The Cabinet and Infallibility.
Mr. Rims of Tennessee is right abo
one thins. A cabinet officer should gb
bis chief only good advice. As he is i
adviser and a friend, he should have
mind always the interests of his chi
and those of the country. That course
dictated by both friendship and patrio
ism.
Bui to err is human; and sometim
cabinet officers are human. Several
our history have been anions the huma
est of mortals. Suppose a cabinet offlc
does.hi? best. SupiKise he studies evei
question presented to him thoroughly ar
conscientiously, and passes upon all
the fairest spirit he can command, at
j et blunders. What would Mr. Sims re
ommond in his case? The rope? Wou
he have him hanged?
Of course not. The gentleman fro
Tennessee is neither a novice in publ
affairs, nor a hard-hearted individual. I
has seen sixteen years' service in tl
House, and has impressed himself on h
associates as of amiable disposition,
sometimes stern of statement.
Neither is he a humorist. We may a
he sure that what he said in the llou;
Saturday on the subject of the Wllsc
cabinet had a serious and benefice!
meaning.
Shall we err if 4we place a warning i
Mr. Sims' speech? Did he not in dai
gling the noose before cabinet aspiran
intend to frighten off the least qualifle
of those now pressing for recognition
He reads the papers, hears the gossip <
the congressional cloakrooms, and keej
informed about all cabinet speculatioi
He sees Mr. X.. a county court lawye
charged to the lips with patt r about th
trusts, mentioned for the Attorney Ger
eralship. He notes with amazement th
mention for the Secretaryship of Agr;
culture of Mr Z who is a fancy farmei
familiar with the latest thing in pigpen
and not much else.
This evidently has given Mr. Sims paus<
as it has a good many other experience

to the assistance of Mr. Wilson. 11
wants the best men for the cabinet, an
if he makes his tests too severe; if h
leaves out the element of fallibility
which applies even to a cabinet officer?h
errs with excellent intentions.
The country is wishing Mr. Wilson tf
best of luck with his task. It is colossi
and very difficult. No list of names
awaited with half the interest that a
tat lies to that which will show the ax
visers the new President has selected 1
aid him in redeeming the promises mad
by the democracy last November. Ma
they all be worthy of their posts. Bi
that a single one will be of infallible judf
ment is hardly a reasonable requiremen
and should not be an expectation.
The Spring Clean-Up.
Already plans are being mapped out fo
a spring clean-up campaign in Washing
ton following the lines of that inaugu
rated and forwarded last year by Th
Star?a campaign which promises to bt
come an annual affair. The olean-u
campaign captains have met and hav
roughly drafted their plan of attac
against debris and unsightly and insan
tary accumulations. The city will be sut
divided into districts, with a leader,
committee and a host of sanitary cohort!
Citizens interested in better sanitation wl
be marshaled and those who are indiffei
ent will be aroused. The evils and dar
gers of dirt will be impressed on everj
body and waste and refuse will be fougl
along the whole line. The result will t
that the capital will be cleaner, antij
athv to dirt will be inculcated In larg
numbers of people, and a practical ur
derstanding of sanitation will be extern
?d In the community. This is to be tf
second annual spring-clean-up. The firs
w as a success. It made the city loo
spick and span, it encouraged many pe<
pie to become better housekeepers, an
it promoted civic pride and spirit.
Great progress has been made in th
matter of civic neatness and cleanllnes
The educational process lias been necei
sarily slow, but the results have bee
satisfactory. It Is becoming rare to tin
a street cumbered with litter. A strei
littered with paper and other waste us*
to be an ordinary spectacle. Now tl
same persons who formerly aided or ei
couraged such a condition would resei
it. Trash boxes at the street corners an
In the parks are more and more patrol
Jzed. It used to be that a man with a
apple core, a fruit peel or a bit of pap<
would throw such tilings into the stre?
Now he walks across the street to dr<
them into a trasli box or carries the
along until he comes to such a place i
deposit. This Is a change that Is re
progress. There is still room for in
provement, but the habits of cleanline
and order grow with their practice, ar
time will come when city streets will 1
clean beyond the dreams of early citizen
The cltan-up campaign is a good thii
iii itself, and a good tiling in niakli
converts to ttiat Increasing class of mi
and women who practice little clean-i
campaigns on their own initiative ai
account every day in the year.

