In all cabinet changes that have
been made there never has been a
time when the secret was so well kept
as that In regard to the resignation
Of Secretary McAdoo from the treas
ury department. From the time a
president appoints his cabinet until
the end Of his term there are constant
rumors of cabinet changes and 1t has
been the habit Of many Washington
correspondents when having nothing
else to do to write q cabinet story.
But no one ever surmised or suggest
ed that Secretary McAdoo was going
to resign, save when the suggestion
was made that he should be q candi-
date for governor Of New York. What
ever discussions may have taken place
and however many men may have
known OF the proposed resignation OF
Secretary McAdoo, not hint escaped,
even In a confidential way, so that il
could be whispered about from person
to person. It ia another evidence OF
the success Of the president In keeping
secret such things as he does not wish
to become public.

People outside of Washington do not
care very much what happens in regard
TO the organization Of committees In
congress, and so to them the Norris
resolution Is not important. This res
Olution Is intended to defeat the pow
Gr which now exists In coterie Of old
senators because they are at the top
OF and control most Of the important
committees Of the senate. 1t is rather
surprising that new senators, and
those who have long served on COM
1nittees Of little or no Importance, have
allowed the good places to be monopo-
aized by the older senators, but that Is
One of the traditions Of the senate.
The Norris resolution, In proposing to
distribute these good committee places
In more equitable manner may be
the germ OF revolution. However, 1t
does not make very much difference
about committee assignments, for a
Hnan who can handle himself we'll In
debate can take care Of oil the legls-
Aation he wants on the floor Of the SEN
ate and is beholden to no committee
assignment for his position In that
body.

During the day Of the adjournment
there was some discussion about a
holiday recess and the necessity for
not wasting any time with an adj
journment, in order to avoid an extra
session. Leader Kitchin took occasion
TO remark that, III we are dillgent,
work hard, rush the appropriation
bills, we may avoid an extra session"
At the same time great many meH
In congress doubt whether 1t will be
possible to avoid an extra session.

Washington. The contest is already
on between those who will be classed
as militarists on one hand and paclfsts
On the other. Now that the war is
ended 1t is quite likely that a great
many people who were for peace, but
supported the war because the country
engaged In 1t, will array themselves In
favor Of disarmament and for reducing
military expenditures to the limit, No
doubt they will be called "pacifsts. I"
but that epithet win not carry with ii
the stigma that was attached while
the country was at war. If every man
who wants to reduce the size Of the
army and cut down military expendl-
4nres is called a pacifist, they viii have
= pretty geed-sized party BY that name
In a few months.
The militarists will point out how
much quicker and easier 1t would have
been to win the war If the United
States had been fully prepared and
equipped In the beginning. No doubt
a great deal will be said about lack
of ordnance, munitions, arms and 9TH
er war materials generally, as well as
the lack Of trained men, and these win
be laid down as arguments for larg-
CT military establishment In the future.
The other side, however, will insist
that the United States went in and
won the war in is months and that
II was with comparatively little diff
Guilty that an army was raised,
equipped, trained, and put into the
Held. And so the fight win be con-
Quoted, but the prospects are that
congress will not favor q very large
military establishment.

his chemical and pure food researches
the other day long enough to remark:
I'VE have just passed through the
most marvellous four years the world
has ever known. What has happened
in that time is weIl-nigh unbelievable.
II, In June, 1914, a man with a gift Of
prophecy had foretold what was to

him. It would seem Incredible If we

ayers. However, this was one Of the
things In which the president could
not have his way, and congress fixed
a limit of Fl months after the close
Of the war for the return of the rail
roads. A shorter limit applies to tele-
graph and telephone lines. Now, these
public utilities will 60 back to their
owners unless there is legislation, and
the attempt to pass Legislation con-
tinuing government control will be one
of the big features Of the next con-
gress And what Is more, 1t will not
be a party fight, although the Repub-
licans viii be largely arrayed against
government ownership. There are
quite number Of Republicans, who
we're formerly known as progressiyes.
who are expected to support govern
rnent control or ownership. AT the
same time there are a great many
Democrats who baked at the idea Of
government ownership Of public util-
tiles. Most Of these are from the
Southern states and they still cling to
doctrines which were popular In their
party In former days.
It Is expected that the contest will
be brought on long before the time ex-
pires when the various public utilities
are to be returned to their owners. Al
ready resolutions on the subject have
been introduced and they will be made
the subject of discussion, and no doubt
bills will follow which will bring the
matter to head soon.
