Washlngton.-Unc.e Sans financial
system must be sound. for the men
who hold prominent treasury positions
are most sought after material The
department Of which Mr.. cortelyou IS
nov the head. has developed into a
sort Of breeding place for chieftains
Of the great banks Of the country.
From the time a man becomes sec
retary Of the treasury or even gains
one Of the assistant places. he be-
comes marked man on 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 ex-
tend far outclass the comparatively
modest payment that T.cle Sam al
lows. II Is small wonder, therefore,
that one BY one they succumb and
quit Washington for New York, Chi
cago and other financial centers,
The recent selection OF George =.
Roberts. director OF the mint, to be
president Of the strong Commercial
bank Of Chicago, Is an instance OF this
tendency. Perhaps the directors figur-
ed that II he were skillful enough to
make money for Uncle Sam. he ought
to know how to take care Of It for
them. Hence the election.
Despite his ability. Mr. Roberts
might never have come to this prefer
ment but for the prominence that po-
litical life gave him
This Is q good practical argument

and act honestly In the public service,

lie was James III Eckles. comptroller
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 comptroller OF the treasury,
Edward 8. Lacey. looked to Chicago
Ike the kind Of stun to which finan-
ciers are made. and he was attracted
from Washington to assume control ol
the Bankers National bank This was
lb years ago, but his services have be

IN charge. but at a much increased
salary over the figure he was pait

Another contention that arose was over
the appointment Of the four heads OF de-
