The man who honestly undertakes
to safeguard the public interests
throughout the administration Of this
immense department is certain to have
a job too big for one man.
The Interior department ought to be
reorganized. There should be re-
distribution of functions and duties
among some Of the departments Of
the government.
A cabinet in which some members
are hunting around for jobs to do,
while Others are overworked. doesn It
represent proper balance of things.
The whole system mas grown up by
processes of accretion. For two gen
erations one new task after another
has been handed over to the Interior
department. For the last decade Con-
gress has seemed inspired by perfect
mania for inventing new things for
the Interstate Commerce Commission to
look after. 1t is time to realize that
this is no way to run the government g
business.

Tariff Conferees' Work.


Buffalo Inquirer.)
Washington dispatches chronicle
swift work by the tariff bill conferees
and predict speedy agreement on all
points of difference.
Although the Senate made more than
seven hundred changes in the tariff
bill as it passed the House. none Of
them justides a quarrel. The revised
bill does not differ from the original
bill in principle OF spirit in any i'm
portant degree. Either house may
vie d or the two houses may. split the
difference without any sacrifice Of con.
sequence. ,.s
Under these circumstances harmon
izing is easy, and the prediction of an
end soon to tariff uncertainty and sus-
pense will doubtless be fulfilled.
