Flashlights of Famous People

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 and A.] Mitchell Palmer. A bronze statue in the corner of Henry VIII or some-' body, wearing a sword, breaks the' monotony of the usual reception room. A few minutes later Harlan Fiske' Stone was hard at work in 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 Hampshire. Harlan Fiske Stone was born in 1872. This place is associated only with the play days of his childhoX. for his parents moved to Amht.4t when Harlan was very young. Ke-1 ceiving 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 A Stone. Harlan Fiske Stone has had an extensile practice in dealing with all the complexities of mod i °rn business. Following out the tra-1 ditions of Amherst, he is thorough in ' details and sound in the principles i »f law Says he: "Every l-gal proposition, after al. is tundamentaily a question of common iaw and common sense. The' huuuin equation must, of course, be ■ considered, for law is only a product! *f the human mind.” Hatlan Stone <s a tall man with a -month full la<e and a sort of kindly Yankee twinkle in his eye. His Christian name. Harlan, suggests the name of Justice Harlan of the Su preme Court, a name which is asso-, elated with the highest legal tribunal ’ of the land. One characteristic of Stone is that he is rocklike adamant.' in any decision that he has reached through the processes of thought ■' and investigation. especially when the* Editor's Note: Send ten names of yoi Joe Mitchell Chapple.

I if A 1 1 "tak. B B * Ty vs AT3ORNEY-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 his appointment. Attorney-General Stone has never held a public office. 1 Many Washington politicians heard iof him and saw his picture for the first time after his appointment by I the President. • Noting the strong determination in i Stone's face, one Washington tpunoriist observed that he "looked as though Ihe might be able to drive a strong I team of mules.” He played center on -the football team at Amherst These itwo points cropped up in my mind 'when he said: " will force the laws I without fear or favor." The two Stone children are grown:up men at Harvard. Marshall Stone, the elder, is doing post-graduate work I in mathematics and will study at Sori bonne next. Lauson. the younger, has ' not decided what he will do—possibly I tollow his father —in law. In personality, Harlan F. Stone is a man of great rigor and industry. He is a Phi Beta Kapp,, men and his class at Amherst was just one year in advance of that of Calvin Coolidge. Although an omnivorous reader of ' serious subjects. Joseph Lincoln's . Cape Cod tales are favorite reading ' with him. Music is his chief relaxation. and he attends all concerts ami ‘ -s a regular subscriber to the opera , Also a devotee of jaaaq Walton, he ' finds recreation in fishing at his summer home at Isle au Haul.
