Princeton, n. j., Dec 29.-With n
miniature, ship of state in one hand
anu a basket of Virginia apples in the
other, President-ele Wilson came
home, tonight, after an all-day ride
from sstaunton, Va, his birthplace. AS
a parting gift the people of his native
town gave him q state of flowers and
BABE him goodspeed among cheers.
The Governor found himself physi-
cally the better for the journey and SO

he talked politics most of the day with
people, who rode with him on different
stretches of the trip.

The inquiry was occasioned by the
fact that Judge Martin Wade. national
committeeman from Iowa, has urged
the appointment of Mr.. Sullivan as
secretary of the interior.
Mr.. Sullivan explained that the OBJ
jeet of his call was to learn Mr.. Will
sons position on the tariff and the
trust questions.
With respect to his utterance, of last
night, that many men likely to be as
associated with the government, would
have to be mastered" in order that
they might become the instruments OF
mercy and of Justice" the Governor
explained that he had no specific per-
son in mind.
Gov. Wilson indicated in his speeches
at Staunton that he would tendeavor
to convince not only those in the party,
who Gid not see the point of view,
but the business men as we'll that leg

had been unimpeachable in his individual
conduct, has nevertheless engaged in

on which he held himself individually

Asks U. S. Supreme
Court to Dismiss
JOhnsOn'S Writ.

Washington, Dec. 29.-The United
States supreme court is asked by So
Iicitor General Buiitt in n brief made
public. tonight, to dismiss '.summarily'
the application of Jack Johnson, the
Negro pugilist for writ of habeas
corpus contesting the constitutionality
of the White slave" act for the al
legged violation of which Johnson is
awaiting trial at Chicago. The solicit
tor general does not argue the ques-
ton of constitutionality but gives the
view that it is not proper procedure
to seek Johnson's release by write OF
habeas corpus in advance of trial. The
lower court denied the writ and the
solicitor general says;
"i'his is one of those cases which
should be summarily affirmed without
any inquiry as to the constitutionality
of the act of Congress under which
the applicant was arrested.
Here is a man indicted in a fed
eral court seeking release by habeas
corpus in advance of trial upon the
ground that the statute is unconstitu-
tionaL The writ of habeas corpus has
no such function. 1t is not .substi-
tute for a writ of error even after con-
viction.
In the case at bar Jack Johnson
has his complete remedy by demurrer,
etc, in the district court, where he can
fully test the constitutionality.o the
white slave act. If convicted his RENE
dy is by writ of error"
The case is set for hearing in the
supreme court, Jan. 6.

OF Cabinet Is Still in Doubt.

81 do not feel that you can draw an in
dictment against any part of our business
community. They have largely sinned in
ignorance and in thoughtless way But
we have got to square the biggest things
with the simplest standards of morality
and obligation.
"You have got to lay down the great
measurements of morals and square by
them. 1t has got to be done tenderly
because if you can educate a man there
is no use killing him before you have
educated him 1t has got to be done in
such way as not to tear and destroy
the economic fibre of the nation and so
stop the process of life but it has got to
be done and it has got to be done with
an absolutely inhexible will. l dare say
that there are some gentlemen, who will
be criticizing the processes of change
until they die; but some of them are
elderly and so the criticism of the pro-
cesses on change may not be as long as
we fear.
There is no doubt in the mind of the
nation what has to be done, and there is
no going back whatever / may blunder
