JACOB M'GAVOCh DICKINSON.
7 AcoB M'GAvocK DICKINSON.

JACOB M'GAVOCK DICKINSON,
secretary of war in the cabinet
of President Taft, is the nine
~ teenth southerner to hold that
place. The first was James McHenry
of Maryland. He was appointed by
Washington.
Mr.. Dickinson is Mississippian by
birth, Tennessean by education,
Democrat by inheritance and a Chi
cagoan by business connection. for at
the time Of his selection by President
Taft he was counsel for the Illinois
Central Railroad company. He was
hfty-efght years Of age Jan. 30, 1903.
In his speech at the banquet tender
ed him by the Iroquois club, March 9.
on the eve Of his departure for Wash
ington to take up his new duties. Mr..
Dickinson in referring to his appoint,
ment by Republican president said
that Mr.. Taft in his recent visit to the
south had told the people that he
wanted them to feel that they were In
close relations with his administration
IT, said Mr. Dickinson, che had Sc
lected for this purpose a southern Re-
publican, however we'll qualified to
discharge the duties Of the Office, 1t
would not have fulfilled the purpose
he had in mind. If he had selected a
Democrat who had voted for him,
there would have been room for carp
ing criticism to say, however unjustly,
that the appointment had been ten
dered and accepted as reward for
such support, and, besides, such an
appointment might have lacked that
ligament with the southern people
which would exist between them and
one who had not left the party. am
confident that the great purpose Of the
president was to establish the relation
ship have indicated. It would belit-
tie the broad patriotism which in
spired him to assume that his purpose
was to achieve political results. Hav-
ing known me for long time, and
intimately, and having conferred with
southern men whose opinions he val
ued, he came to the conclusion that
my qualifications and my relations to
the southern people were such as to
Justify putting me in his cabinet. Hav-
ing. accepted the position, shall bring
to the discharge of the duties Of the
Office my best efforts and shall, Of
course, carry out his policies"
Mr.. Dickinson is remarkable for his
administrative power. He thinks
Straightforward. He has the faculty
of seeing through the details of all
propositions. He is an indefatigable

DOCTORS, FEES.

'Do you mean to tell me-" asked
learned counsel when he was cross ex-
aiming Mr.. Whistler In well known
case, that for piece of work which
only takes you half an hour you can
charge so extravagant price?" And
Mr.. whistler's answer remains the
classical apology OF all learned and
technical skill Yes" he replied. "but
I am charging for the knowledge and
experience of lifetime" A Doctors
fee may seem enormous to a patient
who is aware that he has only seen
him for twenty minutes. 1t still re-
mains true that what is charged rep
resents that accumulated mass OF
hardly earned experience which dis
tinguishes the medical proficient from
the mere amateur.

state function is the dinner
TO the cabinet. given by the presi-
dent. This includes the wives Of mem
bers of the cabinet and as many diplo-
mats, army and navy officers and gov
ernmental officials as the president may
see fit to invite. Until that time Mrs.
Taft. as the lady of the White House,
will have few of the responsibilities
which will devolve upon her from the
opening Of the season to the close OF
President Taft's administration.
Nevertheless society throughout the
country Is already on tiptoe regarding
the changes that may occur In the old
mansion so far as the changes will re-
late to the government Of that part of
the administration In the White House
proper-the part which differentfates
from that in the presidents executive
Office.
Mrs. Taft is no stranger to Washing
TOMS official society. AS one of the
cabinet circle she is familiar with all
tina requirements. But this Is not
enough for society to know. It con-
cedes Mrs. Taft's good common sense
and her excellent judgment. She IL Pc
cuiiarly endowed with oil that is neces-
sary to carry out the conservative ideas
Of her husband. It may be safely as
sumed that there will be innovations.
No president ever carried out all OF the
policies Of his predecessor. Why should
+. the lady Of the White House duplicate
the management and rules OF the one
whom she succeeds?
Mrs. Roosevelt made official society

ever been before, or at least more form

THE PENNY.

The penny is first mentioned as an
English coin In the days OF Ina. the
king Of the West SaXons, who reigned
A. D. 6sS. and its name was regarded
as diminutive OF "pana." or little
pledge" or token. In Saxon times the
penny meant a silver coin Of twenty
four grains "a pennyweiEht. thirty OF

purchase an OK and twelve sheep. The

to be derived from the easterlings. or
men from the east who had the English
coinage in their charge.

prepared by the chef Of the establish

in her ideas to retain whatever Of ira

fill her position, and the same spirit
will govern her in expunging anything
that has been custom simply because
it was a custom.
The old Latin adage (reduced here to
everyday English) that men change
with the times will apply to Mrs TAT.
in her White House relations. She is
a modern woman, but remote from fads,
She is a devoted wife, a sacrificing
mother and withal a consistent Chris
tian. for her predominant characteristic
Is charity for the opinions of others.
From her girlhood to the present time
Mrs. Taft has shown that she quickly
adapts herself to circumstances. After
she had spent year at the Cincinnati
university she quit before graduating
because she wanted to teach. She had
class of boys in a private school be-
cause she wanted to see what she could
do to earn her own living. While in
Manila with her husband she took ur
Spanish in order that she might assist
her husband in his duties. She speaks

Life In the White House
Mrs. Tafts Traits Indicate That There VIII Be Innovations

cry official function at the White House
in the time of Mrs. Roosevelt was as
stately as it could be made. Her semi
private entertainments were brilliant.
Her position in New York society
caused her to have many persons OF
high social standing In New York, Chi
cago, Philadelphia. Baltimore and Bos-
ton who did not belong to the Wash
fngton set. There were dinners, teas,
musicales and entertainments which
did not come under the Washington
head. Before her marriage Miss Alice
Roosevelt was frequent figure at the
White House. She had an extensive
circle at the capital as well as away
from 1t who were her guests. All this
made for Mrs. Roosevelt responsible
ties which required a new order OF con-
ditions.
With the present administration many
Of these conditions pass out. Mrs. Taft
Is not formal woman. There Is moth
ing in her present position that re-
quires anything Of that sort. AS men,
tally equipped as was her predecessor.
Mrs. Taft by reason Of her former life
and taste Is more accessible than was
Mrs Roosevelt. To put it In another
way, she is more accessible than the
conditions which surrounded Mrs.
Roosevelt permitted the latter to be.
Mrs. Taft is an accomplished musi-
clan, and she is so welded to this ac-
complishment that she will be able to
sit at her piano and play a consider
able program Of classical selections.
There is enough democracy In her spir-
1t to carry out this whenever she feels
like 1t. In the matter Of dress she is
unpretentious. but this is not to be In
terpreted as indicating that her gowns
are not up to date. She knows her lit
erature and is well versed in politics.
