NOT PAY DEBTS LINCOLN, Neb., Jun. 0. Thnt President-elect Woodrow Wilson may bo governed by higher motives than gratitude in selecting tho members of his official family is tho hope voiced by William J. I try a it in tho current issue of the Commoner. "Cabinet positions," says the arti cle, "ought not to bo rognrded as currency with which to pay political debts.. In filling them, tho president elect should look to tho future and not tn the past. A public official has no right to discharge political obliga tions at tho expense of tho public, "The men Wilson selects should not bo selected, not becauso of political service rendered him or- even becauso of past .service rendered tho demo cratic party. Tho offices should bo used to strengthen tho party and ad vance those things for which tin party stands, ' "Tho Commoner declines to discuss cabinet position possibilities, hut it ventures to express tho hope that Wilson will bo govorncd by higher motives than grutitudu in selecting the members of his cubiuet."
