Congressman w. s. Holman Of In
diana Whsn a Judge Determined
to Assume the Task Of Guard
inQ the National Treasury.

Unquestionably the most famous Of
all the so-called watch dogs OF the
United States treasury has had In the
121 years Of its existence was the late
William Steele Holman of Indiana,
with the exception of eight years Dem
ocratic representative in congress
from 1859 till his death, in 1897. So
great were his watch dog" qualities
that for more than a generation he
was known from one end Of the coun-
try to the other not only as "the
watch dog Of the treasury" but also
as the great objector," and in these
two appellations his fame lies.
One evening. in the middle eighties,
I called upon him by invitation at his
modest Washington home. He was
seated at a somewhat dingy desk. evil

Around him was a veritable encyclo-

workshop. as from behind steel bowed
spectacles and from beneath bushy
eyebrows he keenly scrutinized an APP
preparation bill that lay before him
or the desk.

did it happen that you got into the
habit of becoming a treasury watch
dog as most people put it?"
The old gentleman-he was then
past sixty years of age-looked medi-
tatively at the open CRATE fire for a
moment.
II think" he began slowly, "this
habit of mine-it is a very fixed habit
by this time-is very likely due to my
experiences as a Judge. You know, I
was elected a judge in my younger
days in my home county and served
in that capacity for some years. I
was conscious of my DEFICIENCIES for
that exalted position, for I was quite
young, and, I will confess to you, had

Editor Earnestly Wanted to

Franklin by Serving as Post

One of the historic announcements
made during the exciting political
days a few years prior to the outbreak
of the Civil war was that by Horace
Greeley, then the powerful editor OF
the New York Tribune, to the effect
that the political firm Of Seward,
Weed & Greeley had been dissolved
by the withdrawal Of the junior part
ner.
The announcement was a sensation
in the best meaning of the term.
What" exclaimed the politicians.
Horace Greeley at odds with William
II. Seward and Thurlow Weed? Why,
that was the combination which Gre
ated the Republican party in New
York state. 1t made Seward senator,

Royal Inventors.


The inventive talents of the German
royal family have been much in
evidence of late. A few months ago the
emperor's brother, Prince Henry, OBJ
tanned legal protection for a device for
cleaning the shield-window fitted to
the front of motor cars. Then came
the announcement hat his majesty
himself had invented a brake particu.
larry applicable to automobiles.
Now, in his turn, the crown prince
has actually taken out a patent for q
new kind Of stud for shirt cuffs. Al
far as a be judged from the descr1p-
ton given in the specification, the
device Is a combination of the link
principle with that Of a two-part stud,
and unites security of the former to
ease Of adjustment of the latter.
The princely inventor is at present
busily occupied with public affairs.
Having completed his studies in tho
ministry of the interior he is now to
pass to the navy Office.
