MINDS FOR THE CABINET

Fitness, not political services
ought to be the yard stick for nam
ing individuals to the presidential
cabinet. Mrs. Hert, political organ
izer Of the women's vote, has many
good qualities. but whether these are
consonant with cabinet fitness Is
questionable. The very fact that her
national reputation rests primarily
upon political achievements ought TO
warn such an independent thinker
as Mr. Hoover that she may be lack.
ing in other important qualifications.
Unless Mr.. Hoover intends to select
his cabinet with the lack Of foresight
and skin manifested by Mr.. Harding
he will scrutitize all candidates. both
men and women. with exceeding
care; and We believe at this time
that he will permit political con-
siderations to enter into his choice to
a minimum, regardless of what DR..
Work would like to see done.

WHEAT AND THE WORLD

Farmers who watch the wheat
market-especially those who paid
particular attention to the campaign
promises regarding the kind OF gov
ernmental relief the new administra-
ton. or the present administration
would give them.-must be soms-
what surprised at the turn Of events
At the very moment when Congress
is preparing to do oinething about
buttressinE their economic condition
along comes news that tho wheat
markets OF the world are more or
less glutted; that crops in the Argen-
tine. Canada and Europe have, been
good; and that the world market
prices accordingly show tendency
to slump. This wouldn't worry them
SO much IL the world price didn't
tend to fix the price In the u. g. A..
SOME OF the soii-tiiiers again will
come to the conclusion that 1t is bet
ter for the government to fix the
price than to rely upon the idiosyn-
crasies Of the Liverpool price fixing
machinery. They will say once again
that the American manufacturer do
not permit any foreign market to set
the price of goods In America.
Congress had better get to work and
pass some kind of relief measure
insipid though it may be--before the
wheat belt once again grows turbu.

and almost every circle shows the results
in new beauty, new health and vitality.
The formula comes in every box, also
the scientific reasons for results. So users
have no fear Of harm. Go learn now what
Marmola does for excess fat, and why.

OPTIMISM SUPREME
IN HALLS FORECAST

No bonds, no new taxes-nothing
that CRATES on the ears of the pow
ers that be--comprise the optimistic
forecast OF the Board of Finance
and Control, Of which New Britain's
most prominent citizen. Edward +.
Hall is the head. The announce
ment on this score yesterday was
even more definite than that given
the day before.
In addition, Chairman Hall prom
ises that there will be enough money
for all necessary improvements. and
even the costly business Of con-
structin2 new highways will be
properly looked after with scads Of
money for the purpose.
As we stated in these columns
yesterday. the outlook as given by
Mr.. Hall and that previously given
by Mr.. Blodgett differ in important
details. We hope Mr. Hall is right.
In common with all other citizens
who value tax money with exquisite
tenderness. we pray that Mr.. Hall is
correct in his optimistic diagnosis.
Verify, We can do no more.
II it should turn out that Mr..
Hall is thoroughly as correct as he
is in earnest. we suggest to all our
state contemporaries that the next
time d pessinistc blast by Mr..
Dlodgett reverberates the state that
it be placed on an inside page, pre-
ferably alongside the want ads. And
at such time we further make the
suggestion that editorial comment be
withheld until Mr.. Han is heard
from.
