EMINENT MEN'S SONS
WHO HAVE MADE GOOD
Sons of Presidents Lead the Sons of Any
Other Class in the Land.
Of 21 Who Have Crown to Manhood, Almost
Fifty Per Cent. Have Secured Distinction on
Their Own Account-One President, Two
Generals, Three or Four Diplomatists
and a Cabinet Minister Among Them.
By PAUL DAN BY.
"Hartl gevgr amount to anything, for
he's a big man’s son. He might, if he
had half a chance, but he is over
shadowed completely by his father’s
reputation. Besides, as the son of his
father, his head has been turned prob
ably and he’ll never try to cut much
of a figure."
Remarks like this, often heard when
the son of aan eminent man is under
discussion, indicate accurately the
public attitude toward the youngster
whose father has made a name and a
place in the world for himself. This
is especially true if the father is
President of the United States. But
the facts do not Justify the attitude.
Strictly speaking, only twenty-one
P resident's sons, concerning whom
there are available records, have
grown to manhood. Six Presidents
Washington, Madison, Jaokson,
Polk, Buchanan (a bachelor), and
McKinley left no children. Two
—Jefferson and Monroe—left daugh
ters only. President Johnson had two
sons, but both died before he was Pres
ident, and so do not count. The sons
of thirteen Presidents—John Adams,
John Quincy Adams, Van Buren, Wil
liam Henry Harrison, Tyler, Taylor,
Fillmore, Lincoln, Grant, Hayes, Gar
lield, Arthur and Benjamin Harrison—

have lived to man’s estate. The sons
of Cleveland and Roosevelt are still
bo vs.
Of the twenty-one Presidents' sons
who have reached manhood, nine have
bulked large in the public eye on their
own account, and all but one or two
have stood well among- those who
knew them best; have been solid, sub
stantial citizens. The prominent nine
are John Quincy Adams, President,
diplomatist and congressman; Charles
Francis Adams, publicist and states
man; Robert Tyler register of the
Confederate treasury; Richard Tay
lor, who served with distinguished gal
lantry on the Confederate side of the
Civil War; John Van Buren, promi

ing national politics when he died;
Robert Todd Lincoln, cabinet minis
ter, diplomatist and president of a
world-famous corporation; Frederick
Dent Grant, diplomatist and general
in the army; Henry A. Garfield, law
yer, banker and professor of politics
in a great university, and James R.
Garfield, state senator. United States
Civil Service Commissioner and Com
missioner of Corporations in the De
partment of Commerce and Labor.
Besides the nine who have climbed
*o high there Is John Scott Har

end the father of another. He was a

in his own state, though he was not a
prominent figure in a national sense.

the roll of honor.
The Greatest President’s Son.
Unquestionably, John Quincy Adams
was the greatest President’s son. Even
tvnen a boy he was the closest friend
and companion of his eminent father,
with whom he went to France at tho

Sons of Van Hnren unit W. H. Harri
son.
There are some who would object
to the admission of John Van Buren's
name to the list of Presidents’ sons
who have made good, and it is not
so many years since his career was
the subject of frequent newspaper dis
cussion. It is true that he was a bon
vivant and something of a man about
town. Also, he was somewhat swept
off his feet by the adulation he re
ceived as his father’s son, long being
known derisively as “Prince John.”
But later he entered upon a serious
political career, and, being a highly ef
fective speaker, soon made himself a
power in New Tork. Had he not been
suddenly cut off while at sea he would
surely have made himself felt in na
tional politics.
John Scott Harrison served two
terms in Congress, but the one cir
cumstance that made his name best
known to the country at large oc
curred after his death. Soon after his
burial, his son, Benjamin Harrison,
later to be President of the United
States, went to Cincinnati to search
the premises of a medical college there
for the body of a neighbor that had
been stolen from a cemetery at North
Bend. At Mr. Harrison’s demand the
janitor showed the cadavers awaiting
dissection. The first one raised from
the well was the corpse of his
father, John Scott Harrison, his naked
body and snow-white hair bedabbled
with blood.
These Two Were Confederates.
The name of Robert Tyler is not
well remembered now, but he was a
man of marked ability in many ways.
He wrote very well, but preferred the
law to literature, and after his admis
sion to the bar, settled in Philadelphia
where he established a fine practice
in the days when ito be a "Philadel
phia lawyer” meant a great deal. When
the Civil War broke out he went
South, because Register of the Treas
ury at Richmond and went down with
the Confederacy. He lived till 1877,
but was never able to recover his
place in the world. His brother. Ma
jor John Tyler, had a variegated ca

buit he was not such a public figure
as Robert.

