Negro Supreme In Liberia,
but Must Endure Conditions
That Very Few Could Enjoy

The negro Is supreme in Liberia. No
one of another race can own land or
vote in the republic. But after consid-
live In Liberia must endure, as Emory
Ross outlines them in the Geograph-
ical Review, few people would care to
share the negro's privileges.
Besides the trying conditions Of ell
mate and disease, there is host of
pests. and little irritations constantly
occur. Moths eat up clothing; cock
reaches devour bookbindings and nest
in the cOokhouse; rats climb to impos.
sible locations and leave nothing but
the fragments of what they have eaten
there; white ants consume the sills of
houses and the rungs of chairs; driver
ants sweep through the house and
force every other living creature there
in. from the lord and master down to
the lurking lizard. to flee even in the
dead of night or In the midst of rain ;
jiggers bore under the skin of the foot
and lay their eggs; fleas bite; the heat
produces rash against which the
lightest clothing feels like ne,~les and
to crown ALL comes dhobie's itch.
These things and the proverbial one
thousand and one others like them arc
real and irritating at any time, bur
through the blur of ''touch of sun"
or the haze of a burning fever they as
sumo proportions out of all reason.
The OdOrs. the mists. the sights, the
sounds get on the nerves; the heavy,
dropping. silent impenetrable green
forest everywhere shuts one in like a
smOthering grave; the mind grows
sick. and the body follows. No one
should stay on the west coast of Africa
longer than 1S months at time.

AMAZED TO FIND
AMERICA is DRY
sleuths Swoop Down on wisconsin City,
Raid 40 Saloons, Nab 70 Men,
Seize Cargo of Booze.

Hurley. Wis, Dec. 2S.-Federal pro-
nearly two score saloons, arrested about
seventy persons and confiscated two
street car loads of whiskey in a raid
that started shortly before noon today
and continued for several hours. The
prisoners and evidence were first taken
to Ironwood and thence to Ashland,
Wis, where probably tomorrow the men
will be arraigned before United States
commissioner on charge of violating
the federal prohibition laws.
The raid was undertaken at the direc-
ton of Judge Kenesaw NJ. Lands, of
Chicago and was planned by Frank B,
Richardson, newly appointed prohibi-
tion enforcement agent for this district.
The crowd that followed the agents
down Silver street grew in a few min
utes to more than 200 persons, but
there was no demonstration, no audible
hints OF violence to the raiders; in fact,
the crowd seemed more disposed to make
it an occasion for a holiday.
From the viewpoint of a surprise par
ty, the affair was a complete success,
federal agents agreed. Street cars were
used to transport the agents, their pris-
oners and the liquor from Hurley to
Ironwood. A sleigh drawn by two hor-
ses followed the agents in their clean
up, and hauled the liquor to the street
cars. In Ironwood dray met the street
cars and took the liquor to special cars.
Moonshine, according to observers who
pretended to know, constituted the prin-
cipal "wet" haul

vigorous campaign, making speeches at
an early date in all the larger cities
of the state.

HUGHES MAY HEAD
HARDING CABINET
NO Announcement Made-Hays, Hoover
and Weeks Mentioned in List Of
seven Names Given.

Marion, O., Dec. 2S.-After weeks of
consideration and consultation, Presi-
dent-elect Harding is nearing a decis-
ion on several of his most important
appointments.
1t may be said authorftatively that
so far no such decision has been made,
and that any suggestions he may have
dropped on the subject have been of
tentative and indefinite nature. 1t is
equally certain, however, that in his
talks here with leaders in may walks
of life he has indicated clearly what
men are uppermost in his mind, as he
asks for advice on the makeup of his
official family.
Those who have discussed the ques-
tion with him intimately believe that
appointments under very serious con-
sideration include the following:-.
Charles E. Hughes of New York, sec
retary of state; Charles G. Dawes, of IL
linois, secretary of the treasury; John
w. Weeks, of Massachusetts, secretary
of the navy; Will H. Hays, of Indiana,
postmaster general or secretary of the
interior; Henry Wallace of Iowa, sec
retary of agriculture; Herbert Hoover,
of California, secretary of labor; and
Harry M. Daugherty, attorney general
How many of these will be given the
places for which they now are most
prominently mentioned is question
that even Mr. Harding himself is not
yet prepared to answer. Already sew
eral shifts have been made in his ten
tative appointment slate as he worked
his way toward a balanced and har-
monious cabinet, and other changes
are expected before the last decision is
made.
1t is certain that for several of the
places mentioned, the president elect
has more than one man under consider
alton, and that the list of seven pos
sibilities given here is far from COM
plete. In regard to most of the cabi-
net posts, decisions may be deferred for
several weeks, and the intervening per-
iod of deliberation may change the
whole face of the program, and make
one guess at the present moment as
good as another
Mr.. Harding's selection for secretary
of state and secretary of the treasury,
however, are expected to be known defi-
nitely within a few days. At the
same time he may make public the
name of one of two others on whom
he has definitely decided for member
ship in the cabinet.
Aside from the seven names men
toned, recent gossip about Harding
headquarters has brought to the fore
the names of several possibilities who
hitherto had been in the background
of cabinet speculation. Among these
are Joseph Dixon. of Montana; mem
toned for secretary of the interior;
Charles D. Hilles of New. York, for Sec
retary of commerce or the treasury, and
A. T. Hart, of Kentucky, whose name
has been associated with the portfolio
of war.

WHAT THE SOLDIER
BONUS ESTIMATES
at Approximately $780,
ooo,ooo.oo

neutrality-suspicious. $780,,
100000 was the estimate submitted to-
day by Secretary Houston of the treas
ury as the cost of carrying out pro-
visions of the soldier bonus bill.
The treasury secretary presented his
estimate to the Senate Finance Commit
tee without comment other than to urge
that no legislation be enacted which
would lay an additional burden on the
nations finances. The estimate was ac-
cepted by figures showing the cost of
carrying out any one of the five op-
tional provisions of the bonus bill pro-
vided all former service men chose a
single plan.
The figures for the various plans
range from ,S43,0O0,O0O for the ad-
justed pay provision to S4,544, 4,000,0 900
for the insurance provision. The maxi
mum possible cost of vocational train
ing aid and the farm plans were placed
at $1.SS0,000,o00 each while the secre-
tary said the provision, plan for land
that it was. impossible to estimate the
possible expenditure.
Submission of the estimated total
announced created an apparent impress
sion upon members of the committee
which is considering the bonus bill as
passed the House at the last session.
Members declined to forecast the decis-
ion of the committee on the question
of the measure but it was recalled that
Senator McCumber, Republican, North
Dakota, stated at the beginning of
hearings on the bill that passage would
largely depend on the state of govern
ment finances; that Mr.. Houston had
testified with normal expenditures the
treasury will have a deficit of $1.2O0,-
100000 for the year ending next June
80 and a deficit of $1.50O. 100000 for the
following 12 months.
