T;f\OX WILL HEAD TAFT'S CABINET Pennsylvania Senator Accepts Port folio of State-President-Elect is Gratified. Augusta, Ga., Dec. 18.-William R. Taft, president-elect of the United States, announced the appointment of United States Senator Philander C. Knox of Pennsylvania as.secretary of State in his cabinet. The announcement followed the re eeipt by Mr. Taft of a telegram, which came late this afternoon, con veving the information from Mr. Knox t6at he would accept the pre miership of the Taft cabinet. Mr. Taft without delay made the an nouncement that the matter was set tled. In giving the details,of the negoti ations, he said that the offer was made to Mr. Knox last Sunday morning in New York. That since the offer he. had not heard from Mr. Knox until the telegram he received today. After a consultation with Secretary Root in Washington last Saturday after noon Mr. Taft said he made an effort to-see the Pennsylvania senator there, but was informed that he was in New York to attend tfie dinner of the Pennsylvania society. He wired Mr. Knox to see him at the Henry W. Taft residence Sunday morning. Th-e appointment was kept, Mr. Knox con eluding- his visit in time for Judge Taft to attend the morning church service, but remaining at the Taft re sidence until after Judge* Taft had gone to church. Mr. Taft Gratified. "I feel that I am to be congratu lated in securing the services of Sen ator Knox in my cabinet,'" said Judge Taft in making the announeemeht and making the statement with th*a understanding that he was to be quoted. "In selecting a secretary of State I wanted first a great lawyer and second a man who would fill the public eye, not only here but abroad, as a man who stands out preeminent ly a great American. "Mr. Knox was a great attorney general, he was a candidate for the presidency and he is recognized in the senate and elsewhere as one of the great lawyers of that body.' Judge Taft also feels that from a political viewpoint the selection ot Mr. Knox is.most happy. He explain ed .that there was often a feeling that the &ate of Pennsylvania, with its assured Republican majority, often was slighted in the matter of recog nition in the high councils of the par ty. That this will not be the case in the. next administration was indicat ed by the annoneement by Mr. Taft that hre should invite Senator Knox to eoime to Augusta that he might con sult him freely with reference to fill ing other places in his cabinet. In fact, he said, he felt the need of such advice as hre should be able to obtain from Mr. Knox regarding not tonly the cabinet, but manty matters preli *minary to the beginning of his ad Vministration. ~that Mr. Knox's influende will be potent was freely admitted by Mr. Taft. The hesitation of Senator Knox to make a more speedy decision is in ter'preted as due to his desire to ar range with duie regard for the inter esits of the party and his State for, relinquishing his seat in the senate. Mr. Taft evidenced grati 'eation at the decision which had b en reached. Mr. Taft said tonight that he had not determined definitely on any one for the attorney general's place in his csbinet. Causes of Possibilities. Washington, Dec. 18.-It has been known .here 'for several days that George W. Wickerham of New York has been under consideration by the president-elect for the post of attor,. ney general. 'Among others consid ered by Mr. Taft was Senator Knox, who is to be secretary of State. Sen ator Knox has declined to discuss the questions in any way, but it is under Sstood he endorsed Mr. Wickerham fully and argued. thati a man of suffi cient capabilities in the legal profen Ssion for the attorney generalship would not be found unless taken from the list of those who have had some experience as corporation lawyers. It is generally believed here that an Ohio man will be selected for secre tary of the treasury and until recent ly it was generally accepted that Rep resentative Burton was the choice of Mr. Taft. Some doubt has been creat ed within the last few days as to whether he would take the place in the event of his failure of election to the senate to succeed Senator Foraker. Former Gov. Herriek of Ohio has been mentioned prominiently for the posi tion. No name except that of Judge iehard A. Ballinger of Seatr!a. sh., is heard here in connectv:'m h the seretaryship of the ipieriot dem1ae. Itl, , beleived Secretary pli Wright of the war department and de Secretary Newberry of the navy de- be partment will retire also. It is said ca Mr. Taft has several men in mind foi the war portfolio. but is not ready to be make a selection at this time. us It is known that at one time Mr. Taft had in mind Charles A. Thomp- Su son of New York to be secretary of a I the navy. Whether the appointment in of Mr. Wickerham would interfere is th not known. The po-ition of secre- to tary of commerea and labor has been eu mentioned to a very slight extent and s in some quarters it is thought pro- tei bable that Secietary Straus, who also sii is fro-n New York State, will be con- pa tinued in that post. of For secretary of agriculture it is ha practically conceded that James Wil son of Iowa will be continued in the place for a year or more. The ap pointment of Frank H. Hitchcock to be postmaster general already has A pa been announced authoritatively. th: fo.

