CABINET CHANGE
MOODY. MORTON AND METcA.F
New Attorney General, Secretary c:
the Navy, and Secretary Of Com
merce and Labor.

Washington. June 25.-A sweeping
change in the Cabinet OF President
Roosevelt was announced ofhcially Al
the White House yesterday.
The announcement came in the form
OF brief typewriter statement issued
BY Secretary Loeb. as follows:
The following Cabinet changes are
announced:
William H. Moody of Massachusetts.
attorney general.
Paul Morton of Illinois. secretary OF
the navy.
Victor H. Metcaif Of California. SEQ
retary Of commerce and labor
The designations of Secretary Cor
telyou and Attorney General Knox
have been accepted. to take effect July
!st"
For two weeks or more it has been
AIown that these changes were i'm
pending. When Secretary Cortelyou
vas designated by President Roosevelt
to be his campaign manager, it was GER
tain that he would retire from the
cabinet upon his assumption of duties
a. chairman of the Republican national
Committee.
One week ago Attorney General Knox
fbrmally announced that he would re-
tire from the Department OF Justice.
probably at the end of the fiscal year.
II was understood at the same time
mat Secretary Moody would succeed
Mr. Knox as attorney general. The
statement was made. however. that.
while the transfer of Secretary Moody
10 the Department of Justice was prob
able. it was dependent. in a measure.
on the Presidents success in securing
such successor for him in the Navy
department as he desired
Since President Roosevelt has been
IN the White House he has made more
han one effort to induce Mr.. Morton
to accept position in his administra-
tlon. Feeling that his life work in the
railroad business, in which he has
achieved success. might be impaired by
his acceptance OF an official position in
the government. he uniformly declined
all such proffers. In consequence OF
this feeling he declined the proffer of
the portfolio of the navy.
He was requested by the President to
reconsider his declination. Night before
last he took dinner at the White House
and the whole subject was considered.
his personal and business friends and
associates.
At the conclusion of the conference
Mr. Morton told the President he would
accept the position in the Cabinet.
Then it was that the other changes,
one of which. at least. was contingent
upon Mr.. Morton's action, was decided
upon definitely.
1t is expected that further changes
will take place in the Cabinet next
winter. Postmaster General Payne
probably will retire from the Cabinet
after the campaign. He will be sue
eeded by National Chairman Cortel-
YOU.
Secretary Moody will continue as a
member of the Cabinet only to the end
Of the present administration on the
4th of March next, when he will retire
to enter upon the practice of law in
Boston.
1t is quite likely that other changes
Will take place in the event Of Mr..
Roosevelt being reelected President,
but no authority exists at this time up
on which to base a forecast of them.

1t is worth asking why it is that
Canada, with all it's sparsely settled
western country, much of it mountain
GUS and almost inaccessible, has been
so free from crimes sof violence. The
answer is probably to+be found in the
fact that the conditions under which
western Canada has been settled and
the manner Of governing the country
are quite different from conditions and
government in our own west at an ear
her day. The absence of Indian wars
and the delayed development of west
ern Canada until the advent of rail
ways have had the effect Of spar
ing that country the presence Of such
wild and reckless class as has charac-
terized our frontier. The government
of the Northwest Territories largely by
means of the.mounted police has proved

sKOVGAARD's MUSICALE

Z; The musical season opened brilliant

Harris, on Kenwood boulevard. The
occasion was musicale given to intro
duce Axel Skovgaard, the Danish, vio-
linist, who has recently come to Min
There were about 80 guests, largely
musicians, present, and the rooms were
beautifully decorated with palms, ferns,
vincas and snlilax. The interest of the
occasion, of course; centered in Mr..
Skovgaard, whose attachments as vio-
linist have become well known here.
He was introduced by Mr.. Harris in
few graceful words, who took the OPP
portunity to congratulate Minneapolis
upon the approaching completion OF the
new Auditorium.
For his first number, Mr.. Skovgaard
played a sonata by Sjogren, a compo
sition which is little known here; but
which was received with marked favor.
1t consisted of four movements, and,
while showing the characteristic Scan
dinavian sadness, was quite modern IN
style and interviewer with bright
CLEANS from sunny Italy. Mr.. Skov-
gard was exceedingly happy in his
interpretation, especially i'm the third
movement; which he played with much
feeling. While not calling for elab-
crate technique, the number ,thoroly

The First Train Robbery in Can.

Our Canadian friends are greatly dis
gusted with the train robbers who re-
Gently held up train on the Canadian
Pacific railway near Vancouver, B. G..
This robbery was ecord-breaking one,
for it is the first time that a railway
train has been held up in Canada. The
train-robbing industry in Canada has
been neglected. In the absence Of do
mestic "talent' in this line, it has
always been a matter of surprise that
some Of our American artists have not
favored Canada with few visits
Train robberies have been SO numer-
Gus in the United States that it is "a
brave man that is ready to run the
risks the undertaking of holding up a
train now involves. In Canada, on the
other hand, where they have never till
now had any experiences with train
robbers, the holding up Of trains ought
to be comparatively easy matter. In.

resistance was offered to the robbers

The Primary Election.