of the war.
President Pierce’s only son was kill
ed when a lad in a railroad accident.
Millard P. Fillmore never rose to
prominence, though for many years he
was clerk of 'the United States Court
at Buffalo, and died a rich man, the
contest over his will having only lately
been closed.
Robert Toilii Lincoln mill Frederick
Dent Grunt.
President Lincoln's surviving son,
Robert Todd Lincoln —“Tad,” his
father’s idol in Civil War days, died
when only a boy—has won higher
honors than fall to the lot of many
men in the law, in the public service
and in business.
His mother wanted him to go to
West Point, win distinction as a gen
eral and then be President, like his
father. The young man didn't like
this programme; neither did his father,
nnd though, at Mrs. Lincoln’s request,
he served for a time on Genertti
Grant’s staff, as captain, he finally car
ried his point and went to Harvard,
where he studied law. He was twen
ty-two when his father was shot ’and
soon afterward went to Chicago,
where he speedily built up a practice
in chancery and other cases involving
careful search and profund knowl
edge of land titles. The destruction
of a large proportion of the real estate
records of the city in the big fire made
such a practice very valuable, and he
had an exceptionally good income for
years before he was made Secretary
of War by President Garfield in 1881.
He returned to the practice of law
when Cleveland assumed the Presiden
tial chair, but in 1889 was made Min
ister to England by President Harri
son. After his return to America, he
became identified with the Pullman
Palace Car Company; on Mr. Pull
man’s death he was made president
of the corporation, and now, at 61,
is a great captain of industry.
Of President Grant’s sons, the eld
est, Gen. Frederick Dent Grant, is
now in command of the Department
of the East at Governor’s Island.
Ulysses S. Grant spends some of his
time near Purdy Station, N. Y., where
he has a farm and where he says he
would rather “sit on the fence and
whittle in the sunshine than be the
Emperor of the whole earth.” He
spends much time, too, in California;
and Jesse R. Grant, the third brother,
also lives in the Golden state. Like
Ulysses S., he has never made a
prominent place for himself. But both
have alwhys been solid, reliable citi
zens, a credit alike to themselves and
their countrymen.
The present Gen. Grant was edu
cated at West Point, was *n assistant

