The obstacles encountered in re-
moving Mr.. Knocks accidental dis
qualifications for appointment
might have seriously diminished
the availability of an appointee less
admirably equipped than he is to
discharge the functions of the Sec
retaryship of State. Mr.. Knox's
eminent fitness for the place dis
armed hostile criticism, as did the
general knowledge that he accepted
the post out of a sense of public
duty. He will have the distinc-
ton of serving for at least two
years at a lower salary than any of
his colleagues. His trained abilities
promise a highly satisfactory adj
ministration of the cOuntry's for
eign relations. AS a counsellor on
domestic problems his services will
also be of great value to President
Taft.

The Roosevelt administration has
ended and the Taft administration
has begun. Never before in our
time has the entry Of new Presi-
dent into office marked so slight
break politically between the pre-
sent and the past. In 1885, 1889
and 1898 one party displaced the
other, and the whole aspect of
national politics was altered. When
Grant succeeded Johnson and
Hayes succeeded Grant there were
radical changes of policy. To find
a parallel for the close relationship
in general aims between the out
going and the incoming admins
tratiOns we must go back to Van
Buren, 5 succession to Jackson or to
the transmission of the Presidency
in the Virginia line fIOm Jefferson
to Madison and from Madison to
Monroe. In his inaugural address
the new President made it clear
that he will adhere faithfully to the
task of carrying out the vital poll
Cies of his predecessor which the
country has emphatically approved.
The reforms in legislation intended
to break down monopoly in trans
pOrtatiOn, trade and industry, to
protect individual rights against the
aggressiOns of great combinations
ofcapital and to restore a larger
equality of opportunity will be sup,
plemented, and their full benefits to
the nation will be secured. Work
on the Panama Canal will be
pushed. The administration will
do its utmost to encourage the con-
ServatiOn of our national resources,
to maintain the efficiency of the
army and navy, to minimize race
and other friCtions at home and tc
keep peace with the rest of the
world. The new President enters
Office under the most favorable
conditions. He has the respect and
confidence of the whole country
His experience fits him in an ex
ceptiOnal degree for the work o.
administration. He possesses poise
breadth of view, sanity, charity
and a wholesome sense of humor
He can be firm, as we'll asliust anC
kind. He has himself helped t
break the path which his admins
tration is to follow. We can see nc
emergencies ahead of him for which
he is not fully prepared. His idea,
are high, his capacity is proved
His administration, we confident,
believe, will be fruitful in great anc
honorable achievements, vindicat
ing completely the popular iudg
ment which decreed his election.

Good crossings were never better
needed than now and all citizens
would be glad to see Council restore
all the fag-stone crossings on Com
merce street. The crossings at the
intersection of Union street, the
crossing in front of the Presbyterian
Church, the crossings in front of
the Dick Property and fuckers
Clothing store, and the crossings
on lower Commerce street ought
all to be replaced. The Street
Committee should see to it that this
work is done as soon as the frost is
out of the ground. If we cant
have clean streets, we can have
clean crossings.
