Major Carson's Selection.

Mai John NJ. Carson's selection by the
President to fill the office OF chief of the
bureau of manufactures in the Department
Of Commerce and Labor Is most gratifying
10 those Washngtonians who have per-
ponally and officially known him for many
years and especially so to his professional
Associates. Maj. Carson occupies a posi-
lion among the newspaper correspondents
IN this city which is not fully described by
bis complimentary title as dean of the
corps. In addition TO being the man of
longest continuous Washington service he
stands in the front rank In point of char
acter and capability. He is not only a
journalist of long experience. but a most
Rble and useful member OF his profession.
Throughout his career he has stood for the
the highest Ideals. the soundest principles.
He has done much to maintain the old
fashioned standards. and he is the trusted
ronidant OF public officials in consequence
and often their efficient adviser upon ques-
hons OF public policy. His wide acquaint-
Rnce with the political field and his gen.
kral capacity TO master complex questions
are factors that cause his selection for this
important position 10 be regarded as ex-
ceptlonally fortunate. Should Mai. Car
Son accept the tender thus made TO him
he will not leave the community with which
he has been so long identified. and that is
IN additional reason for local qualification.

will tempt US all to neglect business and
buy yachts to SAL.
