ultimately securing substantial
recognition of abilities that in an
other setting might never be recog-
nized.
The Government service, in recent
years has, indeed, been notoriously
a training school for executives in
great business enterprises. The
presidency of financial establish
ment has come to be hereditament
of the Secretaryship of the Treas
ury. The assistant secretaries go
forth to positions of such rank and
power as in most cases they could
never hope to reach by another
route And in other departments of
Government service the same rule
is only less notably applicable.

Another Side OF Ii.

The call to George E. Roberts, for
many years director of the mint, to
be president of one of the greatest
banks in the country, suggests an
other aspect of this mooted problem
of the desirability of the Govern
ment service as a career.
Mr.. Roberts was a country news
paper man, with a studious mind
and a taste for problems of finance.
He was a good business man, and a
successful politician as well. While
still a young man his native bust
ness capacity had enabled him to
accumulate a comfortable fortune,
and it was quite by accident that a
public speech which he made before
a political club attracted the atten-
ton of William Mckinley, and re-
suited in a summons to Mr.. Roberts
to be director of the mint.
In that position Mr.. Roberts soon
won notice as one of the country's
authorities on financial matters. He
has had the courage of his convic-
tons, recently advocating a central
bank of issue in a vigorous article in
q leading review, despite that such a
proposal is nnquestionably bad poll
tics at this time. Now Mr.. Roberts
is summoned to be the head of an
institution of international note and
power.
This is the other side Of the ques-
ton of Government service Sala-
ries paid by Uncle Sam are pain
fully small, both in the rank and file
and among the higher executives.
especially among the latter. But
men who serve the Government we'll
in executive positions enjoy pecu-
liar opportunity for extending their
acquaintance and reputation. and

HAVE THE TINES MAILED TO YOU
THURSDAY, JULY 4. 1907.
Our independence Day.

On this day, 131 years ago, the
Continental Congress declared a
group of separate States indepen-
dent of their mother country.
The delegates to that Congress
did not themselves appreciate the
potential fruits of their courage.
Many, if not most, of them conf
IDENTIFY expected ultimate reunion
with the greater nation across the
water But out of their declaration
has come the greatest power for
general education, individual self-re-
lance, God-fearing personal char
acter, healthful cooperation for the
benefit of good government, and in
huence for the peace and prosperity
of the world which is known to
history.
That power is directed here-here
in Washington where we live. Yet
the anniversary of its beginning
passes today without the firing of a
single gun, the expression of a sin
gle thought, the attempt in what
ever formal way to note the day
with proper ceremony.
