TUFT WILL KEEP
FEW OF CABINET
Wright, Meyer and Garfield
Only Ones Likely to Remain.
WOULD LIKE TO KEEP ROOT
But Poor Health Will Prevent Cor

a Misfit and Metcalf a Joke
Among Sailors.
OREGONIAN NEW3 BUREAU. Wash
ington, June 30. Few of the members
of President Roosevelt's Cabinet will be
retained as advisers to W. H. Taft when
he moves Into the White House, If he
should be elected President. The new
.Administration will start with a prac
tically new Cabinet. Of those now sit
ting at the Cabinet boaru, not- more than
two will be members of the next Cabinet.
There will be new;Jieads of the State
Department, Treasury Department, War
Department, Department, of Justice, Navy
Department, Agricultural Department
and Department of Commerce and Labor.
Postmaster-General Meyer will be a
member of Mr. Taft's Cab'net, if he
cares to, though he may not remain in
the Postoffice Department, and Secretary
G-trtield can continue in his 'present of
fice, if it so pleasi.s him. But with thesn
two exceptions, there will be a new deal
all around.
One exception should be made in the
case of the War Department. As Luke
E. Wright was chosen as Mr. Taft's suc
cessor on the latter's own recommenda
tion, it Is- certain he will remain in the
new Cabinet.
Koot May Ascend Bench.
Were it not for poor health, Secretary
Root would probably continue as Secre
tary of State. Mr. Taft would be great
ly pleased If Mr. Root would remain,
and will tender him the office. But the
duties of Secretary of State are quite
heavy, particularly when' the occupant
of the office Is extremely conscientious,
as Mr. Root has been, and the tax is
more than he cares to bear. Mr. Root's
friends say he would accept appointment
in Mr. Taft's Cabinet If, he thought his
health would permit him to serve the
full four years, but- he does not -care to
serve there for only a part of the Ad
ministration. Moreover, there is pros
pect that there may be a vacancy In the
Chief Justiceship of the United States
Supreme Court during the next Admin
istration, and, if that should occur, Mr.
Root is slated for the vacancy. The du
ties of Chief Justice are far less trying
than those of Secretary of State, and it
is thought Mr. Root could don the ermine
without detriment to his health. Mr.
Root will be 63 years old when the new
administration opens, and would have but
a short time to serve-as 'Chief1 Justice,
before being retired. "- ; ;
Drop Cortelyou 'Qhlckljv'" v
Mr. Taft has never been numbered
among the ardent ad,mJreia -Of jGeorge -B.' ,
Cortelyou. He appreciates his good qual
ities, but he has always-inclined to the
opinion, very prevalent among . publ2
men, that Mr. Cortelyou' has got beyond
his depth and Is not by training, equipped
to . preside over the Federal ' treasure-;
box. As a Governmental administrative
officer, Mr. Cortelyou is most efficient,
but a Secretary of the Treasury, to prop
erly fill the office, according to the Ideas
of Mr. Taft, should have had long train
ing In matters of finance. This Mr. Cor
telyou has not had. Moreover, Mr. cor
telyou, since he managed the Republican
campaign of 1904, has been on too inti
li.nto terms with J. Pierpont Morgan and
other Wall-street "captains of industry"
to please Mr. Taft, who is anxious that
his Secretary of the Treasury shall not
afford the slighted opportunity for set
ting up the cry that he manipulates the
Treasury Department at the dictation of
Wall Btreet. Therefore, Mr. Cortelyou
will not be a member of the new Cab
inet. When Charles J. Bonaparte retires from
the Department of Justice on March 4,
1S09, his public career will end. Mr. Bona
parte Is a misfit In the Cabinet and would
have retired long since, but for the dis
turbance that might have followed in
Maryland. The President wants to see
Maryland In the Republican column next
November, and that Is why he has al
lowed Mr. Bonaparte to hold on so long.
