CONGRESS’ CONSENT NEEDED Without That, Employes of Uncle Sam May Not Accept the Proffered Honors—Case Full of Deco- rations Waiting. By GEORGE CLINTON. Washington.—When a large recep- tion is given at the White House the guest sees occasionally some other guest in civil life wearing over the bosom of his dress shirt some medal- lion or cross or bauble of some kind suspended from his neck by a bright ribbon. There are a good many men In the United States who have been ‘“decorated” by foreign monarchs. If the person chosen for the honor is not working in any capacity for the Unit- ed States government he can take the decorative present if he chooses to, but if he is one of Uncle Sam’s serv- ants he must get permission of con- gress before he cai accept from the hands of any foreign king or govern- ment a present of any kind. There is in the state department a case full of presents of various kinds intended for American citizens in the government employ. They are wait- ing there until their hopeful recipients /| get permission from congress to wear them or carry them, whichever it may be, for sometimes the present is a medal which must be worn, or a pocket knife or something else which must be carried. Recently congress allowed several army and navy officers and a few civil- lan employes of the government to ac- cept gifts from foreign potentates. "It will be some time before congress will act again in this matter and meantime the presents will pile up, for some- times they are sent direct to the state department and if not, they are turned over to the department by the men Dewey Avenue.

STANTON who hope some day to get Ppermission to claim possession. Elihu Root’s Request. When Elihu Root was secretary of state he showed in one way that he was something of a diplomat. In a communication to congress asking permission to turn over to walting re- cipients some of the gifts of foreign governments intended for them he asked “that certain gentlemen be au- thorized to accept orders from for- eign governments.” Ordinarily, the officials of the state department are content to speak collectively of those of whom they are writing as “per-, sons,” but Mr. Root established a precedent by substituting the word “gentlemen” for persons. Congress made somewhat merry at the time over the distinction which Mr. Root drew without probably intending to draw any at all. The trouble was that Mr. Root did not include in his re- quest all those who had been offered presents by foreign governmenss and the entirely gratuitous assumption was that the others were not gentle- men. The fathers in their wisdom for- bade that any official of the republic should receive decorations or gew- gaws of whatever kind from the hands of alien rulers without permission of congress. Sometimes congress is easy in these matters and so it is possible that before the present session ends a good many of the government’s serv- ants, major and minor, ranking in somewhere between a major general and an humble messenger, will have in their keeping a varied assortment of things representing the largesse of royalty. Many Gifts Are Offered. Since the United States became a world power every nation on the face of the globe has sought to give its of- ficials presents of one kind or another. The emperor of Ethiopia was one of the monarchs to come bearing gifts. It was his desire once on a time to present a ribbon, a pin and a star, the symbol of an order which has existed since the day of Solomon and Sheba, to R. P. Skinner, an American citizen, one time consul at Marseilles. King Edward VIL of England tried successively to get permission from congress to give a silver ink stand to George H. Bridgeman, American con- sul at Kingston, Jamaica, and a sil- ver writing set to Arthur M. Beaupre, DENTIST Office in Winter Block DR. J. T. TUOMY DENTIST 1st National Bank Bldg. Tele. 230. DR. G. M.

Edward also at one time had in stock a good many souwe- nir coronation. medals, a sword or two and several silver watches which he wanted to hand over with an expres- || sion of his kingly regard to army and navy officers and to lighthouse keep- ers who owed allegiance to the repub- 4 Hc. Edward finally had his way. It took the shah of Persia two years to get permission to give a diamond snuff box to Richmond Pearson, who was our minister at one time to Tehe- ran. It took the khedive of Egypt two years also to secure permission to bestow on Ethelbert Watts the deco- ration of the Order of the Osmaniek. The government of France, although that country is a republic, was obliged || to get the permission of the American congress before it could give decora- tions of the Legion of Honor to Liett. Gen.
