TWO PROMINENT
REvOLUTION|STS

Government Taking Drastic

BREAKING UP CONSPIRACY
Native Agents Discover Evidence Of
sedltlous Association With Num-

Calcutta, Jan. 1l.-Already the gov
eminent has begun to impose the Ben
gal regulation Ill Of 1918 and under
it eight prominent and influential
Bengalls have been arrested and
placed under personal restraint.
Among these are Krishna Kumar Mi
ira, preacher of the Brahmo Theistic
church and editor of the Sanjibani,
vernacular weekly, and Aswini Kumar
Dutt, who is the most powerful Hindu
leader in Eastern Bengal and the head
of an important college at Barisal.
Meanwhile Gen. Lord Kichenor the
commander of all the troops In India
has ordered a greater movement or
soldiers than seen recently with great
er ostentation displayed in changing
garrisons.
The other day Lord Mimic, the vic
eroy, made a speech to the Talukdars
of Oudh in which he said that he re-

deeds of misguided fanatics should be
allowed to blacken the reputation OF
whole people or to dissipate their
rising hopes. But, at the same time,

degree'the dangers which confront u.s.
We are face to face with conSpir-
acy which, so long as it exists Is a
menace, not only to personal safety,
but to public security and which must

BUILDING THE CABINET
Many Rumors But Not Much Definite
information.

Washington, Jan. 1.-THE refusal |
of Judge Taft TO make public the pur- |
posed members of his cabinet, with |
the exception of Senator Knox and |
Frank H. Hitchcock, has greatly in
cited cabinet gossip here. With no
possibility of an official contradiction
confronting them, would-be cabinet
builders are now free to exercise their
ingenuity and imagination to the full
and without doubt among the many
names which are being brought for
ward are those of at least few sue
cessful aspirants, but it is decidedly
unsafe to attempt to indicate who
they are.
But following In the line Of proba-
bilities certain names by dint of reit-
GRAFTON in connection with cabinet
vacancies without developing denials,
have come to be regarded as feasible,
Such. for instance, is that Of George
w. Wickersham, the New York law
yer, and legal partner of Henry TAFT,
the judges brother.
The fact being conceded that the
| Pacific coast is to be represented in
| the new cabinet causes great weight
to be given to the suggestion that
Richard A. Ballinger is to be the
lucky man. and his name has been
connected with the secretaryship OF
the interior.
Because of the feeling that there
would be Jew in the cabinet Secre-
tary Straus' friends are hopeful Of his
retention as secretary of commerce
and labor, and they point to his record
of accomplishments. But the judge Is
understood to have said that he did
not propose to have regard to any
mans religion or creed In construct
J ing his cabinet. That statement has
gone far toward strengthening the
candidacy of Charles Nagel OF st
, Louis for the secretaryship OF com
: merce and labor.

NOW TO BUSINESS

The Christmas and New Year
holidays have come and gone and
have been thoroughly enjoyed by
everyone able to participate in them
Now we are to get down TO business
and make ready for the coming year
with all its hazards, exactions, re-
sponsibilities and advantages. It has
bright enough look to most OF us;
we have the courage of the hour and
the promise Of that courage; most OF
our doubts are imaginary anyway,
and our chances are fairly equal with
those Of our neighbors; we have our
work cut out for US, and most OF us
realize those things which are to be
corrected, abandoned, simplihed, in
itiated, improved, and qualified.
One year ought to serve another
in good stead when it comes to aid
ing as to advance our interests, and
rectify the mistakes and estimates
and iaches OF the year that is gone.
Astoria is, in many ways, sounder
and safer than she ever was, and our
chief duty is to keep her at this
standard and hold her free from
newer burdens and blunders. Busi-
ness is business, here, as elsewhere,
and there is no lack Of acumen, ex-
ample and experience to guide us all
through the new year safely, happily,
successfully. Go to it!

she ulan, and the measures submitted

The utmost good ohtainable and

treatise On the subject win be found
IN The brilliant address delivered by
Hon. Charles H. Carey, before the
Oregon Bar Association, in Noren-
Der last, At Portland, on this very
subject.
Without deprecating, or bolstering'

that 50 long as they have been adopt

and action that can be bestowed; by
and through them the people are to

ing TO each and all of them as final
and inperious edicts.
The people Of Switzerland have
had hundreds Of years Of experience

and they are employed there to the
utmost of popular security and pro-
Rress. in the maintenance Of the civic
balances; and in time we may gain
The same educational advantage and

to learn the real efficacy of the doc
trine Of popular government; we
think we have attained to it through

have done well, but the burden of &C
