Uncle Ted's Bedtime Stories
Andrew w. Mellon Our New Secretary of the Treasury

nections to take up a big work for
his country where his special
training can be used TO its best ad-
vantage / have talked TO Mr.. Mel
lon. ani 1 can tell you that l never
hope to talk to a more sincere and
earnest citizen. He is as easy TO ap-
proach as your father.
Mr.. Mellon was born at Pitts
burg. Pa, where he still makes his
home and where he runs bank
started by his father, not TO mention
several banks in various parts Of the
state. He was educated at the Uni
versity OF Pittsburgh, now the West
ern University Of Pennsylvania.
There are three big banks known as
the Mellon banks. the most powerful
in Western Pennsylvania and the
Central West. They were started by
Thomas Mellon in the middle sos.
Thomas Mellon made many friends
among the small struggling bankers
Of that part Of the country partic-
ularly in the steel and oil fields OF
PENNSYLVANIA and Ohio. His sons
| kept up these friendships, which was
shown. so his friends say, when An
drew Mellon was mentioned for his
cabinet post. President Harding re-
ceived many letters at that time from
! the small bankers all over Ohio and
| / don't doubt but what that had a
lot to do with helping Mr.. Harding
TO decide that Mr.. Mellon was the
man for the job.
ITO give you some idea that he is
in a position TO handle and direct
the use Of the country's money re-
member that he IS, or was, either an
officer or director in companies rep
resenting a total Of S1.6O0,OOO,O 600
He pays the largest income tax In
PENNSYLVANIA. He is not a society
man, and he very seldom goes TO th'
clubs OF which he is a member. H'
loves golf and hates public speaking
I have been told by those who ought
TO know that he never made a public
speech in his life I hope that Il
true. We don't need orators in tina
lob. We need deep thinking men OF
the job. Mr.. McAdoo was full OF
speeches and the result Yas he spent
much Of his time at IL. Mr.. Mellon
is SO years Of age and in the best OF
health.
'AIr. Mellon has always been Re
publican and has stuck by that grea
party through thick and thin
Whenever he saw what he though
was wrong in the Grand Old Party
he did all he could to correct 1t from
the inside instead Of leaving TO do +
through another party.

There's not as much there as

made on the theory that they would
