THE NEW CABINET.

President Wilson kept his word to
name his cabinet on the fourth OF
March and not earlier. May ne
keep all pledges as easily.
For the most part, it is cabinet
of men comparatively untried in pub
lie affairs. This is no reproach,
especially from the national admins
tration for sixteen years. The ques-
ton is less what the new cabinet
members have done than what they
will do in their present positions.
There arc exceptions to this rule,
anc one of them is notable excep-
ton. The biggest, best known, best
loved, best hated man in President
Wilson's cabinet is William Jennings
Bryan, secretary of state. No other
democrat can bring as much strength
to the Wilson administration as
Bryan can; no man of any party
is better fitted for the post.
Mr.. Bryan's reason for taking this
place are twofold He wishes to do
all in his power to make the Wilson
administration success and to ad-
vance the progressive measures to
which that administration is pledg-
ed. He believes he can do this bet
Ter lrOm CduIHCL pOoAIAoA IAnA
from the ranks. That is one reason,
and perhaps of itself sufficient one.
But there is another project very
dear to Bryan's heart which practi-
cally compelled his acceptance. Bryan
hates war. His greatest ambition is
to forward the coming of universal
peace; to hasten the day when ma
lions can disarm, when all interna-
tional disputes will be settled by ar
bitration. The secretary of state OF
the United States can help this great
| work more than almost any other
person.
1t is 2 noble ambition. If Mr..
Bryan even partially realizes it, if
he brings the era of peace and dis
armament nearer by even few steps
| he will have earned the gratitude of
all mankind Champions of the blood
and iron theory of national growth
may sheer, but neither Mr. Bryan nor
the American people will pay much
Iced 10 gibes from such source.
Other member of the new cabinet
| have given earnest of their fitness
| for the work. Franklin X. Lane,
secretary of the interior, is a former
member of the interstate commerce
commission. He is a California man,
| who narrowly missed being governor
ios his state, and who has a credit
greater than Office can give, in that
| he attracted the united opposition
i of Hearst and the Southern Pacific
RAILROAD.
