FOR MORE HARMONY
President Said to Contemplate
Change in Custom.
Ray Discontinue Present Plan Of Hav'
ing Heads Of Government Depart
ments Make Public Reports
Before Congress Convenes.

1t has been stated, with much plau-
sibility, that President Wilson will
direct the dscontinuance Of the Gus
tom of having the reports of the heads
of the government departments made
public before congress conyenes. His
intention is explained as that of reyis-
ing the various recommendations Of
the cabinet members, so that the de-
tails will dovetail into harmonious
policy. It will be remembered that
Postmaster Hitchcock caused MIR.
Taft much more than a bad quarter
of an hour" as the French say, by
inserting in his annual report the rec
ommendation that the government buy
all the telegraph and telephone lines
in the country. 1t required the presi-
dent ito scorn delights and live labor
ious days" for time while trying to
separate the administration from the
acknowledgements as to that particu-
lar suggestion.
The reported plan is to be COM
mended. These departments are
executive and the president alone
should control the account given of
the state of the Union and the recon-
mendations to promote the general
welfare There will be no such sub
serviency of a cabinet member as will
prevent him from having in some
manner his own particular views
brought before congress and he can
carry his advocacy of them to any
limit he desires. Several presiden-
tial advisers have resigned, ostensibly
because they could not reconcile their
policies with those of their chief, but
usually their next act was to become
presidential candidates.
The president is responsible for the
conduct of all the departments and it
is his policy which should govern.
The English cabinet theory is precise
ly the same, that of united action. But
what is the largest factor in enlisting
public favor for this reform is its
trend toward the adoption of nation
al budget system. The only objec-
ton to the plan of preliminary re-
vision of these reports might be the
fear that an executive would suppress
data which congress should know. 1t
will be remembered that when, dur.
ing more partisan period, the Office
of the comptroller of the currency was
created, the term was made five years,
to carry it beyond presidential term,
and his report was made submissible
directly" to congress. But this sup.
preston by an executive is no more
to be apprehended than that by a de.
partment head.

BEST FOR RUSTIC FENCES
Olive Wood Is the Material That
Should Be Employed Wherever
II ls Possible.

In building so-called rustic fences
too free use is made of eucalyptus
poles, wood that is too hopelessly
straight for any rustic fence except
of strictly formal design. One of the
most satisfactory rough fences known
to the City Beautiful man is made
of olive wood. In design, coloring,
and general harmony with It's rustic
surroundings and setting it is unsur-
passed. Olive wood is an ideal ma
terial for any and all work of rustic
character. On the other hand,
eucalyptus poles are ideal for supports
for bridges, as stout poles of this ma
terial may be had of great strength
and of considerable length. Across
such stringers could be nailed a floor
impose OF smaller poles about two
ches MA diameter. Any superstruc-
ire deemed nee 3ssry could then be

Encouraging Shipping.

1t was the Republican policy to ex-
pend millions upon millions of dollars
In the building of dreadnaughts, cruis-
ers, destroyers, submarines, ETC., to
keep our navy on war footing while
at the same time maintaining anti
quated protective regulations that pre-
vented the adequate manning of the
battleships or the possible upbuilding
of an international merchant marine
All this has been changed by the Will
son administration. The government
is no longer run for the exclusive adj
vantage of the Steel trust and the
Shipping trust. A native American
shipper can buy steamer where he
can get it cheapest and sail it under
the stars and stripes. A native Amer.
lean youth can enlist in the navy with
certainty of fair treatment and the
hope of advancement if he be minded
to deserve it.
Things are different. There will be
no future difficulty in manning our
warships. The applicants for enlist
ment are now largely in excess Of
legislative provision for maintenance
during the prevalence of peace with
other nations, and the re-establish-
ment of an adequate merchant marine
is going forward as never before since
the Civil war.
