Mr. Morton was astonished that anybody

astonished because he refused to do so.
Mr.. George v. L. Meyer. ambassador to
Italy, would enjoy seat in the cabinet,

MFR. Cortelyou will be nominated as Post
master General as soon as he closes up the
affairs of the national committee. and Mr.

Department of Commerce and Labor. Both
are young men without fixed policies or
program, who are not afraid OF work or
responsibility, and are not subject to DO

interfere with their usefulness. The Prest-
dent wants young men around him. He
prefers men without records or too much
experience. When somebody suggested
certain eminent gentleman as good cabinet

person mentioned was too big q man for

retire shortly after tho 4th Of March, but

upon both national and local legislative
affairs in marked degree.
Senator Cockrell is, perhaps. the most
unique figure in Congress. His extreme

him a place in the United States Senate

Secretary Morton.
Secretary Morton signed for one season
only and can ask to be released on the 4th
of March His intimate friends and former
associates have been confident that he
would get enough of official experience by
that time, and be glad to return to his old
place as vice president of the Santa Fe
Railway Company. which has been kept
vacant for him: Mr.. Morton made great
sacrifices when he became Secretary of the
Navy, but he gratified his own pride and
ambition, as well as President Roosevelt.
by doing SO, and could afford it for the
time being. He relinquished salary of
$4,000 a year and abundant opportunities
to make other money for 5000 a year,
which does not pay his house rent.
If he decides to remain in the cabinet he
must give up as promising a career as was
ever offered young man In America. 1t
Is no secret among his friends that he will
some time succeed Mr.. Ripley as president
Of the Santa Fe company and for that
reason he has declined several unusual
offers from other railways. When the
Pacific. Southern Pacific and other con-
tributing systems Mr.. Morton was offered
the position of traffic manager. with a SAL
airy of $4,000 year. which was a con-
popular opinion that he IL the ablest traffic
manager in the United States. Few men
WIN can command such positions and such
q salary would be willing to serve their
expenses to which cabinet minister is sub
Ject.
Mr. Morton is considered a great success
thus far, and, during the recent campaign
developed remarkable political sagacity.
He made some of the best points suggested
and his Judgment was never at fault. He

BRYAN AN LOUISVILLE,

William Jennings Bryan in hiI
great Phoenix Hall speech in Lou

Judge Parker:
You ask me what Parker will
do. He stands for a reduction of
the army. He stands for the re.
mUvsl of the race issue. He stands
for the elimination of imperial.
ism from our country, and be
stands for 4 spirit of peace instead
of spirit of war. IL you want to
know how dangerous to this couu.
try's welfare is the spirit of war,
let me remind you of what took
place in Panama. One morning
the department sent a dispatch,
Understand there is an uprising
down there" And the answer
came, Not yet; expected this af-
ternoon,"
Within few days we had re.
cognized a little seeding repub.
lie. WhyY Because it had a Pa
uama canal in it's pocket that we
wanted, and we allowed our policy
to be determined by what we re-
garded as our financial interests.
Would Roosevelt have dealt the
same had the country been Eng.
land, or Germany or EPanca2 III
so We would now be in the midst
of war as disastrous as that now
raging between Russia and Japan.
But you tell me he would not have
done it if it had been big nation.
Then shame on President who
would bully a little Republic and
not act the same way toward a
great monarchy or nation"

faith in Christ in his teens and Joined
the Methodist church. He lived a
Christian life for some time but by neg.
lecting his duty and by listening to the
great deceiver Of his soul he.was mislead
and 80 he lived an up and down life for
some time. During this time he talked
to friends and loved ones over his con.
dition, and perhaps many times while
the Lord was dealing kindly and gently
with him He has been trying to draw our
brother Hamilton out into a work that
would honor and glorify His most Holy

The great Russian Baltic feet

The great Russian Baltic feet
has started out on its career of
conquest and of glory. Sailing
through the North sea the other
night it spieda large number of
small vessels quietly anchored.
Imagining that the japanese des-
troyeIs were upon them, they op-
ened fire with their big guns and
threw two or three hundred shells
among a hotilla of pescesble Brit.
ish fishermen, sinking several of
their boats and killing and woun-
ding a number Of British sailors
Aud now the very dickens is to
pay. John Bull has on his war
paint and swsars vengeance. The
situation has an ugly look and it
will require the INCEST kind of di-
plomaoy to adjust matters. The
fishermen say the Russians were
not over half a mile distant with
their ssarchlights playing on them
all the time. The most probable
excuse for this blunder is, that in
'heir fear OF the Japanese torpedo
boat destroyers the Russians lost
18th their heads and their nerve.
Or it NAV be the Russian Admi-
raj thought he had finally found
something he could whip.
