A job as Minister Of Agriculture and
immigration In the Dominican Republic
may be obtained by a yOlIth with degree

apply TO Emilio Tejera Bonetti. Minister
Of Communications. Promotion and Pub
lie Works. Santo Domingo. X. ID. The
Dominican Republic is more than an xioug
10 have its Cabinet complete. and ever
since First t-Assistant-P Passed Retired Ma
jor-oen. Bonetti quit the Agricultural
aud ImmiRratinS office to become Min
iSter Of Communications, Promotion and
Public Works the most important and
least remunsrative ofico in this island
republic has been vacant. For the last
six months IL didn't 80 much matter Il
one member of President Ramon Caceres's
Cabinet was missing. bur now that the
Cabinet and the President have quar-
relied over a lady the President IN an xious
gradually TO replace his councillors with
friends.
How the President and his Cabinet
fell out doesn't 20 much matter. though
twas told in Yesterdays SUN. The rock
bottom fact in that President Caoeres N
determined so get rid Of his advisers ~
EaR. a. he can. He can't do it very fast
because anything like rashness would
precipitate ths foTtnightly revolution
before IL IL due. Like as not President
CAceFes would IN caught unprcpared with
n speech 60 soothe the populAce and lose
his own four years more job.
You see as things are now the President
knows that a mob will collect And attack
the palace every other saturday night at
1:I5. Dominican time. He has things all
fixed. He Just comes ont on the south
west balcony with his bosom barred IN
courageous defiance and makes an slo-
quent speech which turns the rebels INTO
supporters. The army u disAfected
every Tuesday at i:O p. NJ. and the
Minister Of War and Marine comes around
and gets his resignation refused ana sti-
quetts II satisfied. Nothing could be
more punctilioJs than President Caceres's
administration.
So when few weeks ago the President
d ecided that the Cabinet must go. all
except p. T. Bonetti. =. A. =. r. IA. a.,
and Minister e. p. and w.. who alone

he must he careful about u. II occurred
90 the versatile CaceTes that the best way
Co do Was Co al the vacant Ministry with
a complete stranger who wouldn't be
trying to graft and who would stick by
him IN the impending troubles. Then
after q little the various Ministers of the
existing Cabinet could he exported 90

would be- no more than the usual popular
uprisings and the President would not
have To become eStemporaneously eio-

That il why American youths have this
splendid opportunity open to them
President Caceres. in desiring Minister
Bonetti to make a still hunt for new
Minister, said that he would prefer a man
Of light complexion and naughty mien
with "A title or degree 20 start with. The
degree - not essential, though. since
several titles will at once be cOnferred on
the chosen youth. Any degree will do
but as a rule the longer II y the better.
Thus an v. y. V. p would stand a better
chance than even a ID. ID.
The Ministry Of Agriculture and Irnmi-
grafton in the Dominican Republic does
rot az present pay a. much a. the other
Cabinet offices but President Caceres
saws he will 80 60 II that the right man
IN the Job gets his'n. There are NO 60
[ p-cial duties connertad with the oslce
b@vond getting out the agricultural vote
and bringing in the immigrant vote.
Then there - always the chance OF a revo-
mtion making the Minister President,
which II a six year job aud requires only
a modicum OF tact.
Another excellent opportunity for an
enterprising lad who IL determined 10
be heard from offers IN Ecuador a country
on the west coast Of South America which
may he reached IN several ways. The
Office of Public Instruction has been
vacant there for several wears because
OF c quarrel between the school teachers

men teachers get gun fizZes. A diplo-
mat 10 young man could probably solve
the question by forbldding both hard and
soft drinhs but allowing free cigarettes
TO teachers Of both sexes. II there wan
no revolution TO help him along he might
run for President on Prohibition ticket.
The best openings for any young Ameri-
can are 70 be found in Turkey. where things
are still upset by the sudden departure
Of Abdul HAmid. The Ministries OF Jus

all open 70 tho right men.
