Efforts are being and will continue
to be made to create friction IN the
Presidents cabinet by those who are
opposed to his policies and to the
nomination of Secretary Taft for Pres
ldent, OF course the fact that the
President has found it necessary to
suggest to the Postmaster General
the advisability of his exercising a
more immediate supervision over the
postoffice appointment heretofore en-
trusted to the First Assistant Post
master General, Frank HI. Hitchcock,
will be made much of. The fact is,
however, that the Presidents course
is not blow at the presidential boom
of Secretary CortelYou. Mr.. Roosevelt
has takeDsthe entirely commendahie
ground that it would be improper for
him to use the federal patronage to
promote Mr.. Taft's political interest,
much as he desires Mr.. Taft's polite
al interests, much as he desires Mr.,
Taft's nomination, and he is therefore
entirely consistent in his determina-
ton that the federal patronage shall
not be used to promote the political
interests of Mr.. Cortelyou. The Pres
ident's course is not blow at Cortel-
you but step made necessary by
the extraordinary indiscretion of his
lieutenant, Hitchcock.

With hearty goodbye and good
luck" from the President of the United
States, the most magnificent armada
ever assembled under the American
Flag, sixteen powerful battleships,
has at last set sail for the Pacific ocean
on a cruise not only unique in the an
nails of American history, but one that
has set all the world to talking. The
most striking consequence of the de-
liberations at The Hague has been
that, with the sole exception of France,
every great power has forthwith set
to work to make formidable increase
of navel strength, and President
Roosevelt deserves the affection and
loyalty of the American people alone
for his clear acumen in appreciating
the necessity of the United States be-
coming a leading naval power made
imperative by the new conditions on
the Pacific Ocean.

1t is claimed on the highest author
ity that no effort will be mabe by the
present Congress to adopt legislation
to remedy the present financial condi
ton. An opportunity will be given to
men high in the financial world to ap-
pear before the Committee on Curren-
cy and Banking to present their veiws
on any proposed measure and it is the
hope of the members of the committee
that the finances of the country will
so have adjusted themselves by that
time that there will be no necessity
for legislation looking to the correct
ion of present conditions. Undoubt-
edly the present disturbed condition
may be expected to remedy itself with
in a reasonable time, but it is for Con-
gress to leglslate away the likelihood
or the possibility of such occurrences
in the future.

If you knew you had just twenty
four hours to live, what would you do? ?
This is essentially the plot in Howard
Halls new play of modern times,
"The Fatal Flower, which will be
seen here for the first time at the Ly-
ceum on Thursday afternoon, Jan. 2.
to close the week. Mr. William Wal
colt, prominent actor recently from
the Belasco'forces will be seen in the
leading role as Gordon Hale, who by
virtue OF having inhaled the poison
from the fatal flower, has but twenty
four hour to live, One can easily i'm
aglne the intense dramatic situations,
the stirring action and the fervid in
terest almost amounting to suspense,
that is wrought out around this novel
theme by one of Mr.. Halls graphic
styles. Certainly we can realize the
dramatic possibilities of such a plot,
and as attested by the press and pub
lie no author could possibly handle it
more capably. Mr.. Walcott is ably
supported by Miss Florence Rossland,
and as capable company as will be
seen here this season.

| what may be termed his last sermon
| as rector of St. Johns Episcopal
church Oh Sunday morning last and
| there were present besides members
| of the parish, several friends of the
venerable clergyman from other
churches in the city.
DR.. Carmichael, who has been rec
tor of st. Johns for more than twen-
ty-five years, some weeks ago, due to
physical inability to attend to the
needs of the parish, rendered his re-
signation to the vestry and it was re-
luctantly accepted. He was however
Immediately made rector emeritus and
the church will still have the benefit
of his counsel and godly wisdom.
In succession to DR.. Carmichael the
vestry called Rev. w. E. Cox of Green
vile, a young clergyman Of ability
and power, and he accepted the call
and will arrive in the city this week
in time to conduct morning and after
noon services on Sunday next

the rectory, situated Immediately to
the rear Of the church and for the
present DR.. and Mrs Carmichael are
boarding at Mrs. Dunn's on Seventh

The giving, up of the active minis
try of DR.. Carmichael is more than
passing interest in this city where
his influence has been wonderfully
felt during his life here in all matters
that tended TO the elevation and up
building Of the city and for it's moral
development Especially has his in
fuence been felt wherever there was
trouble or the need for active sympa-
thy and his work and services can best
be valued by the resulting effect on
the lives Of those with whom he has
come in contact.
