The Call to Service.

few DAYS ago Frank A. Vanderlp made in public
complimentary reference to the work which the Sec
retary of the Treasury, Mr.. VIM G. McAdoo has done
and is now doing. Mr.. Vanderlips praise was un-
stnted, and coming from so high authority he,
it attracted much attention
Nevertheless occasionally by the printed word or
by conversation, the intimation is made that Mr..
McAdoo had no special training as fnancier and
therefore it is be expected that he succeed
greatly in the administration of the Treasury Depart
ment, especially in a time OF great emergency.
Yet some of Mr.. McAdoo's predecessors in the
office of Secretary of the Treasury, who achieved
greatly without any financial training, banking
experience or other qualifications for their work except
that which they obtained lawyers or members of
Congress To cite a few examples it is proper to
refer to Robert J. Walker He was in public life, for
years representing the State of Mississippi in the
Senate not having had any special financial training
Yet his service Secretary of the Treasury in the
administration of James K Polk has become trad-
tional.
President Lincoln called Salmon P Chase to his
Cabinet as Secretary of the Treasury. Chase had
been in public life many years, governor of Ohio, and
Senator from that State having been identified
with financial activities excepting for time di
rector in a perfunctory way of Cincinnati bank
Yet he grasped the very difficult problem which the
exegencies of the civil created perfected the
tonal banking system and his administration of the
Treasury Department has always occasioned favorable
comment.
President Garfield called Senator VIM. Windcm to
his Cabinet Secretary of the Treasury at the last
of that Cabinet construction Senator Allison
Garfelds first choice, but he refused to quit the
Senate. Window had especial financial training
yet brilliant achievement of his whereby refund
ing operation of national bonds accomplished in
such that the bonds called WINDOWS
has passed into tradition worthy of comparison with
of the great achievements of his predecessors
Charles F. Farchild, who succeeded Daniel s.
Manning Secretary of the Treasury in Cleveand's
first Cabinet was lawyer by profession and had
served Attorney General in New York. His ad-
ministration in the Treasury Department was highly
successful.
In emergency President Roosevelt called George
b. Cortelyou to the Treasury Department Only
few years earlier Mr. Cortelyou had been private
secretary the White House But his administration
of the Treasury Department at the time OF very
great crisis in the year 1907 brilliantly success
full to call for commendatIon from some of the
abest fnanciers of the United States and led to the
selection OF him, president of one of the great
public utilities of New York City
