Consulting Mr.. Bryan.

something too much is being made of
the statement that Mr.. Wilson has been
consulting Mr.. Bryan about the make-up
OF the cabinet. and that Mr. BRYAN has
been giving his own views with frank
ness.
There Is nothing unusual or improper
in the proceeding. Mr.. Bryans views on
that as on other subjects relating to the
new order are important and Mr.. Wilson
does well to solicit them. If Mr. BRYAN
is to be the premier. why should he not
know who is TO sit at the cabinet tabIe
with him?
This does not mean that Mr.. Wilson 10

for the attorney genera!ship a man asso-
ciated with trust influences. Such selec-
tons would not only offend Mr.. Bran.

as great a blunder for Mr.. Wilson to put

When it comes to Jeffersonian simplicity
the advance indications are that the 1nau-
guration ceremonials which will introduce
DIR. Woodrow Wilson into the White

nian simplicity hum. Never before In
history were the preparations for the
swearing-in ceremonial and the suisse

United States OF North America Is to see
the next week Inauguration. The pros
pectiye President will not flash ar
eyanescent smile or wink an eye that
will not go down in the records and be
subsequently shown to the people. Sc
many moving picture machines will be

safeguarding of American interests south

bent upon early hostilities in Mexico a
short cut to precipitating condition I'M
peratively demanding that course would
be to piliory the Huerta government pub
licly and officially as guilty of crime In
the assassination of Madero and Suarez.
The truth is that Ambassador Wilson,
representing the United States, is not
wholly free to express his personal judg-
ment. even If 1t be his judgment that
the Huerta government has unpardonably
transgressed in the matter of comprising
or permitting the deaths Of Madero and

II is suggested that as the House Will

the tariff. In the Senate there Ia no
such thing as driving measures through.
and the prospect Is that the tariff debate
there will be protracted.
But why take up az important and diff

Wilson's Report on the Killing.

Ambassador Wilson reports to the State
Department that evidence points to the
Innocence of the government authorities
of Mexico in the matter Of the killing OF
Madero and Suarez the other night. His
expression Of hope that American public
opinion will deal calmly with the situa-
ton and accept with reserve the senss-
tional report sent out from Mexico is
we'll timed regardless OF the feeling that
may remain that his acquittal OF the
Huerta government of responsibility may
be inspired by diplomatic necessities.
After all the tragedy of Saturday night Is
none of our affair. however srievously 1t
may shock this country. Our sense OF
Justice has been outraged by the killing
OF two defenseless men. but sraver Issues
are at stake than merely that of the bar

| In such an event the bill would, of

ments added to II by the Senate, This
would be a negative victory for the OPP

order to secure the creation of such a
body II would be necessary for the Dis

taEeous to those hostile TO this creation.
There appears to be little opposition in