FRONT OF THK RESIDENCE. r—
New York, Nov. 26.—Beginning life
as an orphan bellboy in a Western
hotel, James A, Bailey, “King of Circus
Men,” is now superintending the finish
ing touches on his new $500,000 home,
in Westchester county. “The Knolls,"
as Mr. Bailey has christened the most
beautiful estate in the country, is apt
ly named by its airy, commanding site.
Within the estate, which has an area
of thirty-nine acres, is a large marble
lined lake, a residence which cost be
tween $150,000 and $200,000, n s6o,uuo
stable, a conservatory and a hennery
or fowl house on which was expend
ed SIO,OOO.
There arc four entrances to the large
grounds, and each one is adorned with
handsome iron gates and massive gate
posts. The stable stands on an ele
vation to the left as on centers. On
the right is an artificial lake 200 feet
wide. Crushed bluestone roads and
walks lead in graceful curves to the
house, which stands on a higher emi
nence.
At the western end, which is nearest
the main entrance, there is a garden
of the type known as ’formal,’’ about
150 feet square, with a bronze fountain
confirmed in the military career.
The sons of President Hayes are all
engaged in the law business. Webb
C., who attained brief prominence as
a Volunteer captain in the Spanish
War, is located in Cleveland; R. B.
Hayes Is a citizen of Asheville, N. C.;
Burchard is in Toledo, and Scott A.
is in Pittsburg. Neither Alan Ar
thur nor Russel B. Harrison has ever
essayed to shine in public life,
bons of u Martyred President.
Two of Garfield’s sons have made
good, and there is time for the other
two to forge to the front. Henry
Abram Garfield, the eldest, is now
professor of politics at Princeton,
where he succeeded John H. Finley,
the first incumbent. Although it is
an honorable thing to be professor of
politics at a great university, his ac
ceptance of the chair was a surprise
to many of his friends and admirers,
for he had had many opportunities to
enter public life, and had made both
reputation and wealth at the practice
of his profession, the law, and as a
banker, being president of a big trust
company and connected with several
other financial institutions in Cleve
land.
In 1902 he was offered a place as
National Civil Service Commissioner
by President Roosevelt, but declined it;
the post was then given to his brother,
James Rudolph Garfield, who still
holds it. This young man—he is still
under 40 —seems to have inherited the
political tendencies of his father. He
has been a senator in the Ohio Legis
lature and was the author of a par
ticularly stringent election law, which
possibly was the cause of his defeat
when he sought the nomination for
Congress from his father’s old district.
He still cherishes the ambition to
serve the district in the House as his
father did before him. He is now
Commissioner of Corporations in the
Department of Labor and Commerce.
Irvin McDowell Garfield, the third
son, is a lawyer In Boston. Abram,
the fourth son, "the baby of the
White House,” when his father was
President, is of a scientific and practi
cal turn of mind. He was educated
at the Boston School of Technology,
and may be heard from by and by.
Practically all of the Presidents'
sons who have grown to a man's es
tate. then, have been good citizens;
their lives have been clean, whole
some and a credit alike to their parent
age and their country, while ten of the
twenty have won unusual distinction.
Sons of Congressmen.
It would be hard to find any other
class of prominent Americans whose
sons have done as well as those of the
Presidents. Certainly, no such propor
tion of the soris of eminent Senators
and representatives In Congress have
won distinction.
Simon Cameron's son, Don Cameron,
succeeded his father as the political
primate of Pennsylvania Blaine’s son,
Walker, would have made a noteworthy
place for himself probably if he had
lived. Senator Hearst’s son has won
great prominence In the newspaper
world, is a Oongvessman. and has had
the distinction of being a candidate be
fore the convention for the nomination
to presidential honors.
The first Bayard to sit in the Senate
from Delaware, James W., was suc
ceeded by his sons, James A. and Rich
ard H. The latter’s grandson, Norman
F.. was also a senator for many years.
The Stockton family of New Jersey
furnished five senators, the term of the
first, Richard, who was one of the
“signers,” being preceded by service
In the Continental Congress, and the
term of the last. John P., concluding
In 1875. The Frellnghuysens, also of
New Jersey, gave three senators to the
country; the Colqultts of Georgia as
many, and members of ail four of these
families have served the country in
other ways with distinction, though no
member of any of them is now In pub
lice service. The son of the late Speak
er Crisp has done better than any
Speaker's son. having succeeded his
father in Congress. Uncle Joe Cannon
has no son; neither has Thomas Brack
ett Reed. Colonel Henderson's son has
not made an appearance In public life.
Of the captains of transportation
who created America's great lines of
rail in the second half of the nineteenth
century. Jay Gouid and Commodore
Vanderbilt only left sons who have
been able to hold up their end. Wheth
er William H. Vanderbilt, son of
“Commodore" Cornelius, the founder of
the family, would have shown force
enough to make his way unaided by his
father’s money is a moot questidn;. His
father appeared to have little faith In
him, and, for years after William H.
was a full-grown man, kept him on the
now famous Btaten Island farm. Yet
when the Commodore died, and Wil

listening to the application the banker

"Cornelius Vanderbilt,” was the re

"Possibly related to Commodore
Vanderbilt?” questioned the banker
somewhat quizzically, whereupon the
boy said he was a grandson of the fa
mous railroad king, but explained that
he wanted to be employed, If at all,
on his own merits, and not because
he had a grandfather. He was taken
on and made good as a bank clerk.
Later when his grandfather heard
about it and asked the young man
to accept a minor place in ihe offices
of the New York and Harlem Railroad
at $2,200 a year, he made good there,
too.
William K. Vanderbilt and his son,
"Willie K.;” also the sons of Corne
lius the Second, are all prominently
before the world, hut only Cornelius
the Second made good on his own Di
lative, though the abilities of William
K. —both initiative nnd executive —are
of a very high order.

Goulds, Belmonts, "Jack” Morgan.
None of Jay Gould's four sons—
George, Edwin. Howard or Frank -
has made a failure, but one, George,
has mode a failure, but only one,
George, has attained to anything that
might not be reached by any rich
man's son. When Jay Gould died It
was the general opinion that George
would be able to conserve the family
fortunes, but no one expected he
would be able to do more. In fact.
It has often been said that Jay Gould
himself exoeoted no more. Yet George
Gould Is one of the great, strong
forces In the railway world to-day, and
his dominance In the held he ha*
chosen for his own Is admired by the

grudgingly, perhaps, but none the less
sincerely.
J. P. Morgan, Jr.—" Jack "—promises
to become a line example of the suc
cessful son of a great financial mag
nate, but It Is yet 100 early to set him
down as an unqualified success. John

