THE CABINETS ACTIVITY.


1T WAS ANNOUNCED from Wash
ingtOn a few days ago that at the
time the dispatch was sent not a sim
gle member of the presidents cabinet
was at his post OF duty. The president
himself was at his summer home in
Oyster Bay and the government was
In the hands Of first, second and third
assistant secretaries and chief clerks.
And in tie face OF this condition Of
Affairs the civil service commission is
sued an order to the effect that fed
eral officials should at once cease their
political activity.
OF course the civil service commits
sion has no authority over the mem
bers Of the cabinet Neither has It
authority over the humblest govern
ment Official IL can only call attcn-
tion to breaches OF the regulation re
garding interference in politics and
the president may or may not dis
Charge the offender as he sees fit.
Now It doesn't seem reasonable to sup
pose that the recent order Of the COM
mission viii be obeyed. for there isn't
a federal official in the land who
doesn't know that his tenure Of Office
depends on the zeal With which he es-
DOuses the Roosevelt cause.
Is it fair to criticize q postmaster
who leaves his Office TO run itself for
days at a time while he electioneers
for Roosevelt when the postmaster
general is a stranger in his own office?
Where Mr.. Payne devotes an hour 10
the duties for which the people pay
him he gives days to politics. In sea-
son and ont OF season he is playing
the game OF politics. though ne draws
salary from the governments and the
government has a right to demand
that he give It all of his time.
Then there is Secretary Shay. Mr..
Shaw is touring the Pacific coast just
now while he lets the treasury depart
ment run itself. His mission on the
coast is to expound Republican doc
trines. He. too. draws a salary from
the government: he. too. should de-
vote his entire time to his work
The other members Of the cabinet
arc distributed wherever the national
Republican committee thinks they
can do the Republican cause the most
good All OF which makes pertinent
the question: Why do we have cabinet
officers? Are the places they hold
merely ornamental? Are the men who
fill the places named merely because
they can further the ambition or the
president who appoints them? If the
answer to these questions is yes" is
It fair to expec. the people to go
down into their pockets TO pay sala-
ries to cabinet officers?
II is true that the salaries OF the
cabinet, added together and divided
by S0,O00,OO0 do not constitute a very
heavy tax on the individual. citizen.
il is the principle that we complain
Of not the expenditure OF the money.
The example set by tie cabinet is per.
nicious. it is an encouragement TO
every government employee to neglect
his work when political campaigns
are on.

NJ oW THAT THE END Of the swim
~ ming season is practically in sight
the statisticians are beginning to fig
ure UP the deaths by drowning in the
United States during the summer OF
1904. An authority says that more
than 1900 persons have been drowned
this year. That is, that many have
been reported in the newspapers 1t is
not ut all unlikely that many other
cases failed to receive mention, and it
is safe to place the total at round
1000
The fool that rocked the boat contrib
uted Isis share to the total, tho man
who couldn't swim and ventured out
beyond his depth. the good swimmer
who swan way out into the river or
into the ocean and was seized with
cramps. All of these and other causes
go TO make Up the black showing
But, IN spite OF the old theory that it
is the best swimmer who gets drowned,
the statistics go to show that Of some
thing like so per cent of the fatalities
the victims were unable to swim.
The conclusion that it is the duty OF
parents TO have their children taught
TO swim is irresistible. In many, many
cases, even a rudimentary knowledge
Of swimming would have been enough
TO save life. 1t is the inability to take
the few strokes necessary to salvation
that causes the drowning OF men and
boys who get beyond their depth. For
them it may be only a few feet TO safe
~, but they drown because they can
not cover even thft short distance. The
tragedy in such happenings is not suf-
ticiently appreciated.
Swimming is by no means a difficult
art Any boy, any man or woman or
girl can learn to swim in few les
sons. TO swim at least well enough to
get out Of a hole in a river or lake
bottom. To learn to swim we'll and for
long distances takes time. but anything
that is worth while involves the ex-
penditure of time and trouble The
learning OF swimming is well worth
the time it takes. Besides, it is a
healthy exercise, a wholesome recrea-
ton. Swimming keeps the body clean,
makes the muscles strong.
To neglect it is little short OF Grim
inal. Don't be miSled by the thought
that the best swimmers are the ones
who drown. There is abundant testi-
rnony 10 the contrary.

The case was brought against
Allen by Game Warden Willink. Mr..
Willink testified that the defendant
had told him that he had killed five
turkeys and sold them, and later he
produced letter from Mr.. Allen in
which he claimed that he had only
killed two, and not five. The defend
ant explained his discrepancy on the
grounds of the proverbial eXaggera-

The case was continued. owing to
the absence of material witnesses. Mr..
Nillink stated that he could produce

turkeys, and until these witnesses can

Dear Sirs-Our little daughter has
been greatly benefited by the use of
Ozomulsion. She did not seem to thrive
in growth, and nothing that we did for
her seemed to do her any good. She
did not eat with any relish and was
losing flesh. In this condition we COM
menced to give her Ozomulsion with
most remarkable results. She gained in
flesh and strength from the very outset
Of the treatment. Her appetite became
very much better and now she is as
healthy a child as one could find.
We found Ozomulsion very beneficial
for coughs and colds, and for children
it is especially desirable by reason of
its pleasant taste. Our little daughter
loves the taste of OZomulsion, and this
makes it easy to give to her.
