is STARTING WELL
MR.. TAFT'S EXCELLENT CABINET
SELECTIONS.
Appointments of Messrs. Knox and
Wickersham Prove Fitness of
President-Elect for His
High Position.

The president-elect announces that
his secretary of state will be Hon.
Philander c. Knox, who was attorney
general in Mr.. McKinley's second term
and is now senator from Pennsylvania.
1t is also officially announced that
George w. Wickersham of New York
will be Mr.. Taft's attorney general.
The selection of Mr. Knox is one
that commands public confidence. Few
men have risen faster from private
success to public esteem or held that
esteem with less question. 1t is not
given to many men III times of peace
to become recognized pillars of the
republic within so few years.
Prior to his appointment as attorney
general in April, 1901, Mr.. Knox was
unknown to the nation at large. To
the legal profession he was known as
successful Pittsburg lawyer of
highly respectable position. From
those who make hasty assumptions
his appointment was objected to az
that of "a mere corporation lawyer"
He speedily showed that his sense
of public duty was in no way colored
by the accident of his associations in
private practice. Under his admins
tration the department of justice stood
for evenhanded enforcement of the
laws. His record has been made more
illustrious from the inevitable COM
parison with that of his SUCCESSORS.
Mr.. Wickersham is as little known
to the nation at large now as was Mr..
Knox early in 1901. However, the
fact that he is described where best
known as an "old fashioned lawyer"
must be regarded as a promising sign.
The country has become weary of at
torneys general who ask the courts
to disregard the constitution, or who
make a jest of grave questions OF ma
tional welfare.
1t is worthy of note that in the ac-
| ceptance of both Mr.. Knox and Mr.
| Wickersham there is a clear prefer
ence of public duty to mere ease and
profit. One would have an easier life
| by remaining in the senate The
other could make more money by
sticking to his law office The pref
erence of both shows what cant are
certain assumptions most current
among those who criticise public men
most severely. Though it must be
also the post Of danger, the patriot
prefers the post of honorable service
That Mr. Tafts first selections for
his cabinet not as matter of course
as was that of Mr.. Hitchcock, are OF
the character they are is a cheerful
sign to the country. They give hope
full promise that the incoming admin
fstration will be guided by broad
thought for the general welfare of the
| American people.

Very SIGNIFICANT Fiuures.

In the quarterly statement of the
United States Steel Corporation there
Is ample ground for the belief that
business and industrial conditions are
rapidly improving. Whiie the earnings
are lower than for the high-tide quar-
ter ending with September of last
year they show an increase of nearly
$1O00,00O over the preceding quarter,
ended with June. This is the more sig
nificant when compared with the in
crease of only 100000 for the sec
ond quarter over the first quarter
Put in another way, the increase of
the third quarter over the second is
3h times the increase of the second
over the first. Moreover. the increase
since March 81 to so per cent of the
total earnings for the first quarter of
the year. At the same rate of progress
for the current quarter the earnings
for the last half Of the year may easily
be double those of the first half of the
year, and up to the highest rate Of the
corporation.

SETENTEEN HOURS IN SADDLE
ROOSEVELT SETS AN EXAMPLE
FOR ARMY MEN TO FOLLOW.
President Made Trip to Prove to Mill
tary Critics that 90 Miles in Three
Days ls Not Too Much.

Washington-P Roosevelt
rode 50 miles on horseback on
Wednesday, and when he dismounted
at the White House door, more than
II hours after having departed there
from, he did not show any marked
signs of weariness. The object Of his
long day in the saddle, he explained to
representative of the Associated
Press after his return, was to prove
to the critics who have found fault
with the recent order requiring all
army and navy officers to take physical
tests, that if president who is not in
training can ride 80 miles in one day
without being laid up in bed thereby,
it should not be too much to ask the
men who are supposed to be in the
best physical training all the time to
ride 80 miles in three days"
Mounting his faithful rider and
jumped Roswell in front of the
White House door at $3.50 o'clock
Wednesday morning he dismounted at
the same place at $40 Wednesday
night. His journey was to Warren
ton, Va, and back. On the return trip
the last 80 miles of the journey were
made in sleet and rain, while the last
Is miles were in almost pitch dark
ness. When he dismounted his coat
and hat were frozen stiff with sleet
and ice. There were four relays of
horses, the first stage of the journey
~ bn locf In q hN,f hn
president on Roswell; the second
out and third in being on Georgia;
while the other two were on army
horses which the president had never
before mounted
AS the four horseback riders, fol
lowed by two policemen on wheels and
the empty carriage drove into the
sleet shimmering grounds surround
ing the executive mansion the preSi-
dent in front with his broad brimmed
black slouch hat drawn down over his
face, presented a striking picture.
Both the outward and the return trip
lay through Fairfax court house to
Warrenton. Arriving at the latter
place about II o'clock, where the
presidents coming had been heralded
an hour or so before his arrival, he
was greeted by gathering of citi-
Zens and school children to whom he
spoke few words of greeting.
In less than an hour after returning
to the White House the president had
changed his ice-coated clothing for
evening dress and appeared in the din
ing room, ready for as hearty a meal
as he has eaten for long time
If any of the critics of his "army
riding order" had dropped in about
that time they would have been sadly
disappointed, for the president did not
show in the least by his walk that he
had been sitting for nearly II hours in
hard saddle.

