PRESIDENCY AND CABINET.
Present Counselors of the President
and the Probabilities Of
a Change.

President Roosevelt has renominated
all the members of his old cabinet ex-
cept Postmaster General Wynne. who
goes as consul general to London. ana
George b. Cortelyou takes his place in
the presidents official family. This Sc
lection had been expected. says the St.
Louis Globe-Democrat 1t was pretty
well known at the time of Wynne's an
pointment to the head of the post Of
flee department that the choice was
only temporary. and that Mr.. Cortel-
you. who lad resigned from the de-
partment of commerce and labor. would
succeed Wynne.
1t is now understood that Secretary
Shaw is to remain in office only a year.
He will then have held the treasury
portfolio four years. and wants 10 re-
tire at that time. Report has had il
for several months that Shaw's STAY in
the new cabinet would be short. and
that on leaving il he would begin q
canvass for the presidential nomina-
ton for 1908. OF course. under ex-
listing conditions a cabinet officer could
while retaining his place, work for the
presidential nomination. The presi-
dent has taken himself out of the reck-
oning for president any more Every
one of his council is al liberty to aspire
openly TO the succession and TO work

Several of the cabinet officers are
understood TO be asprants for the pres

RoOSEvELT'S DEVELOPMENT
The Successful Standard Bearer
Our Great and Progressive
Nation.

IL ever there was a statesman who
could say in the language of Holy Writ.
Mine eyes have seen thy salvation il
is he VINO was installed by united PEG
pie as head of the American common
wealth. More favored he than that
prophet, who. having seen the land o.
promise. could not enter therein. Theo-
dore Roosevelt, having led his fellow
citizens out of the clouds of sorrow and
into the light of new and greater dawp
ing of prosperity. retains his place at Tia,
head of this marching host of civiliza-
ton, and is still the standard bearer OF
the progress OF nearly 100, 600. 600 of hui
man souls.
The development of President RooSe
welt as a world figure. says the Troy
Times, has been so rapid and so undis
puted that ii tinges recent history with
the charm of romance This young
scholar, warrior and reformer finds him
self, by the shocking summons of an as
sassination, placed in the unexpected po
sition of a leadership toward which the
world has been looking for guidance.
VIII he be the master of the oppor-
tunity? The answer is read in that
matchless verdict of approval which
makes the returns of the election of No.
vember, 1904. so sweeping as to daunt
the imagination. By his fruits he has
been made known, and what administra-
tor In so short time and confronted by
so many, so important and so diverse
problems. has ever made similar his
tory of achievement and of success?
Commended by men of all parties, as
popular president as ever lived, in
what shall the secret of his success be
found? In that Astounding energy which
makes work seem the synonym Of rec
reation? In the foresight which accom-
plishes results while others are still
meditating over plans? In the manly
sympathy which has the open hand for
every follower of truth. and which en-
tompasses every form of culture, from
the Strengthening of muscles to the
clarifying of spiritual aspirations?
Truly in all these, and yet. more than
in all of them. in the frank honesty
which takes the people into his conf
dence and which wins their belief that
mere is man who means what he says
and who is always on their side
1t is such a president whom a glad
people welcomes to a new term of
authority The citizens of this great
union of states know that what has
been shall be. and that the courage. the
candor and the skill which have made
President Theodore Roosevelt the ad-
miration of the forum and the idol of
the household will continue to keep him
a true and faithful tribune of the peo-
pie.

REASON TO BE THANKFUL.
With the Inaug lration of President
Roosevelt the Nation Is In
sured Success.

