WaShington.-Th first real speak

follow the recent election. Ever since
the famous /Crisp-AIills contest the
speakershlp has gone to some man
by practically unanimous consent.
With the Republicans returning 20
power after eight years, there is likely
to be quite spirited struggle among
q number of men who will no doubt
consider themselves eligible. If for
nler Minority Leader Mann is in physi-
cal condition he will likely be a candi-
date. Gillett of Massachusetts, who
has been acting minority leader, Is
sure to be a candidate. Then there are
j. Hampton Moore of Pennsylvania,
Frank w. MOndell of Wyoming, Julius
Kahn of California, Nicholas Long
worth and Simeon ID. Fess of Ohio, and
Joseph w Fordney of Michigan, all Of
whom may be il the race at least for a
little While. AS it is possible that the
Republicans will restore to the speaker
the power TO appoint committees the
position may be much more valuable
than it has been during the past eight
years.

Indications are that trade between
nations will be humming after the
war. Already't the department of COM
merce has arranged a program call
ing for large increase in the number
of commercial attaches in foreign
countries. There are only IL of these
attaches at present, but the depart
ment has asked congress to appropri-
ate for Is altogether. Commercial at
taches are employed for their ability
to scent business from a distance, re-
port on trade conditions in foreign
countries and give advice and assist
ance to American firms desiring to do
business with foreign houses. Great
Britain proposes to have 81 of these
attaches in her service, and Germany
will probably have more than all other
countries together. She will probably
need them.

Interstate commerce, Cummins of
Iowa; military affairs, Wadsworth of

Probably Senator Lodge will have
his choice of two other positions, that
of being majority leader, or president

than either, the great qualification to

Already there has been speculation
as to the organization Of the house of
representatives and also In regard to
the chairmanships of the several COM
mittees. The selection of a speaker
will have something tn do with the
chafrmanAhips. If Congressman Gil
lett of MaSsac husetts Is elected speak
er the craftsmanship OF the important
committee on appropriations would go
to Good Of Iowa, but If Gillett is not
speaker he will be chairman of that
committee. Other chairmanships of
first class committees are likely to be
as follows: Ways and means, Ford
ney Of Michigan; agriculture. Haugen
Of Iowa banking and currency, Hayes
of California; foreign affairs, Porter
of Pennsylvania interstate and for
eign commerce, Esch of Wisconsin;
judiciary, VOlStead OF Minnesota mill
tary affairs. Kahn of California; naval
affairs, Butler Of Pennsylvania post
offices, Stevenson of Minnesota; pub
lie lands, La Toilette of Washington.
The men thus named are ranking Re-
publican members of these committees
at the present time. OF course there
may be a number of upaets in these
calculations. but the probabilities are
that nearly all of the ranking Repub-
lican members of committees will be
advanced to chairmanships particular
ly If the house elects the committees
and they are not appointed by the
speaker.

Quite number of American boys
who have had a more or less hazy idea
that kings were the worst class of peo-
pie on earth, may come back from Eu'
rope after the war with a different
view on that subject. King George of
England seems TO be making himself
solid with the Yanks. He has eaten
"fapiacks" and apple pie and chatted
with any number of wounded soldiers
at hospitals in England. That is one
of the great benefits to be got from
this war. There is not man who
Games back from Europe who will not
have gained a clearer and truer view
of other peoples. Whether or not 1t
has any good points, no one can deny
that war is a great educator.

The recent election rearranges a
number of presidential states. Natu-
rally the victory of the Republicans
gives them great deal of cnfi-
dence, and they hope to elect the
next president. 1t is pointed out that
for more than 80 years the success of
party at the midterm congressional
elections has forecast the result of the
next presidential election.
Generally speaking, politicians be-
lieve that the election has given cand1-
dates other than President Wilson or
Secretary McAdoo quite a boost. and
eyes have been turned toward Cover
nor Cox of Ohio. In fact, it might
happen that both candidates in 1870
would be from Ohio, as Senator Hard
ing might be the Republican nominee
1t is generally conceded that the
election removes at least two eastern
candidates, Senator Weeks of Massa-
chusetts and Governor Whitman or
New York, thus In the East clearing
the way for Colonel Roosevelt if he
should make the race.
