WORTHY OF TRUST
PRESIDENTS ADVISERS HAVE
CONFIDENCE OF COUNTRY.
Cabinet is Rich in Men of Legal
Mind, and Their Services Are
Needed by the Coun-
try To-Day.

The new administration is strong or
its legal side. In fact, it may be said
to have no other side. President Taft
ranks with our best lawyers. Mr.. Knox
was called TO Mr.. McKinley's cabinet
because of his high standing at the
bar, and in that cabinet and later in
the senate, attracted wide attention be
cause of his professional equipment
Mr.. Wickersham has the highest New
York Endorsement, and Mr.. Dickinson
the highest middle state Endorsement
Mr.. Nagel is one of the leading law
yers of the Mississippi river valley,
and Mr.. Ballinger occupies a position
of distinction in the legal world of the
Pacific coast Even Mr. MacVeagh
who is classed as financier, was edu-
Gated for the bar.
Lawyers have always dominated our
politics. Twenty of our 26 presidents
have been of that profession. The
greatest of our achievements in the
organization of the government-the
treasury department-wa the work of
a laWyer-AleXander Hamilton. John
Marshall was a tower of strength at
the start. Daniel Webster, a lawyer,
eXpounded the constitution in a way to
command the deepest reverence for
the instrument. The most popular and
influential of our political leaders
Henry Clay-was lawyer. The great
man who saved the union-Abraham
Lincoln-was a lawyer.

than now. The trust question, the rail
road question, the labor question, the
always present question of national au-
thority and state authority, are in
shape demanding the attention of eX-
perts in legal forms and powers. The
Roosevelt period was largely agitatory.
Evils We're exposed. Remedies were
indicated But, in large measure,
matters have been left unsettled.
There is work aplenty to be done to-
ward bringing permanent order out
of it all; and this ample legal talent in
executive office cooperating with con-
gress should be of immeasurabIe serv-
Ice to the country.
How strong we are as people is H.
lustrated afresh by the names pre-
sented. With an exception or two. all
are those of men new to our national
life, and unknown out of the country.
They have played honorable and use
ful parts in their fields, but not so as
to become known to the general public.
The attorney general comes upon the
stage as suddenly and surprisingly as
did Charles +. Hughes few years
ago, and is said to be of the same
grade and fiber. His opportunity is
great, and those who know him are
confident that he will improve it to the
country's good. Eminent in the legal
held, Mr.. Dickinson is a stranger in
he political field, and takes a depart
ment whose business stretches to the
Philippines on the east and to Panama
on the south. The secretary of war
2f to-day has his hands full; and as
able man as Judge Taft found use
Tor all his talents in the post.
But new as they are, these men.
there is all faith, will meet the emer-
sency, and, under a chief enjoying the
country S trust and admiration. execute
their commissions faithfully and we'll

Had the Right Support.

In an article reviewing the career
of the outgoing president the New
York Post says querulously: "As
Roosevelt broke with friend after
friend, and lost the support of one col
lege man after another, he could point
TO the alteration of labor unions and
miners and ranchmen; and that was
enough for him" The support of thai
class of men is what every presldenf
in this democratic country should mes.

whom, as Abraham Lincoln said. the
Lord made so many, that the govern
ment is intended chiefly to benefit.

"a Spirit in Prison."

A Paris correspondent mentions an
anomaly just discovered in that capi
tai. He is a railway guard and COM
poser, one NJ Paul Dupin, 43 years of
age, who has been a musician since
childhood. When he was 12 his family
lost the little money they had and he
started at that early day to earn his
living. He was an apprentice in one
of the humblest berths in railway
company and then mere porter at
Rennes. Manual labor kept him busy
II hours of the day, but at night he
studied music and composed. He has
never had any instruction but what he
gave himself by reading such works as
he could find in the Rennes public Ii
brary Until three years ago he had
actually never been able to afford a
concert ticket and had never in his life
heard full orchestra. He used to
read Beethoven's symphonies, hav-
ing taught himself to make out an or
chestra score, but he could not even
play arrangements of them on the
piano, never having learned that or
any other instrument. Yet" says the
Paris writer, "Dupin all these years
went on composing. To-day he is en-
ployed in Paris. 4 friend has made a
present of piano to his 12-year-old
daughter. who seems to be also re-
markably gifted, and his delight is to
hear his own compositions played by
her, as he cannot play them himself"

The law ordinarily has little senti-
ment, yet occasionally its decisions are
based on sentiment alone. A poor
woman hailed into a Chicago court for
non-payment of rent was noticed to be
wearing a wedding ring and pair of
cheap earrings. The lawyer for the
landlord demanded them, but the judge
would not permit him to take them.
Their intrinsic value is small, their
sentimental value great. They are ex.
empt," he said. 1t is a humane and
pleasant view.

feature of the bill was retained, but
instead of the agreement" of two

b|SbEE TEAM
 CHOSEN FOR
 CLIFTON CAME
Believed to Be Strongest Ag- gregation of Ball Tossers Who Ever Went From This City-Game Arranged For

One of the best teams ever leaving Bisbee to engage in the national sport will be that which will go today to Clifton to cross bats with the team, of that city. Not alone is the lineup composed of well known players but the general ability of the men, several of whom are heal heavy stickers as
 well as good on field work, ausurs success for Bisbee.
 The team will be composed of the
 following players, chosen from a long
 list of applicants after the culling af- forded by last Sundays game. Harper,
 3b; Edmunds, c; Glow. f; McCan, s; Hoffman, ID; Padden If; Daw-
 son,2b; James, Porter and Barnett,
 pitchers. John Dugan will go with
 the team as the representative of
 Manager Hennessey who finds. on ac- count of a press of business that he
 will be unable to make the trip. The first game will be pitched by either Barnett or James while Por- ter is scheduled to deliver the twist CTS on Sunday. That some good play ! ing will be done by the team is the belief of the management as, in spite of the fact that they are still lacking to some extent in team work, individ-
 ually no better collection of ball tai lent has ever gone out of here. The | three pitchers are above the average | in ability while on the batting order | Harper and Edmunds are the most ! consistent hiters. Both can be looked to for a sure hit whenever they come up to the home plate. Glow, McCan and Hoffman are also willow artists ! of no mean ability.
 ! Manager Hennessey also completed | arrangements for the Cananea game ! for which the locals were challenged | by Manager Dugan of the Mexican
 city several days ago. The date was
 named as May ,.

SAN ANTONIO HAS | AEROPLAAE COMING

SAN ANTONIO. Texas, April 2S.- Persons in this city and throughout Texas who have given much time and attention to the study of aerial flight assert confidently that while the i'm proved airship of the Wright brothers is a success, In a way 1t will prob ably yet fall upon San Antonio to be the scene of the first truly successful flight of an aeroplane in the world s history.
 J. ". Oman of this city has invent ed an aeroplane and, according to his own judgment in aerial navigation, his machine will accomplish what the world has been expecting ever since the first aeroplane was invented.
 pr. F. G. Fielding of this city. ia nous throughout the United States as q successful aerial navigator in balloons. and a number of other Tex as scientists, are so much interested | in the San Antonian's invention thai | they have associated themselves witf him financially. and it is the inten ton of the organization to have perfected machine in readiness tt

 which he does not care at this tim to give out much detailed information differs radically from all other
 which have thes fur been exploited It is one whereby his propellers ar so arranged that the machine need