Were It not for this one fact Mr. Bona
parte would have gone back to the prac
tice of law long, long ago. In Maryland
Republican circles he Is a powerful fac
tor, and It was daetned Inexpedient to let
him out when to do so would be to alien
ate the votes of many of his admirers. It
has, been noted on many occasions during
the' past year that Mr. Bonaparte has
worked at cross purposes with the Admin
istration, and his continuance in the
Cabinet has only been possible by trans
ferring to the -. White House many of the
powers that should be exercised by the
Attorney-General. As a matter of fact,
Mr. Bonaparte has lately been little more
than a figurehead, but he will cease to
be even that on March 4.
Metcalf a Joke to the Xavy.
The other weak member .of the Cabinet
is Victor H. Metcalf, Secretary of th
Navy. If ever a man got into an office
where he did not belong, he is that man.
Kven ,now he does not know the differ
ence between a water-tight bulkhead and
the armor belt of a battleship. Those who
have business to transact with Mr. Met
calf pity-him-If he Is called upon to ini
tiate action in his own department. He
does not know what to do or how to do
it. He Is overridden by his bureau chiefs,
and even the policies of his department
are shaped by his subordinates save In
such Instances as the President himself
takes a hand. In- official circles, Mr. Met
calf is a Joke that Is, Mr. Metcalf, the
Secretary. There are hundreds of men
better equipped to preside over the Navy
Dtpartment. and some one of the number
will bo chosen aftr March 4. Personally
and socially;- Mr. Metcalf is all that could
bs asked of any Cabinet member, but of
ficially he is impossible. It was no kind
ness to Mr. Metcalf to appoint him to a
Cabinet office: that was the one wrong
President Roosevelt did his California
friend.
Farmer Wilson Has Enough.
Since the Department of Agriculture,
was formed, it nevr had a Secretary as
practical and as efficient as James Wil
son, of Iowa. True, Mn Wilson has made
mistakes, hut who would not In a record
breaking Cabinet term of 12 years,
stretching over three full administrations.
Mr. Wilson's few mistakes will be forgot
ten when his many beneficial accomplish
ments are remembered. Mr. Wilson suc
ceeded, primarily, because he had had a
farmer's training and "knew the busi
ness." Moreover, he was a practical man
not a theorist. He Tcnew what the farm
ers needed and he undertook to supply
their wants. It would take many -a
thousand words to sum up the good work
that has been done by the Department of
Agriculture since Mr. Wilson came to its
head,. Having broken all previous Cab
inet records and being conscious of a
long record of work well done; Mr. Wil
son will retire voluntarily at the close of
the Roosevelt Administration. His suc
cessor will have great difficulty In equal
ing the success of "Tama Jim."
Straus Anxious to Quit.
It is understood to be the desire of Sec
retary Straus to relinquish the duties of
Secretary of Commerce and Labor at the
close of the present administration. Mr.
Straus took this office at great financial
loss, because he was desirous of seeing
tne immigration service placed on a hhrh
er plane with more efficient administra
tion.
.Ever since he entered the Cabinet. Mr.
Straus has given his best attention to the
Immigration service and has seen lnau
gurated many of the reforms he deemed
so essential. Having accomplished this
much, It Is reported that he Is now ready
to retire that is. when the Roosevelt ad
ministration retiree.
Meyer Has Two Hobbles.
If Postmaster General Meyer consents
to remain in the Cabinet, he is very likely
to be promoted to the Treasury Depart
ment, to succeed Mr. Cortelyou. Mr.
Meyer and Mr. Taft are very good
friends, and. the future President is fully
aware of the abilities of the Postmaster-
General. Only one thing would keep Mr.
Meyer in the Postoffice Department. He
Is the foremost advocate of a parcels
post law and postal savings bank law
and, if he believed that by remaining In
his present position he could further these
two pieces of legislation, he would put
aside personal ambition, which might
carry him higher, and stay where he is.
Garfield Likely to Stay.
One of Mr. Taft's most ardent support
ers in Ohio Is Secretary Garfield, of the
Interior Department. Since he succeeded
Mr. Hitchcock, Mr. Garfield has acquired
a very comprehensive idea of the woik

OREGON AGRICULTURAL COL
LEGE. Corvallis. June 20. (Spe
cial.) Warren Forsythe of En
terprise, Or., a member of the
class of '07 at O. A. C, has been
elected instructor physiological
chemistry in the University of
Michigan. He spent the past
year at " the University- of ; Ann
Arbor, and, though he was not a
candidate for it, was given the
PQffitioji oyer several candidates.