WINDOW GLASS
TRUST FORMED
TAKES IN VIRTUALLY ALL MANU-
FACTuRERS OF HAND-BLoWN
GLASS IN COUNTRY.
WAGESCALE TOBEFIXEDLATER
Factories in Combine Are Located In
Ohio, West Virginia, Indiana, New
York, Pennsylvania, Kan
sas and California.

Columbus, O.-After two days of
conference and argument over terms
of consolidation window glass manu-
facturers on Thursday in their
meeting came to an agreement, and
within a few days the Imperial Win
dow Glass Co., which will include in
its personnel practically every manu-
facturer of hand-blown window glass
in the United States, will be launched.
The capitalization of the company,
its officers and other details were not
definitely decided. Out of the 1000
and more pots of the Independent win
dow glass factories, over 1850 signed
the agreement and when the remain
ing factories which are located in
West Virginia and Pennsylvania, are
heard from, the final touches will be
put on the new corporation. w. Z.
Jones & Co, who own three .arge
plants in West Virginia, on Thursday
decided to join the merger. 1t was
new company which made possible its
organization, as without its factories
the merger could not have been
formed
1t is probable that the headquarters
of the new company will be in Pitts
burg. The factories which will be con-
trolled are located in Ohio, West Vir-
ginia, Indiana, Pennsylvania, New
York, Kansas and California
Pending the completion of the con-
solidation the question of the new
wage scale will be allowed to lie as it
Is. Practically all of the factories are
closed down by the strike of the work
men, and when the new organization
is completed, then the subject of a
settlement will be taken up. Under
present conditions in the glass trade,
the owners of many of the factories
are not anxious to operate, and both
Messrs. Faulkner and Burns, leaders
of the rival organizations of work
men. were unable to obtain any official
conference with the employers.
Cleveland Jan. 15.-Declaring that
1t would would mean a reduction of
40 per cent from the old straight list
and lower wages than glass workers
ever worked for under the sliding
scale, President Faulkner of the Ma
tional Glass Workers says that organ
ization could not countenance the
plans proposed at the Columbus meet
ing of manufacturers in the formation
of the Imperial Glass Co., designed as
an Independent combination. Mr.
Faulkner returned from Columbus
with information that the organization
named had, through committees,
agreed upon a forfeit of 500 per pot
and that certain manufacturers would
put plants out of blast until the work
ers had coincided upon an agreement
based on the selling price of 9030 sin
| gle strength and 90-40 double strength
President Faulkner asserted that the
workers could derive no benefit what
ever under this arrangement and
could do nothing other than continue
the fight along the lines inaugurated
when the strike of the glass workers
was called

The New Tariff Bill

Now that the ways and means com
mittee has begun the drafting of a
tariff bill interest in the subject will
be greatly quickened. Not that the
bill drafted is likely to be accepted
in the form presented. That is most
unlikely. The new ways and means
committee must pass upon it, then the
next house, and then the senate
Changes, and maybe many of them
are inevitable. But the bill will afford
the basis for speculation as to what
the contest will turn upon respecting
the meaning of the Chicago platform
In other words, what was compre
hcGded now, in the promise of tariff
revision?

WEEKLY REVIEW OF TRADE
Except in Iron and
Steel.

New York City.-R. G. Dun G. Co. IS
Weekly Review of Trade says:
Trade during the first half of Jan
uary shows expected progress. New
undertakings are encouraged by the
more settled policy regarding large
financial and industrial affairs and
ample funds are available. Leading
industries gradually increase working
forces and output and while in most
lines both continue below normal, the
gains established in the closing
months of last year are fully main
tanned
Disappointment is manifest in the
iron and steel markets, demand lack
ing snap and requirements coming
out in hesitating way. Better buying
was expected owing to cheap money
and the fact that the entire country is
practically bare of finished goods. Lit
tie inquiry is received from the rail
roads.

