The Attorney Generalship.

Much curiosity attaches to the filing
of the vacancy soon to occur IN the
Department of Justice. Attorney
General Gregory will retire in few
days, and the President is expected
TO name the new man soon after land
inc.
In his cabinet appointments the
President has shown small regard for
section or political pull Mr.. Bryan's
case is an exception. He had d cou
siderable pull" at home and else
where. and the President needed it in
inaugursting his polieies-tariff re-
vision in particular. But when Mr..
Bryan retired, the President namod
for the vacancy man without a po
iitical following. Mr.. Lansing. who
had given his whole time to the law,
was. indeed, almost without political
identity
Mr.: MeAdoo was but little known in
New York politics. and Mr.. Redfeid
had served but d term or two in the
House Mr.. Burleson had served sew
eral terms in the House. but Texas,
overwhelmingly democratic, needed no
braeing politically. Mr.. McReynolds,
a Kentuckian, was unknown in the
politics of that state, as was Mr.. Hous-
ton in the politics Of Missouri. Mr..
Wilson had been a labor leader in
Pennsylvania, but never influential in
politics.
Mr.. Daniels, as the editor of leading
newspaper in North Carolina, was a
man Of consequence politically, with
close relations with Mr. Bryan. Judge
Garrison owed his appointment more to
his personal intimacy with the Presi-
dent than to any political strength he
had at home. 80
When Mr.. MeReynolds was appoint
ed a member Of the Supreme Court he
was succeeded in the attorney general
snip ny iht. ASAdAf
though Texas was already represented
in the cabinet. When Judge Garrison
resigned, he was succeeded by Mr..
Baker. who brought no political
strength with him. And recently Mr..
McAdoo has been succeeded in the
Treasury Department by Mr.. Glass of
Virginia, q state unshakable in it's sup
port of the democracy.
It is suggested that the President
may 60 to Massachusetts, Tor his man.
New England is unrepresented in the

publican division caused by clashing
of personal ambitions, and not an ex-
hibition of democratic strength. The
Bostonian thought TO be in the Presi
dents mind is a lawyer Of high repute,
but has no pull" as a party man.

a definition of the new Polish state,
for IL does not affect the question of
the outlet to the Baltic at Danzig, at

major issue in the Polish question be,

photographic maps denote major
ity of Polish inhabitants in the north

this outlet to the sea are based, there
fore, upon stronger ground than eco
nomic necessity and will be urged
vigorously at Paris.
A grant of these claims will neces-
sarily isolate East Prussia from the
body of Germany, but the Poles con
tend that the question should be set
tied regardless of this consideration.
There is. moreover, an urgent political
reason for recognizing Danzig and the
lower Vistula as Polish. and establish
ing the new state firmly with a sea
outlet. This would effectuaily inter.
pose barrier between Germany and
Russia, which is likely to be Of value
in maintaining the peace of Europe.

Cunning Accident Barely Averted.
An accident was barely averted a
few days ago, while cunning for rab-
bits in the woods near their home,
when a cartridge in the gun of Elmer
c. Bates was accidentally discharged,
blowing off the stock of the gun held
upright on the ground by the hand of
his grandson, Elmer Hammell, son of
Harry Y. Hammell, who was also in
the party. He was near by at the
time, while his son was occupying a
squatting position only a few feet from
his grandfather, who laid his gun on
the ground to light his pipe. AS he
did sc the cartridge exploded, empty
ing its contents in the direction of the
younger Hammell. The load passed
just under his hand, fight in front of
his stomach. One shot grazed his boot
let. The rest demolished the wooden
part of his gun. Mr.. Bates cannot ac-
count for the accidental discharge of
his fowling piece, but thinks the trig-
ger must have caught in a twig or
piece of brush as he laid his gun down.
The firing was SO sudden and startling
that for an instant after the shooting,
the three men didn't know which gun
of the three "went off,.
