It i.- understood that Socretary Knox
Hiui Si cn t..i j u llson are" also on tho
. . -1 II ri malns ??Ith Knox
to decide whether hc Is to remain, aml
n llson has personal reasons for his
desirc to hang on a llttlo longer. A
Senator of tlistinctlon, who has talked
with the Presldent. says that. Knox
more than once has expressed lil's de
fcire to lay down hls* work as Secre?
tary of State. lt ls even intlmated
that hls lrlerids suggested a way out
to the Presldent last month. The sug
gestlpn was to make Knox Chlef jus?
tice 'of the Supreme Court, and both
Senators from Pennsylvanla took
warmly to the proposltlon. Mr. Taft,
however, could not be brought to h
view the suggestlon serlously, and
Knox was passed by. 'Attorney-Gen- I
eral Wlckersham is blamed for thls '
blow to the ambltlon of Secretary i
Knox.
lndeed, it Is sald that the controlllng
influence of Wlckershum ln many!
AVhlte House matters, backed by Sen?
ator Root's advice, has much to oo
with the desire of Knox to retlre. He
feels that he ls not the ranklng mem?
ber uf the Cabinet, and that hls plans
have been unduly interfercd wlth. Mr.
Taft, however. is fond of Knox, and
i-egards him as splendldly lltted for
certain work whlch must be linlshed
through diplomatU- clrcles, Several
Senators are confident that Knox wlll
not remain, and the. fact thnt the
President has discussed a probable
siucessof show:. there is uncertalnty.
Ballinger musi get out. Ile flnds
that the sentlmcnt of many former
Senute frlends ls against hlm, and the
belief is thal hls reslgnatlon has boen
liled, to take effect on March 4. This
seems so settled that powerful friends
of James A. Tawney already have be
gun to work in hls behalf wlth the
Presldent They say thero ls no doubt
of hls ntness aml that the appolntment
-would be popular: Hls defeat for Con?
gress they do not regard as a factor
against hlm, but thc Presldent wlll
hesltate before puttlng into hls Cabi?
net a man who was rojectcd for thc
House of Rcpresentatlves last month
by a strong Republican eonstituency.
lt is said a majority of the Republican
Senators wlll get behind Tawney.
li is generally conccded that Mac
Veagh is retlrlng partly beeause of
lll health. It is agreed he has acooni
pllshi-d a lot of work in reforming the
Treasury Department. Only two names
are mentionod ln the gosslp comlng
from Senators who have been in the
Whito House. Mr. Taft is said to look
with oxtreme favor on Charles D. Nor
ton, his secretary. The rrcsident has
eonic to rely more and more upon Nor
ton in very important questions and
has found hlm a broadly equlpped man.
Norton's name has been mentioned in
ronversation by the Presldent, but a
few of his callers have suggested Col?
lector Loeb. of New York. These men
say that L,oeb's grasp of governniental
affalrs through hls servlce ln tho
Whlte House and his knowlcdge of the
Treasury Doft-rrtment would prove In
valuablo t/> lhe- President. Secretary
Norton, however, leads in all the gos
slp relatlng to MacVcagh's successor.
It is not lmprobable. ho*vever, that
when the proposed Cabinei changes get
down to linal dtscuslon that the Frea
ident may take at least one of his
new men from thc dlstlnctly progres?
sive group of Republlcans.
Thls would do much to ereate thc
harmonious situation which the Presl?
dent desires after March 4, whon the
lower branch of Congress wlll be hos
tlle to hls adminietratlon. It v.-ould
also stop much of the crlticisni heard
about Wickersham. in respect of the
last named man. hls stoutest defonder
ls the Presldent. Mr. Taft ls convlnced
that wlthln a year the Department of
Justice wlll have proved Itself effectivo
against the criminal Irusts and wlll
have convlcted some of the big tlsh
that have always escaped the Attorney
General's net. Wlckersham, lt ls lii
sisted. is golng about hls business in
the right way and has accumulated a
tremendotis amount of evl lence that
the courts will admlt in the criminal
prosecutlon of men who have been or
are to be lndicted. The President *?>.
pects that thls feat of the Department
of Justice wlll do much to prove tliat
tlie Republican party proposes to carry
out Us pledges. All efforts to get
V.'hlte House conflrmation to-night of
the Cabinet changes falled, but so
many Senators admlt a knowledge of
thc case that there can be little doubt
the President ls preparlr-g for a reor
ganlzation
There ls also-talk that Mr Taft Is
uslng all hls persuaslon to unite the
Republlcans m the Senate. He may
be successful when Aldrich goes out.
Tho Insurgents, so called, La Follctte
excepted, seem lncllned to moet thu
Presldent's view, provldlng lhat cer?
tain pledges tor leglslatlon aro made
part of the program. lt would not be
surprlslng to flnd after March 1 that
there Wlll be far more harmony than
was looked for when the November
election returns iv'ei'e heard.

Co-Executor
with the
We have had five executed wills filed with us during the past ten
days, and in one of them the party named his wife co-executor with
this Company. After the settlement of his estate he directs that it
shall all be held in trust by this Company, the income to be paid to his
wife and children.
We have taken somewhat larger space than iisual to bring this
point to public attention, for the idea will doubtless commend itself
to many men.
When the will above referred tois executed, this Company will attend
to all the details of settlement as Executor, and the usual commissions
allowed by law will be equally divided between the wife and the Trust
Company.
We invite a personal intervi w or correspondencc with any gentle?
man in Richmond or the State of Virginia to whom the suggestlon
appeals -and there are many good men to whom it SHOULD aDDeal
and who do not realize the fearful responsibility they are placing upon
the shoulders of their vyives when hey, having no business experience,
are calied upon to settle the husband's estate.
