Should the Vice President
Step Down to the Cabinet?
By United states Senator BACON Of Georgia.


Mr. Bryan should be elected and should invite the vice pre
dent to sit member of the cabinet the fact would be
accomplished the latter accepted the invitation NO LEGIS
LATION WOULD BE REQUIRED In fact no legisla-
ton could require the president receive the vice president
member of his cabinet and legislation could compel the pres
dent member of the cabinet could only be
pshed by the voluntary action Of both the president and the vice
president
The president invite the vice president sit at his council
board he wishes to and the vice president could accept
decline at will 1t scarcely possible however, that such invitation
will be extended vice president that any vice president
would accept the invitation if rendered
1T WOULD BE NOT ONLY A STEP DOWN BUT MANY
STEPS DOWN, for vice president become member Of the
presidents cabinet From the PRESIDENT constitutional officer
the president Of the and standing in succession the
president of the United States is far cry in cabinet
the members of which, such have literally power that
approved by the president who furthermore any moment
remove any Of them upon any whim caprice
THINK IT UNFORTUNATE THAT UNDER OUR SYSTEM THE
CABINET HAS NOT GREATER AND THE PRESIDENT LESS
BUT THE FACT is As HAVE STATED IT.
Aside from the consideration mentioned the constitutional duties
OF the vice president presiding the senate engong during
the sessions of congress- and he would have time attend cabinet
meetings attend other duties devovng upon cabinet officers

BUSINESS is BUSINESS"

Astoria wants, and gravely needs
a business administration of her af
fairs. She has had all she requires
for the present at least, of experimen,
tai administration, especially in the
matter of street improvements, and
indeed far more than she realizes, for
the end of that issue is still remote
and dubious. She needs a police de-
partment with plenty of stiff and
aggressive vertebrae behind it: she
needs to have her water department
let absolutely alone in the pursuit Of
its present safe and non-partisan work
and ends; her fire department is in
excellent hands, and condition, and
must not be tampered with; her f.
nances require new and conservative
handling that shall impose something
beside the bi-annual permission of the
Legislature to advance her public debt
limit to meet the excesses Of the in
terim since its last concession; she
needs business treatment; not to cure
any desperate or radical ills or evils,
but to save her from that limit, to-
ward which she is drifting rapidly.
She is in no condition for reckless ex-
penditures.
All this outside of politics!. Politics
has no saving tendencies that we
know Of; on the contrary it is direct
and undertaking path to graft and 9th
er compromising expedients.
What it wanted is a course of real
business direction; sensible and
responsible oversight of public men
and affairs, by those trained to honest
and conservative methods; who have
proven their judgment by private and
personal achievement; and who have
the interests of the community at
heart, without the impediments Of
selfish pursuit, correlated ties and di-
vided duties. She has gone the length
of political direction; has had all she
wants of it; and is ready for plain,
practical people and courses in the
handling OF her revenues and rights;
and 1t does not matter very much who
the men shall be to give her these
things, nor what party any Of them
stand for in general terms: So long;
as the city has the benefit Of their
good sense and cleanly methods, she
can afford to ignore local politics
within her administrative area and in
auence; that can be exerted on other
ideals and people.
Business is business" municipality,
as we'll as commercially.

ABATE THE IMPROVEMENTS.

Now that the two greatest and cost
liest of Astoria's street improvement
projects have resulted in practical in
utility and engendered certain ground
for complaint and radical action at
law, it were we'll to abate the range
of such work and conhne it to the
simpler orbit of essential repair and
minor development; holding it down
to the few blocks at time, and doing
even that with closer supervision as
to materials, plans, and character of
work.
We do not, as rule, advise retroac-
tive policies in public affairs; but when
progress becomes mis- directed and
unproductive of desired results, we
have no hesitancy in counselling mo-
deration, and even cessation, in order
that the city may be spared the ulti-
ate Of failure and the unacceptable
burden of fruitless costs.
1t is course of procedure that can
be taken up at any time, when the
rules and plans and needs are better
devised and the chances for actual and
profitable issues are more sure and
certain than they seem to be at pre-
sent. Build and improve steadily just
where these things are plainly needed,
and let the greater work await the
more propitious moment and wiser
planning so indispensable to their real
fruition

Being amenahle to kindness and con.

him to spend the best years Of his lie
