MONEY IN LARGE THINGS,

Size means money in berries. even if

Senator Spooner for the
Cabinet.

Senator John c, Spooner IS
prominently mentioned in Wash
ingron tor the attorney general s
portfolio in the new cabinet OF
President Roosevelt. The Wash
ington Times says: Senator
Spooner will succeed Mr.. Moody
IN the cabinet, and he will be the
greatest attorney general the
United States has ever had. Sen
ator Spooner has always been
one of the Presidents closest adj
visors on legal matters. In trust
legislation the Wisconsin sena-
tors opinion has been given
nuch weight, and he is one OF
the few senators who are called
in conference at the White House
when stubborn questions arise
The Times also says that Sen
ator Spooner has always had
presidential aspirations. In this
connection it says: His great
ability as lawyer is universally
recognised and it is not unlikely
that he thinks brilliant career
as attorney general would do
more to put him in line for the
presidency than further service
in the senate. :"

Why Be Surprised?

There is no excuse for being
surprised over the result OF the
election. Calmly sit down and
examine the position in which
the democrats found themselves
at the opening of the campaign.
The strongest card that Alton
A. Parker played during his en-
tire appearance upon the politi-
cal stage was his gold telegram,
and that was a splendid tribute
to Republican craftsmanship and
to Roosevelt and Mckinley. He
frankly admitted that his party
had been wrong for eight years
and that the Republicans had
been right. There was nothing
for the nation to gain on the
financial issue by electing Parker,
for he promised only what Roose-
welt and Mckinley had fulfilled.
Then take the tariff issue. The
Democratic platform declared
protection a robbery, while its
candidate for vice-president de
yclared incidental protection to
be all right Had the Democracy
stood firmly for tariff reform, as
it pid in Grover Clevelrnd's time,
it would have been defeated, for
the nation has not forgotten the
experiments of the tariff reform
ers. While some few Democratic
orators were agu1ng Tor tree
trade, others pretended to be IN
suited because their party was
called f.ee-trade party, while
all the while the platform itself
was maintaining. that protection
was a robbery. Thus upon this
old Cleveland issue there was lit
tie but confusion in Democratic
minds ,-Brookly Times.

II is not surprising that "a defense of the

given a conspicuous place in our esteemed
much has been said in the light and airy
p~ersifage of the press about the flirting
and frivolous typewriter that a mistaken
idea has been created regarding this hard
working and invaluable attachment of
every busy man. The impression is fos-
tered that the young woman stenographer
OF our times is more or less of a breezy,
bleached, blond creature, who divides the
time that belongs to her real duties among
various diversions and entertainments
which do not properly come to a refined
and intelligent woman. In this suggestive
situation it is Unnecessary to say that the
stenographer does not always appear in
the most favorable light. Just why license
has been taken with a class of young
women who, perhaps more than any other,
deserve commentator and praise, we do
not understand. The successful stenogra-
pher, who is now known as the Secretary
rather than the typewriter of the establish
ment. wins her way solely by merit, and in
many, we might say all. prominent estab-
lishments, success is won by industry. in

most confidential character. 1t is in their
power oftimes to do infinite harm. and vet.

conspicuous absence of the private secre-

cease. They are no longer amusing; they
are not even eXcuSable.
