The cabinet selected by Mr.. Harding
should be satisfactory to the people.
1t is composed for the most part of
men of recognized ability. There is
but one member, Harry NJ. Daugherty,
whose appointment might be classed
as a reward for political service. The
selection of. Mr.. Hughes to be secre-
tary of state may fairly be regarded
rs tribute to his long public service.
Mr.. Harding could hardly have i'm
proved upon it. The naming of Mr..
Hoover for secretary of commerce Is 4
Just recognition of his familiarity with
the matters which will come before
his department. Probably no man in
the country is better qualified for the
place. The selection OF Senator Fall
for secretary of the interior probably
has direct connection with the policy
which the new president has decided
TO pursue toward Mexico. Will Hays
will be a welcome change from Burle-
son. The other members are less well
known to the country but doubtless
are possessed OF qualifications for the
places they will fill known to Mr..
Harding.

The Family Parasitic,

Chief among the saints and martyrs
are the men who are the victims of
their wives families. Great are their
sufferings here below. and great shall
be their reward hereafter but what
right have women to thrust the mar
tyr's crown on the men they marry
What right have either men or women
to sacrifice the one they marry to any
| body else?
None Moreover, 1t isn't playing
the game. for il any man should say
to a woman, before marriage, that she
could have what was left over after
he got thru providing for his trifling
relations. there would be nothing do
ing in the matrimonial line there. Nor
would any man lead a maiden to the
altar IL he knew that when he married
her he was also espousing her father,
and mother, and brothers, and sisters
and -in-law. and sisters-in-
law, and uncles, and aunts, and nieces,
and nephews, and an invisible bread
line that stretched out to her remotesr
relatives.
The real reason that families are so
anxious to have their girls marry
money is because they know they can
all sponge on Mary. She Is always
ter and sister that the family hold UP
when they want funds. It's his wife's
mother and father, and widowed sis
ter, that a man supports nine times
out of ten. Not his own. His sisters
husband is taking care of them.
OF course there are family obliga-
tons. The blood tie does give certain
claims that we are all obliged to honor,
but there can be no doubt that the
make too much of them, and that we
encourage parasiteism in our families.
All of us have relatives who, When
they have money. blow it in like
drunken sailors. They count the cost
of nothing and indulge themselves In
the widest extravagances. They
would not do this. but would save their
money, if they did not know that they
had some relative who was an easy
mark, and who would not let them suf-
fer, when their money was gone. All
of us have lazy, shiftless. ne'er-do-
well relatives whom we support be-
cause they will not work. All of US
are called upon to pay the doctors
bills of those. whose pride will not
let them go to a public hospital, but
permits them to beg from us.
These family parasites should BIO
