A Yale Man in the Cabinet.

1t looked for awhile as If there would
be no Yale man in the. Taft cabinet.
Considering the strong coterie of Yale
men with whom President Roosevelt
of Harvard had buttressed himself Of
dicially, and considering how strong
and loyal a Yale man Judge Taft is, it
is somewhat strange that this pecu-
liarity of the present cabinet has es-
capped general comment. The Yale
man is Secretary Of the Treasury Mac

NEAR-MEMBER TAFT CABINET
Judge Willis Vandevanter deserves SON

Judge Willis Vandevanter deserves some
recognition in connection with the discussion
of the new Taft cabinet. For Judge Van Devan:
ter undoubtedly came nearer to being member
of the new cabinet than did any other man who.
did not actually land in the job. 1t had been
definitely settled by pretty nearly everybody
in the United States except Mr. Taft himset-
that Judge Van Devanter was to be made secre'
tary of the treasury. Failing that, he was to be
secretary of the interior. And in case that
slipped, almost anything equally as good was to
be his portion. Something like 876 veracious
public journals gave this information in a husky
stage whisper, audible as far as the back seats
of the auditorium. Their reliable correspondents
had the information direct from various sources

WHEN DID A SALOON DO
ANYTHING WORTH WHILE

Editor Beseret News: During the
last few months there has been consid-
cradle discussion as To- whether or not
prohibition or the closing of saloons enc
t.rely would be an advantage to the
city of salt Lake and the State OF
Utah I'm general
1t would be foolish Co close Salt Lake
and not the balance of the state. one
OF the arguments presented boo favor of
an open saloon town by many is this:
Did you ever see "a dry town that was
any goOd2'
/ am from California mot Missouri.
and L would like to be- shown where 30
does anybody any good or their fam
lilies, friends or latious any good TO go
into "a saloon and hand over to the
proprietor his earnings for a lot OF
whisky Let's not pay our money over
to lot OF saloon men and bartenders;
let's buy a lot and build a house on il
FOR our family and Jet the saloon ele-
ment go 10 some useful and productive
trade
Another argument which some OF our
learned saloon men propounds Us the
fact that they pay heavy taxes which
help support the police and fire de-
partments
II IL were not Tor the saloons VIC
would need very few police; &c q were
not for the saloons there would Doe
but few rasCals holding up our law
abiding citizens Many of our fires
are IN an probability caused by the
ovor-indulgencc Of beverages dispensed
by our benehcant and aX-paying saloon
men.
The taxes collected from the saloons
are no more than a drop In the bucket
compared with the damage they do di-
ractlv and Indirectly not to the CauitdI-
i-t SO much as Oh the laboring classes
II takes "a good town to support para
sites like saloons. To takes a prosper
GUS people 90 be able 20 live well and
at the same time support Institutions
that are of u0 good TO a community
But tho saloon element reverses this
and claims that the saloon is response

AN EMPLOYER OF MEN
IS FOR PROHIBITION

Editor Deaorct News: Certain mem-
hers Of the legislature appear 60 have
taken umbragc at the petitions of the
thousands OF people on the prohibition
question. some having remarked that
they should not have been elected If
their opinion on legislation was not TO
Doe trusted. That lis exactly the argument
of the aristocracy and oIIgarchy.
Ihey reason that since they hold the
positions of government that the peo-
pie need not bc listened 10 as touching
the policies to be pursued our rep
resentative' government was founded
Tor the very purpose of opposing such
doctrines, and those public officers who
forget that they Were elected To be the
