NEW FEDERAL OFFICE
Henry Martyr Hoyt Made COun
SelOr Of the State Department

pTS HERE have been many new
federal Offices created in the
past few years, all OF them
n important, perhaps, TO the in
cumbents and few Of them im-
portant to the public. None is of more
moment than the recently announced
counselor OF the state department, the
first appointee being Henry Martyr
HOyt, former solicitor general and
prior to 1903 assistant attorney gem
cral of the United States.
The chief duties of the new official
will be the drafting Of treaties and ad-
yising the secretary of state i'm mat
tcrs Of International law. MIR Hoyt
starts with the important and delicate
task of framing n treaty with Japan
If he gets that done without having IL
ripped to pieces either by the Tokyo
foreign Office or by the United States
senate he viii prove himself a man en-
titled to all the cmolumcnts and honors
of his new job. What with Congress

three years, But perhaps he Is enough

grcssiona and journalistic wind.
international Law Unwritten.
The beauty Of international law is
that 1t Is not written. There is no in
tornational legislature to enact and no
universal sovereign to execute it. II
is thing of universal consent to
which universal consent is not always
given Any lawyer that attempts to
cNpound this nchulous proposition Ger
tainly has a mans job. OF course the
stronger nations have agreed 10 sort
OF code among themselves, and this
simplihcs matters to an extent. But
II is none too we'll defined except on
few important points, and prccedents
of decisions by arbitration tribunals
are scarce, The treaties formed be-
tween nations throughout the ages
furnish the main groundwork of the
code, so that Counselor Hoyt's COM
bined duties as international lawyer
and treaty writer fall together nat
urally. Yet treaties are made To fit
special and peculiar cases, TO meet eN-
igcncies and national ambitions Each
treaty is Il law unto itself and does
not necessarily conform TO any other;
is a law to the two nations signing it
and to none else, International law Is
something outside of these special
agreements and Is supposed to govern
all nations alike, 1t does If they have
not enough power to overstep il. The
armaments Of the world are sufficient
evidence that there Is no great faith
placed I'm It's binding force.
Tho creation of Mr. Hoyt's Office Is
logical, however, Since this is a law
yers administration, why not have an

Philadelphia, but resigned to resume
the practice Of his profession in that
city. In 1897 he was made assistant
attorney general Of the United States,
and when Philandcr Chase Knox be-
came attorney general a few years later
the two were thrown together inti-
matcly In the work OF looking after
Uncle Sans legal affairs Indeed, they
have been lifelong friends and We're
fellow practitioners at Pittsburg when
young men over a quarter of CEN
tury ago. Therefore it is but natural
that Knox should have chosen Hoyt
as the first law officer Of the state de-
partment.
In 1903 Mr.. Hoyt was promoted to
be solicitor general of the United
States which position he held up till
the middle of the present year, thus
completing over twelve years continu-
Gus service in the department of JUS
tice. He Is at present ffty-three
years OF age.

but in the settlement of disputed qucs-
tions between this and other nations,

cred he will not exceed the Roosevelt
record of 1903 1t Is understood. how
ever that the record is going to be
smashed In one way--democratic sim
plicity and economy are to be the in
flexible rule on this tour. Mr.. Taft has
caused 1t to be understood by all those
who are responsible for such matters
that he will not permit any eXtrava-
gances under any preteXt whatever.
This order, IL is stated authoritatively,
is official,
1t has been planned TO have the pres
ent trip cost no more than $4,000. The
Roosevelt coast excursion cost upward
of $4,000. The -ex~ president Travelled
on train of five thoroughly equipped
cars. Mr.. Taft is content with one and
"a half. He will also proceed by regu-
lar trains, while his predecessor ran

knew officially, he might be called up
on TO pay for every mile he Travelled
out of his own pocket. He had been
given assurances, however, that the
urgent deficiency bill would carry the
item and that it would be passed at
the earliest possible moment. So he
went ahead and made his New Eng
land trip "on tick"
As soon as he gets back from the
west Mr., TAFT is planning to visit Con-
nccticut to attend the installation OF n
college president. and after that trip
he viii take a run out 10 his old home
in Cincinnati. These little iauuts will
eat up another thousand or so of the
fast vanishing appropriation.
Not So Comfortable.

to many annoyanccs and drawbacks

Now President Taft has at his dis
posal $4,000 during the present fiscal
year which he may devote to travelling
expenses. President Roosevelt had a
similar allowance during the latter
part of his term. and when he left
Office on March he turned over about
$1,000 OF this fund Untouched The
fiscal year ended July T. and Mr. TART
had expended only about $1,000 for

Tho first idea I'm connection with the
meeting Of the two presidents at El

other at the middle Of the bridge at El

well as a desire to make the affair an
unusual demonstration of friendship,
would not accept this.
Il is now planned that President Diaz
shall first call upon President Taft In
