Time for Lighter Things.

At one time in the past-it is not
necessary to say when-the cabinet as
sembled, and the ostensible purpose of
the gathering was the discussion of af-
fairs of profound interest and impor-
lance to the nation. The tariff. foreign
relations. finance and all the various
federal activities presumably were be-
ing considered. Presumably, it will be
noted. The time was late summer. Most
of the men had removed their coats and
some had even taken off collars and
ties, because the day was warm, as late
summer days often are in Washington.
But President and cabinet officers,
after all, are human, with masculinely
human minds and ideas. At that par
ticular time one big question occupied
the mind of nine out of ten men-and
a great many women as well-in the
country. The newspapers were devot-
ing columns of space to consideration
Of this momentous topic: 1t was dis
cussed in front-page stories and in edi-
torial columns. And that President and
his cabinet advisers, being human and
American, devoted seventy minutes of
an hour-and-a-half session to a most
serious discussion of the big question:
Would the American League champions
be able to defeat their National League
opponents in the world series and win
the world championship?

Air of Comradeship.

There is a prevailing air of comrade-
shin about those cabinet meetings held
in the White House. The awe with
which the average American citizen
looks upon his high executive and gov
eminent officers is entirely lacking
among these men themselves. The
members of the cabinet and the Presi-
dent are men-great big boyish men
and friends of the best sort. In their
deliberations with the President they
agree and disagree, and sometimes
their disagreements bring on sessions
lasting for hours, but as a general rule,
ii can be said, cabinet meetings. as a
whole, are marked with spirit of
help and be helped" There have been
radical dissensions in cabinet meetings
brought on by personal difference as to
policy, but they are SO few and far be-
tween that they become vital points in
American history.
But, as a whole, there assemblies a
group of men who accept each other as
bully pals, and this feeling marks prac-
tically all deliberations. The manner
in which they call one another by their
first names, joke, laugh and discuss the
common things of life along with the
policies of state. bear out this conclu-
sion

UNCLE SAM. Esq.
Presidents and Cabinets.
By Oliver Owen Kuhn.
Copyright 1879

A President of the United states was
At a long table Uttered with books anu
documents. Around the broad mahog-
any board sat or Iounged group OF
men. Before them also were plies OF
ominous looking manuscripts. The reg
ular meeting of the cabinet was being
held and the policies affecting various
departments of the executive branch
of the government were being dis
cussed, debated and definite conclusions
arrived at that the interests OF the
great commonwealth might be preserved
and promoted. 1t was work shop.
To the momentary observer there
came the thought of a manufacturihis =,
plant. The foreman was consulting nus
workmen as to the utilization o! ma
chinery at hand and the installation OF
new appliances which would sfeatiy
facilitate the output of the concern. AS
the observers eyes fell on the Presi-
dent of the United States there came
the thought of a skilled mechanic turn
ing out with extreme experiences the
most delicate hand-wrought tools es-
sentiaI to the furtherance OF a great
branch of science. This artisan turned
TO specialists for advice. And as the
foreman of any great manufacture
seeks and trusts to the advice OF his
men. and as the skilled mechanic
weighs the thoughts of others. Just so
does the President of the United states
.ltrect the shin of state.

Constipation is a disease that affects
the Old young and middle-aged, and

temporary while they shock the sys-

feet safety for the tiniest babe and that
is equally effective for the strongest
constitution is found in the cOmbina-
ton Of DR.. Caldwelrs Syrup Pepsin and
sold in drug stores everywhere for fifty
cents a bottle. This is an ideal house
hold remedy and should be in every

DISCLOSE PLOT
To KILL MONK
Cars Adviser Working for
Peace With Germany Says
Norway Report.

New York, May 1.-THE report re-
ceived Thursday by wireless from Ber-
lin through the Overseas News agency
that Gregory Rasputin. the Russian
monk who is reputed to have welded
a powerful mystic influence over en-
pcror Nicholas. has been assassinated.
il coincident with the receipt here bv
the Associated Press of mail advices
from its correspondent at Christiania.
Norway. disclosing details of a plot
TO murder Rasputin.
They were revealed by Heliodorus,
the mad monk of Tsaritsyn, a fantastic
leader of the masses Of the VoIga
region, who has figured prominently
in the Rasputin case
HeIiOdOrus Driven From Russfn.
It was disclosed that Heliodorus.
who disappeared from Russia some
time ago, is a refugee in Christiania.
Although once on the best of terms
with Rasputin. he finally turned
AGAINST him and denounced him as
welding a criminal influence and un-
dertook to warn the imperial court
Of this dangerous flend."
The result OF this attack on the en-
peror's favorite was that HelioGorus
himself was cast into a monastery
prison from which he was released
only after having renowned the pro-
fession Of a monk. In order to avoid
further persecution he escaped to
Sweden in a wOman's garb in August
1914, and is now living quietly in
Christiania-
Working for Separate Peace.
According to Heliodorus, a repre-
sentative Of the Russian minister of
the interior, KhvOstOff, arrived in
Christiania last January and proposed
that HeliOdorus become party TO a
conspiracy to assassinate the monk.
KhvOstoffs envoy is said to have de-
clared that Rasputin was working for
a separate peace between Germany and
Russia and being bought by wealthy
Jews. had secured for the Jews great
contracts for supplies for the army"

Claim That Mexicans From

Men Employed.

Between 20 and % union Iaborers
employed by J. E. Morgan on the con-
struction OF the new 500. 900 court-
house, walked out at 10 o'clock Fri
day morning. Refusal Of the contrac-
tor to dismiss non-union brfcklayers.
stone workers and terra Gotta layers
is given as the cause.
The walkout came as a result Of sew
eral weeks Of negotiations between the
Building Trades Council and the brick
layers, masons and plasterers. and Mr..
Morgan, according to the statement Of
w J. Moran of the Labor Advocate.
MT. Morgan is refusing to work anv
hut non-union men and Mexicans as
bricklayers," he said. when repre-
sentatives Of the Building Trades Coun-
ell, carpenters, painters, plasterers, and
iron workers saw the superintendent
Friday morning he was not able to give
an answer and when at 10 o'clock no
answer was forthcoming the men were
ordered out Shortly after 10 o'clock
he appeared. but the men had already

Open Shop.
C. W. Green, superintendent for Mr..
Morgan, stated that he was unable to
find Mr.. Morgan and could not give
a definite answer. when they called
upon me this morning and told them I
would be back at 1915. I was back,
but the men had already been called
off. We have contended all along for
an omen shop, and we offered this
morning to put some union briclSlay-
ers to work We have employed union
labor on all work except the brick,
stone and terra Gotta work Some Of
the men left their work this morning
in decidedly unfinished condition and
il will be necessary to employ more
non-union labor to finish up this work"
The matter of the employment OF
non-union labor is said not to be the
only complaint against Mr.. Morgan. II
is claimed by some labOring men that
MeXicans living in Juarez are employed
on the work and that this is contrary
to Morgan's contract which, il is al
legged, provides that only American citi-
zens shall be employed.
