Taft as president extended even to the personnel of that secret service corps charged with pro tectlng the person of the chief magistrate of the nation. It Is not strange that each president should prefer to exercise strictly his personal preferences regarding the secret service men detailed as Ills personal escort, for very few officials of high or low degree are more cloaely or more continuously associated with the chief executive than these protectors In plain dothea. President Taft's aelection for the post of principal bodyguard waa Secret Service Operative L. C.

The qualities which Mr. Wheeler displayed during thia strenuous season made a most favorable impression upon the new president and he asked that Mr. Wheeler he made bis principal bodyguard when be waa installed in the White House. ' Now when President Taft walks, rides, drives or motors abroad In tbe streets of Washington or in ths suburbs Secret Service Agent Wheeler is his Inseparable shadow. Tba conscientious secret service man scarcely lets the distinguished object of his attention out of hla sight during hla waking hours. If the president plays golf, the faithful Wheeler la close by to ward off Inquisitive or suspicious persona. If Mr. Taft occupies a box at the theater hla involuatary escort la not fur away, perhapa sheltered by the curtains of the box. If the chief magistrate strolls to church on Sunday morning the secret service man walks a abort distance behind. President Lincoln always Insisted that hla bodyguard should walk by hla aide and chat with him aa though ha were an Intimate friend. None of our later presidents have pursued that course, although under the Taft regime there has been Introduced an Innovation In that the secret service men who accompany the president to church wear frock coats and silk hats and could not be distinguished by the unknowing ones from fashionable club men sauntering leisurely and apparently unconrerned behind the president.

NEW INDIAN COMMISSIONER Robert Gordon Valentine, the newly appointed Indian comiuibsioner. Is only 36, a fact which leads some irreverent members of the elder contingent 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 gskiAl 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 following cold facts rather thaq fancy and sentimental theory believe they know poor, weak human nature. The cigar store Indian with the red blanket and the roostetr feathers and the bear tooth necklace will not be in favor with the new Valentino regime any more than he waa with the preceding Leupp administration. Valentine admits that, next to a coroner's certificate, the best certificate of goodness Lo can have Is to chuck his feathers, put on over alls and a hickory shirt, grab a shovel and get to work with the other Americans.
