Five Different Presidents Have
Called Him to Positions
of High Trust.
BY LOUIS E. VAN R N
ITO be called to positions of high
nublip frtIat bu five diffarnni

TITO be called to positions of high
public trust by five different
American Presidents, to be a
cabinet officer under one and repre-
sentative at a foreign court under three
others. and TO stand as a delegate of
the nation before such an august
tribunal as The Hague Court of Inter
national Arbitration, surely this Is
honor and distinction for any one man.
But with no solicitation on his part, to
be summoned, in the name of patriotic
duty and his country's need, by three
different American Presidents to stand
guard in the capital of Turkey at mo-
ments of danger over Christian lives
and interests in the ancient LAND of
Asia Minor, and to be the first of his
race to rise to the dignity of a cabinet
officer, these are indeed rare attain
ments. And yet such rare distinction
belongs to Oscar Straus, who has just
been appointed by President Taft to be
our ambassador to Turkey. President
Cleveland first appointed him Ameri-
"a minister to Constantinople; Presi-
dent Harrison requested him to remain;
President Mckinley persuaded him to
undertake the mission a second time,
besides consulting him on many other
important international matters; Presi-
dent Roosevelt appointed him secretary
of commerce and labor; and now Presi-
dent Taft has again sen him to look
after our interests in the neal East.

OFFERS BONUS FOR.
AN HONEST MAYOR
(By Associated Press.)


New York, March 16.-In order
to obtain for the Office of mayor of
New York a man of sufficient merit
and honesty to carry out the changes
proposed in the new city charter,
promoters of an Independent move
ment for the election of a purified
municipal ticket proposed to pay him
an annual salary of $125,000 year
for the term of four years and a
bonus of 100000 over and above
the regular salary of the Office. 1t
is suggested that the difference be
raised by popular subscription A
statement issued by those active in
the movement, who as yet designate
themselves as taxpayers only, says
in part:
"Such man for such a job should
be found among the younger genera
tons of the captains of industry"
In commercial life such a man could
count his income in the hundreds of
thousands. Therefore, let $4,000
public-spirited citizens pledge them
selves-anonymously, so far as the
public is concerned-to contribute
every year for the next four years
an amount sufficient to produce in the
aggregate the sum of $125,000 a.
year.
eff anyone accepts this unique Of
fer and is elected, he must agree not
to be a candidate for reelection nor
participate in any partisan politics
during his incumbency. Backers of
the plan assert that radical meas
ures are necessary because of almost
six years of the worst government |
that any city in the civilized world
has ever endured"
James Bronson Reynolds, who was
a special investigator in the Roose-
welt administration, has arrived in
New York and opened an Office in
Fifth avenue. 1t is said that he has

about fusion of all anti
Tammany forces in the mayoralty |
