Take Time to Consider

To-day will very probably see the new
Cabinet announced. Of the many who
have been named but seven can be
chosen. The President has been in the
midst of 4 conflicting din of counsel. and
cannot well heed all. We hope he will
leave no strong element in the party I'M
represented. and give the world no rea-
son to say he has been unmindful of the
great services Of the peoples recognized
leaders. Leaders there are by natural
selection. and the popular attachment to
them is oner,f the great moving forces in
government
But if by any chance the President
shall fail TO avoid the quicksands of bad
counsels. or If, through misunderstanding
of men, he shall construct a Cabinet fall
ing short'of the general expectation or Of
the hopes Of any clement in the party,
we trust that the good sense of the party
viii show Itself in the avoidance ofimpa-
thence or iIasty outbreaks, and that all will
take time 70 consider. There are few mis-
takes that cannot be corrected, unless the
man who makes them is driven TO adj
herencc by the angry denunciations of
those who :lre displeased.
These Observations are made because
already we hear expressions of discomfort
at some things which are thought to. be
among the probabilities We hope no
ordinary disappointments will be allowed
to create distrust OF disafecticn.

This is no improvement on yesterday

under the influence of the Eastern lo,r. causing
westerly wind. The Western lo,c is better defined
and ON lower line OF latitude than it appeared to
be yesterday, and is advancing slowly toward
Washington. The indications are that loy

Olive Losaa.s Experience.

This is the way Olive Logan talks about
Fanny Davenport, and, incidentally about the
whole female world: 1t is q terrible experience
for any woman to observe the signs of her loss of
beauty-the growing dizziness Of the eye, the lines
about the mouth, the lack-lustre hair, the chang
ing figure, whether it be losing its rounded curves
or gaining obesity at sacrifice of symmetry but to
an actress this gradual decay is a terror only
second to death ITSELF,
