there may be three new American
Cardinals, one in South America,
where most of the republics demand
the same privilege as recently was
granted to Brazil; one in Canada,
which since the death of Cardinal
Tascherau has been without a repre-
sentative in the Sacred College, and
one in the United States. which in the
opinion of the Vatican authorities de-
serves great consideration because of
the progress the Church has made
there.

The most interesting and encour-
aging fact In connection with the sur-
ond Thaw trial is that Justice V. J.
Bowling Of the supreme court before
whom the case will be heard, has is
sued an order that will find universal
approval among all lovers of deccncy
and morality. says the Duluth Herald.
He has ruled that no woman other
than members Of the immediate fam
lily of the defendant shall be permitted
to attend the hearing. At the first
trial the courtroom became a show
place. and hundreds of sensation
seeking females crowded their way in
to listen greedily to the unspeakable
details. or course no true woman
needs an order OF the court to pre-
vent her from SO demeaning herself,
but in the interests of public dccencv
1t was entirely proper that the judge
should see to it that those who arc
not worthy the name of woman should
be barred from the courtroom.

THE COUNTRY NEWSPAPER.

Inc evidence in the Walsh trial in
Chicago disclosed the fact, already
known to many, that the Chicago
Chronicle had for many years before
it suspended publication been run at
Il loss. The Chronicle claimed to be
a Democratic paper in name. 1t OPP
posed everything that was Democratic
i'll principle. 1t existed principally for
the purpose of abusing Mr.. Bryan. Mr.
Walsh spent a. great deal OF the money
that he is accused of embezzling in
support of that paper. 1t is to the
credit of the people Of Chicago and
the surrounding country that they did
not allow themselves to be deceived
by the efforts of this mercenary paper.
Papers whose policies are dictated
by the counting room; whose editorial
columns must rhyme in harmony with
the song of those who purchase it's adj
vertising columns, no longer have any
part in making or leading public opin-
ion. so thoroughly arc modern daily
newspapers a matter Of business that
it is indeed strange that any space is
wasted on editorial matter The edi-
torial page, as it exists today in most
of the daily newspapers, is but a con-
cession to a passing generation. There
was a time when the editorial page
characterized the daily newspaper. At
that time the editor was the force be-
hind the paper Today the business
manager has taken his place. The
character of tho newspaper depends
wholly upon the business manager.
1t is not strange in this situation
that what appears upon the editorial
page has little or no influence upon
the reading public. A daily newspa-
per can no longer nominate or elect
candidates to office. They can adver-
tise candidates and thus direct public
attention to them, but an expressed
preference for candidate is more
likely to injure the man than to help
him. So long as newspaper efforts
arc confined to advertising. they are
a success, but when the modern news
paper attempts to lead public opinion
it is a failure.
There is class of newspapers which
still fulfill the former function of the
press They are the humble country
wecklies. They have much more to
do in formulating public opinion than
tho great metropolitan newspapers,
whose space is sold at so much line.
The reason Is plain. The country
newspaper has not been commercial
lied to such an extent that the advcr-
tiscrs are permitted to wrts the edi-
torials. The country editor is known
in his community The opinions ex-
pressed in his newspaper arc his own
opinions. The editor is generally a
man of standing and influence and his
views upon public men and questions
have weight with his readers. Poll
ticians have learned the influence of
tho country newspaper.

am and John Sherman The list of
unsuccessful secretaries of state is
longer than the successful list
No secretary of the treasury ever
became president, and it is not likely
that either Leslie mi. Shaw or George
B. Cortelyoli wns break that record.
1t is not BECAUSE no secretary of the
treasury ever sought to be president
that the record is unbroken. Salmon
P. Chase, who was Lincoln's secretary
OF the treasury, had an overweening
ambition to be president, and John
Sherman was several times candi-
date for the nomination., but failed
each time.
OF secretaries of war, only one has
ever been president. James Monroe
was for a short time in Madison's ad-
ministration secretary of war His
principal service in the cabinet was
as secretary of state William II. Taft
cannot find a. great deal of comfort in
precedent. Some strong men have
been secretary of war. Among them,
John Marshall, William H. Crawford,
Lewis Cass, Jefferson Davis and Ed
win NJ. Stanton, the strongest man in
Lincoln's administration. None of
them ever became president.
1t James r. Garfield, secretary of
tho interior, has any fond hope that
the lightning may strike him, as it did
his father, he will not find any en-
couragement in the list of former Sec
retaries of tho interior He can hope
for more from the political situation
than from his cabinet position. In
1880 his father went to the Chicago
convention and made a nominating
speech for John Sherman of Ohio
Grant, Blaine and Sherman were the
principal candidates, Grant. and Blaine
having almost equal strength and
Sherman holding the balance of power
Neither of the two leading candidates
could secure the necessary number Of
votes. and neither would throw his
strength to Sherman. The situation
resulted on the Both ballot in the nom
ination of James A. Garfield.
If the Republican convention in Chi
cago next summer should result in a
deadlock between Secretary Taft and
Governor Hughes, or some other op-
posing candidate, the present secre-
tary of the interior would be in much
the same position as his father was %
years ago. -.4bf
II precedent has any reason behind
it Secretary Taft is at a disadvan-
tage through his cabinet position. He
will reap the advantage of the Presi-
dents friendship. but he will also reap
the disadvantage of the opposition to
the President. The President NAV not
be able to rally his friends to the sup
port of Taft. while the very fact that
Taft is in the cabinet will be sufficient
to enlist the opposition of the Presi-
dents enemies. Taft may succeed in
obtaining the nomination. If he does
he will not break the record, for since
the War. James G. Blaine has been
nominated, but if Taft succeeds in OBJ
tanning the nomination and also the
election, he will be the first cabinet
officer since James Buchanan to sue
coed to the presidency.
