Diversified Views on Harding
Cabinet Changes,

Although the political tinge enters
into the general discussion Of the
latest changes in President Harding's
cabinet, there is a general sugges-
tion that, so far as DR.. Work was
concerned, he was entitled to pro-
motion.
"From the public point Of view, the
changes should work out WELL" the
New York Tribune (republican) holds
while the Washington Post Unde.
pendent republican, feels two i'm
portant ends have been accom-
piished," and tho Post Once Depart
ment will be administered by q
head who knows what tho people
want" while tho Interior Depart
ment will be maintained at its pres

lively capable. We submit, never

CAPITAL KEYNOTES
BY PAUL Y. COLLINS

Eugene v. Debs draws q doleful
picture OF John D. Rockefeller. the
. richest man In the world, who. Debs
alleges, Is a prisoner in his castle. in
spite Of, or because Of, his great
wealth. OF course, the picture Ii a
fake. for Mr.. Rockefeller, at the very
time Debs grew pathetic, was prob
ably making the eighteenth hole upon
. Florida links, and even giving a
bright silver dime to his caddie.

Rockefeller may save enough tips

rians may become youthful and

Compulsory Registration Tags.

The compulsory registration Of out

with the proposed metal registration
tag. has brought criticism from motor
organizations and from certain mo-
torlsts in the, District They claim
that the plan savors q 'Prussianism
and wartime methods Of examination;
that It seeiousiy endangsrs local re-
ciprocal relations with other states.
and that It annoys ana harasses the

Proponents Of the plan claim that II

case an out-of.town car figures in an
accident the police are In a position
Immediately to identify it. They also
claim that many Washingtonians are
"tax-dodgers" in the matter Of auto
mobile licenses and that In many cases
cars with out-of.town tags are. In
reality. cars belonging to District
residents.
The real 'ttaxdodger" should Be sp.

lowed to buy tags Of other states to

COMMENTS ON SPEECH
Words of Premier SHUTS of South
Africa Have Caused Widest Interest
in London and Other Parts.

London, Oct. 24.-The striking
speech delivered by Premier SHUTS OF
South Africa at the South African din
ner last night in which he attacked
France for her policy and advocated
a general conference of the powers to
consider the whole situation, has at
tracted the widest attention and was
the subject of discussion on all sides
in London today.
The speech has given rise to re-
ports that General SHUTS is not alto
gether satisfied with the direction the
imperial conference Is taking and
took the opportunity afforded him last
night to express his mind.
In some quarters here the speech
of the South African premier is re-
garded as possibly heralding his de-
parture from South Africa to embark
on wider field of British politics.
