custom OF his great predecessors OF

papers OF state with Done in the
City OF Washington" and then
changed TO Done in the District
OF columbia" which he has con-
tlnueo ever since with possibly one
exception.
~ would appear that President
wilson made the change upon the
olctum OF the Hon. Ben johnson, OF
kentucky. Mr.. Johnson's purpose
seems to have been to change tho
name of the nations Capital from
City OF Washington" 20 sDistrict
OF Columbia" and thus TO destroy
the greatest monument 10 George
Washington, the father And patron
saint of his country. and. on its
ashes to build one to CHRISTOPHER
Columbus. foreigner and patron
saint Of the knights of Columbus.
Tor the sole beneft Of the Colum-
buses. alias Caseys.
1t is a grossly indecent and un-
3ustifiable insult TO the name and
fame of great Washington and a
damnable wrong to all good Ameri-
cans and should be corrected.
Let, us all hope and trust that
President Harding will rectify this
wrong in starting out with Done,
in the City Of Washington" as tn
Capital City OF all of the peopl y
and not with Done in the District

Lest some hyphenstes. other than

Undoubtedly. there is tremendous
opportunity for this department to
extend its work. and. under such re-
organization as Mr.. Hoover appar-
entity has in mind. to prove Of tre-
nendous benefit to America in the
development of our foreign trade
under the changed world conditions.
No one is better qualified to direct
such a work than Mr.. Hoover. But
here again his opportunities will be
necessarily circumscribed by the
general policies which Mr.. Harding
4 dopts for his administration and by
his methods in taking counsel as 20
what these policies shall be. Un-
6oubtedly, Mr.. Hoover broad ex-
perierce in these matters has quail
fed him as an adviser Of exceptional
worth to Mr.. Harding. 1t rests with
Mr.. Harding TO decide whether to
avail himself of the full measure of
Mr.. Hoover's worth.

DRUG EXHIBIT
AT NATIONAL MUSEUM.

An exhibit of medicinal sub
stances arranged according to their
therapeutic effect is being prepared
by the division of medicine of the
National Museum and will soon be
installed.
The standard works on medi-
cines. such as pharmacopeias and
dispensatories, contain an alpha
betical classification of the articles
Of materia medica because the bo-
tanical. mineralogical and chemical
arrangements are of no practical
use to physicians" said Frederick
L. Lewton, curator, in explaining
the object of he exhibit. "A phys
biological classification of the Of
hcial drugs is a delusive guide as
well, because it assumes on the
basis of therapeutics, principles
which are transient and uncertain,
due to the variations which occur
In the dose, combinations, mode OF
administering, etc. The museums
study collection of vegetable drugs
Is arranged botanically. and the
exhibition series contains displays
which show the sources from which
medicines are derived. No effort
has been made heretofore to DEM
onstrate q therapeutic classification
in the division of medicine, and II
is with a view to filling this gap
that this exhibit has been planned
Twenty-six therapeutic classes
are represented; such as alternatives
which modify nutrition; antiseptics
which prevent putrefaction; as
frf. AhraS and
tissues: anodynes which allay pain;
etc. Three official medicines have
been selected to represent each
class. depending upon the predom-
inant virtue which they manifest
and on account of which they are
most frequently prescribed.

Chicago Tribune.)


Mr.. Hoover Is a man of distin-
guished accomplishment and of ex-
ceptional ability. He enters office
with the prestige of a remarkable
work during the war and of a
worldwide fame. Nevertheless, he
has certain political handicaps
which may affect seriously his
chance of success as Secretary of
Commerce, and it cannot be said
that the statement he has made in
announcing his acceptance of Mr.
Harding's tender is tactful or for
tunate.
Mr.. Hoover is a constructive man
and the opportunity to build up a
great national institution, which the
Department Of Commerce should be
and may be, is one which naturally
appeals to such a man. Certainly
the public, and especially business
men, will not wish to discourage
official zeal in this direction. Yet
tudicious friends of Mr.. Hoover and
friends Of administrative reform
would have preferred that he had
withheld a statement which was
premature and, in effect IL not in
tent, provocative. A wise regard
of human susceptibilities and a ju-
dicious consideration of the tactics
of political action will save Mr..
Hoover's admirable purposes from
sensible to put opposition on guard.
1t is more profitable to act first and
do your talking after.

HOOVER, SECRETARY OF COM.

Seattle Times

ACtaAAAt
Hoover's outstanding Characters
tic is prscticality. He possesses in
remarkable degree the American ca
pacity for getting things done. He
is an organizer, a planner. an ex-
ecutive. He is, in brief, that COM
bination of a great dreamer and a
great doer which is characteristic
ally American. Such a man would
not consent to waste four years or
any part Of four years ponderously
doing nothing.
What life he will inject into the
Commerce Department when he be-
comes its head! What a new mean
ing he will give to the laws and
rules and regulations by which il
is governed. Harding should and
probably will welcome Hoover's
suggestion that the latter be given
a free hand in reorganizinE his de-
partment. The President-elect can
not fail TO realize, as does every
business man, the opportunity for
service Hoover will have during the
next four years of spirited world
competition for markets.
