A FAMOUS SENTENCE.
9teeIe's "To Love Her Was q Liberia
Education"

60uC0SloNs
The remark which Steele made in
reference. as is generally supposed, to
Lady Elizabeth Hastings has often
been quoted and almost as often quot
ed Incorrectly. Steele wrote, Though
her mien carries much more invitation
than command, to behold her Is an
immediate check to loose behavior; to
love her was liberal education"
There are two curious Interpretations
of this bright and famous sentence.
which Thackeray declared to be "the
finest compliment to a woman that
perhaps ever was offered" One is In
the essay on Pope contained in James
Russell Lowell's "My Study Win
dows." WAS it not in this age" says
Mr.. Lowell. "that loose Dick Steele
paid to his wife the finest compliment
ever paid to woman when he said
that to know her was liberal educa-
TOM" Here are two distinct errors
committed by so careful writer as
Mr.. Lowell. Yet he is not alone in this.
Arthur Helps in his romance of "Real-
nah" has this sentence: "Steele also
did not Ill describe. though briefly.
the charm of being with a woman
whom he greatly admired when he
said that to be much with her was in
itself liberal education" We are
also told that Leigh Hunt once in quot.
ing the remark incorrectly ascribed II
to Congreve. Here. then. are three dis
tinct writers Of high rank who have
shown how. In a moment Of careless
composition they were led astray by
an inaccurate remembrance. They had
no desire to misquote their author.
and they gave the substance. But
they grievously failed in the words
themselves and one Of them at least In
their acknowledgements.

Federal Sleuths Kept on the Jump

Originally the secret service OF the
United States had two functions and.
two only. Those were the detection
of counterfeiters and the hunting
down of Illicit distillers. A good many
years ago. however, long before Mr..
Roosevelt entered public life. one OF
the presidents detailed secret serv-
ice men to serve at the White House.
There was not the slightest authority
In law for such a procedure. but con-
gress had good deal OF considera-
ton for the executive and this vio-
lation of law went on year after year.
Finally congress. seeing that the prac-
tice had become permanent and not
wishing to engage in dispute with
the executive branch. conferred the le-
gal authority necessary to enable
presidents to make such detail.
Gradually the presidents enlarged
the practice of detailing secret serv-
ice men and sent them hither and
yonder on all sorts of errands. Then
other administration otilcers-cabinet
chiefs and even bureau heads-with-
out the remotest authority In law.
called upon the secret service branch
for agents to send out on conflden-
tial missions. Chief Wilkie of the
secret service was up tree. figura-
lively speaking He did not have
men enough to go around. Congress
allowed him blanket appropriation.
but II was not large enough to hire all
OF the detectives demanded.

vision limiting the functions of the
secret service, 1t was not striking at
the president. but at a custom. At
least that is the solemn assertion of
all the members who had anything to
do with 1t. Representative Walter l..
Smith of Iowa, drafted the provision
and II was put In with the approval OF
Chairman Tawney and all the mem
bers OF the appropriations committee.
Gradually congress itself has en-
larged the inspection, or espionage.
system of the government. but for the
most part, II has done so under ex-
ecutive pressure. Naturally. the fact
that the congressman helped to Gre
ate so many spies" would be expect
ed to stop their criticism, but II is
fashionable now TO blame a good many
things on the president The army of
government detectives numbers all
told about 5000 Nearly all OF these
men are engaged in travelling about
the country and mingling with the
SO.O00.0O0 people outside OF Washing
ton. The list includes secret service
men, postofiice inspectors. special
agents OF the land service. pure food
inspectors. meat inspectors and 9TH
ers. The talk that In some instances
secret service agents have been used
TO work up damaging Information
about congressman who are objection
able TO the administration seems to
be without the slightest foundation.
