THE NEW ASSISTANT SECRETARYf
OF STATE
Tho first announcement of Robert
Bacon's appointment as assistant sec
retary of state, made on the 4th, was
prudently accompanied with presiden
tial assurances that the selection had
been decided upon berore J. Plerpont
Morgan's visit to President Roosevelt,
nmrin while the Russian and Japanese
plenipotentiaries were at a deadlock;,
for Mr. Bacon, who is Mr. Morgan's
friend, Is a director in various Morgan
corporations, Including the steel trust,
and until recently was Mr. Morgan's
business partner. Even If this singu
lar appointment was decided upon
when Mr. Root was chosen secretary
of state, as some of tho apologetic
dispatches afilrm, It is somewhat sig
nificant, In tho absence of explana
tions, that plans for placing JLhe min
ister to Japan, Mr. Lloyd C. Griscom,
into the ofllce of assistant secretary
should have been upset for the pur
' pose of giving that ofllce to Mr. Mor
gan's nrotcKO and former partner.
Whon It was reported during the pres
idential campaign that Mr. Morgan
had called upon President Roosevelt,
then a candidate, the president's man
agers denied the report, and denied

Tho appointment of Mr. Morgan's pro
tego, on tho heels of the Russian-Japanese
settlement which came on tho
heels of Mr. Morgan's visit, and was
followed by great laudations of Mr.
Roosevelt for his mysterious part in
it, is therefore full or interest; and
this interest is in no degree' dimin

the appointment or Mr. Bacon had
been decided on before Mr. Morgan's
visit. -Louis F. Post in The Public.

BILL NYE'S REPLY
The late Bill Nye replied as follows
to a correspondent who inquired about
his habits of work and life:
"When the weather is such that I
cannot exercise in the open air I have
a heavy pair of dumbbells at my lodg
ings, which I use for holding the door
open. I also belong to an athletic club
and a pair of Indian clubs With red
handles. I owe much of my robust
health to this. ,
"I do most of my writing in a sit
ting posture or in an autograph album.
When I am not engaged in thought I
am employed in recovering from its
effects. I am very genial and pleasant
to bo thrown amongst. .
"I dress expensively, but not so as
to attract attention. ' In the morning I
wear morning dress, in the evening
I wear evening dress, and at night I
I wear night dress." Denver Times.
