Character.
Cincinnati Enquirer.)

Der, as shown by the selection of a
cabinet the members of which are emf
nently qualified to discharge the du
ties of me great departments they ar
respectively called upon to preside
over.
Men of character and strong person
alities, their selection by the president
has impressed the country with the
opinion that the administration will be
efficient and business-like from the
start to the finish.
President Wilson correctly inter
preted democratic sentiment when he
placed William Jennings Bryan at the
head of the department of state, the po-
sition occupied by Jefferson, Marshall,
Madison, Monroe, Adams, Van Buren,,
Marcy and Seward.
The Gladstone of America, his parti-
sanship is ennobled by humanitarian
ism that places him in touch with the
people of all nations, and which pre-
eminently fits him for the lead he viii
undoubtedly take in the international
affairs of the globe.
Premier Bryan assumes his Office
possessing the confidence of the entire
country, as to his sincerity, integrity
and ability, and the representatives of
other nations have full respect for
those qualities, especially so when sup
porting the high ideals of international
relations which Mr. Bryan is known u
entertain
In the secretary of treasury, William
G. McAdoo, President Wilson has a
personal friend loyal supporter and
experienced financier, a business man
whose efforts have brought success to
himself and prosperity to the great
me tropolis of the republic.
The management of the campaign
suits have testified to the ability which
produced them, as we'll as to the ex-
cel'ent Judgment of Mr.. Wilson in his
selection of Mr.. McAdoo for the direc-
ton of the campaign when Mr. Nc
Combs became incapacitated by i'll
ness.
1t will be found that in the reform
OF the currency system of the country
Mr.. McAdoo will prove a master of de-
tails, safe counselor, and one that
will make a high reputation as the sec
rotary of the treasurer.
Postmaster General Burleson enjoys
the unique distinction of being elected
to congress eight times in succession,
each time without opposition in his
own party.
This is sufficient to show his stand
ing as man, as a democrat and as 4
statesman, in the capital district OF
Texas.
1t is a record that any man could
we'll be proud of, and his service IN
congress, many years on the appropria-
tions committee of the house, but add
ed to the renown which such a record
gave him.
Given control of one of the greatest
of the governmental departments, the
one which is in closest touch with the
masses of the people Mr. Burleson has
the opportunity to exercise his talents
for administration, and those who
know him best are confident of brill
liant results.
AS secretary of the navy, Josephus
Daniels comes into an office that has
been admirably filled hy five other dis
tinguished North Carolinians, and the
country can rest assured that no
stain or spot will sully the record CT
our naval establishment while the de-
partment is presided over by the able
and energetic publicist of the Old
North State.
The country is familiar with the eX-
|cellent legal work of Attorney General
McReynolds; it knows of the splendid
and faithful service of Mr.. Lane on
the interstate commerce commission
and approves of his appointment as
secretary of the interior.
The selection of Secretary of War
Garrison, of the tariff expert and bust
ness man, Mr. Redfield, as secretary
of commerce.; of Mr.. Wilson, as the
head of the new department of labor;
of Mr.. Houston, as secretary of agri-
culture-these all carry the respect Il
the country, and the administration
moves on to action in harmony and ac-
cord, supported by the good wishes
and good will of the people of the
United States.
