Notes from the Capital

Before one gets through with the various projects for raising additional revenue, now under consideration by the Administration, one shall probably hear more than heretofore of one of the few men in Washington D.C. who can accomplish a large quantity of important work with so little noise in the process that one will overlook their connection with it. Just at present he is paying close attention to another class of financial problems, for he is Governor of the Federal Reserve Board, and was chosen for that position because the system under which the Board operates is not only rather intricate, but still in its experimental stage, and a man was needed at its head who combined knowledge and experience with uncommon resourcefulness. His name is Charles Sumner Hamlin.
