Chi cago Post Keenest N GUARDS PRESIDENT’S LIFE The changes in officialdom at the national capital that followed the inauguration of William H Taft as president extended even to the personnel of that secret service corps charged with protecting the person of the chief magistrate of the nation It is not strange that each president Bhould prefer to exercise strictly his personal preferences regarding the secret service men detailed as his personal escort for very few officials of high or low degree are more closely or more conexecutive tinuously associated with the chief than these protectors In plain clothes President Taft’s selection for the post- of principal bodyguard was Secret Service Operative L C Wheeler and It all came about In this wise ' From the very day that Taft was elected pres ident four months In advance of- the date on which he was inaugurated the chief of the secret service considering that Judge Taft was a personage whose well being was of vast import to the nation— detailed two of his best Mr Wheeler was one of these men operatives to guard the president-elec- t and he accompanied the Tafts everywhere they went —to Cincinnati to Hot Springs Va to Augusta Ga and to the Panama canal with “side trips” to The Washington Philadelphia New Haven-NeYork and other points qualities which Mr Wheeler displayed during this strenuous season made a most favorable impression upon the new president and he asked that Mr Wheeler be made his principal bodyguard when he was Installed In the White House Now when President Taft walks rides drives or motors abroad In the streets of Washington or m the suburbs Secret Service Agent Wheeler Is his Inseparable shadow The conscientious secret service man scarcely lets the distinguished object of his attention out of his sight during his waking hours Wheeler like to the other secret service men on duty at the White House Is about 30 years of age He is of athletic build and keeps himself in the best of condition by daily exercise All these secret service guards go well armed but the weapons are carefully stowed away out of sight and there is nothing In either the dress or manner of these men to indicate their office NEW INDIAN COMMISSIONER Robert Gordon Valentine the newly appointed Indian commissioner is only 36 a fact which leads some irreverent members of the elder con tlngent to remark that the chorus at Washington Is full of squabs and all the leading men are Juveniles Nevertheless Mr Valentine Is so well In touch with the affairs of the Indian bureau that he was the personal choice of retiring Commissioner Leupp for the succession Valentine’s knowledge of the Indian was mostly gained back in Massachusetts where the only Indians are those who come along with the medicine shows But he knows Lo because he knows the poor white men pretty well At least those New England persons who pride themselves on facts rather than following cold— fancy and sentimental theory believe they know The cigar store Indian with the red blanket and poor weak human nature the roostetr feathers and the bear tooth necklace will not be in favor with the new Valentine regime any more than he was with the preceding Leupp administration Valentine admits that next to a coroner’s certificate the best certificate of goodness Lo can have i3 to chuck his feathers put on overalls and a hickory shirt grab a shovel and get to work with the other AmerThe Indian of romance and Leatherstocking doesn’t look as good to icans Valentine as the Indian with his crops all cultivated and his farm work up to date After graduating from Harvard Valentine was a teacher a bank clerk and then a newspaper writer The latter Job led to his political preferment GERMAN RAILWAY MINISTER Herr Von Breitenbach as minister of public works and railways in the Prussian government is at the head of the railroad system Germany has owned her railroads for a number of years and they are managed by an especially capable and conservative body of officials Delights of Appetite 'and Anticipation are realized in the first taste of licious de- Reports just received from the experts who have been studying the situation there declare however that the plan is not a success In respect both to the service received and the financial results public ownership in Germany is declared to be a long way from satisfactory At the present moment Herr Von Breitenbach has In contemplation several changes of importance in the methods of his departments which look toward finally making the Prussian railroad
