CONFIRMED FOR A lob
WHICH IS NOT VACANT

Uncle Sam has an assistant secretary
Of the Treasury with no place to put him
in.
1t is this way: James II. Moyle has been
confirmed by the Senate for the post OF
assistant secretary of the Treasury. There
is no such vacant place for him to fill.
Byron r Newton, assistant secretary OF
the Treasury, has been named for col
lector of the port of New York. He has
been too busy doing his regular work to
submit his resignation, and he cannot let
go until some one takes his job without in
jury to the public service.
The nomination of Mr.. Newton to be
collector went to the Senate first. The
nomination of Mr.. Moyle. which fol-
lowed. was acted on first. The collec-
torship was matter for the Senate
committee on commerce. which seems
to be proceeding slowly. The co2m1t-
tee on finance. to which the nomina- =
ton of Mr.. Moyle was referred. was
quicker on the trigger.
There does not seem any reason to
anticipate anything but fair adjust
ment of the situation. Mr.. Moyle can
not be sworn in until there is va
cancy. even ii he is the only one on
the waiting list: but he need not con-
slider himself on the anxious bench.
His time will come.
