ence OF opinion or facilitate some mea-
sure Of accommodation.
IT was the l7th OF September when the
convention at last broke up: the 18th when
the Constitution it had wrought out was
published to the country.
All he slow summer through, WASH
ington had kept counsel with the rest as
to the anxious work that was going for
ward behind the closed doors of the long
conference: II was a grateful relief to
be rid of the painful strain. and he re-
turned to Mount Vernon like one whose
part in the work was done.
Keen for New Government.
Il never saw him so keen for anything
in my life as he is for the adoption of
the new scheme OF government" wrote
a visitor at Mount Vernon TO Jefferson;
but he took no other par. than his cor
respondence afforded him in the agitation
for its acceptance.
Throughout all those long four months
in Philadelphia he had given his whole
mind and energy to every process of Diff
ficult counsel by which IL had been
wrought to completion: but he was no
politician Earnestly as he commended
the pan to his friends. he took no public
part either in defense or in advocacy of IT.
He read not only the Federalist p4pers,
In which Hamilton and Madison and Jay
made their mastery plea for the adoption
of the Constitution. but also every per-
formance which has been printed on the
one side and the other on the great ques-
ton" he said. SO far as he was able to
obtain them, and he felt as poignantly
as any man the deep excitement of the
momentous contest.
1t disturbed him keenly to find Georee
Mason opposing the Constitution-the dear
friend from whom he had always ac-
cepted counsel hitherto in public affairs
and Richard Henry Lee and Patrick
Henry. too, in their Passionate attach
ment to what they deemed the Just SOW
ereignty of Virginia.

The Pujo Peril.

| The Pujo committee has at last dis
covered that there is such a thing as a
Money Trust" 1t took long time
to arrive at this conclusion and the
definition is "a well-dchncd, cstab-
lished identity and community of inter
est between few leaders OF finance,
held together through stock holdings,
interlocking dircctorates and other
forms OF domination over banks, trust
companies, railroads. public service, and
industrial companies. -
We confess that the Pujo invcsti-
gators have not proved themselves to
be financial experts OF course, we
all know that a concentration Of cred
its exists, but it is folly TO maintain
that it is the outcome OF the manipu-
lation of a handful of grasping, I'M
scrupulous Men How far would the
modern business go without a credit
system, and what has concentration of
cash to do with the extension of mer-
camille credits?
What surprises is that the new
President supports the theories ad
vanced by the Pujo committee in his
latest publication The New Freedom.
If all Mr.. Wilson says is an inti1na-
ton OF his line OF action in the White
House, he has a great deal to learn
and he should not forget that last fall
he stated publicly that lie knew moth
ing OF the currency issue.
But with experience. no doubt. he
will learn much. His conception of
the money power may be changed by
diligent observation and by a COM
parison OF Pujoism with the well-es-
tablished facts presented in the state
ment by J. Pierpont Morgan.
Unfavorable predictions as to the III
f1uence of a Democratic administra-
ton upon the common veal stand a
good chance OF being verified If a
President leans toward the fantastic
theory that men of great wealth, with
great personal issues at stake, have
sort of secret society which Gre
ates. averts, and composes panics." On
the other hand, a President, whe sees
how much our antiquated banking sys-
TEN is responsible for concentration"
of funds in great cities and that the
law of supply and demand is absolutely
Independent of acts of Congress, might
be able to accomplish a great deal in
the way of benefting his country-and
incidentally his. party.

the manifold and vital cases that al
most daily come before that board.
The new Attorney General, Mr.. Nc
Reynolds, has won his laurels as a
prosecutor of the Tobacco Trust and
the anthracite roads. He will make a
good minister of justice, but there is
one thing: How will he and Mr..
Bryan get along, seeing that he is well
known as an anti-Bryan Democrat?
Lindlcy NJ. Garrison, for the war
portfolio, is a puzzle. He belongs to a
New Jersey family that has furnished
a number of judges to the bench OF
that State. The explanation that Mr..
Garrison possesses executive and ad-
ministrativc qualities, which made him
desirable for the post, does hardly
suffice Perhaps. being friend of Mr..
Wilson and of a trained legal mind,
and the war portfolio being the most
difficult 10 handle under present Cir
cumstances. Mr.. Garrison was given so
important a place as an absolutely re-

The making Of two departments out

President Wilson.

Mr.. Wilson, in his inaugural address
YESTERDAY. said that the change IN the
national administration is the result
of sober, second thought, and that
new era is dawning for this country
with the victory that placed him at the
head of our government vi course
no one will blame Mr.. Wilson Tor
having such thoughts, nor for express
ing them in public It is the wish that
is the father of the thought, and lhe
Herald heartily seconds the wish.
But analyzing this declaration, IS
there logic in it? Wasn't it chance,
after all, that placed Mr.. Wilson
where he is, chance personificd in Col
Roosevelt. who brought about a con-
dtion unparalleled in our history, not
ONLY splitting wide open the Repub-
lican party. but drawing votes be-
sides from his Republican rival.
stanch Republicans preferring to cast
their votes for the Democratic candi-
date in order to keep Mr.. Roosevelt
from being elected.
Let us try to he truthful to our
selves at this supreme movement. MI
Wilson has 10 thank Mr.. Roosevelt
far more for his victory than the ma
iority OF the American voters. But
this. to-day. is neither here nor there.
Mr.. Wilson is our President, and tic
proper thing to do is not to cry over
failures of the past, but TO look for
ward to a continuance OF as much
prosperity as the country has enjoyed
for the past sixteen years
Mr.. Wilson is right when he says
that the nation has been stirred deep
lv by the knowledge of ideals lost and
of the government made the lnstru-
rnent of evil" But hasn't the same
thing been said of his own party when
in power? Has there ever been
government that could please an oppo-
sition? Haven't his partisans, after so
bitterly complaining of Republican ex-
travagance, proceeded to spend Still
more of the peoples money, just to
quote one instance?
Mr. Wilson, is is expected, will gov
ern according to honor and righteous
ness; will foster Our commercial and
industrial welfare, keep peace within
and without, try to eliminate graft and
corruption. and will do all that this
country expects of him. We are salts
field that he means to do so when once
he gets the hang of things in prac-
teal way. But he will be sadly dis
appointed if he really believes that he
is the apostle of the political n,illen-
MUM.

The New Cabinet.

President Wilson has sent to the
Senate the list OF the members OF his
official family. 1t contains the names
of some men that were known before
TO have been Mr.. Wilson's choice for
his Cabinet Foremost among them
is William Jennings Bryan. whose fit
ness for the position Of Secretary OF
State VIC discussed the other day. He
may be a peace-loving man, as a UNI
versal panacea and On principle, but
his entire career thus far has demon
strated that he is a born fighter. Hence
it is safe to prophesy that he is not
going to let our little Latin sisters
walk over him." Whether Mr.. Bryan
means to continue the dollar diplo-
macy" of his predecessor in Office is
questionable, although we must confess
that this country has amazingly pros
pered under it and helped the ever
scething little republics to a firmer
basis and more stable methods of
government. AS regard Mexico. Mr..
Bryan will feel his way, no doubt, for
a while, unless fragrant outrages upon
American citizens or interests will
compel quick decision and action under
acute conditions.
Mr.. McAdoo, for Secretary of the
Treasury, appears to us to be fine
choice That gentleman, during his
New York career and as promoter of
the Hudson tunnels, has demonstrated
fully his abilities in the field of finance
and as a shrewd business man, such as
ought to be at the head of the nations
