Who's Who In
The Cabinet
A recent Independent has a timely
and instructive article with the above
title, from which we condense as
follows:
Not a Free Hand
The common idea that a new Pres
ident can pick the best men in the
country, or in the party for the Cab
inet without limitation or compromise
is nonsense. All cabinets are compro
mises, and Harding's is no exception.
An Expensive Gift
The best man oftentimes will not
take the Cabinet position offered him.
He can't afford to. It costs a man
from $10,000 a year up to be a member
of the Cabinet. A secretary of State
cannot possibly do his Job under
$20,000 to $25,000 a year. He gets
only $12,000.
Must Consider ail Interests
One of the cardinal requirements
of cabinet formation is that all the
party must be represented, and it
takes a lot of picking and chosing
and balancing to do that and Involves
much give and take, and much dip
lomatic compromise. It is a 'most
remarkable, and most commendable
outcome, that both Hughes and
Hoove." were secured. They are
pure gold, but nobody ever dared to
coin rnu1 gold fo- f-veryday currency
There must be son c alloy.
Unblu.i.nig Brass
The alloy, in this case, is Daugh
erty, the Attorney General, "who in
just brass, and unblushing brass at
that," This is the more unfortunate
because the post was never so Impor
tant as now. His is a great admin
istrative office. He selects a vast
number of officials; he sets the tune
for eighty-eight District Attorneys
whose duties are increasingly impor
tant because of recent Federal Legis
lation; he decides the Federal policy
as to action over great areas of dis
cretionary prosecution created by
trust acts, railroad legislation, trade
commissions, etc; he advises the
President and the Departments in the
very weightiest matters, and this
advice controls and shapes the pol
icies of the Government. He ought
to be a man of established reputation
for character and ability. That ap
parently he is not.
Such responsibilities and powers
should not go to a man whom: crim
inals seek to get out of jail on a con
tingent fee, or shaky banks and In
surance companies retain to steer
them through troubled and dangerous
waters.
Strong in Business Ability
The new Cabinet will be a strong
one from the Business point of view.
Mellon, Weeks, Fall, Wallace and
Hoover are preeminently business
men, at least in the large sense which
makes them capable men of affairs.
In these times when there is so much
business confusion, and so much un
certainty as to just where we stand
in financial matters, and with so
much financial reorganization to be
done, it is fortunate that we will have
a strong Cabinet in this direction.
Hoover and Hughes the Two Big Men
Hoover and Hughes are the two
outstanding national figures in the
Cabinet Hoover's dynamic, con
structive force, and Hughes' un
swerving judicial Judgement are ex
pected to do much to keep the Admin
istration cle.ar of political entangle
ments during the next four years.
Hoover accepts the position of Secre
tary of Commerce with the distinct
understanding that he may be allowed
to reorganize the Department and
make of it a very vital and important
factor in the prosperity and progress
of the country.
Civilians for War and Navy
It is a long established American
tradition to appoint civilians to the
post 8 of War and Navy. In accor
dance with this tradition Weeks has
been chosen "for the former, and Dan
by for the latter. Weeks is a sena
tor from Massachusetts, a banker, and
a man of experience in National af
fairs. Danby, though a civilian, has
had some experience in naval matters
and is thoroughly familiar with affairs
in the Far East.
Labor Gets a Good Man
With the growing significance of
labor, and labor problems, Davis, the
new Secretary of Labor, is an impor
tant man. He is a Pittsburg man, a
Union man thoroughly conversant
with labor questions from childhood
up.
Presumably he will be given to
understand that as Secretary of Labor
he represents not Union Labor alone,
nor indeed any kind of labor alone,
but the Nation at large. There are
about 45 million people at work for
pay in the United States; "organized
labor" includes only six millions of
them. Manifestly these six million
should not attempt, or expect to be
the "whole cheese'

Wireless Telegraphy And
The American Boy
By Clifford J. Dow.
Wireless telegraphy offers an at
tractive field for an ambitious Amer
ican boy. The future of this mar
velous science is assured. It Is gen
erally recognized as a formidable
rival to telegraphy and telephony by
the familiar system of wire communi
cation. As time goes on we shall
doubtless see every continent and
every sea linked together by these
invisible waves. With the develop
ment of commerce by land and sea
this method of communication will in
crease by leaps and bounds. The
number of men required to maintain
this great system of wireless commu
nication will be greatly increased, and
incidently those engaged in it will
share in its prosperity.
A large proportion of the wireless
operators of the country are self
taught. It would be difficult to
name another occupation so attractive
to the average American boy which
pays so well, and can be entered with
so little preparation. In peace times
there about 150,000 amateur wireless
stations in operation in the United
States. No other country in the
world has anywhere near such num
ber. This means that about 150,000
bright American boys and youths are
teaching themselves how to install
and operate wireless telegraph sta
tions. Most of the expert wireless
men of the country have graduated
from this class.
At the beginning of the war the
government needed operators aboard
ships of all kinds, and thousands of
capable youths were recruited in a
very short time. The excellent rec
ords made by them during the was
was striking proof of the skill of
amateur telegraphers, and the value
of this kindof training. At the end
of the war some of the most impor
tant positions in the world of wireless
electricity were held by these self
taught amateurs. The operator sel
ected to fly on the NC-4 on the first
trans-Atlantic flight was an "ama
teur." There are many excellent schools
teaching wireless scattered through
out the United States. The instruct
ions usually cost about $15.00 a month
for evening classes and $20.00 a
month for day instruction.
, We are offering to any and every
boy or young man who is interested,
the opportunity of learning wireless
under a licensed operator for a very
small fee, which is used to pay expen
ses of the station and to make im
provements from time to time. We
have a completely equipped radio
station of the amateur type, and all
apparatus necessary for practice.' If
anyone is interested we would like to
have him enroll now, so he may ad
vance with those already enrolled. In
the very near future we are going to
put the station on the club basis, only
those actively engaged in wireless
! activities being eligible.
' There are three amateur wireless
'stations now in operation on Kauai.
We would like to have more, espec
ially some located at a distance from
Lihue. If any one is interested but
cannot attend meetings of the Lihue
club, we will be glad to put you on
the right track so you may soon learn
the theory and practice of wireless
at home. It is possible for a reason
able price to install a comple station
with which you can communicate with
other local amateurs, as well as those
now getting under way in Honolulu
and other islands.
We wish to thank the people who
so kindly contributed towards our
building and apparatus. The station
is open to inspection on Tuesday and
Thursday evenings, when practice
operations will be in progress.
man of large experience and conspic
uous ability. He is considered a very
wise choice, thoroughly acceptable to
everyone.
An All-around Handy Man
Fall, Secretary of the Interior, Is an
other business man with a wide and
varied experience, farmer, rancher,
miner, lawyer, teacher, publisher, and
judge. He is very clear and pronoun
ced on Mexican questions, and will
advocate a strong policy.
Politics Not Entirely Forgotten
Wallace and Hays complete the list,
with the portfolios respectively of
Agriculture and the Postoffice. The
former is one of the leading author
ities on Agriculture in this country,
and he will doubtless do well by that
Department. Hays of the Postoffice
is the youngest member of the Cabi
net, being only 41. He is an astute
politician, it remains for him to
prove that he can be astute and ef
ficient along other lines. Harding is
sure that he can.
Of the ten men going to make up
the Cabinet all but three are College
men, which Is a high proportion.
