confer with Mr.. Stimson in New

new secretary of war will not be
sworn in until the presidents return
to the capital on Monday. Mr.. Dick
inson will go to his Tennessee home
his successor. He expects to devote
his attention to business and the
practice Of law, in which he was
engaged when President Taft ap-
pointed him secretary Of war in
March 1909. He is the second MEM

70 private life, r. A. Ballinger, secre-
tary of the interior, having severed his
connection with the presidents off,
cial family only a few months ago.
Coincident with the announcement
of Mr.. Dickinson's retirement came
that of the appointment Of c. s.
Millington of Herkimer, n. Y, to be
assistant treasurer of the United
States at New York.
Mr.. Stimson was the Roosevelt can
didate for governor, while Mr.. Mil
lington was a former member Of
the house from Twenty-seventh New
York district, and is a close friend Of
Vice President Sherman and other
leaders Of the Old Guard in the
state having succeeded Mr. Sherman
in the house when the latter became
vice president
In the two appointments official
Washington found food for specula-
tion and many politicians thought
they saw the first step Of the admins
trauon to straighten out the tangled
skeia Of New York politics No effort
was made bY the president to conceal
the satisfaction with which ne views
the appointment Of M~ Sunsor. Not
only has he the highest personal re-
gard for the incoming member of his
| cabinet, but he is we'll aware that the
| appointment will be acceptable to a
| large faction of the Republican party
| in New York.
While the selection of Mr.. Stimson
was made after only a few days con-
sideration. Senator Root and other
leaders were consulted and gave it
! unqualified approavl. Former Presi-
dent Roosevelt was not called into
conference, but there is no question
but that he must approve the naming
to such an important post Of a man
for whom he worked tooth and nail
| in the recent governorship campaign.
The position of assistant treasurer
| at New York, which has been given
| to the Sherman Barnes Woodruff fac
| ton, is believed here to lie a move in
| the direction Of peace that will count
for much in the future. Friends Of
