With the possible inception of Satt. Iloosevelt. Mr. TaTt sHt1 go Into office* freer than any of h'.a j redveeaaora. There have bean presldsnts so heav? ily mortsjssjed. both In trie matter of appointradnta snd as to policy, that they had left scarce*y ai\ opportunity to sxec ;.ae Judgment of their own. ft used to be the common thing in na? tional conventions to trade cabinet, diplomatic and other Important offices foe roten, and later on. when it came to raising campaign funds, promise* avara aih that It would have been disastrous to have made public. Even Abraham Lincoln found, after the enaction. (Hat his friends had pledged him to rungs of whlcb he did not ap? prove, but the ethics of politics at that ?time wars sueh that Lincoln felt obli? gated to rodeem the pledges. When McKinley bocame president In 1897 be Tound tint his campaign managers had committed him to the appoint? ment of hundreds of men of whom b?? had scarcely heard. Moat of these ?pledgee he redeemed, but In two or three easvs he refused to do so and all 'the urging of Mark Hanna was in re la. Mr. Roosevelt, white serving as as? sists at secretary of the navy, became attainted with some of the ernbar neaameats Mr. McKinley had exper? ts steed by reason of oanapalgn pledges and when he became himself a candl dale nor the presidency he Instructed eta managers to make no promises In his name. The result has shown In Mr Noooevelt's cabinet. More than ever before It hae been a board of personal a>1 visers to the president rather than s t advisory board of the party In pow Af mi I en r \ I Knot. Witl.im II Moody ?

Paris. Berlin and eluewhere la one of the main argumenta In favor of tho govern? ment acquiring deplomatlc residences. It makea It exceedingly unpleaaant for the poor man who is appointed to suc? ceed a rich man, as was demonstrat? ed by the Tower-Hill Incident at Ber? lin. Most of the principal powers own their embassies and legations in Wash? ington, as do a number of the second and third-rate countries. ? i ? worked up over a case of alleged dis? respect to the uniform, the offense this time having occurrred in the na? tional capital Itself, where In the past respect for the uniform has been held up as an example to the rest of the country. The matter has grown to be so seri? ous a one and Is causing so much re? sentment among the enlisted person? nel that congress Is to be asked to take some action In the matter. Army and navy officers are not quite clear in their minds as to just what congress ought to do, but they believe a satute making it an offense against the Uni? ted States to discriminate against a man at placea of public entertainment merely because ho wore his country's uniform would stand the test of the courts and go a long 'vays towards correcting the abuse. ? ? ? The good angels of the Republican party are busy trying to find places for the "lame ducks." The latest proposition is that "Jim" Watson, who gave up his seat in congress to run for governor of Indiana and was defeated, ihall be appointed consul general to London, tho best paying position Mr. Taft will have to bestow. Robert J. Wynne, formerly a Washington news? paper man and Postmaster General from the time of the death of Henry C. Payne until Mr. Cortelyou was ready to take the job, now holds the London billet and Is not at all anxl >us to let go, but as absence from the 'ountry prevented his contributing in my way to the Taft cause he has no particular claim. "Charlie' Landls, of Indiana, whose lefeat. for congress was one of the turprlses of the election, is being urg d for Public Printer and Is very like y to get the Job. Senator Chester I. .xmgy of Kansas, defeated for reelec lon by Joseph L. Brtstow, will expect tomething good from the adminlstra Ion and Is likely to land an assistant tecretaryship of one of the depart nenta. Judge Lacey, of Iowa, for ?nany years a member of the house ind who was defeated by Oov. Cum nine for the senatorial nomination, is Ming boomed for commissioner of public lands. As he served in the louse as chairman of the committee >n public lands he will prove a strong candidate. A nunber of other prominent Re? publicans fell by the wayside, and be? cause they have not yet put in their lalms for consideration is no reason to believe they will not be heard from. MASTKRS SALK.
