CEE 1hNo h1ANAANNa
The announcement that members OF
the cabinet will take part in the con.
gressional campaign. in defense of re.
publican principles and policies, is said
to have aroused some criticism ut Wash.
ington. Of course on the part Of demo
Gratis. The opponents of the republican
party can see no proprlety in cabinet
officials going on the stump In behalf of
that party, though no men In public
life are more favorably situated to en-
tighten the people as to the views Of
the administration on public questions
information which 1t is certainly desir-
able the people should obtain from the
most trustworthy source.
Secretary Of the Treasury Shaw has
already made speeches in which he dig
cussed the tariff and the trust questions.
II is presumed that he represents the
position Of the administration and this
gives special value and significance to
his utterances. Secretary of Wal Root
is to speak in the campaign with the
Philippine policy of the government as
his special subject. There is no one
better, II so well. qualified to discuss
this question and there is no doubt his
treatment Of 1t will be most informing.
Attorney General Knox, it is under
stood, will particularly discuss the trusts
from a legal point Of view and there is
every reason to expect that the people
will obtain a fuller and clearer knowl-
edge of this subject from what he shall
say regarding II. 1t seems to us there
officials communicating to the public
their views as to questions with which
they have directly to do, of which they
are well informed and which vitality
concern the interests and welfare of
the people.
The head of the civil service COM
mission, Mr.. Foulke, is reported to have
expressed the opinion that it is the right
and ever the duty of cabinet officers to
take part In political campaigns and
that 1t is often particularly appropriate
that they should personally set forth
the reasons which justify their W
political or official action and that of the
administration Of which they are a part.
think anybody who will consider the
matter fairly must. concur with this.
AS Mr.. Foulke correctly argues, cabinet
officers are political appointees and are
thus to be distinguished from men APP
pointed under civil service rules without
political influence, and who, therefore,
ought not to express any opinion upon
political problems. The objection to the
participation Of cabinet officers In a
campaign that IL is injurious to political
dignity and propriety is hardly worthy
of serious consideration. There is moth
ing in the position of a member of the
cabinet that should require him to hold
aloof from the discussion, on the stump
or elsewhere, of public questions. He is
hedged about by no dignity that i'm
poses such restraint.
4 1t is understood that the members of
the cabinet who will take part in the
congressional campaign do so with the
approval of the president, If not indeed
on his suggestion. At all events there
ia no improperly in their public discus
sion Of principles and policies in the
carrying out Of which they have an i'm
portant part.

opposition is due to the belief that the
proposed system Of branch banks would
be destructive of independent banking
and would result in a bank monopoly
controlled in the east. The objections
to an asset currency were fully and
strongly stated at the convention Of the
bankers Of several states held in Kan
sas City some time ago. The feeling
throughout the west in this matter is
very strong and it is safe to say hat
few western representatives in congress
can be induced to support any measure
providing for branch banks and asset
currency.

Just to make 1t easier to find rhymes
In his think tank, the Lincoln Journal
poet laureate has taken the liberty of
~abbreviating the name of the fusion
candidate for congress in the First Ne
braska district from Hanks to Hank.
In the amenities of the campaign many
things are permissible, but we protest
that this is carrying poetic license al
together too far. With a little more
effort, words can be made to rhyme
with Hanks as well as with Hank.

OPPOSED TO THE RANK TRUST.
Western BANKERS Frown Upon en-,
Branch Bank Scheme.
n~hIlaanInhIn nnrnra

Philadelphia Record.
ne bankers Of the west profess to see
in the Fowler banking bill to authorize
the establishment Of branch banks an at
tack on the very life OF all the western
banks. At the recent meeting OF the Wis
consin Bankers association II was the al
most unanimous opinion that the great
banks Of the east would form a trust under
the measure and monopolise the business.
that they would establish banks through
out the country. lend money at lower inter
est than the present banks can afford TO do
business for and thus gain absolute control.
This, Il was urged, would be followed by
an asset currency, with subsequent depreci-
alton and all the evils of the French revo-
lutionary currency. II was suggested that
the desired elasticity could be given to the
present currency by allowing the national
banks to diminish or Increase their circu-
lation by deposlting or Withdrawing their
government bonds as the need Of currency
might require from time to time. A leading
Oshkosh banker warned the association that
the City Bank of New York, with $500, 000,-
900 capital, would dominate this country II
it could have branch banks; that 1T would
dictate the tariff legislation, make or pre-
vent wars, own all the ships and rail-
roads and mines and hold the country In
the hollow Of It's hands"
Evidently the western bankers do not be-
lieve in a bank trust In the control OF New
Workers. They fear the consequences OF
80 much power in q few hands. Yet in all
the recent discussions Of the trust ques.
tion the bankers have been disposed to de-
fend the methods by which the trusts have
monopolized certain industries, and have
discredited the fears Of the public that the
trusts might use their tremendous influence
to direct legislation against the peoples
interests.
There Is no terror In an asset currency
II 1t be based on a suficiency of assets,
with suitable safeguards OF redemption, nor
in a system that would serve to equslize
the rate OF interest throughout the country.

Rude SCOTS I'm Cuba.

Dramatic art as practiced in Havana
should be given the close attention Of Min
lister squires. The present theatrical sue
cess is entitled Cuba in the Year 1000" and
deals disrespectfully with the Platt amend

man steps before the calcium, tears up the
amendment and exclaims, "Now we have
done away with the amendment, we are a

course, highly satisfactory from a dramatic
point Of view, but ~undeHiably ungrateful

LoUIsIANA's CAPITAL.

The old struggle for the honor Of being
the capital of Louisiana has broken out
anew, number of the New Orleans city
council is urging the removal of the capt.
toll from Baton Rouge to New Orleans.
The New Orleans papers do not shout
their approval of the proposition. On the
contrary, the Times-Democrat declares
that it will be ridiculed from the Arkansas
line to the gulf and that there is abb
solutely nothing to commend the scheme
to enlightened public sentiment"
The Times-Democrat continues:
IAN persons who have lived sufficiently
long in Louisiana to become acquainted
with the history of the state and with
the temper of it's people, understand that
for reasons of weight the capital was for
many years before the war situated at
Baton Rouge; that after the war. for
reasons without weight. the capital was
removed to New Orleans and that later,
when the democratic party was restored
to power one of it's earlier acts was to
fix the capital seat in the historic city
in which for many years it had been
situated. In the constitutional convention
of 1898 the question was again considered
and again decided by this explicit pro-
vision:
Art 161. The seat OF government shall
be and remain at the city of Baton
Rouge.
1T is unnecessary to review here the
arguments presented both in favor OF
and in opposition to Mr.. Moss suggestion.
1t is perhaps sufficient to state that the
constitutional convention, afer reviewing
the situation from every possible point OF
view, declared that for the peace. pros
perity and honor of the commonwealth
the capital seat should be and remain
at the city of Baton Rouge"
1t is a very rare thing to see a news
paper opposing a proposition to honor It's
own city. but the Times-Democrat takes
a broad-minded view of the question and
doubtless expresses the conviction of the
great majority of the people of Louisiana
on this question.