He took 'a :degree in pharmacy at
Michigan this year. He was elect
ed to a position in the depart-:
.ment of chemistry at O. A. C. but
li declined it to accept the place-at
Ann Aroor
of the Interior Department, having per
sonally studied the work on the ground
where it originates. He is an intense
man and, now that he Is thoroughly In
terested, It Is quite likely that he would
desire to continue In his present position.
If he wants to stay, he can. His wish is
law In that matter.
The changes to be made at the begin
ning of the new administration will not
be in the nature of removal of present
officials and the appointment of substi
tutes. The terms of all Cabinet officers
will expire on March 4, 1909, and there
being an entirely new administration, the
new President will have the unhampered
right to appoint as Cabinet officers such
men as he chooses. The fact that a man
is a member of Mr. Roosevelt's Cabinet
gives him no claim to a reappointment,
merely because Mr. Roosevelt favors
Mr. Taft. If he goes into the White
Houee, Mr. Taft will have the same liber
ty In the selection of Cabinet officers as
would belong to Mr. Roosevelt's bitterest
enemy, or to a Democratic President. Mr.
Taft is not under obligations to any mem
ber of the present Cabinet, save Garfield,
for his nomination; all will support him
at the election because he is the party's
choice. Being under no obligation to any
save one, Mr. Taft can very properly pick
new material for his advisory bpard.

Madame Wu, who will remain several
days at the Fairnjont Hotel before pro
ceeding to Washington.

GERMAN ARMY GETS SON
Duke of Cumberland by Allowing
Enlistment Recognizes Emperor
as Ruler of Former Klng
- dom of Hanover. .
BERLIN, June 20. (Special.) A
young man of 21 entering the German
army In September next will be the
most important political event in Ger
many for many years. The young man
is a Prince, to be sure, but there' is
nothing extraordinary in that, for
Princes' by the score have entered the
army before and nothing been thought
of it. What makes the event inter
esting Is the fact that the Prince in
question Is' the son of Duke Ernest
August of Cumberland, head of the
House of Guelph, and for many years
an- enemy of the Kaiser and claimant
to the- throne of the old kingdom of
Hanover, which was wiped out of ex
istence and made a Prussian province
because its inhabitants took sides with
Austria in 1866.
Ever since the death of his father
the Duke of Cumberland has avoided
every meeting with the Kaiser, and
has repeatedly expressed his hate of
anything Prussian, and when he now
consents to let his second son enter a'
German regiment, it means that he ha3
at last given up the fight and is ready
lo recognize me jvai6er as ruier oi
Hanover, the kingdom of his ancestors.
When some weeks ago it was an
nounced that the young Prince was
about to enter the army, and the Ger
man press began to comment upon
this, a strong denial was immediately
sent out from Gmunden, where the
Duke of Cumberland has lived since he
was forced to leave Germany.
This time there ia no doubt about
the truth of the news, for the Duke's
marechal of court has Just been re
celved in audience by Prince Regent
Luitpold of Bavaria, and it has been
seml-offlclally announced in Munich
that the young Prince will enter the
dragoon regiment "Prince Karl of Ba
varia" as Second Lieutenant some time
during September.
state is recognized by the promoters of
the new line as being expensive and un
satisfactory, and It is the hope of the In
corporators of the new line to improve
tne transportation facilities by the con
structlon of a railroad. It cannot be said
yet just when work on the projected
roaa will be started. . -

TRAVEL HEAVY TO EAST
Railroads Report Many Taking Ad
vantage of Excursion Rates.
Travel over all lines to the East is
reported as very heavy by the passenger
agents In Portland just now, on account
of special round-trip excursion tickets to
all points Eaet. Friday and Saturday
were sale dates for this business:.- and
all the offices were well patronized. The
different agents say there Is no sign of
unfavorabe financial conditions ' In this
section of the ..country, for everybody
seems to have money and the number of
people going East Is unusually heavy.' In
fact, the travel Is much heavier now
than at the two earlier sale dates in this
month, when many tickets were sold. :
Many people were not ready to go
earlier in the Spring on account of the
Rose- Festival and the coming- of the
fleet to the Coast, while others waited
until the schools were dismissed for the
year. With all these things out of the
way, people generally find condltiona
'suitable for making their trips East that
they have planned during the past Win
ter, s
A special car party of delegates to the

special car, leaving Portland July 2, and
will travel by the same route. Other
special car parties are now being ar
ranged by the ticket agents of the vari
ous lines. But In addition to these par
ties, individual travel Is the heaviest the
various offices .have known for some
time.
