Cabinet-M Making.

Mr.. WilsOn-Who is in Bermuda rest
ing'-warns the public against all cabinet
speculation. When the proper time comes
ne himself will announce the names of the
men who will constitute his official family
Nevertheless, speculation will, of course,
continue. The temptation is too great to
be resisted. Too many men, in politics
and out, are interested in the subject for
even Mr.. Wilson to control it. His news
paper reading will bring him daily many
hints about how he should officer his ad-
ministration.
Still, it will be well for the public to
remember that cabinets are formed slow
ly, and are subject to shifts and changes
up to the last day of grace. Some cabinet
selections have been rejected, and Others
made, within twenty-fonr hours of the
swearing in of President.
Take the case of Gen. Garfield. When
he reached Washington to be inaugurated
he had the name of ''Uncle jerry Rusk
on his cabinet list. but with the feeling
that he might have to drop his old friend
from Wisconsin. He did have to drop
him at the last moment
The two men were Jim" and Jerry
to each other. When the necessity for
the change forced itself upon Gen. Gar
field. he sent friend to 'sUncle jerry to
explain matters, and to offer something
which If not equally as good vet
was very good. But Uncle Jerry" put
the offer aside with jocular emphasis, and
returned this reply: Tell Jim to go to
hades! I'm going back home and run for
Governor of Wisconsin, And he did,
was elected. and eight years later was so
strong in the northwest he became the
representative of that section along with
William Window in the Harrison cabinet.
When Mr.. Mckinley arrived in WASH
ington for his first Inauguration, Mr..
Bliss selection for the Interior Depart
ment was only tentative. New York want
ed, as she has always wanted, the Treas
ury Department. But. under pressure ex-
erted at the last moment, Mr.. Bliss con-
sented to accept for a short time the
other place.
Mr.. Wilson may have some such ex-
perience He may find himself with puz-
zle blocks to handle. A name fitting in
one place today may have to be shifted
tomorrow to accommodate the unfolding
conception of things. There will be many
names presented for consideration. At
least a score of fancy farmers are men,
toned for the Secretaryship of Agricul-
ture, ranging all the way from a breeder
of saddle horses and prize pigs to a man
who has discovered a new way of suck
ering" growing tobacco and hoeing a hill
of potatoes.
Such is fate and such fate Mr.. Will
son in seeking the presidency invited.
AS he is not asking for sympathy, none
need be offered. But all wish him good
luck with his task. \ strong cabinet is
a great blessing.

Good Post Office Work.

The effective organization Of the Post
ONCE Department is again demonstrated
by the wholesale arrests that have just
been made Of persons accused Of using
the mails for the prosecution of des-
picable and dangerous business in GRIM
inaI malpractice. This evil has grown
to proportions amply justifying the en-
ployment OF the powers of the United
States government for its suppression.
The mails have been used to a shocking
extent in forwarding the enterprise, and
now 1I3 persons have been caught I'm cir
cumstances. 1t Is believed. to justify their
rigorous prosecution for specific viola
ton of statute forbidding the employ
nent OF the postal facilities for immoral
purposes. Convictions in a substantial
ercentage of these cases will probably
heck this horrible business effectively.

This is. OF course. not complete list
Of accidents at grade crossings. Not all
Of them are reported by wire, owing to
the pressure of news at times. especially
from the longer distances. But the list
is nevertheless impressive of the fact
that the yearly death toll at the exposed
track Is frightfully heavy. At yesterdays
session of the state railroad commits
s.oners in this city attention was called
to the estimate that probably LOCO per-
sons are killed each year at grade cross
ings and more than 5000 trespassers on
the right-of-way lose their lives. The
money cost, in all, was reckoned at $685.
900, 900.
Each year this evil grows greater. The
roads are more frequently used, with
motor cars passing over the grade cross
ings in countless numbers Only a very
small number Of these crossings are safe
guarded In any way. and those chiefly in
cities. where conditions serve to lessen
the risk by reason of speed laws In the
open country these traps wait for the un-
wary, without gates or f1agmen or warn
ing bells. the railroads merely planting
posts with the traditional admonieion to
Stop. Look and Listen
In view of the sacrifice of 1000 lives at
grade crossings. 1t is surely incum-
bent upon the federal authorities and the
state governments, working together, to
move to require the abolition of grade
throughout the country 1t can
be done. The cost is not prohibitive, espe-
cially in the light of the fact that the ex-
posure of tracks costs annually nearly
forty millions Of dollars. AS begin
ming all railroad companies can be COM
PEELED to maintain gates and watchmen at
places where the public is obliged to
cross the tracks.

For "Clean Speech. y

From the Chicago Record Herald.
A league. it is announced, has been
formed against 1.-The current use OF bias
phemous, profane and obscene language
in public places Its object is to obtain
enforcement Of the law against users OF
such language and to do anything else
that may be necessary to check an evil
in our public conduct. Too many Ameri-
cans are addicted to foul and vulgar
speech. Returning travellers and visitors
from foreign shores notice an offensive
profusion of such language as soon as
the home port is reached 1t has no
parallel in Europe and no proper place
here. Perhaps 1T exists because of the
greater nervous strain that is on Ameri-
cans; perhaps 1t is a result of freedom
from some of the restraints on the indi-
vidual that exist in an older country
Whatever its cause, it's results are bad.
1t is easy, of course, and dangerous, to
go to extremes in suppressing profane
and indecent language. But toward real
and sensible suppression every decent
American ought to be willing to lend
helping hand.

hardly less interested to know what will
be the social life of the presidential man
sion after the new occupants are in

command public approval and very likely
admiration there are few to doubt, and
that is feature of an administration
which does not always receive the recog-
n.tion and appreciation it deserves. There
have been few instances when the ladies
of the White House have not risen to the
demands of the position; fewer still when
they have not been found worthy of the

Coal Prices.
From the New York World.

From the New York World
The miners strike in the anthracite
region last spring closed the mines for
two months. A slight increase In pay
was secured by the men. and the coal
railroad companies advanced the price
of coal % cents a ton, much more than
repaying themselves for the increased pay
of the men. No shortage of coal threat
ened at the time, because the operators
were able to draw on their reserve stocks,
which they had provided for just such an
emergency. They announced that no
shortage would result, and now the pub
lie is made to feel through it's pocket that
Ia shortage does exist and that it must
submit to fresh extortion or prepare to
60 cold. 1t only knows that in a closely
controlled industry the consumers always
gets the worst of the bargain.
