Special Cartoonist for the Times.
On the 3rd of March, in the
present year of our Lord, very
imposing delegation of Missouri
ans were seated in a Washington
bound train en- route to the in
auguration.
The delegation was headed by
Ex-Governor Francis and contain
ed numerous other notables of
the "Show Me- state" The trip
was enlivened by a well-nigh I'M
broken discussion as to what rec
ognition Missouri would get in
the form of a cabinet position,
and much debate was INDUCED in
concerning the probable identity
of the appointee.
David Franklin Houston was a
quiet member of the party and
didn't seem to take much inter-
est in the debate. There was a
reason for his tranquil indiffer-
ence-he had the appointment in
his pocket all the time and three
days later took the oath of office
as secretary of agriculture
He was born in Monroe, Union
county, North Carolina, in 1866.
After winning distinction in sew
eral universities he finally grad
uated at Harvard, where from
1897 to 1900 he held a profess
sorship in political science. In
1900 he became dean of the fac
ulty and retained that position
until 1902, when he became pres
ident of the University of Texas.
From September, 1908, he has
been chancellor of the Washing
ton university at st. Louis. He
is member of the Southern Ed
ucationa1 Board: trustee for the
John F. Slater Fund; member of
the Rockefeller Sanitary Com
mission; fellow of the Texas
State Historical Society; member
of the American Economic asso-
citation; president of the Harvard
Club and author of "A
Critical Study of Notification in
South Carolina"

tary submits the following cate

Whose Fault Is It?

The Spokesman Review. one of
the many paperes which is partly
responsible for the election of a
democratic president. is one of the
first to criticise the actions of the
new president in his stand on the
tariff question. All will agree that
the tariff is a delecate matter to
ha.dle and several Intellectual at
tempts have been made to so arrange
and dispose of this issue that it
would benefit the majority of man.
kind. As yet the big men at Wash
ington are up against hard prop
osition as ever before. but it remain
ed for President Wilson to take a
stand for what he considered SOL
ution of this great issue. Whether
his actions will meet with success is
yet to be established. His sincerely
can hardly be doubted. but his
judgement may be at fault. How.
ever the out come, the Spokesman
Review should be as reluctant in its
criticisms as great many people
were in supporting its candidate
the Big Bull Moose.

BULL MOOSE IS SHEDDING

p A careful investigation made by
the correspondents of the Philadel-
phia Press. an independent paper,
throughout Pennsylvania and pub
lished in series of six articles,
shown conclusively according to
their words. that Progressiveism as
an independent organization is wan
Fing. that Roosevelt's popularity is
steadily diminishing and that the
general tendency of the political
trend is toward the Republican
fence.
The light of Mr.. Roosevelt S
personality has dimmed simultane-
ously with the flame of his cause,
and political leaders say that it will
not be long until Progressiveism
will be but a memory.
The life of the new party is ebbing
while its leaders are assuming an ali
of indifference. The general opinion
is that the cause has now burned toe
low to be revived. Former con
verts from the Republican forces
realizing this, are steadily retreatins
to their original camps, and tn
hope of the Progressive is dark.
