Al a Cabinet Meeting.

&C. C. Brainerd in Brooklyn
Eagle.
President Harding adjusts
himself to a comfortable pose in
his leather arm chair. Perhaps
there is a lighted cigar between
his fingers. His glance compre-
hends eleven other men who
have also settled back in their
chairs. Half of them, like the
President, have cigars from
which wisps of blue smoke are
lazily ascending. At last the
Presidential glance comes to a
rest upon man who sits next to
the head of the table, on the
right of the Chief Executive.
"Well, Mr.. Secretary of State,
says the President, ''have you
anything for the cabinet this
morning?"
And thus it begins, usually to
continue for more than two
hours. THERE'S very little for
mality about a meeting of the
Harding cabinet. There is a
great deal of business, but few
rules. There is much talk, but
no speeches. There is some
times wide diversity of opinion,
but no heated debate. There
are arguments and decisions, but
no balloting. The family discus
ses its affairs with frankness
and freedom, but it does not
quarrel about them.
Finally, at about Ills o'clock,
there comes a pause in the con.
versation. The President once
more glances around the table.
us there anything else gentle
men," he asks.
As a rule there is nothing else.
The President has sensed the
point at which the cabinet has
talked itself out for the day.
He rises. The cabinet rises.
The meeting is at an end.
There are no written rules or
bylaws for running a cabinet
meeting. There are certain GUS
toms, presidents and courtesies
which are observed, but there is
no formality about the obser-
vance Of them. There is no rig
id order of business. There is
no gavel for calling the meeting
to order or declaring it adjourn
ed. There are no motions to be
voted upon. There is no reading
of minutes of the previous meet
ing, for there are no minutes.
There are no stenographers or
secretaries in the room. There
are just dozen men sitting
there, talking about the affairs of
the Uuited States and its people.

Mr., Saprio wound up his edu-

large meeting at Lexington Sat-

that about 1,5O0 persons heard
this address. When vote was

came to this meeting from Clark

Louis Lee Haggin, owner of one

At places where he spoke, a

the active work of signing con-

enthusiasm in each county.

At Shelbyville, where Mr..

pounds considerably increased.
Mr.. Sapiro crowded the court

to hear his outline of the COOP

Mr.. Sapiro spoke at Richmond
Tuesday afternoon, before q

To THE NEW YORK HERALD: 1t Is a

ere. as was done by "Afichigandcr' in a

I enjoyed the comradeship OF General
Custer and every officer killed with him
and also had had the confidence of Gall
and Red Hail, two of Sitting Bulls chief
aids. until in 1872. when an inexperi-
enced Lieutenant took 1t upon himself
to judge those highly valued Sioux as
hostile and caused the guard to fire on
them when they as confidential scouts
were responding to a call.
The Sioux had been so lied to and
robbed at the agencies that they were
always suspicious OF treachery. and Gall
and Red Hail believed the call to be a
rrse TO murder them. Shoot at a white
man and he will go for his gun.

Uses of Fish Bootleggers.

With the fishing season for Penn

catches of bass are unusually promis-
ing. Long before the time when
angling was legal NATHAN BULLER,
the Pennsylvania Fisheries Commits.
sioner, was able to make optimistic
predictions about them. He had
made large catches of bass bootleg
gers and about every bootlegger had
made a large catch of bass when he
himself was caught with the fish
goods on him.
In fact the illegal fisherman has
come to be pretty accurate barome-
ter of the success or failure of Gov
ernment fish planting. This holds
especially with regard to bass propa-
cation this year in Pennsylvania.
Thousands of young bass big enough
to take care of themselves were
turned loose in the streams of the
State early in the season. They
thrived prodigiously. There are now
more bass in Pennsylvania inland
waters than there have been for
years back.
The clandestine fishermen early
found this out. They were soon in
the field. All along the Pennsylvania
river banks bass bootleggers were
abroad. So were the Fish Commits
sioner's wardens. The bootlegger
haul was heavy. Their illegal
strings were carefully inspected.
They afforded the best data obtain
able as to the condition of the fish
with which the streams had been so
largely stocked. They revealed that
all the waters concerned, particularly
the Susquehanna system of streams,
were rich in bass, and that the fsh
were in as fine condition as they
were numerous. They revealed, fur
thermore, that the efforts to stock
the Susquehanna with salmon are
proving successful.

Coming Their Way.

The railroads of the United States,
now operating on their readjusted
wage scales, will not be restricted to
that single benefit, estimated to be
worth to them, with the relief from
irrational working conditions, at
least half billion of dollars a year.
They are buying and will buy their
coal for tens of millions of dollars n
year less than it recently has been
costing them. They will buy all
their other supplies and equipment
for less. They will buy their rails.
ties and road ballast for less.
The railroads of the country will
rent whatever they have to rent for
less than they have been paying.
They will hire even their borrowed
capital for less. But, perhaps best Of
all for themselves, for the shippers
and for the country. the railroads
will revise their freight rates to make
the traffic flow. Out Of their war
wage straitjacket at last, they can
stretch themselves and begin to try
to get back their lost business. They
are doing it now
Thousands of readjusted classiflca-
tions and reduced traffic rates are re-
ported by the carriers to the Associa-
tion of Railway Executives. This
means busy main stems instead OF
janmed up side tracks and storage
yards. 1t means full trains and
loaded cars instead of empty hauls.
1t means keeping a twenty billion
dollar plant at work; for the rate
makes the freight.
And, with things coming their way
again, the railroads of the United
States will start things coming the
country's way.

nestly desires. 1t has always been
customary TO select the singers and
musicians from all the leading Ger
man theatres, and even those Of
France, Scandinavia and this coun-
try have been called upon to con-
tribute to the ensembles.
The powers in control of the Wag-
lner theatre have always been ac-
counted shrewd. This reputation will
not be imperilled by the renewal Of
the performances there. Slowly the
operas OF WAGNER are again taking
their place in the operate repertoire
of all lands. England never entirely
lost its cordiality for them. The first
representation of die Walkiire" in
Paris since the war was the signal
for unrestrained enthusiasm. Great
audiences have greeted the Wagner
works at the Metropolitan Opera
House. They are being restored grad
ually to the operatic repertoire the
world over.
This should be fairly well accom-
plished by the time the performances
have been resumed at the theatre

OF Bayreuth be added to their popu-
larity, which has not grown less from
the fact that during the war they
have not been heard with the same
