A CABINET POSITION.

The suggestion recently made by Sena-
tor Perkins that there is a good prospect
for California to obtain in the next admin
istration Cabinet Office Is one which de-
serves the most careful consideration OF
all Republicans. There can be no question
that the interests of the State and
the Coast wonld be greatly advanced
If a Californian should be called to
the Cabinet. However strong may be our
delegation in Congress at any time the
simple fact that it may rarely or never be
representative of single party, and that
possibly it may not be in political sympathy
with the President, lessons its efficiency in
comparison with that of Cabinet posi-
ton. Moreover, as Congressman are
elected by districts, each will naturally
care more for the interests of his constitu-
ents than for those OF other Congressman,
and hence the likelihood of perfect har-
mony of action is always remote. Expe-
rience has shown us that it is not to be
expected.
Cabinet officer occupies an entirely
different position. He is the personal
choice of the President and occupies the
position of confidential friend and adviser.
He is hot product of capricious and often
ill-advised political selection. He is in
constant official and social touch with the
President and helps to constitute the inner
working force of the Government. In a
Nation whose chief officer has greater
power than any crowned head of Europe,
except possibly the Gar of Russia, con-
fidential adviser of the President and head
OF one of the great executive departments
OF the Government is in a position to exer-
else enormous power.
Senator Perkins has indicated the
means by which the Republican party of
California can hope to secure so valuable a
price shat is to send an unpledged dele
cation to the National Convention. 1t
stands to reason that in the defeat of any
Presidential candidate to which a State
delegation is pledged that State cannot
hope to secure Cabinet position, and we
all know how uncertain is the nomination
OF any particular candidate. With an
unpledged delegation California would be
in commanding position. A Californian
in the Cabinet would mean a friend on
guard for the entire coast.
The use of extraordinary care is re-
quired to secure proper understanding of
Western conditions among the millions of
Eastern people who know and care moth
ing about this region. Recent occurrences
have furnished Us with abundant evidence
that California, neither for its own sake
nor that of the country at large, through
fair recognition of our needs, occupies
any appreciable share of Eastern atten-
ton. We are too remote for our necessi-
ties to urge themselves unaided. An in
telligent and earnest Californian in the
Cabinet would make all the difference.
This consideration has special signifi-
cance for Republicans since Republican
President will undoubtedly be elected
Our peculiar and valuable industries need
protection, our coast needs defenses and
our rivers and harbors should be improved

A RELIGIOUS REVIEW.
CALIFORNIA PASSES UNDER THE SCRUTINY OF
EMINENT CHupcuMAN

CALIFORNIA PASSES UNDER THE SCRUTINY OF AN
EMINENT CHURCHMAN.
The Rt. Rev. ]. w. Hott, bishop of the
United Brethren church, has recently written
for the Dayton (Ohio) Religious Telescope re-
view OF California from the church members
point of view.
''The religious or non-religious aspects of
the country" the good bishop writes. ''present
pecnilar medley. On one hand there is
large class of good citizens who recognize or
care put little for the church, or Christianity
as such, and really take no part in the services
ol the church In any regular way. They believe
httie or nothing in particular, and seem to
care but little for the future life.
Ihere is below this a crowd of which need
not speak. Where are they going? Who can
tell?
Among religionists there is still wider
range OF variety. There is bold Unitarian
ism, as 1t may be called, which lays down the
largeness of thought which really lives on the
creation OF vital Christianity, but itself ignores

Ioundest scholars of the Christian world can

Already 1t has produced kind of sneer in
many places for aggressive reformative, re-
hglous, churchly effort.
In another field there is a vast company of
splrituaiiy minded people who hold the old Or
tnodox Ideas OF Christianity, but have empha-
slZeo peculiar spiritual conceptions, until they
nave gone out OF the church into various Or
sanlZations, or are retaining a mem bership in

means to make their public spirit effective.
Much handsome work of this kind has
been done, but much still awaits the do
ing. The names of Stanford, Lick, Will
merding, Sutro and others have passed
into the permanent history of the State by
reason of generous gifts to the people.
Others, like Claus Spreckels, deserve equal
praise for investments and improvements
on splendid scale that insure the pros
perity and establish the fame of the State.
but the number of such citizens is small in
proportion to the number of millionaires
who have made their fortunes here. The
aspirations of some have been checked by
malicious and irresponsible journalistic
sneer here or there, and that has been a
misfortune. There is an old story of q
millionaire, now dead, whose pur-
pose to establish a great art school
was killed by an insulting paragraph
referring to his ignorance of artistic mat
ters. Responsible San Francisco journal
ism has outgrown that folly. It is now
we'll understood that millionaire, not
groveling in his hoard but spending it
wisely for the public good, either in bene-
factions or great industries, will find the
people eager with evidences of apprecia-
ton. The only trouble is that too few
millionaires seem to realize the new and
nobler order of things.
Instead of that some of them find Cali
fornia a bore and tolerate it only because
it is generous nourisher of their purses.
A few of the richly lowered daughters of
fathers who have dug their treasure from
Cal1fornia's resources are better pleased to
marry Impoverished Europeans of title
than the sturdy, manly and chivalrous
lads born on this sol! and strong with it's
vigor and hopefulness. 1t is no consola-
ton that wretchedness commonly follows
these unions; there is all the more pity
for that. Besides these hapess girls there
are rich men who find distant countries
more congeniaI TO their tastes and more
eager for their money than this most
richly blessed of all the corners of the
earth. With them California is merely a
machine for the turning out of money.
The pleasure of living in place so genial
and kind and with people so generous
and responsive falls before the shrewdness
and greed of a civilization that depends
upon the aliIrements of glittering exter-
nails. With such of our citizens as this it
is more congenial to be birds for easy Eu-
factors in the land of their birth. 1t is for
this reason that THE CALL enjoys an emf
nent satisfaction in recording a public
spirited act On the part of California
millionaire.
