NAMING A CABINET.

Unless our government is to be a
government by one man, as President
Wilson has sought to make it, the
cabinet is n of its highly important
features. 1t is at least the desire of
most people who give the subject
thought that the president shall sur
round himself with men of patriotism
experience and wisdom who will be
his real assistants and advisers. MI.
Wilson has sought to have at his Ell
bow men who would do as Re told
them. and do it without argument or
question. Consequently. he has had a
cabinet Of ~mediocrities rather than of
statesmen, and the country has SUI
fered.
In recognition Of the importance Of
the cabinet there has come from some
very respectable quarters the sug-
gestion that for the information Of
the public the two presidential cam
didates this year now name the men
whom they propose to place In cabinet
positions, the argument being that as
'aiS oSiS<LAOh VI q SdUllel ID one OIL
the great tests Of a presidents quail
ties, the people will be able to vote
intelligently for Harding or
Cox II they know what cabinet selec-
tions either Of these men will make

Thus far the invitation hos not
been accepted. Nor il it likely to be.
And there are excellent . why
it should not be.
The conditions governing the adj
visibility OF certain men for cabinet
positions nay easily change entirely
between the summer Of 1880 and the
spring Of 1924. During the campaisn
the presidential candidates are busy

mands that they shall be busy. In
Ill probability they are giving some
attention in what little time is at

he said he vas to start at once. But
if Markham doesn't do something

its all very we'll to say Markham must

know what a value Stone places on

have been destroyed. AS you very
we'll know. Archer, he really deduced

nit he's unusually clever in that

CITY COUNCIL TO
CONSIDERL0W
ELECTRIC RATE
Committee Of the Whole Will
Thrash Out Commissioner
Ure's Proposed Ordinance
Monday. Morning.

The city council committee Of the
whole tomorrow will consider COM
missioner Ure's ordinance, which
contemplates reduction of electric
light and power rates, lowering the
existing maximum rate from 8 to )
cents per kilowatt and making cut
in few of the rates below the maxi
mum.
The Nebraska Power company has
been endeavoring TO induce the city
council to grant an increase of rates
which would yield an approximate
increase of 20 per cent of last years
gross earnings. The company in
sisted before the council committee
of the whole last week that, it closed
last year and several previous years
with deficits and must have addi-
tional revenue to maintain its stand
ard of service.
Several of the city commissioners
yesterday intimated that the light
company may now drop its applica-
ton for an increase of rates if the
council will administer a sleeping
potion to Mr.. Ure's rate-redhction
measure. Mayor Smith stated that
he is not yet satisfied withNthe COM
pany's showing to back up its request
for higher rates. If the company
should have an increase, the mayor
contended, the increase should be
made in the rates now charged to
large consumers, some of whom are
paying as low as l.2 cents per kilo-
watt for electrical power.
