HITCHCOCK IN CABINET
REPUBLICAN CHAIRMAN ACCEPTS POSITION OF POSTMASTER
 GENERAL.
REASONS FOR FIXING STATUS
Became Familiar With Political Cues tions Likely to Arise During Early Part of the New
 Administration.

Hot Springs, Va, Nov 2S.-Frank H. Hitchcock has been offered and has accepted the position of postmaster general in the Taft cabinet that is to be.
 The official announcement doubtless will not be made until MT. Taft has completed his cabinet. Because of this no expression regarding the selection of Nr. Hitchcock was obtalnable for publication from either My Taft or the Republican national chai! man. There were reasons, it was pClnted out, why it was eXpedient that MT. Hitchcock s status should be fixed As chairman of the Republican national committee he became more familiar than any other person with the political phase of questions likely to arise at the be- ginning of the Taft administration and the knowledge he gained regarding the personell of the party will be great service to Mr. Taft.
 Besides these reasons the national chairman admittedly possesses a com prehensiye as well as a technical knowledge of postal affairs, gained by a protracted experience as first as sistant and acting postmaster general. Mir Hitchcock accompanied by Charlees H Boynton of New York. left here Friday night for Washington, where Saturday night he will be the guest of honor at a dinner given by the executive and advisory committees of the national committee. He then will visit headquarters in New York

 The body of the murdered painter was disinterred Saturday and removed to ,he morgue but the surgeons found that it was in such a state of decom- position as to make 1t an impossibility to perform a complete autopsy.

No labor movement of modern times is more needed or likely to do moro good than the organization of wage. earning women. The woman has a harder time than the man in a single. handed fight to earn a respectable liv- ing and maintain herself in decent surroundings. Last month simul- taneous conferences of the Women's Trade Union League were held in Boston. New York and Chicago Women united in cause are almost irresistible, and this is a cause which can have few enemies.

David Lubin, formerly Of California. has finally won complete success for his long-cherished plan to aid agricul. ture in a worldwide way. After ap. pealing in vain to his own government to encourage agriculture by bounties on leading agricultural staples. instead of continuing hopeless struggle he changed his base of operations in be. half of agricultural interests and ap- pealed to the king of Italy with so much persuasiveness that his recon. mendations were adopted by that monarch much as he made them. The result is the endowment and perma. nent establishment at Rome of the International Institute of Agriculture. The test of it's value is shortly to be made Within a month delegates from 46 nations will meet al the first session of the general assembly of the institute, and working plans will be considered and probably adopted

College Men.

Neither in scholarship nor ill fitness for the business of life does the prod uct of the great colleges of the pres ent day compare with the graduates a generation ago. Then, it is true, the boy with the diploma was often too stuffed with Latin and Greek and phil osophy to be much of a practical man, now he knows a little about manners, more about clothes, something about "grinds, peaches and ''profs, but the sumum bonum of his knowledge relates to drop kicks and line bucking. The old type was better, says the Washington Post. because, though i'm practical he had trained mind and was inured to discipline whereas the new product has gotten most of his training in the ways of q good time. College life is, or should be, period of training which prepares the youth for the business of a broader life. It will not do to cultivate exclusively the superfcialities. which the atmosphere at most of the larger universities Is doing. One of the reasons why men who come up from rude walks of life without the benefits of education ire quently outstrip the college graduates is because such men have trained their powers through hard work, while the college man has vitiated his tai. ents through overmuch play.
