THE retirement tomorrow OF Secretary
of War TAFT will leave but two men IN
Mr.. Roosevelt's cabinet who were there
when he succeeded to the presidency
upon the death of President Mckinley.
These are Secretary of State Root and
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson. Mr..
Root was secretary of war when MT.
Roosevelt became president, in Septem-
Der, 1901. He shortly sfterward retired
from the cabinet, bat was persuaded to
Ie-enter it upon the death of Secretary Of
State Hay. There have been more
changes and shifts in President Roose-
yslt's cabinet than in that of any OF his
predecessors. He has had two secre-
taries of state, Hay and Root. He hi s
had three secretaries of the treasury,
Gage. Shaw and CortelyOu. With the
succession of Luke E. Wright he will
hsd three secretaries of war, Root, Taft
aud Wright He has had three attorney
generals, Knox, Moody and Bonapsrte
five postmaster generals, Smith, Payne,
WYnne, OoltelyOu and Meyer; FIVE secre-
taries of the navy, Long, Moody, Nor
ION, Bonspsrts and Metcalf. He hft
had two secretaries of the interior,
Hitchcock and Garfield. He has had
one SECRETARY of agriculture, Wilson, and
three secretaries of commerce and labor,
Cortelyou, Metcalf and Straus. The
retirement of Secretary Taft has led Il
some speculation as to how long Mr.
Wilson will continue st the head of the
Department of Agriculture. The chan
ces are that he will continue to serve
through the term of Mr.. Roosevelt, and
should secretary Taft succeed ID the
presidency, it is more than likely thai
Secretary Wilson would like to CONTINUE
in the cabinet. 1t will be twelve years
next March since Wilson became secre-
4ary of sgricu'ture. He is 73 years old,
and acts on the principle that with
officeholdtrs few die and none resign.

THE KINGS BIRTHDAY.

As everybody in England knows,
last Thursday was not King Edward 8
actual birthday. He was born at Buck
iagham Palace Nov. 9, lS4l, but Nc
Vember is an unprOpitions season for
court festivities. After careful oonsidera-
ton the king selected June 25 as bis
official birthday. Perhaps the choice
was influenced by the fact that, on June

Prince CODscrt.

Prohibition In Georgia.


The most notable feature of the
first day of prohibition in Georgia was
tine refusal of Judge w. R. Newman,
I'm the United States circuit court,
at Atlanta, to grant an injunction
pending litigation which would pre-
vent the operation of the prohibition
law. Papers in the case were filed
late Tuesday on behalf of two brew
cries, one in Chattanooga AMI the
other in Cincinnati. Judge Newman
simply filed a memorandum reading
as follows:
After careful consideration an in
junction pendente lite will not be
granted. This being true, it is unnec-
essary to call on the defendants to
show cause"
The lawyers for the plaintiffs said
that the decision of Judge Newman
did not have the effect of throwing
the proceedings out of court, but that
the case would come up in the regular
order of business and that it was eS
pected that it would be ready fog trial
in about two months.
IN the meantime prohibition is in
effect in every district of Georgia
Notwithstanding predictions that
the enforcement of the law on the
first day of the new year, which is a
recognized holiday in all parts of the
state, would bring about disturbances
there was not the slightest disorder
The saloonmen in Atlanta evidently
believed that the legal aspect of the
situation vii not have the effect of
putting them back into business, for
they were busy ripping out fixtures