Our primary election system has been
subjected again to a severe strain. Inc
feeling prior to the election was quite
general that the results this time were
likely to be so bad as to raise popular
demand for the repeal of the en2ctlng
clause On the republican side, at
least. the results are better than there
was reason to anticipate. The republl-
can vote was larger than ever before at
any primary, and the results on the
whole are fairly satisfactory. They in
dictate that the voters are coming to eX-
ercise keener discrimination at the
primaries and are learning how to use
the advantages which our primary sys-
tenn places in their hands.
There is substantial encouragement,
for example, in the nomination of Mr..
Jones for mayor. His selection is all
the more significant in view of the fact
that he was forced to divide the votes
of those who are genuinely solicitous
for good government with Mr.. s5chlener.
While we have no charges to prefer
against Mr.. Williams, the fact remains
that he had the support Of what is
known as the Games crowd,' and his
nomination would have been regarded
as triumph of that element, and would
certainly have been public calamity.
The returns, however, show that the
combined votes of the. opposing candi-
dates, representing the opposing princi,
pie in local government, were greatly in
the majority and Justify the claim that
the great majority Of citizens want
good government and can always have
it when they get together.
The results contain some interesting
features. Incumbency In office was
generally great advantage in this cleo
ton, as has been the case previously
Familiarity with the name influences
many votes, and doubtless great many
stupid mistakes were made, and some,
times in quarters where such mistakes
were not to be expected. For example
a. member Of the Minneapolis club
stated in the library Of that institution
the other day, that he proposed to vote
for John Day Smith "because he was sc
successful in prosecuting the Ames
gang This is offered as no criticism
upon Mr.. Smith s nomination, but as ar
evidence of the carelessness of the vot
ers. One Of the democratic candidates
for the bench also doubtless owes his
nomination to the honored name of {
man who has been dead ten or twelve
years, but whose official title was as
sumed in this campaign. r.
Notwithstanding the generally salts
factory results of this primary, on,
system Of nomination still needs mend
ing. The most serious charge agains
it, that relating to the difficulty O
inducing good men to enter the lists, i
still in order, and it behooves some on
who has been chosen to the Legislature
to take up the, task of revising it il
such a way as to make satisfactory re
suits more certain and unsatisfactory re
suits less threatening and possible.

Trade Follows the Newspaper.

Trade follows the newspaper as well
as the flag, and sometimes it follows it
good deal farther. t
The Dominion statistician of Canada
has prepared for the information of
the Duke of Argyle statement show
ing some of the effects of the tariff
preference given by Canada to Great
Britain. In the course Of his report he
criticises the government for imposing
postal rates on English newspapers,
which make it difficult for them to
compete in Canada with American pub
LEGATIONS. The British newspaper is, Of
course, placed at a disadvantage on &C.
count of the remoteness Of the place of
publication, while the newspapers of
the states all along the border get over
into Canada quite as easily and as free
ly as they circulate in the United
States. = -. .
But aside from the disadvantage of
location, the British newspaper is at
a disadvantage because of the prefer
ence of many Canadian settlers fol
American newspapers. The greatest
readers among the Canadian settlers are
from the states, and, naturally, they
wish to have their home papers. ~
Wherever the newspaper goes it ce,r
ries with it the advertisements of chat
locality in which it is printed AID dis
seminates information among consum
ers with regard to the products which
they need and which are to be had il
the centers from which the American
newspapers come. It is the testimony
of the consuls and Of the statisticia1
and the tradesmen of Canada that thi:

The results in these three congression-
al districts, the only ones where con
tests were made last Tuesday, bring out
very clearly one thing. That is the
tremendous advantage the direct
primary law gives to "a congressman.
AS far as the republican nomination is
concerned, member with an. effective
organization is practically settled for
life. This is said without any desire
to quarrel with the republicans Of the
three districts for the selections they
have made.
Generally speaking, 1t is good policy
to keep good men in congress when they
have attained experience and influence,
but it ought to be possible to make a
change. when a change is needed? There
was strenuous opposition to all three
men nominated last Tuesday. Their re-
spective districts were torn up with the
struggle, and the result seemed in
doubt. When the votes were counted
two had been nominated by heavy ma
iorities, and the other by a large plu-
rality. The magic Of the name and
the power of an effective organization
had done it's work. The unthinking
voter, nine times out of ten, votes for
the man who is in, on the theory that
he must, be all right, or he would not
be there. With this condition, nothing
short of a great popular revolt can re-
tire a member. Our Minnesota dele
cation will grow in power and prestige
at Washington under this system, but
with it's feeling of, security is likely to
grow farther and farther from the PEG.

The Chicago Commons, commenting on
new developments Of the labor situation
and the relations between employer and
employee, as indicated by the formation
of citizens alliances for resistance of the
demands of organized labor, says that this
movement is not nearly so dangerous to
labor as the failure of it's own members
and officers to appreciate how responsible
they are and how 'sternly they will be-
held for the use they make of the power
they possess. Will their leaders look
upon their power, it asks, as a sacred
TRUST committed to them by their great
constituency, and will they use it for the
whole mass of wage-earners and be able
to resist the temptation to violence and
radicalism? Will they be able to exercise
that patience which will await legitimate
growth, or will they abuse the powers
they have had conferred upon them, ig-
| noring the fact that the labor organization
lis capable Of being one Of the strongest
and best law-keeping forces in. American

DEMOCRACY AND THE WEST
Sioux City Journal.

o. sioux City journal.
The Boston Herald which is not re-
publican newspaper, finds consolation for
this year in the reflection that the demo-
cratic party has never been successful
VIXEN it secured the support Of the west
erl.@states AS the democratic party has
NOT. frequently been successful since the
civil war the statement will not be diff
cult to verify. 1t may be observed in
passing, however, that if the democratic
party can get along without the west the
west will take chance on getting along
without the democratic party.
