Face to Face With Harlan Fiske Stone The Attorney-General of the United States (By Joe Mitchell Chapple) The new Attorney-General was greeting visitors in the reception' room of the Deparment of JusticeThis room contains the portraits of former Attorney-General Knox aud A. I Mitchell Palmer, A bronze statue in the corner of Henry VIII or some-J body, wearing a sword, breaks the monotony of the usual reception ■ room. A few minutes later Harlan Fiske! Stone was hard at work lu a conference in the corner room, pursuing the same, cool-headed, systematic methods characteristic of his work as! Dean of the Law School at Columbia University. In a farm house not far from the

village of Chesterfield, New Hamp-> shire, Harlan Fiske Stone was born in' 1872. This place is associated only, with the play days of his childhood/ for his parents moved to Amherst, when Harlan was very young. Receiving his degree at Amherst in 1894. he later became an instructor in law at Columbia University and was appointed Dean in 1910. A member of the firm of Satterlee, Canfield ft Stone, Harlan Fiske Stone has had an extensive practice in dealing with all the complexities of modern business. Following out the traditions of Amherst, he is thorough in details and sound in the principles if law Says he: “Every legal proposition, after all. is fundamentally a question of common law and common sense. The human equation must, of course, be considered, for law is only a product if the human mind.” Harlan Stone !s a tall man with a smooth full face and a sort of kindly Yankee twinkle in his eye. His Christian name, Harlan, suggests the name of Justice Harlan of the Supreme Court, a name which is associated with the highest legal tribunal of the land. One characteristic of Stone is that he is rocklike, adamant, in any decision that he has rea.cbed through the processes of thought and investigation, especially when the

Si ATTORNEY-GENERAL STONE says: “Every legal proposition is fundamentally a matter of common law and common sense.” conviction is based on a solid, firm foundation of facts and law. Practically unknown .previous to

this appointment. Attorney-General I Stone has never held a public office. ’ Many Washington politicians heard of him and saw his picture for the ; first time aftX his appointment by the President. Noting the strong determination in Stone's face, one Washington humorist observed that he "looked as though he might he able to drive a strong team of mules.” He played center on the football team at Amherst- These two points cropped up in my 'mind when he said: “ will force the laws without fear or favor.” The two Stone children are grownup men at Harvard. Marshall Stone, the elder, is doing post-graduate work in mathematics and will study at Sorbonne next. Lauson, the younger, has not decided what he will do—possibly follow his father —in law. In personality, Harlan F. Stone it a man of great vigor and industry. He is a Phi Beta Kappa man and his class at* Amherst was just one year In advance of that of Calvin Coolidge. Although an omnivorous reader of serous subjects. Joseph Lincoln’s Cape Cod tales are favorite reading with him. Muste is his chief relaxation. and he attends all concerts and is a regular subscriber to the opera Also a devotee of Isaac Walton, he finds retreat ion in fishing at his summer home at Isle au Haut, Maine.
