winter has arrived, beside the low

robins in this section. Many of them
have been seen lately, in fact, more

Mr.. McCombs, 1t 10 known, had been
selected by the president-elect FOR sec
rotary of war, and had virtually agreed
to accept the post. but witkip thu last
ten days he has changed his views and
| now believes he can serve Mr.. Wilson
better by remaining out Of the cabinet,
ana retaining the Craftsmanship OF the
national COMMITTEES.
This, however, was only one of the
reasons for his changed opinion. His
friends say Mr.. McComhs believes he Is
at crisis In his career, that If he
should enter the cabinet he would have

he has built up, and that he prefers
to develop his professional career while
he ts young and in vigorous mind

serted, Governor Wilson made up be-
fore he departed from Trenton. 1t is
as follows:

to complete the cabinet have not been

What They Prefer.
II win be observed that the name Of
Representative Burleson appears on

the latter the navy.

gard OF Mr.. Wilson, because OF his
loyal support all through the struggle
for the nomination. A. Palmer Mitch

staunchly by the Wilson craft all
through the stormy ante-convention

eminent is trying to eat Its cake and
have 1t. declared Il. p. Ripley. presi-
dent of the Santa Fe System, at the

That Is, by the interstate COM
merce commission 1t abolishes com.
petition by compelling railroads to
charge the same rates, and at the
same time 1t tries to establish COM
petition by splitting up the roads. Ii
would be better all around were all
the railroads under one head, expen-
sive competition would not occur
then, and the public would be none
the worse since the rates are fixed
by the government.
1T Is hard to tell just what the
effect this decision is to have on the
railroads. Il is likely to make 1t
difficult for the roads to borrow mon
ey, for money Is necessary for max
ing improvements, and 1t IL dinacuIt
to get additional capital, as no one
can tell just what the government will
do.
The Santa F'e, too, Is likely to ben.
