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.

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

M(
You cannot be over-careful in the in
selection of medicine for children.
Only the very gentlest bowel mdi- t(
cine should ever be given. Oi-dinary lo
pills. cathartics and purgatives are $2
too apt to do more harm than good. bi
They cause griping, nausea and oth- ha
er distressing after-effects that are m
frequently health destroying and a P1
life-lasting annoyance. IeE
We personally recommend and
guarantee Rexall Orderlies as the tE
safest and most dependable remedy on
for constipation and associate bowel ca
disorders. We have such absolute th:
faith in the supreme virtues of this ha
remedy that we sell it on our ,uaran- an
tee of money back in every instance lo
where it fails to give entire satisfac
tion, and we urge all in need of such th
medicine to try it at our risk. tei
Rexall Orderlies contain an entirely th
new ingredient which is odorless, gii
tasteless and colorless. It embraces do
all the best qualities of the soothing,
laxative, strengthening and healing sei
remedial active principles of the best W
known intestinal regulator tonics. re<
Rexall ~Orderlies *are extremely mi
pleasant to take, are particularly
prompt and agreeable in action, may sea
be taken at any time, day or night; no
do not cause diarrhoea, nausea, tle
griping, excessive looseness, or other
undesirable ~effects. They have a very as
natural action urpon the gland and or
gans with which they come in contact, PU
act as a positive and regulatitvte tonie
upon the.relax, dry muscular coat of
the bowel, remove irritation, dryness p
and soreness, o,vercome weakness, and ha
tone and strengthen thae nerves and p
muscles, and restore the bowels and
associate organs to more vigorous and 'do
healthy activity.
Rexall Orderlies not only cure con
stipation. but they remove the cause t
of this ailment. They also overcome p
the necessity of constantly taking
laxatives to keep the bowels in nor
mal condition.
There is really no s'.' ilar medicine
so good as Rexall Orderlies, especiallyh
for children, aged and delieate per
sons. They are prepared in tablet an
form and in two sizes of packages;
12 tablets, 10e., and 36 tablets, 25c.

CASH IN ADVANCE.
In March, 1887, I became a part
owner of The Herald and News and Fh
have been connected with the papei. 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

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

It takes too much of our time i

We shall hate to part withi any suil

amounts and then not get them.