mo people on earth" said Mr.
Roosevelt in his inaugural address.
have more cause to be thankful than
ours. Let us hope SO. And why
should not our hope be realized? We
have great country, as cur presi-
dent has often told us. We are a great
and powerful people reasonably intel
hSent, virtuous perhaps above the
average OF nations; we are just in our
dealings; we are at peace with the
world; we have no enemies that we
know Of, aud we fear nothing. 1t is
a fertile ana smiling land that we in
habit. We are industrious. The gains
OF our toll and the profits of our trade
make us richer from year to year All
these are causes for thankfulness, SAYS
the independent democratic New York
Times.
We have just inaugurated as our
president man whose great gifts of
mind and strength of character leave
us in no doubt whatever about his
ability to bear up under the RESPONSE
bilities of that Office. He is high
minded, resolute, independent, self
sustaining, beyond all evil enticements
and persuasions. and fully determined
II he can bring it about that we shall
increase in honor and estate during his
chief magis'racy. Other nations thus
favored by fortune might fall into a
condition of besotted content That
peril does not confront us Mr.. Roose-
welt will not permit it, He admon-
ishes us that the problems we have to
solve
of administering under democratic
forms the affairs of a continent is
vast and formidable" that if we fail
the cause of free self-government
throughout the world will rock to its
foundations" No man save one &C
tuated by the worst motives would dis
pute or deny anything the president
said in his inaugural 1t is indeed true
that our duties and our responsibilities
demand of us courage, hardihood and
endurance.
President Roosevelt is alive to the
responsibilities of his place He has a
due sense of what is expected of him
as the successor of Washington, of
Lincoln, and of himself He sees more
problems more difficulties. more perils
than most of us, it may be. but he
knows that he has the strength to
Withstand anything that may come
along, and triumph over it whatever
its nature. Nor have we any anxiety
on that score. SO why should we not
be thankful? 1t depends a good deal
upon President Roosevelt after all.
Perhaps the country is very we'll off
as it is. In its present condition and
promise we may find abundant cause
for thanifulness. Why not let the
country alone for time? 1t is doing
pretty well. Give it a chance. Our
causes for thankfulness. indeed would
be increased by one, and that a great
one. If we felt some reasonable assur-
ance that the president himself at the
beginning of his term would be some
what more disposed than in the past
to leave the country free under the
operation of natural laws and forces
to achieve its destiny.

Too Much For Him,

several years ago a relative of mine
living in nearby state came to visit
me. OF course 1t was just the thing
to take him bear hunting. We did so.
and when in the thicltcst of the woods
and brush, where we knew there were
bear, the young fellow was put on Il
stand and told Just how to act in
case n bear came along. The trail
was not difficult to find, and several
times we got so close to Mr.. Bear
that we could hear him growl. Final

Story of a Double Life.

It IS the QueereSt story Of a double life
mot in the usual meaning Of that term,
but a double professional life-that has
been told in this generation. 1t is q
story of a representative attorney per-
suing a grotesque career of crime in
voIving the use of two sets of stationery
for communication with clients and VIC
tins. q story of q masquerade main
tanned for fully six years. during which
the standing of Thomas p. Wickes has
never even been questioned and the
identity Of Wickes and Jarvis has fe-
manned unsupported in spite of the close
kinship that existed between all .heir
operations.
The specific charge against Wicl5es IS
that he attempted to blackmail Edward
Weston, of the Weston Electrical Com
pany, of Newark, who was being sued
by Dr. Ashbel T. Grinnell. formerly dean
of the medical faculty of the University
of Vermont, for $4,000. for false arres.
and Imprisonment. Wickes was the at
torney for DIR. Grinnell and it is because
under the name of Lewis Jarvis he
wrote letters to Weston advising him to
settle if he wanted to avoid arrest and
a probable term in Sing Sing for per-
jury, that he was arrested.
The New York authorities have not
acted hastily in the matter. When it was
first brought TO District Attorney
Jerouie's attention he would not believe
1t. 1t took two weeks of the closest in
vestigation to convince him. And even
when he asked for an indictment. he
said frankly that he thought the accused
man must be insane There was no other
way of accounting for it.
The Washington times., 1905-06-25

however, without Wickes help. Even
Osborne. representing Weston, had
Lewis Jarvis letter offering to effect a
settlement Of the Grinneii case by the
aid of his friend Wickes. The settlement
proposed would have been satisfactory
to Weston, but they ..ere not able 70
locate Jarvis
1t viii take the New York bar sore
time to recover from the shock Of find
ing that one of its most respected mem
bers has been for years leading this sort
of Jekyll and Hyde existence And yet
there seems little doubt that for years
Wickes has been leading this life of
conscious fraud-that Jarvis was invent
ed solely to do things that Wickes
dared not dc in his proper person And
through all the letters the Characters
tics of Wickes show through the hand
writing of Jarvis. In the mythical Jar
Wis are apparent the refinement, the Ie-
gal mind the iron purpose dressed IN
the politest verbiage. which have helped
Wickes win his place at the bar. Never
for an instant has the shadowy Jarvis
forgotten the breeding of the material
Wickes.
1t is a curious case and a sad one It
is not to be wondered at that each man
10 whom it was brought regarded his
that those who know. Wickes best, w5o
have known his standing for years anu
thought they knew his character, are
asking one another wOnderlngly Wnetn>
er it is insanity or opium. For that 1t Is

perhaps. Uncle Sam is Ike the avera ge

courts by f. S. Hatch, his former part
