President Roosevelt has accustomed the
country 10 surprises in his appointments
to office and his Cabinet selections are
highly characteristic. Ignoring to some
extent both party affiliations and geo
graphical considerations, he has recon
structed his Cabinet with due regard 10

Being responsible to the country for his
conduct Of the executive branch, it is
universally recognized that he should be

and agreeable advisers. who will con-
tribute both to the unity and efficiency

We think the reconstructed Cabinet wiz
meet with very general commentator.
There is ample precedent If il were need

owing at least nominal feaIty to the
principles of the opposition party Such
proved felicitous. Mr. Straus' appoint

the conduct Of large enterprises. and
ought TO prove just the man for the
place.
Full Of encouragement 10 young men

There IS no reason why "A citizen, a
