OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES SEEK REC
IGNITION in THE CABINET

About week ago the National
League Of German-Americans adopted
resolutions demanding of President
elect Harding that he appoint at
least one German-Ameyican as mem
Der of the Cabinet. According TO
press reports committee headed by
George sylvester viereck was appoint
ed to go to Marion, Ohio, to prescott
their request to Mr. Harding together
with list of Communications quail
fled for the position.
viereck said: I'VE will organize
the 100000 German-American voters
who elected Harding into a fighting
tool against continued domination Of
the English element. We want Presi-
dent Harding to be fair, and not to
make his Cabinet overwhelmingly
Anglo Saxon. The thirty per cent OF
Americans who have German blood in
their veins demand that a German
American be chosen for the Presi-
dents. Cabinet. The old German.
American Alliance was dominated by
the brewers, and was in no sense
political. Heretofore German Ameri-
cans concentrated their efforts prip-|
cipalIy upon the beer brewing induss
try. What tn League proposes for
these same Americans from now on
is that they take an interest in local
and National politics"
George Sylvester Viereck is not I'M
known to the American people and
his name is not overly savory. He
was editor of the Fatherland which
advocated the German cause during
the war and his name is said to be in
the list of those who have been en-
dorsed for a Cabinet position.
Now, let it be understood once for
all that we greatly appreciate those
Americans of German blood who are
and have been loyal to this Govern
ment to which they have solemnly
sworn allegiance. More than that we
deeply sympathize with the suffering
intense. Some Of the finest citizens
in this land are of German birth.
Many of them are our personal friends
and we would not wound them for
the world.
With equal frankness we would say
that for George Sylvester Viereck and
his aggregation of ex-beer-brewers we
have a contempt that is pretty en-
phatic.
There is not enough deodorant in
the world to cleanse America of the
stencil left by the old German-Amer-
lean Alliance. We recall quite dis
tinctly how unpoliticaf it was in the
dear days when its members engaged
principally in the benevolent beer in
dustry and how very patriotic it was
about the time we entered the war.
It is no part of our task to help
Mr.. Harding select his Cabinet, which
is one of the many things we have to
be thankful for. We believe. how
ever, that right thinking citizens will
resent this effort on the part of any
foreign group to perpetuate, racial
lines and foreign ideals in this Re-
public. That is not the way to run
this country. The last one of us has
sprung from foreign ancestors but i'll
we are not Americans now, first, last

AFTER Mr.. MELLON

From every standpoint it is to
be hoped that the prohibitionists
will not attempt to interfere with
the selection of a secretary of
the treasury on the absurd
ground that the man under con-
sideration owned a controlling in
terest in a bank that lent money
to a distiller. The United States
needs, as it has seldom needed
before, a man of first-class ability
in the treasury. Our domestic
finances are very much involved,
and our foreign loans are in
worse shape. We need man
who can figure out means of rails
ing the necessary revenue with
least disturbance to the tax-pay-
er, and we feel that the rest OF
the world need one who can
figure out just how much and
what sort Of aid we should lend
Europe, to bring that stricken
continent back to healthy eco
nomic life, both as measure of
ordinary decency and as a means
of protecting our loans.
These problems will tax to the
limit the wisdom of the ablest
financier Mr.. Harding can put in
the treasury. The chances of a
reasonable degree Of success in

the administration of the treas
ury during the next four years
are no more than even for a first
class man; a second class man
would have no show at all. The
President.elect knows this situa-
ton, and the selection of a secre-
tary of the treasury is perplexing
him as much as any detail of his
job of cabinet making.
But when it begins to be rum
ored that Mr.. Harding is serious
ly considering for the post one
Andrew W. Mellon, a Pittsburg
banker, there is Immediately an
outcry from the Anti-Saloon Lea
que because, forsooth, Mr.. Mel
Ions bank is alleged to have lent
money to a distillery, in the days
when distilling was perfectly le-
gal enterprise. This is the
height of absurdity. 1t would
still be the height of absurdity
had Mr.. Mellon himself been the
king of distillers. What the
country wants and needs in the
treasury departm ent is tinan-
cier, not a moral dictator.
1t is this sort of thing that has
discredited the Anti-Saloon lea
que with many men who voted
for prohibition. This tendency
to subordinate everything else to
to the suppression of alcohol, is
noted with growing Impotence
by sensible men. They know
that liquor never was the only
evil in the world, and that its to-
tai abolition would not bring
about the millennium. But they
also know that the suppression
of the liquor traffic has proved a
pleasant and highly lucrative task
to certain persons for whom they
have no great admiration; and
those persons are naturally inter
ested in prolonging their easy
Jobs as long as possible. If these
paid agents can make it appear
that the appointment of Andrew
w. Mellon is in some unexplaln-
ed way a menace to prohibition,
they feel assured that they will
be retained on the payroll to
fight Andrew W. Mellon. The
fact that they may be intlicting
an injury on the country in op-
posing the appointment of a good
man to a position that needs a
good man, they do not consider
at all.
In short, the thoughtful peo-
pie Of the country dislike many
of the agents of the Anti-Saloon
league for precisely the same
reason that they used to dislike
bar-tenders- they regard both as
men who are willing to hang on
to a good job, regardless of the
injury their work may intlict on
the community. : Greensboro

EXPERIMENT TO
PREVENT ROLLS
IN NEW ASPHALT
Assistant Engineer Suggests
1t Is Caused by Top Layer
Slipping When Heated.

Prevention Of rolls in the new as
phalt pavement Of ONO street between
Alabama and Delaware streets is the pur-
pose Of an experiment suggested by
John L. Elliott, assistant city civil en-
gneer ana being tried out by the In
diana Asphalt Paving Company.
Rolling Of the tor layer OF asphalt is
one Of the most disastrous faults in this
kind Of rayement. engineers say. When
the roll or waves develop they cause
the top surface TO become shallow In
some places and thick in others 1t IS
not long before the thin spots are worn
through to the concrete base. Patching
Of such holes never Is completely success
full
Recently Charles Underwood. city
chemist. had several sections Of an old
and very wavy asphalt stUA't. which was
being resurfaced, cut out and brought TO
the city hal for study. II was discoy-
cred according to Mr. Elliott. that the
points where the asphalt rolled the
worst were whore the concrete base lie
meath had been rolled the smoothest.
Believing that a sick surafce on the
concrete base permits the asphalt top
layer to slip during the warm weathr
when traffic is heaviest. Mr.. Elliott has
been trying for several months to get
some contractor to try the plan of rough
ening the concrete base surface before
laying asphalt. The Ohio street i'm
provement is the first upon which the
experiment has been tried. The entire
base has been roughened with slight
burrows at a distance Of about every six
inches

ment with much interest.
