STEWART COMMENTS
By c. E. STEWART

Washington. June 9.-tSpeeial.)- Mrs. Belva Lockwood, who has at tained considerable fame by antici- pating the suffragettes or If we may use vulgarism, beating them to it' years ago, has, according to the Wash ington Times, submitted her scheme of running the government in case she were President. Mrs. Lockwoods pro- posed cabinet would be strong cam paign thunder in the hands of the op- position, should the suffragette move ment ever become sufficiently strong to warrant the formation of party and place a candidate in the field for the presidency.
 Mrs. Lockwood's cabinet would be as follows:
 Secretary of State, Philander C. Knox. There Is little use to proceed further in the list because 1t Is hard ly to be denied that if Mrs. Lock- wood as a candidate of the suffragette national party advocated for MT. Knox or MT" anybody else for the premier of the cabinet howl would go up from ambitious danes all over this fair land that would precipitate a split in the party beside which that threaten ing the G. o. P would appear a mere friendly disagreement. She would find herself the storm center of an avail anche of protests that would make life so unbearable that the recall would be welcomed with open arms, but that is not all. She would make up the cabinet with celebrities of both sexes and one can imagine the perfect harmony that would attend all its meetings.
 Secretary of the Treasury, Mrs. Hetty Green of New York
 Secretary of War, Andrew Carnegie or Thomas Marburg of Baltimore.
 Attorney General, Clara Foltz of Cal fornia.
 Postmaster General, Mrs. J. P. Long, street of Georgia.
 Secretary of the Interior, Clara Ha- zen White of Chicago.
 Secretary of the Navy, Col. Theodore Roosevelt.
 Secretary of Commerce and Labor, Miss Jane Addams of Chicago.
 Secretary of Agriculture, Clifford Pin chot.
 Chairman of child welfare commits sion, Mrs. Ellen Spencer Mussey,
 Chairman of pure food commission, pr. Harvey W. Wiley.
 Now can one reasonably doubt the political wisdom of Theodore Roosevelt when he openly advocates "votes for women?" Picture to yourself gentle
 
 Betary of the Navy, with Mrs. Lock- wood as President of the United States. You will have 10 draw some on your imagination, but not nearly so much as Mrs Lockwood has done.
 Then l guess there could be no very great objection to Andy Carnegie as Secretary of War Andy is great peace advocate and all that but it Is 10 be presumed that if We were forced to take up arms to defend the na- tional honor Andy could be depended upon to do the secretarying all right. and with Mrs. Lockwood as President we can see no great probability of there being a war any way, unless it was one of rebellion. and Andy would be strong on a rebellion. It is international peace that he has always advocated.
 Mrs Loekwood's wisdom in the se- lection of a Secretary of the Treasury cannot be successfully disputed Mrs. Green would make an ideal Secretary of the Treasury and the slogan of re- form in the national expenditures would unquestionably be carried out 10 the letter. Somebody would certainly have to show" Mrs. Green before there was any surplus change passed along the line to the 'boys' or gals either through her department. Under Mrs Greens skillful management we can IOTeSee the udy WutH itliS todQttS would no longer pay interest on a bonded debt and there would be no need of tariff for revenue only, be- cause we would have no need for tho revenue.
 Clifford Pinehot and Dr. Harvey need no panegyrie from our unworthy pen. They are both experts in their line, and we commend their selection as mem bers of Mrs. Lockwoods cabinet as we do the remaining members of whom We have not yet commented. But we cannot believe that Mrs. Lock- woods carly announcement of the members of her cabinet will be any great aid to her in securing the nom nation Our limited knowledge of pol itics forces us to the opinion, on the contrary, that it was great political blunder
