TAFT'S new
CABINET
PhiIander c. Knox.


Philander Chase Knox, who will be
Mr.. Taft's Secretary of State, re-en-
tiers the Cabinet after five years in
the United States Senate, to which he
was appointed in June, 1904, to fill
the vacancy caused by the death Of
Matthew M. Quay. Like most of col
leagues in the Cabinet Mr.. Knox is a
lawyer n first came into national
prominence as attorney general in Mr..
McKinley's first cabinet when he sue
~cessfully prosecuted the Northern Sc
curities case. Mr. Knox is ffty-six
years old, having been born in o
vile, Pa, May 6, 1853. After gradu-
ating from Mount Union College at
Alliance Ohio, he began the study of
law in Pittsburg n three years lat
er was admitted to the bar in that
city. When Mr.. Knox was only twen-
ty-four years of age he was appointed
Assistant United States District At
torney for the Western district of
Pennsylvania. After a short term in
this office, however, he resigned n
entered private practice with James
H. Reed, under the firm name of Knox
& Reed. The firm became counsel
for many large interests n it is SAID
that Mr.. Knox has received some of
the largest fees ever paid in this coun
try. During the Homestead riots in
1892 he was counsel for the Carnegie
Steel Co., and directed the legal end
of that famous labor disturbance.
When in 1901 Mr.. Mckinley appoint
ed him encouragement MIR. Knox's
participation in the Homestead at
fair caused some opposition on the
part of the labor organizations to his
confirmation. AS attorney-general
Mr.. Knox not only prosecuted to a
successful issue the governments suit
against the Northern Securities Com
pany, but conducted the cas- against
the so-ca1led Beef Trust with the re-
suit that that combination was dis
solved by the final decree of the Unit
ed States Supreme Court. Mr.. Knox
has been credited also with having
prepared and carried through the Pa
mama Canal purchase in 1908. 1t was
shortly after the conclusion of the
Panama purchase that Mr.. Kno was
appointed to the United States Senate
by Governar Pennypacker to fill the
vacancy caused by the death OF Sena-
tor Quay, INT afterward he was cleo
ted by the Legislature for h full
term expiring in March, 1911.
I. was at Mount Union College that
Major Mckinley first became ac-
quainted with young Knox. Mr.. Nc
Kinley was at that time prosecuting
attorney of Stark County, and the ac-
quaintance begun when they were
both young finally ripened into the
friendship of later years, and culmi-
mated in the Pennsylvanian's entry in
to the second Mckinley Cabinet. 1t
has always beer understood that Pre-
eident Mckinley sought to induce Mr..
Knox to accept the attorney-general-
ship in his first cabinet, but the Of
fer vas declined on the plea of pri-
vate interests. Mr.. Knox Is entitled
to twice write the degree of LID. at
ter his name, both the University of
Pennsylvania and Yale University
having conferred that honor upon
him.

opinion that the characteristic move

about what they see have been saying

cattle. Each lot had seven steers.
Lots 1 and 8 received corn, cot

silage. Lots 4 and 6 received the
same ration except silage. The hogs

a pound of tankage daily per head in
addition to what they could CLEAN.
The first sixty days three hogs were
In each lot; the last fifty-six days four
smaller hogs replaced the first set.
The gain of the hogs receiving tank
age was 1890 pounds; the gain Of the
hogs not receiving tankage was S08, a
difference of 400 pounds. The total
amount of tankage fed was 259.5
pounds. That would cost at $45 ton
$685.. The extra pork, 400 pounds at

dents Portrait Simple Design.
Victor D. Bremen, the New York
sculptor who made the Lincoln CEN
tennial medal, is the designer of the
new one cent piece bearing Lincoln's
portrait. He received word from
Washington recently that his design
had been accepted, with suggestions
by President Roosevelt for several
minor changes in the lettering. Mr.
Bremen said that he considered the
placing of Lincoln's likeness on the
coinage much more symbolic of Ameri-
can ideals than the present design.
The new coppers have the bas-relief
head of Lincoln in profile on the coin
In place of the Indian. The word
Liberty" is to the left of the head,
and to the right is the date "19O9."
On the reverse side at the top is the
motto "E Pluribus Unum," with I'M

the ends justify the means, and he Is
SO constituted that whatever ends he
