 This leaves the appointments for Secretary of the Interior PostmasterC General Secretary of Com merce and Secretary of Agriculture yet to be dis closed.
 We believe the verdict of the country will be that it will be an excellent Cabinet measured by any accebtable standard All of the members are able and are men of the highest character It IS Cabinet made for work Except MT. Good there is not one on the list that could be called politician notwithstanding that MT Mellon has been figuring in very recent years in Pennsylvania politics And Mir Good retired from politics eight years ago when he moved from Iowa to Chicago to practice law He was active last year again in behalf of the nomination and election of MT. Hoover.
 The Empire has already commented upon Mir Stmson Mir Mellon is too well known as a great Secretary of the Treasury to make comment neces- sary MT Good was very able member of Con gress for seven terms.

 William D. Mitchell never served in a public office until he was appointed Solicitor General, for which he was selected wholly on account of his pre- eminent legal ability. President Coolidge was re- ferred to him when he made it known that he was looking for lawyer and not politician to fill that office He particularly pleased with the record of MT.
