NEW CABINET
At WASHINGTON
GENERAL SHIFT IN AMERICAN
MINISTRY.
TWO NEW APPOINTMENTS
Ambassador Meyer Will Become post
master General and oscar S.
Straus Selected for Head of De-
partment of Commerce and Labor
Shaw and Moody &c Quit.

Washington, Oct. 24-The following
statement regarding the prospective
changes in President Roosevelt's cab
met was made public at the white
house yesterday:
On the retirement of Secretary Shaw
and Attorney General Moody from the
cabinet the following changes viii be
made:
Secretary Of the treasury-George
B. Cortelyou,
Postmaster general--George Won
Meyer.
Attorney general-charies J. Bona
parte.
Secretary CT the navy-victor H.
Metcalf
Secretary of commerce and labor
Oscar S. Stratus.
The general understanding for some
time has been that Moody viii retire
| on the first Of January and Shaw fol.
low him on March L. On the first
of the year, therefore, Bonaparte, now
! secretary of the navy, will succeed
Moody as attorney general, and he
will in turn be succeeded by Metcalf,
secretary of commerce and labor, the
latter's place being filled by Straus.
Cortelyou, now postmaster general,
will take Shaw's place on the fourth
of March, at which time Meyer is TO
become postmaster general.
Announcement Follows Meeting.
The announcement of the prospect
i've changes in the cabinet was made
following a protracted cabinet meet
ing earlier in the day. at which It
is understood that the whole matter
| Nas considered fully. The changes
Vernon County censor. [volume] (Viroqua, Wis.) 1865-1955, 1906-10-31

contemplate the introduction of two
new men in the cabinet, Meyer and
Straus.
The fact that Meyer was to have a
place in the cabinet has been known
for some time, but the name of Straus
has been mentioned only Incl ientally
If at all, in connection with the circle
of the presidents advisors. The trans
fers of Cortelyou, Bcnaparte and Met
calf have been generally accepted as
among the probabilities II some time,
although it has been known that both
Bonaparte and Metcalf we're for a
time loath to leave their present posi-
tons because they had become so
fully identified with the work of their
respective departments.
Mr. Meyer is ambassador to Russia,
to which place he was appointed
March 6. 1905, having been promoted
to that Office following his service as
ambassador to Italy from 1900 to
1905. He is a native of Massachu-
sets and has been well known as q
business man.
First Hebrew Cabinet Member.
The appointment of Straus caused
considerable surprise, as it will be
the first case where a citizen of the
Hebrew faith has been made a mem
Der of the presidents cabinet. He
was born December 8, 1850, and is
well known as merchant, diplomat
and author. He represented the
United States as minister to Turkey
on two different occasions and was
appointed by President Roosevelt 70
fill the vacancy caused by the death
af ex-President Harrison as a mem
Der of the permanent court OF arbi-
tration at The Hague.

"Well, the old farm has been in the
PIympton family more than ninety
years, and they worked it for all there
was in 1t. Old Eben Plympton put a
mortgage on it and handed it down to
his son Silas. And Silas died and left
the mortgage to his widow. The wild
DIV got the note renewed from time to
time and struggled along year after
year. Her son Jack ran away from
home when he was 16 and then the
widow struggled along alone. Finally
the holder of the mortgage wouldn't
renew again. But the widow had no
money, and finally the day the note
fell due came around. Then what
do YOU suppose h~appened?"
1.-THE widows son came home, OF
course, and paid off the debt"
mo, he didn't. The holder OF the
mortgage came round and asked for
his money. The widow sighed and
said: You'll have to take the farm
The man s%huddered. He knew the
farm. No, you don't! he yelled. I'd
sooner burn the blamed mortgage than
take the measley old farm for a gift,
By gum!'"
"Did he burn it?"
HE did."-Chicago News.
