THE NEW CABINET
T iken as a whole and guaged by their individual
works, the Cabinet selected by President Franklin Dela
no Rooseveit stands out luminously for its choice of men
of action rather than politicians. While many of them
have advanced nigh in the councils of the nation via the
political route, as many, if not more have contributed
his or her part to national progress, as it relates to ^di
vidual :eivice bestowed in responsible positions, both m
politics and business.
We find those who emerged from the little red school
of the Western prairies where they fought to win the
rudiments of an education, step higher into the hails ot
learning, to transmit their knowledge to those who came
after, and by the same process of energy took their mas
ter degree'' in those solid and incorruptible seats oi
learning which have contributed this galaxy of repre
sentatiws of democracy.
Wt see the miner and metalurgist, as shown in the
case ot the Secretary of War, George Dern, advancing
step bv step, developing and creating, amassing money
and playing an important partin making of Utah a
great state. „ _ ^ ,
" Again we have in Secretary ot Commerce Daniel
Calhoun Roper, the best informed commercial statisti
cian iii the nation, a man who could tell you to a bale
what Hie cotton yield would be, but who never bought or
sold a bale of cotton in the speculative market. Yet he
transmitted his knowledge and genius to the world as a
publicist. . .
In the Secretary of the Treasury, William Hartman ;
Wooding, we find a man who came from a small.Penn-j
sylvama town, but who with such men as Baldwin and;
the great galaxy of geniuses gave us the modem loco- j
motive and its contribution to perfection m rail trans-;
poration. And besides all this, being a scientist who pass-;
ed along his ripe knowledge.
From the soil of Iowa comes Henry Agard Wallace,!
Secretary of Agriculture, editor, farmer and authority
on agriculture in all its phases, and an authoi whose
works are standard.
Like ihe majority of his compeers, Harold L. lekes,
Secretary of the Interior, began life in an agricultural
country. His politics have been balanced by altruistic
service, embodying the best of Americanism.
In Miss Frances Perkins, Secretary of Labor, one
glimpses high culture, born of academic and intimate
contact, whose personality forces itself forward more by
her labors on behalf of the laborer and worker, than
thru any force she might erect in a political sense.
Of the others, each has enjoyed a career free from
those usual taints attaching to politics.
Taken as a whole the cabinet is nearer expressive
of America in its combination of learning, labor and
contribution of service than anything we have had in
the past century,
China and Japan are fighting over a mountain pass.
It they’ll just lay off, wTe’ll give ’em the one thru which
the Noilh wind comes blowing the feathers off Seward’s
chickens, \
According to a socialogist there are no editors or
newspaper reporters in any of the prisons. But he does
not explain whether it is because they have a drag, are
to slick to he caught, or just dumb enough to be honest.
Bernard Shaw sailed for the Far East in search of
God. In other words he’s going thru hell to reach his ob
jective.
A rolling stone gathers no moss, but listens good
when going thru the sluicebox on five dollars a yard
ground. ;

FINANCIAL ORGANISM

NEW YORK, March 6, —A par
tial paralysis descended over the
harassed financial organism of
the United States Saturday.
Banking and trading in secur
ities was suspended in all impor

frozen, looked to the Roosevelt
administration at Washington for
relief.
President Roosevelt is prepar
ing a measure to meet the bank
ing crisis in cooperation with his
Congressional leaders and will call,
as was announced Saturday, an
extra session of Congress to enact
it as soon as the bill is in shape.
