HUGHES AS SECRETARY OF
r STATE.
In naming Charles E. Hughes
as his choice for Secretary of
State, the President-elect has,
we believe, acted wisely. I he
former associate justice by rea
son of his knowledge of interna
tional alfairs and his discerning
insight into the mind of thejpeo-
ple is especially lilted for the
state portfolio. We think no
better choice could have been
made, or one which would meet
with more popular approval.
Late news from Marion brings
relief to all who 1 eared Mr.
Harding might allow ihe name
of Herbert Hoover to be pressed
upon him for Secretary ol La
bor. It is now almost certain
that a man more familiar with
labor than Hoover will be select
ed and Hoover left out of the
Cabinet altogether. That is good am(
news if true, lor nobody wants i
anymore of Hoover!
The President-elect’s choice.
for Secretary of War is John
W. Weeks, of Massachusetts,
which precludes Ihe possibility'
of General Pershing being given 1
that place, if, indeed, he Inis ever !
been considered for it.
So far, Mr. Harding’s selec
tion for Ids official family have
not been arrived at without
criticism from certain quarters,
hut it is said to lie his intention
1o proceed according to Ids own
desires. If lie exercises the
same good judgment in Idling
the rest of the Cabinet, it: is well
that he should pursue this
course.

Gaps between them render laws

ABOUT THE PRICE OF
COTTON.
In last week’s Sentinel we
printed an article by J. Skottowe
Wannamaker, president of the
American Cotton Association,
which was interesting for some
facts it contained of importance
to all interested in cotton.
As to the price of cotton being
too low, and as for the necessity
of action of some sort being tak
en, we can agree with Mr. Wan
namaker.
But, Mr. Wannamaker says,
“Get it out of your head that
anything but the supply of cot
ton and (lie world’s ability to
buy fixes the price of cotton.”
To that we do not agree.
It is our belief that the presi
dent’s private war against Rus
sia which keeps our markets
closed to 190,000,000 people who
want, and need, cotton is the
cause of the present low price
of it.
Furthermore, we believe that
when the new administration
has had time to reverse the
gears in the wheels of state, and
this country back into
great commonwealth.”
