This is one of the tasks undertaken
by the Pilgrim Tercentenary Com
mission, which also proposes 70 re-
move from the canopy of the Rock the
supposed bones of some of the Pilgrims
who died in the first year after the
landing at Plymouth and 70 bury
them on Coles Hill, the original burial
ground where the bones Of other
Pilgrims who died i'm that first year
also lie. The Tercentenary Commission
has established Coles Hill as the per-
manent Pilgrim burial ground. thus
disposing of the proposal TO remove
elsewhere the bones buried there.
With the contemplated transforma-
ton of the Plymouth waterfront into a
park as a permanent Pilgrim memo

setting for Plymouth Rock. 1t Is to
be hoped that with its return to Its
original site it will carry with it ali

We have tried to sketch the main
consideration which now disinelines
THE New YORK HERALD from becom-
ing enthusiastic for the creation of
new Departments provided the crea-
ton OF each new Department involves
an increase of Cabinet membership.
The alternative of course Is OBJ.

Redistribution of the Departments

grouping and reorganization, accord
ing to modern conditions, of the
bureaus or commissions or boards

There would have to be resolute re-
lection of some old fetiches. To IL
lustrate, if under the new classical
ton 1t should be deemed advisable to
institute Department Of Transpor
lation, represented in the Cabinet, 1t
Is conceivable that the present posta
organization, vast and important as
it's business Is, might logically be sub
erdinated to Transportation in a
new adjustment OF relative values for
Cabinet purposes. We are not here adj
vocating such change; merely sug-
costing the range of possible recon
struction in order to restrict the Csbi
net to workable size. A further H.
lustration Is afforded by circum-
stance referred to above. The De-
partment Of Agriculture, while actu-
ally created as Department In
1852, was conducted for twenty-seven
years before 1t gained a Secretary
and a Cabinet place.
Any such reform of the present
cumbersome, haphazard and unscien-
tific system would require construe-
tive work of the highest order. 1t
would meet with angry resistance.
