sATHENA. ORE. MAR. "a. 1918

An Eastern contemporary in estim-
ating the men selected by President
Wilson for his cabinet, says: OF Mr..
Bryan for seoterary of State, nothing
more need be said just now than that
in this office at this time the need for
man of his diplomatic powers and
tried democratic principles is great,
and that his appointment at the head
OF the Cabinet is signal demonstra-
tion of President Wilson's democratic
purposes. Mr.. McAdoo's democracy
remains yet to be demonstrated to the
Republic. This is true also of Mr..
Garrison, Mr.. McReynolds and Mr..
Houston. Mr.. RedHeld's ia already
demonstrated with reference to pro-
lection, to which he is fundamentally
opposed; and protection 10 the prActio-

partment of interior. honeycombed as
that department has so long been

Is by land grabbing rings. Mr.. Will
sons greatest official act thus far as
President Ia therefore oonfirmatory of
his preceding words and works All
these Cabinet appointees whose records
are generally known meet every dem
ocratic demand. Those who have as
yet made no national record may be
safely taken on faith partly because
of the local records they have made
and partly because President Wilson,
ON whom the responsibility lies, has
chosen them for what be himself knows
of them. 1t looks as IL he had sue
oeeded in doing what he promised in
this respect as IL be had found the
material for Cabinet for faithful
and powerful democratic team
work.