on for interest and excitement.
Benches in the House.
A perplexing problem approaches sol
tion in the action of the House of Repi
sentatives in agreeing to a change in t
seating arrangements of the south chai
ber by which benches will be substitut
for chairs and Individual desks.
There are several cogent reasons w
the l?ench plan Is better than the presc
ai rangement. but only one of these re
sons influenced the House in agreeing
the new order. The cause of this act!
is found in the fact stated by Mr. Fi
geratd in presenting the resolution tl
"there are .'?!*? members of tbe prese
llotise. and it is obvious to all that t
hall 1s crowded to Its utmost. There v
be 435, members in tiie next House, a
some change is absolutely necessary
acconimo* me them." As loug as t
tf
^ chancre has been deemed necessary. It Is
* to be made promptly, and the benches
will. be in place when the extra jpession
opens.
8ome of the things to be said in favor
of benches are that the debate area of the
hall will be reduced, and that a reasonAble
speaker with a reasonable voice will
? be apt to be heard by those members
or who want to hear, and as a speaker will
expect to be heard, he may be more careful
of his speech- Another point Is that
members reading books and papers, writing
letters to constituents and receiving
os. visits from other members will not be disturbed
as they now are bv representaid.
tives who are speaking to their home constituents,
talking to the galleries, or who
happen to be making a real speech. Deity
bate may be carried on with less wear
and tear on the lungs of the debaters and
U>. less interference with those who have no
cb Interest in the debate.
The removal of the individual desks
presupposes that members who have had
a liberal allowance of office room made
t?. for themselves and by themselves in the
,r" House office building will carry on their
? office work in their offices and not in the
at hall of the House. This is going to he a
hardship on some members, for when
? working in their offices there will be no
0f thronged gallery of spectators to observe
il'I their industry. And as all the office work
of representatives is not always done bins
their clerks and other clerks, the bench
rule may have an adverse effect on at=
tendance on the floor of the House. However.
the new arrangement, which is the
result of much Investigation and planning
ut by a commission, while inevitable, ought
l'e also to be promotive of better legislative
in order.
,n The legislative bench plan is the English
way. This fact has been used both as an
18 argument for and against the change.
The new arrangement is worth a trial,
and after experiment, if it does not meet
PS the approval of the House, the memberin
ship can in some way enlarge the hall of
n" the House, enlarge the Capitol, or reduce
er the membership of the House. The popurv
lation of the country will have to stop
1(* growing, or the ratio of population to
'n representation in the House will have to
be increased, or the hall of the House will
r~ have to he enlarged, or members of the
House will have to occupy less space.
m
ic Mr. Wilson at Chicago. j
'c Two things should be taken into account
by those who are disappointed In Mr.
is Wilson s Chicago speech: (1) The enif
"n . mnil/t hftfnrn Alpption daV.
and (2) it was not advisable for him to
foreshadow his tirst message to Conse
gress. Tie would not break his engagem
ment. and he could not afford to break
nt his silence as to policies in advance of the
assumption of his presidential duties. How
'n well he acquitted himself of a difficult
task is of course a matter of opinion.
The company, we are told, included
'9 many men prominent in the business
^ world. And naturally. The three leading
questions of the hour have to do most
)S searchingly and directly with business.
The tariff touches business at all points.
' Trusts touch it at many points. And
currency reform is a more puzzling problem
than the other two. At present the
business world is at sea about it.
But did these business men get a llhe
g on anything detinlte respecting Mr. Wilson's
attitude or probable recommendations
to Congress on those subjects? Not
j a line. It would be impossible to draw
v a tariff, a trust, or a currency bill from
' anything he said. His views and intend
tions in detail are still his own. He used
ie his words?as politicians and diplomats
_ often do?to conceal his thoughts.
The President-elect indulged himself
only to the extent of throwing a scare
le into his hearers In general lerms. He deal
clared that business methods are much
j9 out of plumb, and must be straightened.
