Sunday blue laws were attacked last
night by DR.. Henry van Dyke, of
Princeton, formerly Minister to the
Netherlands, in an address at the Pill
grim tercentenary celebration at the
Academy of Music, Brooklyn.
II think it no use," he said "to try
to make men godly and righteous by
legislation. We cannot force on men
our beliefs or our way of observing
Ssnday, or anything else. My idea of
the Lords Day in our civilized Chris
tian community would be to have a
great park with & temple in the middle
of it and have no one obliged TO go
to it, but welcome for all those who
did want to enter"
DR.. van Dyke compared the red men
of 500 years ago with present-day
criminals in New York City.
"The Indian could be as mean and
ugly and dirty" he said, "as the
white-skinned savages now terrorizing
Brooklyn and New York, and they
reeded just what the white skinned
savages need-punishmen swift, sure
and without mitigation. The trouble
with our present laws and authorities S
is that they terrorize nobody but the
taxpayer. | am sick to death of wor

need is more bricklayers and car
penters"

Senate Confirms Nugent
On Trade Commission
Federal Place Given to Wilson
Appointee Through Courtesy
Of Colleagues

From, The 7ribune'S Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, Dec. 90 - Senator
John r. Nugent, of Idaho, was ap-
pointed to the Federal Trade Commits
sion by President Wilson to- day He
was soon after confirmed by The Senate
in open session at the request Of his
colleague, Senator Borah, and as a re-
suit of that tradition of the Senate
whereby the nomination of one of its
number to Office is never opposed for
confirmation.
Thus, although the Senate will refuse
to confirm thousands of Democratic
nominations. between now and March A
Senator Nugent, by reason of Senatorial
courtesy. is fortunate enough to obtain
confirmation without an effort
Senator Nugent is named to succeed
". B. Colver, a Wilson Democrat. He
is not expected to resign from the
Senate INN ediately and may remain in
that body until March 4. If he resigns
later in the session, Governor Davis,
Republican, will appoint the Senator
elect, former Governor Gooding.
Nugent is the only appointee by
President Wilson to be confirmed thus
far in the present session.

Hays Is i'm Line
For Senate or
Cabinet Place
Conference i'll Indianapolis
to Decide WhetherHe VIII
Receive Portfolio or Sue
ceed New in Upper House
Senator May Get War Post
Congressional Seat Would
Be Filled by Governor;
Republican Chief Silent

Whether Will II. Hays shall become
member of the Harding Cabinet or
whether United States Senator Harry
S. New shall become a Cabinet mem
Der, leaving a Senate sest to be filed
by the appointment Of Chairman Hays
will be determined at q conference to
be held in Indianapolis this week ac-
cordng to advices received last night
from Indiana.
Chairman Hays when seen last night
at the Waldorf Astoria refused TO dis
the subject further than to say
nat he expected to be in Indianapolis
this week for conference with the
leaders there.
1t is known to certainty chat
Chairman Hays can have a Cabinet
place if he can see his way clear to
accept it. The matter was virtually
settled last week that he would 90 into
the Cabinet, when the Republican lead
ers in Indiana began to use pressure
to dissuade him, urging that re sep
aside for Senator New, who probably
would be made Secretary OF War, and
accept the Senatorship. This arrange
ment would give Chairman Hays a
two-year term before regular cleo
insure him, the Indiana men say, OF an
election in 1922 to the full six-year
term without serious opposition.
McCray Wants ays for Senator
Advices from indiana last II yht said
that Governor James Z. Goodrich and
Governor-elect Warren McCray, both
of whom a.e personal friends Of Hays,
want him for Senator and New in the
Harding Cabinet.
The political background includes
ex-senator A bert }. Bevcridge, a re-
ceptive candidate for United States
Senator at t. g first opportunity. 1t is
understood in Indiana organization
circles that Mr.. Beveridge, who broke
away from t.e regular organization by
becoming a Progressive in 1912, is to
be candidate for Senator two years
hence, when Senator News term ex-
pires. He is said to be strong with
the electorate, and the ~egular organ;-
zation men prefer to maneuver so as
TO avoid primary fight if that thing
is possible.
They say that Hays and Beveridge
are such good friends that if Hays
should be candidate for Senator at
the expiration of short term follow
ing his appointment TO the New
vacancy, Mr.. Beveridge would not feel
Ike entering the pri. aries, thus pre-
serving harmony in the organization.
beverdge and New are not Sustaining
such cordial relations, it is said. and
Senator New would have q man-sizcd
battle IN the primaries to succeed
himself

Printing Facts

Our one-price policy not only
brought business, but it brought
to our house a name for response
bility which has proved a most
valuable asset. While the bar
gain-hunter does not come to us.
the finest clientele in the city is
found on our books.
These great corporations, which
have made a science of buying.
now feel that the prices we
charge are fair and representa-
tive prices for this locality. They
realize that we are operating
under ideal conditions and that
we are satisfied with a moderate
return on our investment. They
are persuaded that it is to their
interest to place their orders
with this modern, efficient, busi-
nesslike, highly responsible, and
tlne-honored printing house.

