No act of the Legislature will be
received with more acclaim, If the
bill becomes a law, than the act to di-
vide the Seventh judicial district. The
district has been acknowledged to be
too large for years and it has ham

to ouray when a matter was desired
to be presented in chambers. The at

UNITED STATES TREASURY
GREAT TRAINING SCHOOL
Heads of Nations Great Financial Institutions Taken
From Treasury Department.

Uncle Sans financial system must
be sound, for the men who hold prom
inent treasury positions are most
'sought-after material.
The department of which Mr.. Cortel-
you is now the head has developed
into sort of breeding place for
,chieftains of the great banks of the
country.
From the time a man becomes Sec
rotary of the treasury or even gains
one Of the assistant places, he be-
comes marked man on the part of
the big financial institutions.
Immediately they all want him,
and he must be literally supplied
with cash and patriotism to refuse the
kind of offers they make. Salaries
they extend far outclass the compare
lively modest payment that Uncle
Sam allows. 1t is small wonder,
therefore, that one by one they sue
cumb, and quit Washington for New
York, Chicago and other financial CEN
ters.
The recent selection of George E..
Roberts, director of the mint, to be
president of the strong Commercial
Bank of Chicago, is an instance of
this tendency
Despite his ability, Mr.. Roberts
might never have come to this prefer
ment but for the prominence that po-
1itical life gave him.
This is a good practical argument
Tor a young man to get into politics,
and act honestly in the public service,
not for the immediate return, but for
the chances it will make for him with
big financial interests where a salary
of $4,000 is considered very modest.
The man whom Mr.. Roberts sue
ceeds made his fame in Washington.
He was James H. Eckles, controller Of
the treasury under President Cleve-
land. He resigned in 1898 to accept
the presidency of the Commercial
bank, and he held the post to the time
of his death recently.
Another controller of the treasury,
Edward S. Lacey, looked to Chicago
like the kind of stuff of which flnan.
ciers are made, and he was attracted
from Washington to assume control
of the Bankers National bank. This
was fifteen years ago, but his services
have become so valuable that to-day
he is still in charge, but much in
creased salary over the figure he was
paid when he first came from Wash
ington.

example of United States treasury
official taken from the public service
because private corporation needed
his work.
A place had to be specially created
for him in the National City Bank of
New York, famous as the institution
from which the Standard Oil company
handles it's banking business. This
bank has capital of S25,OOO,O00, and
its deposits are eight times as great,
which makes it the leading financial
institution of the United States.
In his change from Uncle Sam tc a
private corporation as an employer,
Mr.. Vanderlip followed the lead of his
old chieftain, Lyman H. Gage, former
secretary of the treasury
Gage was appointed to the place by
President Mckinley, was highly rated
In Illinois as a financier of first rank,
but the remainder of the country,
while it knew his name, had never
ranked him among the giants.
But from the time he took hold of
the nations finances he found himself
much-sought-for man, and eventually
he capitulated and took the presi-
dency of the United States Trust COM
pany.
The man who came after Mr.. Gage
in the high office of guardian of the
country's cash, Leslie M Shaw of To-

ject. He was by far the most pictur.
esque member of the cabinet, and his
homely but apt illustrations made him
great favorite as political speaker.
When the offer came from the new
ly organized Carnegie Trust company,
that he accept the place Of president,
Mr.. Roosevelt urged him to stick to
the cabinet. He did defer his with
drawal from public life until congress
adjourned, so that pending matters
could be cleared up before the bureau
was committed to Cortelyou.
Mr. Shaw made his first, notable sue

was still rife in the Middle West. He

wa, had an experience much similar
to that of Mr.. Gage.
He had made money in Iowa and
had been elected governor of the state.
But his fame as a handler of millions
had by no means gone to the utter
most ends of the earth, when in 1902,
President Roosevelt decided that he
was the man to put in charge of the
treasury building.
At that time the appointment was
even somewhat criticised, for some of
the presidents enemies accused him
Of desiring to remove a formidable
presidential aspirant by making Mr..
Shaw a member of his official family
But the new secretary proved he
had an admirable equipment for the
place, and in all the problems he
faced, acquitted himself with credit
Those who said that Mr. Shaw was
only a country banker had to revise
their ideas. There was no lack of
force or originality in his administra-
ton. During the time the RESPONSE
bility of handling the country's
finance was in his hands, there came
serious disturbances. Every one of
these emergencies saw him emerging

DDS he employed were novel, but in
every case they availed in their OBJ

Each large cafe in Vienna will con-

about two. million packs, all of home
manufacture. The export trade is
still larger, especially to Asia and
North Africa, in which Austrian cards
appear to enjoy virtual monopoly.
They range from Turkey to India.
Last year 100000 packs were sent
