THE MAYORS acABINET. :"

TAT HEN he took the oath of office as May
w or Dr. Spruance remarked that he was
new at the business and this was the fact.
AS the Mayor proceeds with his duties he will
learn great deal. In fact, the Mayor has learn
ed by experience something OF the so-called
Mayors Cabinet The Mayors Cabinet was
BODY of mystery. 1t started with good inten-
tions but its life seems to have been short The
new Mayor was on hand at what was presuma-
bly, to be his FIRST meeting with the cabinet
Only three members, including DR. Spruance,
were present-not a quorum
The cabinet could be of great service in dis
cussnc the affairs of the city. 1t could serve
as an advisory body and its counsel would be OF
great help. For example the cabinet could dis
cuss the question of new city charter, and per
haps offer suggestions that would lead to I'M
proving the city government.
About all that the cabinet has done was to
boost along the scheme of the Delaware water
Company 10 get permission to lay water pipes
in the city Since then there seems 70 have
been little interest in the cabinet, and it IS prac-
ticaly dead. When alive and thrvng-that is'
when it accelerated the Water Company
scheme-t was a mysterious body meeting be-
hind closed doors, arousing curiosity, BUT that
seems to have all passed away. Perhaps II tne
cabinet is to continue it would be better to nave
the meetings in the open
we have no doubt that the new Mayor heart
ilv approves OF the cabinet idea-that rs ne
NAV think that it would afford him an oppcr-
tuntv to keep in touch with the affairs OF the
citv The new Mayor with proper support
could make the cabinet valuable advisory al
;,nct to the citv's municipal machinery. But
without cordial support he might as well
abandon the cabinet idea
The cabinet should not be used as means
OF advancing corporate interests AND we pc
leve that the Mayor, sooner or later, VIII come
IN conflict with those interests. They are al
WAYS on the job, always resouroeful and watch
full One of the hardest tasks that conironts a
man in public Office is how to deal with them
There is always in municipal and State govern
ment conflict between the people and such IN
terests The interests are represented by bright
alert and active men. They employ the pest at.
tornevs. the smoothest takers, the brightest
brains. They make the way Of politician who
does their bidding easy, while the path OF a man
who conseentiousy tries to represent the SEN
timent and the welfare Of community is toe
often difficult one But it is nevertheless the
duty of all public officials not to be subservien'
TO the interests.

A1RsH1p FRENZY AT CAPITAL.

T He weather is warm in the national cap
Il itol, and the tariff debate has been warm
and depressing. But the hottest thing in Wash
ington just now is the throng of patients who
arc suffering with aeroplane fever, the latest
disease
Despite the shrvelling sunshine and choking
dust of the Fort Myer parade ground where
the Wright brothers arc making their flights,
aeroplanitis thrives and increases. Senators who
are we'll known to be as patient and self-con-
tanned as baseball fan with "two out and the
bases full7 forsake the chamber and trudge out
to the unsheltered expanse of field where the
sun beats mercilessly down to see the machine
soar.
Patience is the crowning attribute Of the
aeropanitis patient AS concrete examples,
take Senator Eldns and Senator Tllman whose
enthusiasm is about as well ordered and well
controlled as a fire in a powder factory. They
will wait for an hour nerve wrec1ng, temper
rasping hour-watching Orville Wright chew
a blade of grass with languid interest and when
the machine leaves its rail with a clackng Of
propellers, wave their hats enthusiastically and
shake hands with each other, even if the lun-
berng aeroplane only goes one hundred yards.
And the Wrights are so encouraging TO spec
tators Hours pass and still there is tinkerng
to be done. Just about this time you are think
ing about the dinner that is getting cold, when
at last they start the pesky old engine. They
hoist the weight and Orville climbs into the lit
tie two-by -four-inch seat in the middle OF the
lower plane forward.
You think now you will see the fight in peace,
perhaps. perhaps not. But finally Wilbur takes
his seat in one corner with his hand on the
plane. the machine starts off like a pelican with
wings outstretched and glides along just above
the ground trying to mount in the air.
It's wonderful thing, this aeropane. And
because it is wonderful if it comes down with
a bump in a cloud of yellow dust two hundred
wards from the starting point you don't care
All YOU wonder is, are they going to try 1t
again?
If they don't of course, you get on the same
car with 1000 other people and 80 home where
YOU stay until the next day
Then you return to Fort Myer to perspire ana
watch Wilbur and Orville again
That's the way things are going now and i
they keep it up long enough, Washington will
have the real old aeroplantis and Congress will
vote the signal corps that S7o.oooooo. or there
