the Senate will not coufrm him, and The
reasons are first, because Of his South

The Cabinet is now composed of eight
members instead of seven. The Cabinet

Secretary OF State, Treasury, War, Post
master General and Attorney General. In
1909 the position of Secretary OF the Navy
was created and Paul Hamilton was
chosen by President Jefferson March T. of
The same year N ill the position. In 1919
the position OF Secretary OF the Interior
was created and Hon Thomas Ewing Was
chosen to I'LL the position by President
Taylor. The above named departments
are intended 10 transact the business oil
the country while the department OF Ag
riculture Is merely for certain purposes
not of general nature. We believe
commits sioner Of Agriculture would have
served the interests Oi the farmer just as
we'll, hence The wisdom Of creating the
position remains TO be seen. The pension

Germ disbursing about one-iOurth OF th'
