Business First, Politics Afterward.

Regret is frequently expressed that the American
political system based partisan responsibility,
as it is, makes no provision for utilizing the general
experience of statecraft. Change in administration
than change in national policy.
1t carries with it the revolutionzing and overturn
ing of the details of public service. Only in crises
such the recent World War the best brains of
nation secured for the good of the community.
The usual pursued is the mercess hunting
down and roofing out of these charged with con-
created by knowledge of immediate situations or
practice gained in official capacities. The best go
with the worst and, alas, in that order.
There is springing up healthy demand for the
creation of permanent place in the executive de-
Secretary who will be the deputy of the head, or
Cabinet officer and, being charged with the business
administration of the division, will not be affected
by changes in party control of the Government ITSELF
Relieved from the administrative detail the Cabinet
officials will be free to devote themselves questions
OF larger policy, and, the promoters of the
idea fondly hope, will be permitted to attend the
sessions of Congress and take part in the debating of
such matters appertan to their departments.
With this method of operation the usual dscr-
ganZation following the ousting of political party
will be reduced to the minimum and the incoming
Cabinet will have the advantage of finding machine
fit to run and ready for business In the Department
of State this plan has worked well for many years

retained without question to their politics. Il

only by drilling an increasing number of
wells in any given field, and since new ter
ritor unjust be opened mp to compensate
for exhaustion of old fields, decline in
drilling is after time followed by a falling
off in production. Conversely a period of
prosperity brings increased production after
a delay of months.
Thus, while the increasing production in
the first part of 1921 was probably result
of the prosperity in 1919 and the first part
of 1920, there is likely to be a period of
declining output ahead which will reflect the
depression of the first part of 1921. The
number of oil wells completed fell off
from about $3.50 in January, 1921 to about
752 in October the latter figure being the
smallest in the last five years November
returns, however, show an increase to 903
wells.

the Senate has confirmed it.
The first suspicious thought concerning the mat

the way of the most dangerous of the leaders in
the agricultural bloc, but maturer reflection must
have due effect upon this viewpoint. Senator Kenyon
is able and a good lawyer. His agricultural
activities in the Senate were not due much perhaps
to his Unborn nclinatons to the demand for lead
ership from the people OF his own State-an almost
wholly agricultural State. If the President by put
