Washington. - March J T. --Nearly
two fnOtlths hav passed since the
fateful days when Robert . Lansing
called the cabinet together to func
tlon dtirinf the lllftesi bt Pfesldent
VtUhbti, but though an official re
btikt for summortins; the cabinet
without authority was Issued at the
time, no meeting Of the Cabinet has
since been called, by the president
himself.
Every Tuesday an Friday members
ot the cabinetespecially the new ones
-ait eagerly for the mystic ring on
the telephone from the operator at the
White House switchboard telling them
they are to etperienee the thrill of thelrJ
first cabinet meeting. But many Tues
days and many Fridays hare gona by
And hot a vord from the president. Mr,
Wltann fltUM rft well enough to take
motor rides in parks and the Vlrg-inla
hills and to transact official business for
an hour or so a day. but the strain of
a cabinet meeting is evidently too much
fof him yet.
fll&KK HEW FACES
Th president has a brand new secre
tary of commerce, secretary of agrlcul
tur. secretary of the interior and sec
.. f atat snd though, fcavld f.
ttouston sat in the agf Ictiltuf el chair be
tM ht now rtoe o closer t
the throne and occupy the chair of the
.wr.taty of the treasury. Attorney
general Palmer is really a new comer.
Only the familiar faces of Newton p,
Baker, secretary of war ! Joseph Daniels
.,,, nr ih. nnv: William B. Wil
son, secretary of labor, and Postmaster
General Burleson remain
i.'. . .i,,riv twilitu-al cabinet, never
thcless, and the kind Mr. Wilson has
been anxious to call together frofn the
beginning. The president likes men Who
can go out and make good campaign
, speeches and practically all of this cabi
net are qualified for the Stump.
Secretary Alexander of the depart
ment M commerce. Secretary Wllsort of
the department of laboj, and Postmaster
Hnrleson campaigned actively before
- they became members of the house of
; representatives. Secretary Meredith ran
for g&vernor of Iowa on the Democratic
Uoket and Is out making a few speeches
now to advertising clubs, chambers of
commerce and civic organisations. Sec
retary Daniels was the Democratic na
tional committeeman from North Caro
lina for 10 years. Secretary Baker waa
tv? Ice mayor of Cleveland a&d active In
. Ohio pontics.

Attorney General Palmer has been
UuAar a the Democratic caucus In the
house of representatives and was floor
leader Of the Wilson roree at tne nemo
1 itmtia nnvention of 112 In Baltimore.
He is en active and an avowed candi
date for the Democratic nomination.
Balnbfldge Colby is an excellent speaker,
possibly the best of the cabinet. He Is
' Sn orator and spellbinder. Mis speeches
nominating Roosevelt In the progressive
convention in 11 or condemning Roose
velt later on for betraying the party are
masterpieces of eloquence.
Only Secretaries Houston of the trees
1 ury and Jehn Barton Payne of the in
terlor department can't duality as poll
v ticiana. Eight of 10 In the Wilson cabl
r nelt will be heard from during the com
" Ing campaign. They are expected to do
the fighting for President Wilson's poli-
eiea. .
8m of the e-members of the cabi
net probably will have their say, too,
though perhaps they may not all be as
enthusiastic about Wilson policies as
they used to be. William Jennings
Bryan. Thomas W. Gregory, William o,
McAdoo. Franklin K. Lane, Undley M.
Garrison and Robert Lansing constitute
the Wilson alumni association, though
it looks as if Mr. Lansing will divide
honors with Mr. Garrison in maintain
ina absolute eilence about the admin
Istratloft. Neither one satisfied th po
litical Qualifications of a cabinet mem
ber which Mr. WUioli seems to think are
vital. Neither on made political
speeches. &ut with th battery of
- speakers which , has now been collected
by the president, there will be enough
administration spokesmen to make up
tor the president's own inability to rs
- sums the fight on the stamp.
SITUATION TJBCHASOED
t But there has been no session of the
' Wilson cabinet yet to talk over plans
fr th campaign or the matters of gov-
ernment which th cabinet members are
supposed to be dealing with. Ever since
last September, when Mr, Wilson took
tick, th executive branch of the gov
ernment has been centralised. Cohesion
waa confidently expected when Mr. Wil
ton dismissed Mr. Lansing, but for some
unexplained reason, the situation hasn't
t'.s shanged a bit from the days when en
forced confinement Inside the White
- House kept the president detached from
' hi cabinet. Presidents differ, however,
in their estimate of the value of cabi
( nets. Mr. Wilson has never leaned
heavily on his cabinet, He got accus-v-
tomed to the elimination of one cabinet
meeting every week during the war.
and ol course when he went abroad he
kept In touch in only the most super
h flclal way with the heads of the differ
ent department, Looking back over
nearly two year, Mr, Wilson has seen
very little of his cabinet, either collec
tlvely or Individually, and has estab-
' ilshed thus far the record of holding no
caoinei meetings wnaisoever for more
'Jian seven months.
