PRATTLlNo
Cabinet Members Are Ordered 10 Re-
frain from Babbling in
Future.

The gag put in the mouths of the
members of the cabinet by President
Roosevelt was, no doubt. rendered
necessary by the prattling of Secre-
tary Shaw, Metcalf and Wilson, and
perhaps another. 1t could hardly have
been aimed at Secretaries Taft, Root.
Cortelyou or Moody, for they are all
known to be fully in accord with the
policies of the president and discreet
in what information they impart to
the newspapers. The extraordinary
statement in the communication to the
members of the cabinet a
at is to be hoped that in observance
oil this request, which places each
member of the cabinet under the SOL
emn moral obligation not TO discuss
proceedings of the meetings Of the
cabinet, no one will in a moment OF
weakness, or of good nature, give to a
special correspondent whom he may
especially like, or for whom he feels
sorry, a statement of anything that has
happened in cabinet meetings. Such a
course would make it necessary to go
back to the old practice of giving out
a resume of what has been done by the
cabinet, which is undesirable. Mem
hers of the cabinet will also please re-
frain from discussing policies, either
Of their own or those of the admins
tration."
Who the leaky members of the cabi-
net are is not stated, but the fact that
members are under obligations to GER
tain newspaper correspondents who
they Especially like"-or fear-or for
whom che feels sorry" "in a moment
OF weakness" shows that at least n
member of the cabinet is not fit for mis-
POSITION. The further request of the
president that his official household re-
frain from discussing politics either Of
their own, or those of the administra-
ton, is certainly an extraordinary re-
quest and should at once bring the
resignation of those who have been
guilty of these indiscretions.
The result of this gag rule will pc
that correspondents will have to guess

"Oh," said the friend who answered

You might call it an accidental we'd
ding, due to propinquity, but it has not

in contrast. Belle adores Hugh and
looks up to his superior scholarship
with the proper degree of admiration.
Most men appreciate homage. AS for
Hugh, though Belle is shallow, he has
never found it out. He will read a

like a modern Madonna, really consid-
ering the style of her next gown, but
%outwardly listening to her good mans
deep voice as it goes droning along the
resonant periods. She does not I'M
derstand much of it, but she makes
him comfortable, and a good deal OF
married happiness is built upon a foun-
dation of domestic comfort and mutual
alteration.
A little romance may be lent to the
most prosaic day if we are ready to
find pleasure in agreeable accidents.
For instance, on the veranda OF an inn
at a resort which is patronized all the
year round, alike in winter as in sum-
mer, one may meet an old gentleman
or an old lady whose memory is a
treasure house of incidents and anec-
dotes of a by-gone day. Interesting as
younger people are, they cannot bear
comparison with delightful old people
who have lived in the midst of things
through their busy years, and are con.
tented to sit on the edge of things II
the Indian summer of their lives. Ac
cidentally the lady who is spending
few weeks for her health in a place
like this drops into conversation will
the old stager, who is postmaster o,
mistress of charming gossip, and find
the idle days greatly enriched by tn
chance acquaintance.
Accidents of this kind are commol
enough, but should never be taken TO
granted. They drift into our days Xix
extra sunbeams and should be re
ceived with thankfulness. The hap
piest people are those who begin eacI
morning with the expectation tina
some accidental JOY will overtake ther
before night.

THE RAILROAD LOBBYISTS.
plundering of the People Arranged
For Under the Guise
of Law.

In the exposure of the corruption OF
legislatures by the life insurance ON
NAMES, there is evidence of the supe-
rior organization of the railroads ZOE
that iniquitious purpose. In the Ne
braska legislature | could not win out
against the railroads" declared w. +.
Thummel, the insurance lobbyist, IN
giving his evidence before the commit
tee of the New York Legislature. Mr..
Thummel explained to his 1nquisltors
that the bill provided for a law that
would lower the taxation of railroad
property while increasing the taxation
on all other property. That bill was
denounced by. the democrats when it
was before the Legislature. Honest
men told this plain truth two years
ago." says the Nebraska Independent,
"and now it is being told by insurance
lobbyists. But the people did not need
to wait until thieves fell out to be-
lieve the truth. The operation Of the
law has at length convinced them that
the bill was introduced as the result
of a railroad conspiracy. More than
that, it wal an act of revenge. 1t will
be recalled that prior to the passage
of the bill there had been much agi-
tation to secure just taxation of rail-
way property and various laws, were
suggested. This so angered the rail-
way attorneys that they decided not
only to defeat all good revenue bills,
but to foist upon the people a law that
would add e~xtortionate taxation to ex-
t~ortionate railway tariffs. They suc-
ceeded in their purpose and now, as
they loll back in their leather chairs,
these same railway attorneys shake
with laughter while they recount the
clever trick they played upon the peo-
pie"
Doubtless the legislatures of other
states were invaded by these railroad
lobbyists and the plundering of the
people arranged for under the guise OF
law.