The public has lost confidence in the business
world, and that confidence must be
0 regained. How? That will be shown
le later. Walt until Congress meets, and
U.ia macoocret fAOQ in. EVftrVthillfi! ill
y IllO uiveowQv ovvw ? - 0
it order.
f. But there is this qualification. Not ail
t, business men are crooks, while some of
those who pursue crooked courses are not
aware of the fact. This will make it ,
less difficult to effect reforms when the
task is undertaken. There will be a
r basis of honesty and square dealing to
build upon.
i. In general talk, trusts are divided into
e two classes?good, and bad. The good
trust is my trust, and the bad trust yours,
p So now with business men, according to
e Mr. Wilson. Some are crooks, and some
k are not. The crooks must be made
I- straight. The straight must have a bet- ,
>- ter chance. How? Wralt. Congress will
a meet in extra session not later than
s. April.
1 Meanwhile, Mr. Wilson will be busy at
r" Trenton with New Jersey affairs, and out
l~ of the contentions there a tip or two
r~ may issue as to what may be expected
when he transfers his activity to this
,e town. In the main, however, all must
wait until the first message to Congress
e reveals, if it does reveal, the actual sitj"
uation and prospects.

JJj Progress of the Loan Shark Bill.
Another step has been taken in the way
of putting the loan shark bill upon the
statute books, as the Senate Saturday
,s afternoon adopted the conference report
t-s oft that bill. Two more steps remain to
ed be taken?adoption of the conference report
by the House ;and approval by the
* * ? *- ??
1'resident- 1 iwre IS uu auuui mai nit?
House will adopt the report of the conferees
and the final step is a matter of
lu* course.
e- When the conferees on the part of the
he Senate and the House reached their
agreement, which- was a compromise in
cd which it would appear that the Senate
conferees did most of the compromising,
hy there was, perhaps, some question as to
'nt the adoption by the Senate of the oon>a
ference report because those representing
to the Senate had yielded on the proposition
on which extended the provisions of the bill
tz- to pawnbrokers. On the Senate side there
at was no disposition to Include pawnbromt
kers within the terms of the loan shark
he bill and to reduce their interest charges
'111 from 3 per cent a month to 1 per cent a
nd month?from 36 per cent a year to 12 per
to cent.
iia There wafiweason, however, in the argu
ment that if money lenders on notes, I
furniture and such could continue in their
business on a 12 per cent basis, where
they have to Investigate their "clients" or
"risks," and record chattel mortgages;
the pawnbroker, who has the cdllaYefat
brought to him. takes it over into his
possession and lends on it only part of
its probable sale price, ought also to be
able to do business on a 12 per cent a
year basis. {
. However, there was no public Indignation
against the pawnbroker. * Ufi observes
rather rigid police regulations,
framed for the conduct of his business, or
he answers to the police for violations.
He makes no charge other than* his "interest
charge. A man pawning his" watch
knew Just what it was golhg to cost him
to get it back at the end of a month or
at any other time within the period when
the law would allow It to be offered for
sale.
The House having gained its contention
on the pawnbroker proposition, the point
or dispute between the two houses
threatening the most serious consequences
is removed, and there would seem
no reason why the House should not
promptly ratify the conference report.
Canneries Should Be Clean.
The revelation as to conditions in the
canning industry in parts of New York,
as shown by The Sunday Star's report of
a hearing before the House committee
on rules. Is of direct concern to the people
of Washington. The use of canned
food has become general and seems to
be becoming universal. People are prone
to accept pretty- labels as proof that the
content of the tins 1s clean and whole
some. The preparation of canned food
should be closely inquired into by competent
authority and the health Interest
of consumers guarded. ?
There is another ^feature of the canning
industry of interest'to Washington.
This city is close to great, producln? *n<i
potential canning regions. The - eaaterfk- "
shore counties of Maryland are already
heavily engaged in the canning business,
and the business is making a strong
growth in the lower Potomac country,
on both the Maryland and Virginia
shores. The lands on the lower river,
especially adapted to the cultivation of
vegetables, are being planted and the
crops worked up and preserved by canneries.
The area of land devoted to such
use is steadily being enlarged.
New York restaurants in which strikes
occurred have demonstrated that the
waiter can be dispensed with, so long
as the cooks and the customers remain
in attendance.
Ettor is one of the men who combine
freedom of speech with freedom from
serious thought of the consequences.
Occasionally the extempore speech
proves almost as annoying as the snapshot
interview.