BUILD USB FROM SHAXIKO
New Company Incorporated With
'Capital or $50,000.
A company to build a line of railroad
from Shaniko to Prineville and Bend
has been formed by Eastern Oregon men
under the name of the Central Oregon
Railroad Company,, with a capital stock
of $60,000. The Incorporators are Alfred F.
Biles, F. S. Stanley, Jesse Stearns and
Roscoe Howard.
Incorporators of the company say the
project le not speculative in any sense,
nor is it the beginning of any great rail
road system, but merely an attempt by
the people of Eastern Oregon to secure
an outlet for their products. The pres
ent cumbersome method of hauling
freight by wagons In the Interior of the
P,OUR of Miss Dorothea Nash's piano
pupils gave a recital last night In
the studio of W. Glfford Nash, and
those who attended gave cordial In
dication of their appreciation of the
musical offerings. The soloists were:
Mrs. Ralph Miller, and Misses Emellne
Powell, Carolyn Friendly and Kittle
Jarvls, and all -showed that they had
profited by, intelligent instruction. It
was a pleasure to hear such a quartet
of enthusiastic, talented players, who
played for tonal effects rather than
mere volume.
A notable number was the rendition
of the Beethoven Concerto in G major
with orchestra parts on second piano.
It was also interesting to note the
worth of the various Grieg numbers se
lected. A Rubinstein "Barcarolle" was
played with discriminating taste and
sentiment, followed by a Joyous color
picture In a- Godard gavotte. The
quartet of pianists are all natural mu
sicians, who gave a message rather
than the mere presentation of a study,
and it was added enjoyment when such
difficult scores are played from mem
ory and , without reference to music
scores. ' ; - '
REV. LAPHAM. AND WOMEN
Teppery 'Answer to the Portland
Minister's Attack on London.
-' ARLETA, Or., June 15. (To the Editor.)
In reading the sermon of Dr. S. C. Lap
ham of the Second Baptist Chifrch, I note
that he accuses the women of being re
sponsible for the spread of so many new
cults, isms. etc.. and gees out of hia way
to take a fall out of Jack London. I be
lieve he said he would rather have a viper
in hla house than a book written by the
jolly Jack.
Now Jack London U -a particular friend
of mine and as he is not present to speak
for himself I vi take the liberty to thank
the Rev. Lapliam. for the free advertising.
And I want also to issue a direct challenge
to the reverend gentleman to produce any
statement of London's that either wholly
or in part can be construed as advocating
the destruction of the marriage relation.
Such talk from a minister is nauseating.
I'll venture that Rev. Lapham has never
read a single work of London's. He prob
ably got his knowledge of what London ad
vocates from tne same source he got tne rest
of his so-called sermon, namely an ignor
ant mind, coupled with a theological prej
udice against anything that bears not the
stamp o orthodox authority.
I hereby take the opportunity to state
that the monogamous marriage relation is
not a divine Institution, as Rev. Lapham
and many others teach, but is purely a
social Institution the fruit of the evolution
of society from the tribal, the patriarchal
forms, on up to the monogamous relation
as it exists today, in theory. If Brother
Lapham is not disposed to take my word
for the above statement I respectfully re
fer him to "Ancient Societ.,, by Lewis H.
Morgan, the foremost authority bn thit sub
ject. Could also refer him to "Origin of
the Family," by ureaencK c.ngei. wnicn
is a brief summary of the salient points in
the' first mentioned book.
A man who knows the truth on this
question will not make a spectacle of him
self by saying that someone advocates the
destruction of the marriage relation, for
society has been thousands of years in at
taining the present position, and the ef
forts of one man will avail but little, work
ing against nature. In other words, if that
were really what London advocated. It is
time wasted to criticise him.
