Hon. Clark Howell Gracefully
SIde-Steps His ninsnan,
DIR. Nance

T HE highest and most honorable position
on earth, perhaps, is that of Member Of
the National Democratic Executive Com
mittee.
The highest and most honorable man who
ever held that position is, perhaps, the Hon
orabe Clark Howell
The highest and most honorable daily
paper that ever was published on this planet
IS, perhaps The Atlanta Constitution; and by
a slngularly fortunate combination and con-
junction of the heavenly consultations, the
Honorable Clark edits-or is supposed to
edit-that most honorable Of papers, at the
same time that he furnishes light, equipoise,
and wisdom to the National Democratic Ex~
ecutive Committee.
Now, as reasonable man, you cannot deny
that a person occupying two positions of
pre-eminence, affecting, to sensible degree,
the destinies of this, the greatest of all Re-
publics known to mankind, must be prudent
In the exercise of his functions, powers, and
prerogatives.
He is to be commended in the warmest
terms when he emulates the precept and
example Of our great and good Chief Magis
trate, Professor Woodpile Wilson.
When the Professor tells the beligerent
nations of the effete Old World that they willy
be held to ''strict accountability if they step
on orr coms, it is nothing more than the
loyalty of clansman to his chief, that the
Hon. Clark Howell should make a brave
display of his bristles
When the Professor quits seeing red and
goes to seeing white, announcing that there is
such thing as being ''too proud to fight"
the Hon. Clark Howell dutifully changes
cars and does it so softly that the one con-
ductor hardly misses him, and the other isn't
sure he has found him.
Then when Professor Wilson goes to the
annual banquet of the Grid-iron Club, to
perform the sometimes difficult feat of ''strad-
ding" the Hon. Clark Howell ''gets him."
and he also straddles, although his fat, short
legs were not designed with any par lcular
reference to the part
Professor Wilson worded his straddle with
his usual academic felicity: he said-touching
his own gallant breast lightly, but FIRMLY
''Valor is self-respecting. Valor is circum-
spect. Valor strikes only when it is right to
strike Valor withhOds itself from all small
implications whatever th0t NAV mean.
Although the Hon. Clark H0well-who has
lots Of sense, both common and uncommon
must have been thoroughly disguised with the
various verbal juggeries, by means of which
WoodBie Wilson has endeavored to convince
himself and the country that, during the last
twelve months. he has not boxed the compass
with his imbecilities concerning our foreign
affairs. the Hon. Clark clings to the National
Democratic Executive Committee, clngs to
the tattered robe of his chief, pathetically
tries to display the valor which is full of
self-respect, the valor which is sagaclously
circumspect, the vaIor which strikes only
when it is right to strike, the valor which
withholds itself from all small implications.

That grand old patriot, Patrick Henry, one
night returning from the Virginia convention

Republic west of us will have it's trial period it's

SOME CABINET HISTORY

Sioux City Journal.-The ascension
of Newton Baker to the secretaryship
of war marked the third change in the
Wilson cabinet in three years-or the
fourth, il the service of Gen. Scott as
secretary Of war ad interim is taken
into consideration-but Wilson has
had more success in keeping his cab
met intact than has befallen the aver
age president.
On a guess-what one Of our twenty
seven presidents made the most
changes among his cabinet advisers?
Correct T~Wenty-nine different cab
met officers saw service under Roose-
welt. However, twenty-five served UNI
der Grant, t~wenty-three under Tyler
and twenty under Jackson. SO far VIII

fourteen, and his original cabinet vas
larger than hat Of any other presi.
dent.
Whatever distinction may lie in be-
ing the only president that got through
a four-year term without making a
change in his cabinet goes to Pierce.
The first Harrison cabinet remained
intact during his term of service, but
he was president for only one month.
Taylor also kept his cabinet intact,
but he was president only IN year
and four months. Garfield, too, got
along without making any changes, but
he was president only six months and
a half.
John Quincy Adams got along with
his cabinet the best of any of the real
early day presidents. He made only
one change.
OF latter day presidents, Roosevelt
and Taft present the most striking con
trast. Taft made only two changes in
his cabinet-one in the war depart
ment and n in the department Of the
ture was the only department in which
Roosevelt did not make at least one
change. He had three secretaries of
state, three secretaries of the treas
ury, three secretaries of war, two sec
retaries of the interior, six secretaries
of the navy, five postmastegs general.
three attorneys general ana three sec
retaries Of commerce. Not all the
changes in the Roosevelt cabinet, how
ever, represented disagreements. There
were several shifts from one depart
ment to the other.
Tyler and Grant seem to have had
about as much trouble getting set"
as any of the presidents. Tyler kept
none Of Harrison's advisers any length

He is g friendly good natured sort of fellow and he believes, or did believe. the whole world honest.

They are the same identical MeXicans, who as related in Saturdays issue, en- deavored to get away from Marshal PeytOn after he had arrested them in Tempe, but who are now in the local bastile awaiting trial.
