A Few Words About
The Taft Cabinet.

The New Orleans Daily States calls
attention to a conclusion, reached by
tho Hartford, Connecticut, Times-One
stated with much apparent ingenu-

best lawyers he could find to serve
in his cabinet" remarks that faithful
ally of the Nutmeg State the pres
identeleet shows his inclination to re-
" upon men of his profession. Five
OF the nine (members of the new cab
ipeD may be properly described as
having had very close relations with
porationS-Knox, Dickinson, Wick
ersham, Meyer and NageI. This does
not indicate that the corporate inter
ests of the country need to feel any
apprehension of unfair treatment from
TIE new administration.
Well, we should say not. When
DickinsOn's appointment was an
noUnced, accompanied by the sooth-
ing assurance that he belonged to the
democratic persuasion but had thrice
refused to support mis- party ticket,
The Journal called especial attention
to the attempted hUmBugging of the
people. Dickinson is a railroad at
toTney, employed by the Illinois Cen
trail, and his coadjutors named by the
Times are almost equally tainted by
close propinQuity TO corporate in
fiuences. Of course this need not,
necessarily, influence these gentle
TTas in hnfF Of
but ''as the twig is bent the tree in
cl.nes,' and the human mind once put
aSkew becomes a difficult problem for
its pOssessOr to reframe as a rectiliR-
ear figure or fgurer.
The States is, perhaps, too pessi-
mistic in the view it takes of the fu-
ture. The vista it paints is by no
means a pleasing one-quite dark, in
truth, and one will do we'll to keep
his eyes turned the other way until
a little more light is thrown upon the
perspective. Says our New Orleans
contemporary:
OF course the corporate interests
do not feel any apprehension of hos
tile treatment at the hands of tle
ASN duLululblEatiDus because they
know very We'll that they are going to
get what they want and what they
have paid for with campaign contri-
buttons. Knox will have seat at the
council board to look after the inter-
estS OF his friends of the steel trust.
Dickinson Will see that nothing hap
pens to the railroads and Wicker
sham, Meyer and Nagel will also rep
resent other corporations at court.
| Their clients have nothing TO fear
/ from the Taft administration and that
| fact Will soon be manifest to all the
people.
The Journal is not prepared to al
| together share so forlorn a view. 1t

Talent Locked Up
In Many Prisons.

I'm prison camp at Douglas,
Georgia" says the Jacksonville Me-
trOpolis, is a convict string band of
six pieces-vioIin, flute, accordion,
mandolin, guitar, banjo and the bass
rendered by blowing in a jug. This
prison orchestra would, it is said, by
the perfect music and harmony, be a
credit to any playhouse and u money
maker, were it possible to secure it
for a season. There is valuable talent
locked up in many prisons of this
country"
And this is not only true; it is most
depIoFable. The talent should never
be locked up" even though its pos
SCISSOR is held IN duTance vile. It
should. on the contrary, be given the
amplest encouragement for its de-
velopment. There is no art mere
civilizing, more soothing, more potent
as a factor in reformation than music.
Prisoners who possess the talent to
express the harmony that is within
them should be furnished opportunity
and means to do so, and those who
lack the ability should be encouraged
to acquire III For crime is discord.
1t is rebellion against the laws of God
and man. Whereas music is har-
mony, and life passed largely under
its influence will be guided to higher
conception Of duty and orderly ODE
dience to social and religious rules.
Though We impTison the bodies of
malefactors, let us not imprison their
souls. Give their higher spiritual
nature an opportunity to grow, to real
ize that
Stone walls do not a prison make
Nor iron bars a chain"
For somewhere within eacn social
outcast, there is the spark divine, and
woe be to those who strive to extin-
guish il.

IL is said by the best physicians that
kissing spreads disease, and we are
opposed TO il, unless we knew more
about it than We do.
Learn, brother, learn. You will sing
a different tune. As to the little
pecks which girls testow on one an
other they are but perfunctoTy offer
ings on the shrine Of friendship. And
the reason the girls turn about, as
suggested, and abuse each other i'm
mediately thereafter is due TO the
feeling of disappointment the utter
inadequacy of that mechanical sort of
oscillation to give satisfaction to the
soul. But, o, think or winged Cupid
showering kisses upon the rosy lips
of the slUmbeTing Psyche or the glo-
rious Diana pouring out the great
love OF a Goddess in rapturous en-
Placements upon Endymion's brow!
That's the kind that make fellow
feel like tacklinS a whole herd of wild
buhaloes just in order TO give fit ex-
preston to his peRt up feelings.
There's no hypocrisy about that
sort of thing. There's no harsh cTItI-
cism by kisser or kissee. It's just Il
small edition of Paradise-that's what
it is. And the dTy-as- dust, nissan
thTopic. bald-headed, spindle shanked
old scientist who comes shopping
around and making insinuatiOns that
there are dangerous germs with that
blissful Eden, ought to be tarred and
feathered and consigned to the black
hole of Calcutta. You've made a great
mistake, brother of Slocomb. But it
comes from ignorance. Be a man.
Pluck up courage. Seize the first OPP
poTtunity and the first willing maiden.
Take lessons at Cdpid's business col

The particulars related by this rep

similar to hundreds of others in this

pie, all anxious to tell about the bene-
fits received from the use of Doan's
Kidney Pills, the greatest skeptic in
Pensacola must be convinced. Read
the following;
Mrs. Gus Bowner. APP Z. Govern
ment St, Pensacola. Fla says: I
had such severe pains in the small of
my back that l could not walk across
the floor Doan's Kidney Pills were
at last brought TO nv attention and
procuring a box at the CRYSTAL Phar-
macy, I began their use. Tae first
night I took them. I was able to OBJ
tain sound, refreshing sleep and il
greatly surprised me, as ! did not be-
heve any remedy could bring about
such a change, in a short time. A
short continuation of their use cured
me and TO say that I endorse Doan's
Kidney Pills expresses my opinion of
them mildly. / believe that If all

Pompey's Pillar Damaged.

A great misfortune has befallen
one of the few remaining relics Of
Alexandria's former greatness. A
large portion of the monument known
as Pompey's Pillar fell, and in its de-
scent greatly damaged tie pedestal.
Pompey's Pillar is the most i'm.
portant relic of antiquity in Alexan-
dria. 1t is made of red granite from
Assouan. The foundation stones
were taken from adjoining ancient
buildings, n of them bearing the
name and figure of Sethos l., of the
nineteenth dynasty, who reigned 1900
B. G. The column was over 100 feet
high and was eight feet wide at the
summit. The pillar was erected A.
D. 800 by the Project Pompey as a
landmark to mariners, and later on
a statue of the Emperor Diocletian
was placed on it by the Project Pc.
sidius. At first it was thought to
mark the burial place of the great
Pompey. The fall of the masonry
made a tremendous noise, and greatly
%perturbed the people in Alexandria.
