8 THE ILLUSTRATED BEE. February 22, 1903. THE NEW CABINET OFFICER Who Takes Charge of the Department of Commerce Mas Long Been in Public Life and BRINGS EXPERIENCE TO HIS POST Geo. n. C'ortrlfoo limn Hern Prlvnlp Secretary to Two l'realdent of the Inllrd State Itnrlnir a Period of Commercial Activity. George H. Cortclyou an Secretary of the department of Commerce rarrien to the New Cabinet peBllion a ripe exprrlence, th? fruitage of many yearn of public, life. Tho private decretory of tho president la a man of ability, has opportunities for knowledge of public affairs afforded In no other position. Secretary Cort.dyou occupied this responsible confidential pest during tho administration of Iresldent McKinley. When Tresldont Roosevelt came to the White House he retained him and promotes him to a cabinet position as an evidence of his worth and abilliy. TIIK DKl'AK TMKXT OF COM ! KR( H has been talked about for many years. It will now be organ1rd Into a branch of the government. Like the Interior De partment, It will grow rapidly. New bureaus will be added from time to time. Having direct relations with the business affairs of a progressive country it must alternately be one of tho great depart ments. The new cabinet officer will have no sinecure. The organization of his office long the bread lines contemplated by law will tax the energy and ability of even so rigorous, experienced and able a man a George B. Cortelyou. AH INSIHAMCI? BIRCAl' should be one of the subordinate branches of the new department. Here should be gathered Information of value to Insured and Insurer alike. Ultimately no company should be permitted to do business In our land excepting under the supervision of the Department of Commerce. The gov ernment should exercise powers similar to .those governing national banks and state supervision should be auxiliary only and not supreme.. Lite and fire Insurance companies are engaged In Interstate busi ness and for the protection of all should be under national control. THK DANKKIIS HKSKKVE LIFE hopes to see the day when the life Insur ance business of our country shall be conducted under national laws; when the Department of Commerce will Issue the charter under which life companies shall do business; when some power of guaranty shall be deposited with the national gov ernment for the protection of the Insurer. n. if. Ronisox, prksidext of the Bankers Reserve Life Association, Is very much Interested In the new cabinet position. He believes In the new secretary and suggests to Insurance men that a com mon effort be trade to provide for a na tional bureau of Insurance, No other com mercial Institution in this country, -barrins none, is closer to the people or of greater economic Importance. w Think About This There are engravings and en. gravlnga, but the kind that are really good are the ones we make J.

OMAHA No Case "What Is your business?" asked the at torney for the defendant, turning suddenly upon the star witness for the plaintiff. "I read meters for a gas company," re plied the witness lamely, "Your honor, tho defense rests," said the attorney for the defendant, gathering up his papers. "Case dismissed, of course," said the judge. Impatiently. And thus it happened that another de fendant walked proudly out of court without a stain upon his character. New York Sun. Corn Husking Story The Llndsborg Record adds another to the corn husking stories floating over Kansas. Lew Rassmusson shucked 4,500 bushels for one man. His average was 115 bushels a day. He took care of his own team, did his own hauling and shoveled all the corn Into cribs without assistance. "RassmuHBon is undoubtedly the fastest husker we have any straight report on," suys the Record. "A good many men can busk over 100 busheU a day, but they have to lay off for three days afterward to get over It. This man goes right on day after day and does It easy." All Marked Down "Oh, yes, he's saved a good many lives." "Then I suppose he has saved a good deal of money, too?" "No. He's poor." "That's strange. How about the rewards from the grateful people he has pulled out of the water?" "Oh, tho trouble with them Is that they put their own valuation on the goods Eaved." Cleveland Plain Dealer. Looking Ahead "Yes," said the suburban dweller as he escorted his city friend to the depot, "our little community Is deeply religious." "I'm glad to hear It," rejoined the city chap as he slowly extricated one foot from the mud. "It must be a great consolation to feel that there Is a better world than this."
