the big spending department, is still

SHOUSE IN WASHINGTON
Former Kansas Congressman Written
Up in N. Y. Telegraph.

Jouett Shouse, former congressman
from the Seventh district and now as
sistant secretary of the treasury, Is
continuing to keep Kansas on the map
in the east and to show Washington
and New York the efficient high type
of public servant the Sunflower state
pushes to the front. The following
article about Shouse and his family
and his political career appeared in
recent issue of the New York Tele-
graph
Jouett Shouse, the new assistant secre-
tary of the treasury. like his chief. Carter
Glass, was taken from the house of repre-

Glass, the new secretary of the treasury,
was chairman, and now he has been made
assistant secretary of the treasury. Both
Mr.. and Mrs. ShQuse are among the most
popular OF the younger official set Mr..
Shouse will not be 40 years old until next
December and is distinctly handsome, with
a poise and charm of manner and quick
wit qualities that make many friends.
Mrs. Shouse is college bred and was Marion
Edwards, of Kansas. who happened to visit
a classmate in Lexington. KY, where
Jouett Shouse was living. Mrs. Shouse is
distinct acquisition to the official circle
and she has stepped with ease into her new
place, gracious and accomplished young
woman that she is. There are two lovely
daughters in the Shouse family, one of s
and the other a couple of years younger
Just now the home of the new assistant
secretary of the treasury is in Stoneleigh
court, an apartment building on Connecfi-
cut avenue. But. like hundreds of others
who want to establish real homes once
more and do away with makeshifts, Mr.
and Mrs. Shouse hope to find house before

The story of he first welcome to
overseas heroes at New York partici-
pated in by Kansas. is told in letter
received from Herbert s. Houston,
chairman of the welcoming. committee
appointed by Arthur Capper, while the
latter was governor. The welcome in
cluded a giant wreath of Sunflowers
and Victory Palms in the Court of
Honor before the New York public
library. as a memorial to the men of
the Twenty-seventh division who were
killed. The Twenty-seventh included
Kansas men. Houston's letter follows:
There seemed to be little that we
could do until plans were being for
INFLATED for the welcoming of the
9th Division. Then the chairmen of
the various state committees were
brought together, some 81 or % of
them, and we were asked to authorize
state memorial wreaths that should be
placed in the Court of Honor, before
the Public Library. in memory of those
who lost their lives in the war, as it
was explained to us that 5000 of the
9th Division were men from the va
r'ious states of the union, and that this
first welcome for the returning SOL
diers was really national welcome.
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1919-04-19

ST was glad indeed to authorize the
preparation of the wreath, as all the
other state chairmen did, the cost Of
which was to be 500.
Thru General Martin, who has
been in New York for several days,
they have arranged for a Kansas
headquarters, and a committee has
been formed, with Mr.. Wood, presi-
dent of the Kansas society. as the
head of it. This naturally and prop
erly supersedes the welcoming COM
mittee of which I was chairman. OF
course it is my pleasure to cooperate
in every possible way. Yesterday,
sent some 40 or so books in from Gar
den City. to start a library for the
boys.
1.-The new committee is truly repre-
sentative of all the Kansas people in
New York and it will be able to take
care of all the work of welcoming the
soldiers. You will see from the photo
graph, some small sunflowers together
with the palms of victory are the char
acteristic features of the Kansas
wreath. 1t was really dignified and
beautiful wreath and it occupied a
conspicuous position in the Court of
Honor, on a large easel"
