TAFT APPOINTS KNOX Former Attorney General An nounced as Premier of Cabinet. PBESIDENT-ELECT WELCOMED By August xns—Lest no Time in Inspect ing Golf Course ard Pronounced Them Fine. Augusta, Ga. William H. Taft, president-elect of the United States, announced the appointment of United States Senator Philander C. Knox of Pennsylvania as secretary of state in his cabinet. The announcement followed the re ceipt by Mr. Taft of a telegram con veying the information from Mr. Knox that he would accept the pre miership of the Taft cabinet. Mr. Taft, without delay, made the an nouncement that the matter was set tled. In giving the details of the nego tiations, he said that the offer was made to Mr. Knox in New York; that since the offer he had not heard from Mr. Knox until the telegram he re ceived upon his arrival here. “I feel that I am to be congrat ulated in securing the service of Sen ator Knox in my cabinet,” said Judge Taft, in making the announcement, and making the statement with the understanding that he was to be quo ted. ‘‘ln selecting a secretary of state, I wanted first a great lawyer, and, second, a man who would fill the public eye, not only here, but abroad, as a man who stands out pre-eminent ly as a great American. ‘‘Mr. Knox was a great attorney general* he was a prominent candi date for the presidency, and is rec ognized in the senate and elsewhere as one of the great lawyers of that body.” Judge Taft also feels that from a political viewpoint the selection of Mr. Knox is most happy. He explain ed that there was often a feeling that the state of Pennsylvania, with its assured republican majorities, often was slighted in the matter of recog nition in the high councils of the party. Senator Knox’s first appearance as a national figure was when he en tered the cabinet of William McKin ley as attorney general, in 1901, to succeed John W. Griggs of New Jer sey. He was continued in the same office by President Roosevelt, and continued to serve until he resigned in 1904 to accept the appointment of United States senator from Pennsyl vania. „ . The arrival of the Taft family in Augusta, with the exception of Miss Helen, who is to reach here later, caused no small amount of joyous ex citement and demonstration on the part of the residents of the city. The reception accorded the president-elect was ample in expressing the feeling of cordial southern hospitality. Judge Taft lost no time in getting out to the golf course, and pronounc ed it much to his liking, although he said he would have to get familiar with the sand greens, which were a little difficult after his play on the grass.

The United States used fifty-six grains. There are at least one million opium users in this coun try.” The people of Chicago are suffering from melancholia because they have too few amusements and too much se verity in life* They ought to get all the wholesome fun possible out of life. This was the view expressed by the Rev. Johnston Myers, in an address to Baptist ministers of that city. The speaker made a plea for the theater, the dance and a more tolerant application of religion.

It is not feasible and desirable at the present time for the government to purchase, to install or to operate pneumatic tubes. This is one of the most important conclusions reached by a commission appointed by the postmaster general to inquire into the question of the feasibility and desir ability of the government purchasing and operating pneumatic tubes in the cities where the service is now in stalled, which was transmitted to congress by Postmaster General Mey er, the conclusions of which he ap proves.