R( continuously since that time. I was with the paper a couple of years prior to that time when under other own - y ership. I have, therefore, been the K editor for nearly twenty-five years.. During that time my duties have al so been to keep the books and sub- se scription accounts. bhi I have always had great faith and in, and their purpose to pay the: bts. For that reason I have nev( lieved I could conduct a strict] sh in advance subscription. For the past few months I has en giving a closer study to the si ,tion than ever before. When the postoffice department ii ed its order that a subscription I semi-weekly more than nine monti arrears could not be accepted i e second-class rate we endeavore comply with the order and had I tt off about 650 names. We fir, rit each subscriber at least two le .s calling attention to the rnling bi les mention of it was made in til per. This fall we have sent ai ber letter to these par.sons but ' ye received no response. These 650 owed us over $5,00, any of them not only did not pa !at they owel but went directly an bscribed fx o-r eCLemporary an id for it. We have no objection I a,t but we mention it as a reaso r the shaking of our faith in tl nesty of the people. It certain] s a striking evidence of ingratitudi We still have a good many sul ribers who are in arrears. Stat ts have been sent or will be sei a few days to all of these. During the 25 years of our conne< )n with this newspaper we haN t in unpaid subscriptions at lea 0,000. We have no one to blair t ourself and the people woul ye thought more of us if we ha ide them pay it. We are not con iining but we propose to stop th' tk or go out of the business. After the first day of February TI rald and News will be run strict] the cash in advance plan. A po4 rd will be mailed you giving yc irty, days notice so that you ma ve time to send in your renew. d to remind you.,if you should ove: )k it. There are doubtless some errors i e credits. If you will eall our a; ition to these we will gladly mal e correction and in every case wi 7e the subscriber the benefit of ti uht. It takes too much of our time i d statements and to pay postag e will keep no books except oi -eipt stubs and a cash book and t: iling galleys. We shall hate to part withi any suil ribers but we cannot longer be al yed with trying to collect these li amounts and then not get them. The post ofBece rule does not perm to carry a delinquent longer tha se months and we had just as we . it on the cash basis. We find that for a eleven mont] this year only about 1000 has id anything at all. Just about et If of the present list. We can n< y our debts and keep up this rate < lection of what is due us. . And i' not want to offer compromise can help it. Remember you baye two mont] put yourself financial. If you can y all of your back dues give us yot te and pay the advanea subscrij The rule we adopt will be followe -ictly. No doubt some of those wi e been indulged will show the preciation by getting mad and tal the other paper as some have don e will not raise any objection f< will have the satisfaction of knos that you will no longer get a pa r without paying for it. Those who pay no heed to what the e us will have their accounts tun over to a collection agency. We have worked hard to serve i ople of this community and we de 'v what we have earned. The Herald and' News will contint be an up-to-date paper and v pe all of our subscribers will aj eiate the situation that it cosi mey to buy paper and pay printei d it is much easier for each one i y us than it is for us to be contimi y hunting up these little a.mount If any man's subscription is in a: ars and he has a claim against t will thank him to present his clai d if we owe it we will try to pay i Remember after February first TI ~rald and News is going to be cas advance.
