WILSON'S TROUBLES

Mr. Wilson faces many problems
which cannot be postponed for four
years. Something must be definitely
done about the Mexican mess. The
trainmen wage question must be set
tied. All the vexatious controversies
with the European belligerents must
be somehow settled. We have diplo-
matte troubles with Japan, Russia and
Colombia. The Danish West Indies
deal is in suspense. The problem of
foreign trade remains for solution.
The president is committed to the
Webb bill, which would exempt the
foreign trade of our corporations from
the harsh restrictions of the Sherman
act. We believe that its enactment is
essential to successful American COM
petition in foreign trade. Some Of the
hasty legislation of the last Congress
must be perfected. The reserve act
must be modified, to eliminate the
dangers Mr.. Warburg has pointed out.
Then there is the duty Of surprising
importance-economic preparedness of
the United States for the terrific trade
struggle following the European war.
We are hopeful, now that Mr.. Wilson
has accomplished his reelection, that
he may show broader and more
statesmanlike spirit. He should select
a stronger cabinet. He should call on
the minority party for assistance in
solving grave problems. They should
be willing to render all the aid in
their power. There has been popu-

PREPAREDNESS IN MINING

Washington, Nov. ga plea for
preparedness at coal and metal mines,
so that if a disaster comes and i'm
prisons many miners the officials may
have definite plan for action in saw
ing life is outlined in a report just
issued by the Bureau Of Mines OF
department Of the Interior and which
is being sent to practically all of the
mines in the United States. The Bu-
reau of Mines has aided in rescue
work at many mine explosions and
has been instrumental in saving the
lives of many men, but in almost
every instance where there has been
great disaster the bureaus officials
say they have found great confusion
prevailing with much valuable time
wasted before proper rescue organi-
cation could be effected. There has
also been serious absence of the
equipment necessary for the recovery
of the men entombed. Lack Of such
preparedness, the bureau says, no
doubt has often resulted in an unne-
cessary loss of life among the i'm
prisoned men and also among the
rescue fores.

Still there are feats he can not show;
Fer rosebud gratis a peach won't

Should bear our name on ev'ry breeze

THE INDIANA VOTE

The candidacy of ex-Gov. Hanly on
the Prohibition ticket was not factor
in the result in Indiana. The Prohi-
bition vote in Hoosierdom four years
ago was 1920. This year Hanly got
only 1850 from his former constitu-
ents; and the State showed consistent
Republican pluralities, thanks to the
intelligent and efficient organization
of the party there, aided, of course,
by the candidacy of Mr.. Fairbanks.

MANY CABINET CHANGES

Washington, Nov. ga favorite
sport in Washington just now is the
remaking of the Presidents Cabin
ct. 1t seems to be taken for granted
that there will be several changes in
the personal of Mr.. Wilson's official
family after the fourth of March and
speculation has already marked
Messrs. McAdoo, Gregory and Hous-
ton as certain to retire from office.
MIR. McAdoo is said to contemplate
entering banking in New York, which
city, also, is reportd to have enticed
Mr.. Gregory with a chance to asso-
ciate himself with big law firm. Mr..
Houston is said to be going back to
his place in st. Louis as chancellor of
Washington University, where vice.
chancellor has been holding down the
job as against his chiefs return. Mr.
Redfeld, too, is thought to have out
lived his usefulness as Secretary of
Commerce, though his future is unde-
cided by any gossip now afoat here;
while Josephus Daniels retention as
head of the Navy Department is the
dark secret of life at the capital.
The new Cabinet is expected to show
a wider geographic distribution than
the present one, wherein the South
and New York occupy dominating po-
sitions. Mr.. Wilson was the first
President in many years who did not
have a New England man at his coun-
ell table, and it is expected that this
section will now receive recognition.
Senator Hollis of New Hampshire,
has been suggested in this connection,
and the fact that his state went for
Wilson gives some force to the idea.
But, inasmuch as New Hampshire
has a Republican Governor who would
name a Republican successor to Mr..
Hollis in the case of his translation to
the Cabinet, it is unlikely that the
Granite State will have such an
honor, even though the Senate still
has a Democratic majority of twelve.
President Harry Garfield Of Williams
College is looked upon here as much
more likely to be struck by Cabinet
lightning if Yankee is to be taken.
Mr.. Garfield, though a nominal Re-
publican, supported Mr.. Wilson, whose
son-in-law, Francis B. Sayre, is Mr..
Garfeld's assistant and might be in
line for promotion to the presidency
of the college in case his superior
should get portfolio. This consider
alton may not deter the President
from selecting Mr.. Garfield
Senator Walsh of Montana Is
thought 10 be a probable Cabinet
member as a representative of the
West, and in his case there is no stu
alton such as initiates against Sena-
tor Hollis. Senator Walsh was in
charge of the Chicago headquarters
of the Democracy in the campaign
and, like others of the faithful, he
doubtless feels that he should have a
reward. Henry Morgenthau, also, is
in the class of deserving Democrats"
who labored in the vineyard during
the recent period of harvesting Dem
ocratic votes. Mr.. Morgenthau is be-
heved to have home kind of a. promise
outstanding from the President fol-
lowing his resignation of the Con-
stantinople embassy to take up cam
paign work, and the wise ones look
for him to realize on his expectations.

Ye've heard about this Burbank man,

Take vines-the one of jest pertaters
And some Of sure enuff termaters,
And git 'em mixed and crowd to-

Sos men like me don't "savey"

Tho menny think they're mostly either
Tho menny think they're misty either
And prob'ly grow off one another
So blank it frineds, I'd far much

And on the tops one Of termaters
IL CROWN frum the same ole roots
A doublin' up kind natures froots.
Them's science plants az understand
Are beatin' things in fairly land,
Pm 'splanin' them to common men,
And these here plants wuz one till

Thet science chap begun to do
Hiz wizard stunts and make one two.
No, Sir, Pm not the least way

Them plants jist grow like natures

With booze, and 'crousin' on 'bust,"
Till figgers smash from bad to wust,
Sos two is one and one is two:
Them's which, not me, thet's gone

I'll quit this muss; and forth perceed
To 'splain about another breed
OF stunnin' things, as p'raps you

He's made a suffrin' nature grow;

But, well, on to an apricot

IL sure the "tip" fer evry man.
His names charm beyound the sea,
Tiz bloomin' in each plumcot tree,
And science men in wonder raise
Their voices loud and sound his praise.
But who afar haz heard of us?

Or fired shot from blunderbuss

And mind, when she wuz single wuntz
Her name wuz Daisy Claybank Plum;
And she had worked at science some.

"You luv A. Berry Cross: My Plum
You are; so lets git married some,
Then we fer Parson straightway sent,
On two "hoss" science ventures bent.

And show it great in offspring shoots,
