KEEPING HIS OWN COUNSEL
President Elect Wilson Has Not Given
Out ANY Cabinet information.

Out Any Cabinet information.
Princeton, N. j., Jan. 5.-President-
elect Wilson tonight made 1t clear that
nobody in the United States knew, as
yet who was going to be in his cabinet,
or what would be the programme he
would suggest for the next congress.
He declared that he had not offered a
single cabinet portfolio to any one thus
far and had as yet reached no conclu-
sions as to plans for the extra session.
Mr.. Wilson stated that while he had
canvassed q variety Of subjects and
had talked over many names with DEM
ocratic leaders, he had not given de-
finite intimation in any direction either
as to what his selections or his course
with respect to legislation would be. He
indicated, however, that he expected
the extra session would not be devoted
exclusively to tariff making and said he
would, in a special message, specify
some Of the subjects upon which he
would like to see legislation enacted.
The president -elect admitted that he
was finding the task of cabinet-making
very difficult. He said he would delay
any announcement until he names his
entire cabinet.
II don't like to make scattered an
nouncements," he said, "and 1t may be
that l will not announce the cabinet
until the last minute. Sometimes
hear something about a man whom i
had not considered that makes me prick
up my ears and want to know more
about him. The field of choice is con-
stantly widening"
It was suggested to Mr.. Wilson that
If he delayed his announcement until
the last minute some Of the men chos-
en- might find themselves embarrassed
for time in winding up their business
affairs.
"Oh, I probably shall choose men
who are footloose," said the governor,
'and then If they should need time to
wind up their affairs they could be
sworn in on March and spend a little
time on it after that"
He indicated that he intends to oc-
cupy as much of his time as possible
between now and March 4 in canvass
ing the field from which he will pick a
cabinet. He said his mind was still open
and that as soon as he reached deci-
sions as to all the men he wished, he
probably would make known the OFF,
GERS simultaneously. The president
elect was asked If he intended to deliv-
er his inaugural address extempora-
neously.
II think I'll prepare the inaugural ad-
Dress" he said, "as those addresses are
more like documents than speeches"
The only speech the governor has
prepared in,a6yance since his nomina-
tion at Baltimore was his speech Of ac-
ceptance. as he does not like to read
speeches. -.
With respect to appointments in for
eign service, Mr.. Wilson let 1t be known
that he had not yet given them definite
consideration. He had been shown a
newspaper dispatch concerning the ap-
pointment of new ambassador to
Mexico.
I have not any more idea who Is go
ing to be ambassador to Mexico than I
have as to who will be the first man I'll
greet when I reach Washington" he
said.

President Taft has had in mind for
some time past the purpose Of issuing
an executive order for the establish
ment of civil government in the Canal
Zone, and Of appointing Col. Goethals
the engineer in charge Of the work, to
the governorship; but it is now under
stood that this purpose has been aban-
doned. The reason for the abandon
ment Of the purpose is fear that the
Democrats of the senate will refuse to
confirm Col. Goethals. The presidents
fears are well founded. The Demo
Gratis consider that since they have
won the control of the government, it
is up to them to take charge Of the

Speaking of the cost Of keeping the
cows Mr.. Carson said 1t amounted to
practically nothing. He did not give
the animals anything except what was
produced on the farm, only some meal
and hulls, for which he exchanged seed,
and he did not pay out any money. He
gave his cows plenty of green stuff
along with fairly regular ration of
shucks. and taken altogether he would
be perfectly satisfied to put the value Of
the manure from the cows against the
value Of all the hay. roughness, meal
and hulls they had eaten.
Mr.. Carson said that a careful record
Of the products Of his cows showed
that during one month single cow
yielded him the sum Of S12.15..

The idea of sending a demon

The idea of sending a demon
train through the middle
west and northwest right after the
State fair has been abandoned
through lack of cooperation on
the part Of the northern railroads,
which cooperation was expected
as a business proposition.
No concessions whatever we're
made and the expense of operating
this train at full rates is so large
that the idea had to be abandoned.
While the trip is off, there is no
reason that it should be abandoned.
The committees ought to be con-
tinued, The States suggests and
urged to begin an educational
campaign to impress on every
parish the benefit to be derived
from this practical means of adver-
Using the resources of Louisiana
in those sections from which the
best classes of immigrants come.
A fund can be gradually raised to
send the train on its mission next
year. By that time the northern
roads may see the enterprise in a
different light. But if they are
still blind to their own interests
and Indifferent to the development
Of the South, the execution Of the
Idea may be considered profitable
even at a considerably higher cos'
than was figured on for this years
train.
The canal is to be opened mex
year, and there is bound to pro
nounced movement of homcscekcr'
to the South. Louisiana coult

priation to insure the success 0

Northern magazines. and a chi d

many admirers in the South.
The book contains over one hun

1t is the first child book of wild

A book of verse, the work OF
Ella Bentley Arthur, one Of Lou
isiana's best known writer's OF
poetry. was issued this month 10y
the Century Company of New
York. The book is called Sonny
Boys Day at the Zoo," and is a
collection of rhymes and really re-
markable photographs of animals
which will make a strong appeal
to grown-ups as we'll as little
folks.
Mrs. Arthur will be widely re-
membered as the former Miss Ella
Bentley, daughter of l.. E. Bent
ley, founder of the Donaldsonville
Chief and present special deputy
collector of United States customs
at New Orleans, ana the late Ella
Donnaud Bentl y. whose charming
poetic talents Mrs. Arthur SO
happily inherits.
The verses for Sonny Boys
Day at the Z)U" was written by
Mrs. Arthur during the time Of
her residence in New York city
following her marriage, and the
little hero Of the hook is her sma.I
son, Stanley, Jr., who is shown il
company with. and before the
cages OF many of the animals OF
the Zoo. The series of unusua
photographs used in illustration
were taken bv his father, Stanley