The Belmonts are very generally fa
miliar as the prominent sons of a
prominent man, but only one of them,
August, has shown great initiative and
force. James Gordon Bennett of the
New York Herald, is one of the few
great newspaper men’s son who hava
carried along their father’s life work
with credit. This he has done cer
tainly. His paper tvas great In the
elder Bennett’s time, and it still holds
Its place.
Sons of Governors, Clergymen nmt
Scientists.
Many Governors of states h'ave left
behind them sons who are as great as
their sires, though not many of them
have chosen polities for their field.
Richard Yates, son of the great “War
Governor" of Illinois, Is an exception.
He also served Illinois as Governor,
his Inauguration coming some thirty
years later than his father’s. The
Rev. Dr. Morgan Dix, rector of Trin
ity Church, in New York, who might
have been a bishop over and over, Is
the son of that New York Governor,
John A. Dix, who said: “If any man
attempts to haul down the American
flag, shoot him on the spot.”
Bishop Potiter, of New York, is the
son of one bishop and the nephew of
another. Dr. Lyman Abbott, editor
and divine, is the son of Jacob Abbott,
, the historian and member of a New
England family that has made good
for generations. Peter Cooper Hew
itt, son of Abram 8. Hewitt, public
ist and captain of Industry, has made
good at thirty or thereabout* most
remarkably In the yet Infant service
of electricity. He bid* fair to enroll
his name on the list of inventors along
with Wutt and Morse and Edison and
Tesla. Ambassador McCormick, whose
name hfts been In the forefront a good
deal of late because of his delicate
position at the Russian Court, Is a son
of one of the McCormicks made fa
mous by the reaper.
Alexander Agassiz, son of Louis
Agassiz the scientist, has made good
In more than one way. Because he
knew his geology so well, he has made
a big fortune In copper, and this ha*
enabled him to prosecute his scientific
researches with absolute Independence.
Though a modest man—as most,
though not all scientists are—he Is not

Oliver Wendell Holmes and Dr.
Mltebrll.
Though most of the famous men'a
sons who have made good havs done
so along lines similar or akin to those
marked out by their fathers, others
have followed hue* entirely new to (hs
family genius. Otlvsr Wendell Ifolmee,

classes. His father was a famous phys
ician In his day, and the son was divid
ed for a time between medicine and lit
erature. Finally, he determined to
work for success with an eye single to
literature, and, curiously enough, K
was (diver Wendell Holmes, the poet
physldaii, who Induced the young man
to do so.
"You cannot win success In both,”
said Holmes to him one day when
breakfasting at the Mitchell home In
Philadelphia, apparently forgetting his
own case. "Win In one or the other
first, medicine preferred. After you
have won, take to literature and win in
that.” Weir Mitchell (took the poet's
advice, made himself one of the world’s
greatest nerve specialists, and then at
fifty set out to win In literature.
Tb mention the sons of American mil
itary and naval heroes who have made
good, and tell how they have done It,
would fill pages of newspaper space.
Gen. Fitzhugh Lee, the son of Commo
dore Sydney Smith Lee; Lieut.' J. L.
Wrtrden, son of Admiral Worden; Lieut.
Cushing, son of the Cushing who dis
tinguished himself In the Civil War, are
among them, and the army and navy
registers are brimful of such names as
Rowan, perry, Winslow and Crownln
shield that recall the deeds of fathers
and forefathers which shine with Im
perishable light on the pages of our
national history.
Strenuous boyhood Days.
It Is worth noting that many of the
successful sons of great Americans
have had In their youth the equivalent
of the training that comes to the
young men without money or Influ
ence who sets out to win. When, aa
told above, the lad Fred Grant, was
with his father before Vicksburg he
endured hunger, thirst and all the dis
comforts that come to the men In the
ranks. Though forbidden, on one oc
casion, to leave the comparative
safety of a gunboat on the Mississippi
River near the Grand Gulf, he slipped
ushore on pretense of chasing a rab
bit, followed the sound of the guns
and watched the battle, well within
range o' the Confederate shot and
shell, dodging behind a tree that his
father should not see him. when the
General rode up.
George Gould never went out and
got a Job as Cornelius the Second had
to. but he was made his father's as
sistant when only 17 or 18, and had
to work harder than anv clerk. He
learned telegraphy then and sat at hts
desk In hts shirt sleeves, a habit which
he has never given up. Young Rocke
feller had to work, too, going Into hts
father's office as soon as he was out
of college, and plugging away for dear
life hours and hours every day.
Young Morgan had to do likewise,
and. of course, the sons of naval and
military heroes who have followed in
their father’s footsteps have had to
stand unon the same footing, both at
Annapolis and West Point, as the
sons of the most obscure cltlxen in the
land.
