MORTON, Paul:
Secretary of the Navy, the second of his family in direct line to occupy a Cabinet position; is son of J. Sterling Morton, Secretary of Agriculture under Cleveland. Although the father's affilia- tions were with the Democratic party, Secretary Morton parted from the bulk of the party on the currency issue and Paul Morton found himself both in 1896 and more strongly in 1900 entirely out of sympathy with the ruling opinion in Democratic circles. Although only com- paratively recently an avowed Republi- can, he has been an adherent to the card- inal principles of Republicanism for sev- eral years, and his appointment was a recognition, in so far as it had any po- litical meaning, of the large number of voters who had been added to Republi- can strength in the past eight years. The reason of the appointment of Paul Morton as Secretary of the Navy was, however, his ability as an executive and an organizer. He was born in Detroit,
of age he was taken to Nebraska by his parents, the movement being into a new country and as pioneers. He had a com- mon school education and at the age of sixteen years went to work for the Bur- lington and Missouri Railroad at Platts- mouth, Neb. His rise was rapid, and at the age of twenty-one he was the gen- eral freight agent of the C., B. & Q. From 1890 to 1896 he was vice-president of the Colorado Fuel & Iron Company and president of the Whitebreast Fuel Co. . In 1896 he went to the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe Railroad as their vice- president, and was second vice-presi- dent at the time the Secretaryship of the Navy was offered to him, being the traffic manager of the road and handling the great affairs relating to the passen- ger and freight traffic of the great sys- tem. The persuasion and influence of President Roosevelt, for whom he has a great admiration, induced him to give up this position with a salary of $35,000 a year for the Secretaryship and its $8,000, with expenses much greater than the salary. Secretary Morton is tall and fine looking. While he came to the de- partment without knowledge of naval affairs, he has the capacity for quick learning, which is inseparable from a man who is able to handle large pro- jects and is a broad gauge man in every way. He has taken a deep interest in naval matters, and already finds an in- terest and fascination in the work that will keep him in office for a considerable time. He is just and fair-minded, and there is every reason to believe that the admirable administration of Secretary Moody, with its valuable results for the welfare of the Navy, will be followed by an equally valuable administration by a trained business man, accustomed to large affairs. Secretary Morton is married and has two daughters, one of whom is about to enter society. Ad- dress, Washington, D. C.
