I1KN (iOT EVF.X BY PITTING TDK KKCKETAHV TO WORK A XI) YOU WILL HAVE TO VISIT THE STATE HOUSE TO SEE THE HESl'LTS. Secretary Olcott Is creative, Im aginative, vigorous, energetic and versatile.

That's where he differs from and ex cels tho strenuous Teddy. The lat ter had a lawyer for secretary or war, a politician for secretary ot the navy, and so on down the list. The Hon. Ben Olcott has dlflercni and far more sensible ideas.

These somewhat antediluvlun Ideas are what caused him on the resigna tion of Chief Clerk Corey to time on his Prince Albert, and tackled the Job of chief clerking, so that In: would understand the business of tho st- mtnrv f mate's ottice. from cmei clerk down to the Job of bossing him. ivhen he eniduates tie thinks no wm be In position to show the next chief clerk, instead of JUHt Doing a m.o sourlan, and having to be Bhown. It was this same spirit that moved him recently, lu connection with tho Janitor work In the building.
