IN THE CABINET

Admissions by Attorney General
Daugherty that he has speculated
in Sinclair Oil stocks during the
time that he has been member Of
the cabinet of the United States
do not show any criminal connec-
ton on the part of Mr.. Daugherty
with the oil interests now under
investigation, but they do create a
very serious doubt, as to his fitness
for cabinet membership.
The fact that it is insoil stocks
that Mr.. Daugherty did his specu-
lating is a minor detail. The i'm
portant thing is that speculation
in any sort Of stock is highly i'm
proper in cabinet member re-
CARELESS of whether his specula-
tons are profitable or not.
A private citizen has a right to
speculate if he chooses to do so,
as long as he doesn't use somone
else's money for the purpose, but it
must be plain that a cabinet Of
ficer is in a very different position
from that occupied by a private
citizen so far as speculation is
concerned
!. Every cabinet member has such
powers that his actions can affect
the stock market. This is especi-
ally true of the head of the de-
partment of justice. the position
held by Mr. Daugherty. Moreover.
every member of the cabinet must
be in possession of information
which gives him an immense ad-
vantage in speculation should he
choose to use it, 1t must be evil
dent that speculation on the part
of any man who is member of the
presidents official family is bound
to arouse suspicion, just as specu-
lation by the president himself
would arouse suspicion.
Mr.. Daugherty may have made
no improper use of his official
power or official information in
connection with his speculation
but he must know that such specu-
!! la ton on the part of a man in his
| position must arouse public opin-
ion and is in itself improper. If he
does not realize the improperly

MY DEAR BEE: 2 H
Your friend, Dick Summers called
me up yesterday and said he wanted
me to meet Miss Paula Perier. This
was the first time | had heard Mr..
Summers was accompanying Miss
Perier on her personal appearance"

l Immediately asked him about you
and he said he thought you were
well, but that he had not heard from
you for quite while. What is the

broken?
l could not decline to meet Miss
Perier, although l told Mr.. Sum-
mers that, having lived quite while
in Albany, the young lady'in ques-
ton must have many friends here
who could do more for her than l.
OF course he was very flattering
and said he wanted her to meet some
OF fthe society women in town. He
remarked also that Miss Perier knew
my husband. He told me that Miss
IPerier was going to hold reception
at the theater after the afternoon
showing of her picture, and he asked
me if would be one of the
patronesses.
/. I expect you know Bee, that Miss
Perier was one of the models at the
Acme Advertising Company for quite
a while before l. was. married to
Jack, and he. paid her quite lit
tie attention at the time. OF course
l do not want any one to think am
the least bit Jealous Of her. Il was
in a quandary.
Mr.. Summers however, seemed to
make it quite personal matter that
