THE SUFFOLK PUNCH.

The Suffolk horse. Or SuffG'H
Punch is of English origin and seems
to have been known as a pure breed
for several centuries. They have
been exported to South America, Aus
tralia, and Africa. besides the vari
Gus countries of Europe: but in Cana
da and the United States they have
never been especially popular, al
though there are scattered herds
throughout the West and one or two
in New England to make them bet
ter known. but the first stud was I'M
ported only thirty years ago, at a
time when other breeds had already
obtained a strong foOthold.
The Suffolk is a compact, general
purpose horse of good quality and ac-
ton. medium size. short Of leg and
weighing from 1900 to 1900 pounds.
1t is not 50 large as the Clyesdale,
Shire or heavy stains of Percheron
but is about the weight and cOnfOr-
nation favored for farm horses. The
color is always chestnut brown. The
body is very deep and full with I'M
usual spring and depth of ribs, thus
giving the body a full, round form A
horse of this style is, as might be ex-
pected, an easy keeper and very hardy
and vigorous.
The Suff0lks are known as a pro-
life and long-lived race. A mare and
foal were shown at one of the Eng
lish agricultural shows. the mare BE-
ing thrty-seven years old at the time
the fOal was born. Many instances
are stated of Suffolk horses in full
vigor and usefulness at advanced
ages. In its native home the Suffolk
is believed to be able to do more
work on less feed than other heavy
horses. II is a steady persistent pull

sition. The weak point which has
injured the progress Of the breed is
its reputation for small brittle feet,
liable to sustain injury when used
on macadamized roads or pavements.
This weakness has received attention
of late years from breeders, and is
being rapidly done away with. The

< 4 Secret Service
Work of Government Detective Bureau Which Is Bone oil
Contention Between Congress and the President.
Sketch Of John E. Wike, Chief Of SIeuths.
BY JAMES A. EDCERTON.

BY JAMES a. EDCERTON.
THERE is no government depart
ment concerning which less is
known than the secret service.
At the same time there is none
about which there is greater public
curiosity, which is just now heighten-
ed by the row between the president
and the congress.
The secret service is Uncle Sans
Sherlock Holmes. It catches counter
letters and now and then bags a con-
gresham or senator who has not been
content with making laws, but has
started to breaking them also, thus
working both ends Of the line. 1t was
this feat of getting a few legislators
into jail that caused all the trouble
between Mr.. Roosevelt and the present
session. Congressman do not like to
be imprisoned, for which we can
scarcely blame them, considering the
other infections they have to bear,
such as associating with each other
and listening to each others oratory.
President Roosevelt charges in ef-
feet that it was because the secret
service had exposed Senator Mitchell
and an Oregon representative in the
land fraud cases that congress cut
down the appropriation for the secret
service and prohibited it's use outside
of the treasury department, whereat
certain members of the house, dignifed
senators and others not so dignif1ed
regard themselves as grossly insulted
Come to think of it, there is something
In the nature Of a personal insult in
sending man to jail or even in init
mating that he ought to be there,
though most men do not base their
objection to Imprisonment on this
ground. Now, the president did not
say that all members of congress
should go to jail, but only that the law
they had passed helped nobody but
criminals, and the chief argument in
its favor was that it keeps members of
the two houses from being Investigated
and prosecuted.
He went further and intimated that

