Jo MARY GOLD AND HAVING SUBSTITUTED AS 1 WAS PASS SOMETHING FROM WIS OWN EVIL —— MY ~MARY= YOU CERTAINLY Semester: Washington, Nov. 30.—History is being made this year in national poli- tics and in more ways than one. For the ‘first time on record, a president’s ‘cabinet is being chosen several thousands miles away from Washington, on foreign seas and in foreign countries. Mr. Hoover took this big problem with him when he departed on his good-will tour on the battleship Maryland and is ex- pected to announce his selections three brothers, who own large mines in Nicaragua. lone! W. J. Donovan of Buffalo, . World War hero and present ‘ant attorney general, is be- ‘lieved to be Hoover's choice for at- torney general. Donovan visited Hoover at the latter's Palo Alto home shortly before he sailed, mak- ing the trip from the Atlantic coast to California in a plane. He is an Trishman and a Treasury Se lon can retain spi when he returns to the United | jt, according to the dopesters.

Hoover, but reports say that the president-elect wouldn’t care to boot Further, Uncle Andy is it has—a pretty good idea of most of | said to like the job and to be perfect- those who will make up the Hoover cabinet. With Secretary of State Kellogg due to retire and Senator Borah no longer being considered for the post. it seems almost certain that Hoover will choose Henry P. Fletcher for this cornerstone in the cabinet. Fletcher, ambassador to Italy, is now | accompanying Hoover on his Latin- American tour as the president- elect’s personal representative. Experience seems to qualify Fletcher for the important position | that deals with foreign affairs. A veteran in the diplomatic service, he was for five years minister to! Chile (1909-14), and for four years ambassador to Mexico (1916-1920). the first year of the Harding ad istration he was under-secre- tary of state. Next he went to Bel- gium and then to Italy as ambas- | sador. Both President Coolidge and Presi- dent Harding have regarded Fletcher | as an expert on international affairs. In 1923 Harding called him home for an important conference, and last winter Coolidge summoned him back to attend the Pan-American con- gress. He is thoroughly familiar with conditions in Europe and South America through long residence on both continents. In addition, he has ly content to remain. Dr. Julius Klein, present assistant secretary of commerce and one of the world’s greatest experts on trade relations, and Julius Barnes, Chi- cago, seem in the lead for the com- merce post, with the edge apparently favoring Klein. Hoover, during his tenure there, leaned heavily on Klein on questions of foreign trade, open- ing many new outlets for American- made goods. James W. Good, one of Hoover's campaign managers, seems to be in line for postmaster-general, the post that controls many of the political plums with which campaign debts have been paid in the past. Ray Ly- man Wilbur of Stanford University, a brother of Navy Secretary Curtis D. Wilbur, is being mentioned strongly as the latter’s successor. Secretary of Agriculture Jardine is definitely out of the running. His health is broken and he wants a rest. Several men have been mentioned as possible successors, but none of those so far brought to light appear very likely. There is rumor that Hoover will choose a mid-western farm lead- er whose name has not thus far been mentioned in connection with the job. As for the War Department—well, one man’s guess is as good as an- other's. 2 ——— | IN NEW YORK | OS cov identi catainaaseaeae 5 i New York, Nov. 30.—A mina er | note attaches to the prevalence of | bodyguards in Manhattan. A few years back a bodyguard was | a joke—something connected with the eccentricities of Harry Thaw, for instance. But the vengeful hand of “the racket” has brought about the employment of scores of protec- tors. The bodyguards are recruited, for the most part, from the prize fight or the gang world. Time was when little differences of opinion were settled by an invita- tion to “come out in the street.” Fists flew and blows fell. A fair fight was staged. But the gang| methods brought a startling and thoroughly un-American outburst of cowardly attacks from the dark. | Which reminds me that I have often | wondered why those “hundred per | cent Americans,” who were so active | a few years back, haven't done some- | thing about this new breed. At any rate, any number of men now go about with a “shadow.” |@ While some of those who need pro- tection are themselves engaged in racketeering, scores of others are business men whose particular trades have been invaded by “racket” methods. Thus, for many months, an under- current war raged in the New York fur belt. In the mid-Twenties, with- in half a block of the most heavily trafficked streets, policemen traveled in pairs—ever a menacing sign. In broad daylight, police could be seen scattered over a small area, looking for trouble. Some of the most wwerful gangmen were employed ‘opposing sides in the war. They seldom appeared in person, working through gangmen, sent forth to do a little black-jacking or shooting. Other trades have seen similar wars. Hence, the gradual growth of | the bodyguard—a strange sight in- deed in a supposed metropolitan and civilized community. sf Lower Fourth avenue is the sec- ond-hand book store belt of New York. Here cluster little shops made to order for the bookworm. Books lie in dusty piles about the floors; they overflow the 25 and 50 cent shelves; they are stuffed away un- tidily in corners; they must be mined out like gold. And there seems to be no end to them—hence the magic of their appeal to the browsers who find stirring adventure in pawing thee the dusty treasures. In lower Fourth avenue it’s pos- sible to see sights that bear the flavor of unreality. Bent little men, looking like the people of a Thack- eray or Dickens novel, come ambling in out of the city carrying a few volumes under their arms, and stop bicker and bargain for the few ‘pennies Cane will receive. On winter days, shabbily dressed men, with finely chiseled features, come out of the to browse in dark corners. They do not buy, but they lovingly fags paged ot their favorites, ‘01 reviewers, trying to live in New York on a meager in- come, arrive pentiog suitcases and bags filled with novels late from the press—for which they will receive as much as 75 cents or $1 per copy. This exchange alone makes it pos- sible for them to exist. They stand and talk with each other over the books they are writing or hope to write—they argue over the newest literary vogue or the oldest literary problem. “They leave, with dream dust glistening in their eyes, to re- turn to coffee houses or back’ rooms, From such ranks are _ recruited scores of our younger writers, ri When first I met Louis Bromfeld, for instance, he was plugging away at a publicity job with a publishing house. It was not a particularly well paid job—but it afforded him time to write “The Green Bay Tree” which, to this day, seems to me to be the best of his books. And I have known a dozen others with similar stories. S i GILBERT SWAN. (Copyriht, 1928, NEA Service, Inc.)
