A new Secretary of the Treas

goes 70 the Senate. Why not put
Mr.. Roper, Collector of Internal
Revenue, at the head of the United

American Senate, fortunately, has
regulated the clock, set IL to run
ming on the American PIN. This
country can stand a good deal Of
the isolation that consists In mind

Men In all countries have mutt
