Silent on Cabinet Job.

There will be no closed season in
republican politics. The republican

ment made by Chairman Hays Of the

poihtments. but. parried with aues.
knew about possible selections.
May Hoid Two Oaices,
The belief is strong in republican
circles that Mr.. Hays Is to be q mem
ber Of President Harding's cabinet,
and his name is particularly asso-
ciated with the postmaster 'gehlr lrals
ship. If he should take: office in the
cabinet pressure Will be brought to
bear urging his retirement from the
national committee. although opinion
is divided on that question among
prominent republicans It is pointed
out that George B. CorteIyou remained
as chairman of the national -con1anit-
tee for some time after being Post
master General under President
Roosevelt.
The republican national committee
will assemble in Washington March 3
for a business meeting. which will
include the filling of a vacancy in the
committee from Oklahoma. occasioned
by the death of Jake Hamon. His
successor. Chairman Harris of the
Oklahoma state committee, has been
recommended by the state commit ittee.

have thought that the vast tent, which seats seven or eight thousand people round the eight standards lane with electric lights, could have taken in. in one night, the idlers of the town. The point is that the circus did not appeal to the idlers, but to the whole of Kan sas City, to the whole population, de- termined to take all the pleasure is could. I never saw a more responsive audience, piled 40 feet high. In the amphitheater of the tent there was constant swirl of excitement, craning to the right and left; as if to miss nothing of what was going on in the three rings. Barnum's could not ba anything but American; it is too large. Europe has never seen 20 clowns to- gether, or three motor car loads of comics on any stage; nor would we think of showing together dancing cle- plants, jujitsu and tree chopping competition. The effect bewilders-the excessive lighting, the excessive va riety. It is a savage entertainment, | shower of pleasures before some har- barian conqueror.

It is a big job, but, being one that will affect and benefit the greater part of the ter ritory and the population of the United States, the cost should no more deter than that of any other great and beneficial development.
 This canal has been advocated by a comparatively small number of men for many years, but it has gotten out of its swaddling clothes as an issue.

THE CIRCUS MAN WAS RIGHT

is thoroughly legitimate, and there are many companies whose stock issues are a long way from being in the wildcat class.
 There is strong public opinion that the moving picture business is very pro- life of profits. Taking advantage of this psychologist fact, the mountebanks and fakirs of finance have found it extreme ly prof--Jle to sell stock in ostensibie movie enterprises.
 The legitimate moving picture interests have a tremendous power of publicity in their hands which they should utilize toward the education of the public on the thrift of legitimate investments.
 As matter of public service they should warn their patrons through the medium of the screen of the dangers of fake moving picture stock.
 The circus man of the old days was right, and the deep truth of his utter ance is daily apparent. Therefore, spe- cial efforts should be made to protect the gullible against the Wallingfords who are continually at large.

 NNLD P. T. .Barnum uttered a great N J truth. He said that a fool was

 The vigilance committee, of the Ma tional Association of the motion picture industry has made a survey of 70 com panies alleged to be in the moving pic- ture business, and only two or three were found to have any assets. of consequence when their stock was offered to the pub lie, although the aggregate paper capt- talization of the companies reached the sum of s1s0 100000
 In the committees opinion between s25. .oOo,OO0 and $50 900 has been lost by gullible investors in these totally worth less securities.

WHAT ARE THEY INVESTIGATING

From the Wall Street Journal.
 IS Congress Investigating the United
 States shipping board, or the c Bethlehem Steel corporation, or the British government in it's reia- tion to merchant ships during the war? The country knows now. that billions were wasted in the construction of ships which proved un- seaworthy on their trial trips, of ships which their builders dared not send to sea, even if captain could be found to navigate them, or a crew foolhardy enough to man them.
 No citizen who intends to see America first should omit Seattle. It is a wonder city in it's way. There the faith or it's citizens has literally moved noun tains. But it is the city of seven hills, and striking sight is pointed out to the traveller from the summit of one of them offering view of Puget sound. There he can see half hundred uncompleted wooden ships, occupying valuable harbor space needed for other commerce, with skeleton crews and caretakers, eating up fuel and light and paying insurance premiums. They are like the white ele- phant that the King of Siam wishes upon an unpopular subject, to eat him out of house and home.
 No wonder MT. Schwab suggests that these wooden ships should be scrapped. We spent billion dollars on them, only to discover that over length of per- haps &o feet, no cargo vessel of wood could be constructed strong enough to take the necessary engines without re- ducing the cargo capacity to a minl-
