INDUS RIAL.
The Washington herald. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1906-1939, 1908-01-05
The Cabinet in Politics.

We must confess to a feeling Of some
surprise in noticing the Geographic re-
port that Mr.. James r. Garfield, the Sec
rotary of the Interior. "and a close friend
Of Secretary Taft" was elected tenn
porary chairman of the Ohio Republican
State central committee at the meeting
OF that organization in Columbus last
Thursday.
There Is nothing to be said against Sec
rotary Garfield. He is a young man of
considerable promise, and there is every
reason TO believe that he is conducting
the affairs of the Interior Depart
ment in an able and efficient man
ner. It is, however a matter of some
moment TO witness a Cabinet officer en-
tering upon political work in such con
spicuous manner We do not recall a
similar instance in recent years. Indeed.
the trend of public opinion has of late
been decidedly in opposition TO the active
participation of Cabinet officers in DO
litical matters More than one Cabinet
officer has, in fact, been compelled to
choose between his Identification with
practical politics and his official po-
siti0n, and in response TO public senti-
ment has Telinquished his office. If,
however, we are to return to the old
order Of things. and Cabinet officers are
TO lend the influence of their high place
TO the furtheTance Of individual ambi-
tons. it is worth while 20 have such pro
eeedings occur with a full understanding
OF their significance.
As matter of fact. we hope that this
will be the last time President Roosevelt
or any other President viii allow his
Cabinet officers to participate in political
manipulations. 1t is perhaps right and
proper that they should make public
speeches, because they are. in some de
gree, the mouthpieces of the administra-
ton with which they are identified, and
no one is better qualified to explain and
defend the policies in which they sup
port the Chief Executive. Beyond this.
however, they should not go.

TRIBUTE TO DR.. STAFFORD.
Baltimore Feels the Loss of the
Talented EccIesiHstic.

tHtfnAfW tafEAEHANHtAfa
From the Baltimore Sun.
The untimely death Of Rev. .. J. Stat
ford. D. D. a priest Of the Catholic
Church and pastor Of ST Patrick's
Church in Washington will cause gen
eral and sincere regret More than this
il will cause grief in many homes. Few
men have enjoyed to a greater degree the
love Of their people and few have been
gifted more literally by nature with those
qualities which command affection. re-
spect and admiration. His influence and
his friendships were not confined T. his
own church. but extended wherever he
was known lie was an orator and a
scholar. As q lecturer he had few SUI
periors He made study Of Shakespeare
and delivered lectures on some OF the
Shakespearan plays which were most in
structive and altogether delightful. Pres
ident Mckinley said Of him that he did
not know which to admire most, the
mans head or his heart. His intelleetu-
alitv and his magnetism. his splendid
power of expression. his boundless sym
pathy-aIl drew men 10 him. In his par
ish work he was most successful. In
Baltimore where his pastoral work eX-
tended over q period of three years, he
had hosts of friends. They viii join in
the lamentaton over his death, which
came in the high noon of his usefulness
and Of his intellectual vgor. The death
of DR.. Stafford is a loss to his church, to
his community, and to other communi-
ties which no one can estimate.
