OTHER CABINET CHANGES

council James Madison as secretary of State and for Secretary of the Treasury
 he appointed Albert Gallatin.
 | Jefferson was the first to call cabinet
 meetings. He met with his advisers and laid executive business before them. His predecessors communicated with the hold CTS of cabinet portfolios In writing. Jef- ferson also changed the order of thints by sending written messages to Congrets, method which President Wilson aban- doned for the first time in a century when
 he began delivering his messages in per 1 son at the capitol.
 l. It is coincidence of history that the two strongest, most bellicose and threat
 ening messages ever sent to foreign pow7C
 CTS by the United States were largely in l spired and written by secretaries of state. This is in striking contrast to the
 present situation, when Mir. Bryan, as Secretary of States, disapproving of the I firm character of the Presidents conn
 municaton to Germany, resigned rather than affix his name to the note. 1 The messages were James Monroe's
 enunciation of his famous Monroe doc
 trine and Grover Cleveland's message to Great Britain on Venezuela
 l In the earlier days of the republic it was the practice of presidents to re-
 appoint and continue cabinet officers. It
 also happened that social struggles caused petty annoyances and cabinet shifts. | The Jackson administration was one in
 which this struggle took place. but tte changes were not so important as to De dignifed by place in enduring history.
 President Tyler had as shifting a cabinet
 as any in the history of the United Stated
 aside from that of President Roosevelt. Tyler, who ran for vice president with William Henry Harrison, was supported by the whigs because he was an anti Jackson democrat. When he assumed the presidency at Harrison's death he was left stranded and alone and was known
 as ''the President without a party His cabinet officers were changed fre-' quently to fit new political line-ups. :. President Rcose cit holds the rccs I'd for cabinet officers. He 'nade frequent
 changes and made appointments of tenn porary character.
 Secretary of War Bels1ap. in the Grant administration, was the single cabinet uf- ficei fmpeached by Congress.
 The only Secretary of State ever dis missed was Timothy Pickering of Massa- chusetts. He held over from previous administration. President John Adams | called for his resignation on May 10, 1900. When 1t was not forthcoming he was dis
 missed from office on May 12
 But one cabinet shift in the Taft ad-
 ministration was of grave political con-
 sequence to the President. The charges against Secretary of the Interior Richard
 Ballinger were the ultimate cause of the
 Washington mans retirement from the ca binet.
 l The fact that President Taft stood
 firmly behind Ballinger while the politi- clans who later formed the nucleus of
 tho progressive party opposed him caused
 many disturbances of political friendship6
 which might have given Mir Taft smootH CT sailing to the renominstion of his parH
 for the presidency.

From the Washington Post.

From the NaSnlnStOn POSl.
 HEAR was expressed in many guar ters that in Europe the resignation
 of William Jennings Bryan as Sec retary of State would be looked upon iron the European viewpoint as what is knowr among the constitutional and absolute monarchies of that continent as minis terial crisis.'' Europeans do not grasp the difference between the cabinet of a President of tho United States and the ministry of crown. The ministry in England, for ex ample, is the government The resigna tion, dismissal or repudia tion of a minis ter or the premier of that ministry meant the repudiation of the existing government and command for a return to the people
 for a new commission of governing power.
 In the United States the cabinet of the President is a personal staff.
 , Of course. it's members are confirmed provisions to safeguard the personnel o the cabinet are made. Since 1886 there has been known what is known as tht "presidential succession act" which pro vides for the succession of the presidency l in the event of the death or removal oi the President or vice president. This act makes the Secretary of State the second alternative for the presidency should the President die in office | For the reason that the cabinet is large | ly a group of personal advisers, with de partmental duties. changes in the cabinets of presidents are not given in history as incidents of great importance. Indeed the makeup of presidential cabinet hardly figures in history, save that by contemporaries, as of vital importance to the history of presidential tenure of office.
 | The Presidents power of removal of cabinet officers has been assaied but once, and then it was the removal from the secretaryship of war of Edwin NJ Stanton that led to the unsuccessful trial of impeachment of President Andrew Johnson.

 APPLE RAISING IN GEORGIA

From the Macon News
 There are few Georgians who appreciate the extent of the apple growing indus try in their own state
 Not until recent years was 1t general ly known that the mountainous section produced apples as large, as line and as sweet as those from the Niagara belt and from the far west.
 The exhibitions at the Georgia State Fair of Rabun and other counties have taught the people of the state that Georgia is se cond to no state in the production of arples of high quality.
 But the number of apple trees in Geor- gia is really astonishing to those who have not given the subject any particu- lar thought. There are apple trees on more than 62,000 farms, aggrega5ing about S,00OtoO. Of this number near,y 1000 900 are nonbearing as vet. The cultivated plum trees number about $50, ,000 and pears are next in order with about 250d0o. Peach trees are, of course, the most numerous, as over 100000 were reported by the federal census of 1910.
 An automobile ride from Atlanta to Ma SUI va MCDOnOuSH -JdckSOn ana | or syth will show that nearly every farm along the route has from one to 101 apple trees few have orchards, and there is a particularly fine orchard this side of McDonough The idea seems 70 be to raise enough apples for home consump- tioE at least like in the olden days when every farm yielded it's quota of fruits for the delectation of the farmer and his family. But the real apple orchards of Georgia are in the mountains of the nurih- ern part, where the hllsides are covered with rows and rows of trees rema. ka ole for their prolific crops. Over 20 varieties are successfully cultivated in this section, and among them are some which compaze in size, flavor, appearance and other prize qualities with the best apples of Oregon, New York and Colorado.
 The best way to encourage apple grow ing in Georgia is to ask for Georgia 3D. pies in making purchases of this frui..

 Warn your daughters against these dances" said the Rev. John F. Boylan rector of Our Lady of the Valley church Orange, in commenting on the bishop stand. Father Boylan said the synod took the view that clergy and laity should work together in the matter of the fox trot and tango.
 To encourage clean speech among men the synod ordered that in future each church in the diocese must have a Holy Name society.

Frank Case Matter of piscussio,


 Excitement in Atlanta which followed in the wake of the communication of Leo M. Franks sentence has now about cooled down." remarked Judge Alvin M. Doug lass upon his return Friday after short visi' to the Georgia capital -'rhere Is. however, still much discus sion among the citizens Of Atlanta regard ing Governor Satons act, and I was sorry to note that even among the best people there was much criticism of his course. At the time when it became known that Frank had been taken out of the city excitement. of course, ran high, but I believe violence was contemplated only among the rough necks.
 There was some talk here in Brming- ham among people who were not we'll in formed as to the situation, alleging that unlawful use of money might have played some part in the final decision. This &C., cusation, however, was absolutely and manifestly without any foundation what ever.

Auditorium Needed

The big 1917 convention of the Ma according to reports, will come to Bir- mingham, is only another reason for Birmingham to again start work on a public auditorium" yesterday stated W. c Radcliffe, secretary of the Cham Der of Commerce.
 Birmingham needs the auditorium and the people want it, as was evi- denced in the bond election that was voted sometime ago for that purpose. As this convention will not be until two years hence, by that time there should be a long list of other big con ventions lined up for the Magic City, and an auditorium will be almost a necessity.
 T am informed that the musical con vention brings from 1000 to 2000 dele gates, being national gathering. The convention is going to be a great thing for Birmingham, especially for those in terested in music. Since the report that Birmingham had been chosen for the 1917 convention, I have heard many persons expressing praise of Miss Pru- dence Neff, who was Birminghams rep resentative. and who carried invitations from the city, the Chamber of Commerce and the Business Mems league, which were secured by the chambers con- vention committee"