But there is something hurting the Rev.
Lapham and I rather suspect, that it is

ever I won't pursue this part of the subject
further, but will address a few remarks
to that part of the tirade in which the
poor, deluded sisters are blamed for every
thing that Is wrong.
If they are Ignorant. It Is small wonder,
since they have depended from time Ira-
emorial On just sucn specimen. u
Rev. Stanton C. I.apham mr instruction
and guidance. Verily. I marvel greatly that
the women are as progressive as they are.
for the burden they have borne has been
a heavy one. and because they have begun
to wake up and to take an active interest
in the world about them, they are held
responsible by Rev. Lapham tand others),
for this progress. "No doubt it would please
such as he greatly to see a return to the
good old time when a woman was con
sidered a nonentity and men were supreme
in authority: when good, noble women like
Ann Hutchison were burned at the stake
or banished for asserting the right to wor
ship a suited the dictates of conscience;
when a woman was a mere drudge, a house
keeper and a child bearer, but u not
permitted the freedom that she enjoys even
now, and I. for one, desire to see that free
dom extended until our mothers and wives
are free Indeed free to bestow their love
on those worthy of it, and not forced intoa
loveless marriage- for a home, or to avoid
that other terrible alternative.
Free love? Yes. for love cannot be bought
with a price, now, can it. Lr. Laipham?
Pleaae don't confuse the term free lust with
the foregoing. The two terms are not
synonymous in any sense.,
In closing I wish to suf.-gest to Dr. Lap
ham and all other preachers, th&t if they
will confine their discourses to doctrinal
subjects they, will not be so liable to get
Into deep water, but when they encroach
on the domain of science, in any of its
branches, to be more precise in their as
sertions. They will carry more weight.
CHARLES E. KITCHINQ.
Critic of Dr. Lapham.
PORTLAND. June 17. (To the Editor.)
Docs the Rev. Mr. Lapham wish to go on
record as a pessimist? A pessimist never
succeeds In building up. His remarks In
Sunday's sermon would indicate thut he
has been a failure and has a fit of the
blues. Can we as believers in God and the
mission of his Son as the Savior of the
world, knowing God to be all powerful,
say that the world is growing worse? (t
am not a Christian Scientist, but believe in
divine truth and Justice toward all.)
If the reverend brother will attend the
Christian Scientist Church he will find as
Intelligent. dlgniHed a congregation as In
any orthodox congregation in the city.
True, there are more women; .will he show
me a congregation at any church where
the same is not true? Except in the mis
sions in the North End. The disposition or
dissipation seems to predominate more In
men than in women. , In fact the whole
discourse shows a lack of investigation and
depth of thought, without a spirit of Justice
and an admission that 'God made a mistake
when he sent his on into the. world as its
Savior and Redeemer, and that some min
isters have mistaken their calling lstead
of plowing corn to preach the gospel. i When
Christ sent his disciples out to preach his
gospel his Instructions were to preach his
gospel (which was a gospel of love) and
heal the sick. As a rule the ministers en
deavor only to obey the first part of the
.command. A TRUTH STUDENT.-

DRYS AMD WETS STRUGGLE
Contest in Court to Decide Legality
of Local Option Election.
LA GRANDE, Or.. June 20. (Special.)
The struggle 1 in the Circuit Court of
this county to determine whether the
will of the people or the will of the sa
lnonmen shall reign supreme was resumed
this afternoon, and for a period of several
hours the attorneys for Julius Roesch,
a local brewer who secured a tem
porary order enjoining the County Court
from declaring the local option law In
effect, notwithstanding that it carried by
a majority of nearly 700, battled In a
word war before the court. There are
four salient allegations in the complaint
filed by Mr. Roesch. namely, that the ac
tion of the County Court prior to the
election was Irregular, that the clerk's
action was Irregular, that the petition
praying for the election was insufficient,
and lastly that the Sheriff posted the
notices Improperly. All but the last
charge was thrown out this afternoon..
On the latter issue the court took the
matter under advisement, and will render
a decision In the near future. Locally,,
friends and foes alike of the prohibition
question are much excited.
