TO VISIT THE STATE HOUSE
TO SEE THE HESl'LTS.
Secretary Olcott Is creative, Im
aginative, vigorous, energetic and
versatile. Ho gives evidence of these
traits almost dally, and sometimes f.i
a rather startling manuor. Acting
on the principle that a man should
understand a business before unUor
takine to show soni'.- one else how to
manaee it. Is one of these traits.
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. Ilu does
not believe in having a horse doctor
to clip th mane and dock the tails
of the plantains and other greenery
on the state house lawns, or a iseau
Brummel to add polish to tlie grim
cannon tliat guaru inn i-uimui.
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

It was this same spirit that moved
him recently, lu connection with tho
Janitor work In the building. He
had Instructed tho Janitors to clean
a certain window, which they pro
ceeded to do. but the result was not
satisfactory to the secretary of

was also charged with falling to act
