs straus was the father of three sons. aIl of whom have become noted.

 What shell we drink tog' he said.
 Loder nethodically mixed his own drink and lifted the glass. ''oh. to the career of John Chilcoter' he answered
 For an instant the other hessssted. There was something prophetic in the sound of the toast. But he shook the feeling eH and held up his glass.
 "To the career of John Chilcote-' he said with arother unsteady laugh.
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1906-10-27

By love" he said. with fretful mixture of disappointment and sur prise. q hadn't noticed thatw His eyes were fixed in annoyed interest on Loder's extended hand.
 Loder, following his glance, smiled. Odd that we should both have over looked it. It clean escaped my mind. It's rather an ugly scar" He lifted his hand till the light fell more fully on it. Above the second joint of the third finger ran jagged furrow, the reminder of a wound that had once laid bare the bone.
 Chilcote leaned forward. "How did you come by it:" he asked.
 The other shrugged his shoulders "oh. that's ancient history"
 "The results are present day enough. It's very awkward, very annoying"
 Loder, still looking at his hand, didn't seem to hear >"There's only one thing to be done,' he said. Each wear two rings on the third finger of the left hand. Two rings ought to cover it." He made speculative measurement with the stem of his pipe.
 Chilcote looked irritable and disturb ed. T detest rings. l never wear rings"
 Loder raised his eyes calmly. 'Nei- ther do l." he said, but there's no req son for bigotry."
 But Chilcote's irritability was start ed. He pushed back his chair. T don't like the idea." he said.
 The other eyed him amusedly. "What a queer beggar you are!' he said. You waive the danger of man signing your checks and shy at wearing piece of jewelry. I'll have fair share of in dividuality to study"
 Chilcote moved restlessly. Every body knows I detest jewelry."
 Everybody knows you are capri cious. It's got to be the rings or noth- ing, so far as make out"
 Chilcote again altered his position, avoiding the others eyes. At last, aft CT struggle with himself, he looked up.
 T suppose you're right" he said Have it your own way It was the first small, tangible concession to the stronger will.
 Loder took his victory quietly. "Goodw he said. "Then it's all straight sailing?"
 Except for the matter of the-the re- muneration." Chilcote hazarded the word uncertainty.
 There was faint pause; then Loder laughed brusquely. My pay?'
 The other was embarrassed. q didn't want to put it quite like that"
 But that was what you thought. Why are you never honest-even with yourself?'
 Chilcote drew his chair closer to the table. He did not attend to the others remark, but his fingers strayed to his waistcoat pocket and fumbled there.
 Loder saw the gesture. Look here," he said, you are overtaxing yourself. The affair of the pay isn't pressing. We'll shelve it to another night. You look tired out"
 Chilcote lifted his eyes with a re- lieved glance. Thanks. do feel a bit fagged. If I may, I'll have that whisky that I refused last night"
 "Why. certainly" Loder rose at once and crossed to cupboard in the wall. In silence he brought out whisky. glasses, and a siphon of soda water. "Say when" he said, lifting the whisky.
 "Now. And I'll have plain water in- stead of soda, if it's all the same"
 "Oh, quite" Loder recrossed the room. Instantly his back was turned,