From the state OF Washington comes

trusty 22-caliber rifle and pursued il

This species of new woman, declares

there will be some action in addition

however, since she is a mighty bear

MINISTER'S BRAIN DISEASED
Doctors Find Evidence of Decided Ger
ebraI Derangement in Murderer
Carmichael.

Detroit, Mch.-The brain of Rev.
J. H. Carmichael, who killed Gideon
Browning in the Rattle Run church
and committed suicide at Carthage,
ILL.,, was examined by four physicians
Thursday night. At the conclusion of
the autopsy the physicians stated that
they had found unmistakable evidence
of insanity.
1--WE find that Rev. Mr.. Carmichael
had been sufferer from acute
mania" said the physicians. THE
blood vessels of the brain were all
congested. There was an adhesion of
the coverings of the brain to the
Uranium which showed an anaemia of

found granulations of the superior

suffered several attacks of acute in

The doctors agreed that the marks
found upon the body, which had given
rise to the report that the dead man
had been addicted to the use of a hy-
podermic syringe for administering
drugs, had all been made after the
minister's death.

Taft for the Consumers.

In his solicitude for fair tariff re-
vision. Mr.. Taft does not give himself
any concern about the industries so
far as needed testimony is concerned
He knows from history, and from the
policy of the tariff revision committee
now sitting, that the protected inter
ests will be heard to the full extent of
their prejudiced, one-sided evidence.
He does want the side of the con
sumers to be heard and recorded. and
he indirectly calls the committee to
account for not taking initiative action
to secure testimony on this side of the
case. The justice of this criticism is
obvious. Suppose, for example, that in
order to fortify the, side of the inter.
ests it had been necessary TO send sub
committees to various parts of the
country, to call upon representatives
of the consuming class, does anyone
believe for a minute that this commit
tee, presided over by Mr.. Payne, would
have failed TO take these steps?
The whole policy of revision com
mittees in the past has been to leave
nothing undone that could be done to
strengthen the claims for high protec-
tive duties and to do nothing that
could be left undone 10 show the rights
of the consumers. But for the deter.
mination of Mr.. Taft to have honest
revision, great may Republicans in
congress would be more than willing
that the next revision should be ac.
complshed in the same old way.

PICTURE ROCK COMES
 FROM CHRISTMAS MINE

PHOENIX, Noy. 4.-Eugene Brady O'Neill returned last week from a ten days trip of inspection of the London Mountain Copper eompany's proper ty near Christmas, of which he is president. He brought home with him a gripsack full of jewelry copper from the property, which has on ex- hibition in his office. Such jewelry copper ore-a beautiful blue chryso- colla closely resembling turquoise which finds a ready sale at from one to thee dollars pound to jewellers, according to its purity and the size of the Jumps. They manufacture 1t into the cheaper grades of jewelry and sell it as turquoise.
 Chryscoeoila is a silcate of copper and carries 45 per cent of the metal A great deal of 1t was found in very beautiful condition in the Old Domin- ion mine at Globe in the early history of that famous property, and beautiful specimens of it are to be seen in min eral cabinets all over the world. A great deal of it occurs in many Of the mines about Globe and it is still an important part of the output Of the Old Dominion, but it was only at JT close to the surface that it was fine enough in color and purity to oe sought as specimens.
 The London Mountain property sidelines the London Arizona and the Saddle Mountain, (Christmas) proper ties and contains about HOO acres. It lies in the same formation and is part of the same geological unit as zona.
 This ore occurs in the carbonifer. ous limestone, the same as the Bisbee group of great mines and the visible conditions all indicate that the Christ mas section of the London range-the east end of twill prove as great in copper as Arizona's own and only Bis, bee.
 Portions of the ore brought down by MT. O'Neill also contain chaico- cite. an ore that carries but a small fraction less than 80 per cent of cop per.
 The big copper mine deal conclud, ed in Phoenix last week between the Development Company of America composed of Arizona's wealthiest and most successful copper producers and the owners of the Saddle Noun, tain and London-Arizona, assures that much money will now go into the energetic development of those great properties, and MT. o'Neill k happy that this will quickly show UT the value of the London Mountain property, for they are all fractions oi one geological piece.

CROKER Is BACK ID HIS OLD
 HAUNTS

NEW YORK, Nov 4.-Less spry than in former years, and disclaiming that his presence is due to any pollt- ical motive or a desire to aid Charles w. Morse in securing his liberty, Richard Croker, the former Tammany Hall chieftain, arrived in New York on the Mauretania.
 T came here simply to pass the winter in my bungalow at Palm Beach" said Mir Croker in response to a number of questions asked by reporters. Tt is absurd to say that am here to aid Mir, Morse. The thought never entered my mind. Neither will I have anything to do with the political situation If l wished to help the democratic party l would have arrived three weeks ago"
