REVISING THE CABINET.

President's Adviaen Are Secret frlenda of the Railroad*. So Mr. Paul Morton Is to leave the cabinet and return to his former occupation of railroading. He will doubtless be ngalu active In the distribution of rebates and in fixing up discriminating rntes In favor of shippers who are able to demand them. Ills experience lu public affairs will be valuable in helping him to know how In future to escape detection by the agents of the department of commerce and labor. He will doubtless be able to put a nail lu tire coffin in which the bill for regulating rates will be burled. Who will sit in his place at the cabinet table and advise the president how the railroads plunder the people? From what Secretary Taft said and the president Indorsed in his last Chicago speech to the Chicago Democrats the administration has nailed its colors to the mast, for power to be given the Interstate commerce commission to fix maximum rates. No wonder a professed railroad man must get out of the cabinet, but wbnt will the president do with his other advisers? They are all secret friends of the railroads'nnd have railroad passes In their pockets.
