1T WOULD BE TOO MUCun

Mr.. Hobart, of New Jersey. who IS 70
De inferred as vice president on the day
that Mr.. Mckinley assumes the duties
Of his office, has a nice understanding
OF relative relationships. New Jersey
Mr.. Hobart says, expects no cabinet
positions and does not anticipate be-
ing called upon to supply any am
bassadors or heads of government
bureaus. New Jersey, in the opinion
CT the vice president-elect, already has
enough. When he was elected a thick
covering of honor was spread over the
whole state, and he does not see why
New Jersey should, so to speak, be
buttered on both sides. Mr.. Hobart
is quite right. It is true that a vice
president is about as much honored
as prophet who stays in his native
land. and he controls about as much
patronage as ward heller; but he Is
for all that pretty big man for little
New Jersey to hold. If cabinet posi-
ton or even chief clerkship were
added, the state would have to be ex-
tended out into the Atlantic ocean or
Tapped over the edge Of Pennsylvania
to make room for SO much official dig
atty.
The danger to the New Jersey mind
of adding, even in the slightest de-
gree, to the strain under which 1t Is
l..
dent to think about, is shown by the
way reason already totters. To add a
single burden would be cruel The
state proposes to send an official mill
tary escort to the capitol with the new
incumbent OF the nations political