speech on agriculture delivered at the
Minnesota State Fair last September
on the first of the Harding excursions
away from the front porch. The ad-
vice of Mr.. Wallace was sought by Sen
ator Harding several other times dur
ing the campaign.
Brigader General Charles G. Dawes
the Chicago banker who was the A. Z
+. representative on the Allied pur-
chasing board during the war, spent
part of the morning talking with Sena-
tor Harding about reducing govern
mental expenditures and the relation
of such expenditures to taxation. Gen
eral Dawes has been mentioned as a
possible Secretary Of the Treasury,
but he denied to-day that his visit
had any significance in that direction.

lican Southern Bureau in the cam

did not discuss patronage. Mr.. Slemp

vor in Financial Bureau
By Carter Field

WASHINGTON, Dec. 20-Elihu Root
and Charles Z. Hughes are the two men
uppermost in Warren G. Hard;ngs mind
for Secretary Of State. Confidential
advices received here leave little room
for doubt on this point, and indicate
strongly that other names which have
been under consideration virtually have
been eliminated
One OF the real surprises in this con-
necton is that Senator Albert B. Fall
one of the staunchest enemies of the
League of Nations covenant, and. for
that matter, of the entire peace treaty.
urged the appointment Of Mr. Root as
Secretary Of State in his recent con
ference with the President-elect at
Marion. Mr.. Fall frequently has been
mentioned himself for Secretary of
State.
Another development which is less
surprising to we'll informed Republi-
can leaders is that Mr.. Root in his re-
cent talk with NJ Havdne- was il -
solute accord with the ideas Of the
l~en.-eloct I'll regard 20 an as-
sociatlon of nations as evolved so far
AS matter of fact, Root, Fall and
Harding, who during the treaty fight
year ago were espectivcly mild res
erVatlonist, irreconcilable and Lodge
reservatlonlst, are to-day virtually al
one with regard to foreign policy
Western Man for Treasury
Mr.. Harding has also rather definite
ly made up his mind that a Western
man will be made Secretary of tn =
Treasury. He wishes to name o man
who, geographically at least, will not
be regarded as a Wall Street man. and
thinks the public effect Of appointing a
man from someW heres west of the Alle
ghenies would have good popular eff
fect IN the Western country, where nc
love is lost on Wall Street.
Ihis attitude of mind shows rather
clearly that ex-senator John w. Weeks,
OF Massachusett will not get the
Treasury portfolio. Mr.. Weeks, It was
learned, has been strongly recommend
ed for Secretary of War, as we'll as
Navy and it g reported that he can
have the War portfolio if he wishes.
He is understood to be almost as much
averse to the War as to the NAVY mort
folio, which he has made clear that he
does not want. Mr.. Weeks has been
frequently mentioned of late for Sec
retary of Commerce.
Mr.. Harding is represented to be
eager to announce a Cabinet which wi
impress the country as Cabinet of
big men. He has told some visitors
that in his anxiety to get men of such
ca bor that ouolic corfilcn viii b.
inspired in the Administration he may
be compelled - run counter to some
very dear personal Friendships and
also to some conside rations of ordinary
politics.
Hoover Strong Probability
This frame of mind on the part of
Mr.. Harding has naturally resulted in
considerable speculation among the
Republican leaders here One instance
of the way it might work out, as ad-
vanced by those interested, is that he
would not hesitate to appoint two men
from the same state. Another confirms
the growing belief that Herbert c.
Hoover will be in the Cabinet. The

Of Tennessee, one Of the trio of Demo
cratic irreconcilables that includes
Gore, of Oklahoma. and Reed, of Mis-
souri,. After Mr. Harding had ex-
said that he found himself in accord
with the President eject. He also ex-
yressed qualification with Senator
, Iarding's determination to relieve the
present distress Of the agricultural
population of the United States.
Senator Shields and Senator Har-
ding had conference that lasted more
than an hour. Later Senator Shields
SAID:
81 would favor creation of great
int rnat!onal court of justice and q
to be administered by that court. The
court should have jurisdiction over all
controversies of nations ordinarily
known as justiciable, but no questions
involving the honor sovereignty and
independence of nations. These may
be arbitrated and, in order to prevent
wars, l would favor treaties providing
FOR conference of nations where all
reat and small, might be neard ac-
cording to their absolute equality and
IN pursuance of settled principles of
International law. But it should be so
framed that no nation would surrender
its sovereignty or its right to ex-
ercise its own discretion in all mat
ters which might arise.
Would Not Impugn Sovereignty
The system should be such that the
hited States, for example, would re-
main Tree, sovereign and independent
ana not be involved in the political
!ealousles and strifes of others regard
ing dynastles or territories. But we
should continue ready to do the inst
and righteous thing whenever occa ion
requires and our Judgment might die

1eel that there is good chance of pro-

Hoover appointment is considered to
MT IN almost perfectly with his inten-
ton to ignore Considerations of ordi-
nary politics. in reaching about for
men who not only are big, but who
VIII impress the country as being big.
The Hoover appointment, however.
would be regarded as very good politics
IN the large sense that it would be Il
popular appointment. Mr.. Hoover rep
resents no organization nor machine
strength in any definite locality, but an
astonishing number Of machine politi-
clans have tod the Tribune CORE
spondcnt in the last ten days that they
would heartily approve his inclusion
IN the Cabinet. These are not men
who particularly like Hoover. These
men were against him for the Prosi-
t~ntial nomination as 81 unit. But
they think his appointment would 90 a
long way in starting the Harding Ad
mlnlstration off right with the country