made congress forbid the further lend

stories and cartoons to the effect that

up In Washington. This the admins
tration denies, but at any rate there
will be an Investigation.
Wilkie Started as Reporter.
The head Of the secret service start
ed life as a reporter. He is John F..
Wflkie of Chicago, son of famous
newspaper man in his day who was
Wilbur F. Storey's chief editorial writ
er on the Chicago Times. Young VIII
k1e started as fire and police report
er and was so intensely in earnest in
the role that he bought fireman's
helmet and outfit and went to all the
fires to help out, receiving much chaff-
Ing therefor both from the real fire.
men and the other reporters. He show
ed the same spirit in his police report
ing and in at least one instance sue
ceeded in unearthing a sensational
crime. A store burned in a manner to
show that it was fired by incendiaries.
The proprietor was out Of town at the
time, but came in on train soon aft
er. In rumnaging about through the
ashes Wilkie came upon a charred
photograph, evidently taken Of the
owner Of the store when a much
younger man, but on the back of
which was Philadelphia address and
name different from that by which
the merchant was then known. On
being confronted with this witness
from the past the man supposed the
Jig was up, broke down and confessed
that he had set fire to his own store,
using a time fuse that would allow
him to get out Of town. This was not
the only piece of sherlockholmesing
done by the young police reporter.
Every available moment he was loung-
ing around detective headquarters
picking up IDEAS
Some time later the elder Wilkie was
placed in charge Of the London bu.
The Princeton union. [volume] (Princeton, Minn.) 1876-1976, 1909-01-07

reau Of the Chicago Times, and the
son accompanied him, each of them
sending several columns of cables and
letters every week. One day Storey
fired the elder Wilkie by cable, and
the son went to the head of an Ameri-
can commercial agency in London,
where he remained almost two years.
Returning to Chicago, he re-entered
the newspaper field and soon became
city editor of the Tribune. Frank e.
Vanderlip was financial editor Of the
paper at the same time, and the two
became chums. When Lyman J. Gage
was made secretary of the treasury
he took Vanderlip along as private Sec
rotary and in short time made him
assistant secretary Of the treasury.
Vanderlip remembered his friend Will
kie, tried him out on some work for
the government and succeeded in get
ting him appointed chief Of the secret
service This is the story Of John p.
Wilkes rise as have it from the lips
of a newspaper man who used to work
with him as police reporter. While
much of it has seen the light, I think
it has never been printed before In all
its details.

In Office Mr.. Wilkie is one of the
most democratic and easily accessible
Of all government employees. There
are two rooms in the treasury building

the door. Anybody can walk right In
and will usually find Chief Wilkie in
his shirt sleeves going over reports or

Mfr. Wilkie assigns these men much

In this way the head Of the system has
a more thorough inside view Of the
workings of the entire nation than
any other one man outside Of the pres
ident and his cabinet advisers.
What will be the upshot Of the pres
ent Investigation no man can tell. The
most probable outcome, certainly the
most sensible one, would involve a
consolidation Of all the detective agen-
cies Of the government under the de-
partment of justice. It would do away
with the fiction Of shifting men from
department to department, would save
time and avoid confusion and would
make it impossible in future to Grip
pie this most important governmental
agency through congressional interior

ROBERTSON
IS SATISFIED
Says Legislative Committee to
Adjust Tax Inequalities
is All Right

Hon. Stokes v. Robertson, a mem
Der of the committee recently ap-
pointed by Speaker Street to recon-
mend a revision of the Mississippi
assessment laws, to provide for a
more equitable apportionment of the
representation in the legislature, and
an equal division of the school fund,
takes no stock in the talk that South
Mississippi has been treated unfairly
in the selection of the committee. On
the contrary, Representative Robert
son says that the committee Is
good one and that this section will
yet be accorded its rights. "All Of
the members of the committee" he
says, understand that many of the
South Mississippi counties pay into
the state school fund much more than
they get out Of 1t. They understand
that the county Of Forrest, now one
of the richest and most populous in
the state, Is entitled to more than
one member in the lower house and
one-fifth Of senator, when some of
the smaller counties have three rep
resentatives and whole senator But
we must be patient We certainly
cannot afford to criticise this COM
mittee before it even meets to make
its recommendations to the Iegisla-
ture." While Mr.. Robertson is one of
the youngest legislators in the state,
he is one of the best informed, having
taken a conspicuous part in the con-
stitutional convention held by the
South Mississippi members of the leg
islature in Hattiesburg early last year.
