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 in 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 as
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
tratlon the department of justice stood
for evenhanded enforcement of the
laws. His record has been made more
illustrious from the inevitable COM
partson 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 promising sign.
The country has become weary of at.
torneys general who ask the courts
to disregard the constitution. or who
make jest of grave questions of ma
tional welfare.
IL Is worthy of note that in the ac-
ceptance of both Mr.. Knox and Mr..
Wickersham there is n clear prefer.
ence of public duty to mere ease and
proht. One would have an easier life
by remaining I'm 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.. Taft's first selections for
MS cabinet not as a matter of course
as was that Of Mr. Hitchcock. arc of
me character they are is a cheerful
sign to the country. They give hone.
iul promise that the incoming admin.
istration will be guided by broad
Pught for the general welfare of the
American people.

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.

hended now, in the promise of tariff

Taft for the Consumers.


In his solcitude 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 1t 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 minute that this commit.
tee, presided over by Mr. Payne. would
have failed TO take these steps?
The whole policy of revision com
mittees 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 to show the rights
Of the consumers. But for the deter
mination Of Mr. Taft to have honest
revision, a great many Republicans in
congress would be more than willing
that the next revision should be &C
complished in the same old way.

The postmaster OF Cleveland has

has compiled primer giving instruc-
ton on the subject and has circulated
1t In the public and parochial schools
1t would seem that every person with

this is not the case is shown by the
records OF the dead letter office. which
gave a total for last year OF over 10.
100000 domestic letters received there
and over 100000 foreign letters. OF
course these letters did not all fail of
delivery because the writer did not

numbers were without any address,

CALLS FOR A SETTLEMENT.
Sentence of Labor Leaders Brings up
Vital Question.

IL is, all things considered, fortunate
that men of the high character and &C.
knowledged worth OF Gompers. Mitch
ell and Morrison have become the
agents by whose acts the vital cues
tions of the boycott, the court injunc-
ton, contempt of court, the right of
free speech and freedom of the press
have been brought forward In a way
which demands for them full consid-
Grafton and final Judgment by the
courts and the people. These questions
go 10 the very foundation of popular
government. 1t is to be expected that
they will be settled right in the end
for we have Abraham Lincoln's word
for 1t that no question is ever settled
until II is settled right.
In this great controversy the ele-
ment of peril is the sentiment that
there is "one law for the rich and an
other for the poor" Gompers, Mitchell
and Morrison offend a court and are
sentenced to Jail. A great corporation
onends and is fined. 1t is known that
President Roosevelt and other clear
sighted men are greatly disturbed by
such demonstrations of differences in
the application of the law. Unques-
tionably the trade unionist and the
head of the trust should be equally
careful to refrain from unlawful acts.
If they offend they should be punished
with equal severity. Both, however,
are inclined to rail at court decisions.
The courts are established by the peo-
pie for the people. Being human in
stitutions they are fallible.
Americans want all the freedom
that is right for them to exercise. It is
not difficult to see faults on both sides
In this case. The deliberate violation

SERMON ETTE.


"She had neither father nor
mother" A sad childhood, In
deed. It is not known how young
she was when death robbed her
OF both parents and broke up
the home. She was probably
quite young, for the word used
to tell of Mordecai's Kindness
carries the thought Of "nour-
ished." Robbed Of mothsr love
and father strength and pretsc-
ton, It would have seemed that
her life was bIighted and all
hope Of the future gone. But
the breaking up Of the home and
the kindly offer Of her older cou-
sin afforded her just the oppor-
tunlty she needed Of prepare
ton for the exalted place which
she came to fill. He was con.
nected with the royal establish
ment and could thus bring his
young charge into the atmos-
phere and life for which she was
destined.
II is a most inspiring thought
that out Of the misfortunes of
life there often unfold the lar
ger purpose and opportunity for
a human, struggling soul. In fact
It is the very trials themselves
which prove the school of prep
aration for the places Of trust
and influence.
Think of the anguish of that
mother as she looked upon her
little girl and realized she must
leave her. Think Of the father
whose heart was torn within
him as he lay dying because no
longer would his arm be strona
to protect the tender little life
which was unfolding so beauti-
fully. But the tragedy Of that
home gave birth not to a blasted
life, but rather to a larger, fuller
life.
There ls every Justification In
the belief that the parents of
Esther when called upon to
leave her committed her to the
mercifuI watchcare of God and
that it brought comfort to their
dying moments to realize that in
his hands she was safe.
How marvelously the provi-
dences Of God stand out in this
beautiful story. Every step is
marked by the overrulinq hand
Of God, and yet the name of God
is nowhere mentioned in the
book.
True piety Is expressed in the
life rather than by the lips.
whose words may be but hypo-
critic veneer for the godgess life.
Perhaps it was at a great per-
sonal sacrifice Of time and
money that Mordecai took upon
himself the burden Of carina for
his uncle's child. But unseIfish
devotion on his part was like
bread cast upon the waters. II
returned unto MIN with blessed
increase in the years that fol-
lowed.
