PICKARD W ASHINGTON and the country generally were taken quite by sur prise by the announcement that Secre tary of State Hughes would retire from the cabinet on March 4. There had been no previous intimation of this ' change although it was known that Mr. Hughes wished to resume the practice of law within a few years at most. He lias been in the public service almost continifously for twentv vears. The correspondence between him and the President concerning his resignation reveals no basis for report that there t had been any conflict of views and those close to the. White House say Mr. Hughes was the first cabinet mem ber whom Mr. Coolidge asked to re-i main in ids official family. The President selected Ambassador Frank B. Kellogg to succeed Mr. Hughes, and the choice lias met with ' no adverse criticism. Mr. Kellogg has gained a clear insight into the affairs of Europe and especially tin* settle ment of German reparations and im terallied debts. His ability is unques tioned. Those who jumped to the con clusion that his coming to tin* Depart ment of State would lead to American I adhesion to the League of Nations probably will have to change their opinion, but it is known that he favors the Continuation of our government's co-operation with the league in handling humanitarian and social problems. Many persons, here and abroad, who think America should recognize, the Soy iet government of Russia also hailed tlie advent of Mr. Kellogg or rather the retirement of Mr. Hughes—as a sign that the administration's policy in this matter would be changed, be cause Mr. Hughes has been unalter ably against any relations with Russia in present conditions. These persons, too, arc deceiving themselves. The President authorized the stateifient that lie continued to oppose recogni tion of tin* Soviet government until it agrees to compensate American citizens robbed by the Communists, to recog nize the war debt of Russia to the United States and to cease trying to undermine the American form of •gov ernment. Mr. Coolidge still hopes, however, that Russia will meet these -♦♦i.irulitiorea >mit th-it iol;ilinns with lie! can he resumed. Great Britain and France are pleased with the appoint ment of Mr. Kellogg, who lias shown i C, Bascom Slemp has resigned as secretary to the President, according to a White House announcement, and Representative Everett Sanders of In diana lias been named to succeed him, a choice which is liked in congressional circles. Mr. Sanders was head of the speakers’ bureau at Chicago during the last campaign. He was not a candidate, for re-election to congress and so can not be classed among the "lame ducks." A CCORDING to the preliminary re port of the President's commis sion on agricultural problems, cattle I raising is the only branch of the in dustry that needs immediate relief, and ; Mr. Coolidge lias undertaken to pro-1 j cure tiiat relief from congress before I March 4. ■ If tills is done there will lie 1 ! no need of an extra session of the new ! congress. The commission recoin- mends only one piece of emergency leg- j Islation. namely, the amending of the | agricultural credits act so as to per-j mit tlu mission; next it approved the Norris government ownership bill; again it substituted the Underwood for the Norris measure, and defeated the Jones bill in two forms. Then came, final passage of the “Underwood bill with tiie aid of Republicans who had supported the Jones measure. As adopted the bill authorizes the Presi dent to lease Muscle Shoals for fifty years, but provides that if qi suitable lease cannot be made by next Septem ber the property is to be operated by a government corporation. A CCORDING to figures given out by the census bureau, the wealth of the United States at the close of 1922 was $320,803,862,000, which means an increase of 72.2 per cent in the decade beginning 1912. Real estate and its taxable improvements are in the lead in values, being placed at $155,908,625,000. Personal property Is next, at nearly forty billions, and man rediscounting by intermediate j tifactured products on hand were third, credit hanks of loans negotiated by federally chartered agricultural credit agencies. —, • In addition, the commission recom mends certain administrative actions by government agencies, including these: ■* " Inauguration by the federal farm loan board of a campaign fur the or ganizatlon of discount agencies as with a valuation of more than twenty- eight billions. In listing tiie wealth by states, the bureau placed New York first, with a total of $37,035,262,000.

Peterson, state bank commissioner, was involved in tiie same scandal. Both the elder Davis and Peterson have strenuously denied their guilt and have issued various tatements. Tiie younger Davis, who Had accepted marked money and who was trapped by an arrangement of telephones, is said by his father to have been ensnared by the political enemies of the former governor.

Musterole is a counter-irritant that relieves congestion (which is what a cold really is) and stimulates circulation. It has all the good qualities of the old-fashioned mustard plaster without the blister. Just rub it on with your finger-tips. First you will feel a warm tingle as the healing ointment penetrates the pores, then a soothing, cooling sensation and quick relief. Have Musterole handy for emergency use.

To succeed Mr. Kellogg at tiie court of St. James, the President chose Aianson B. Houghton, now ambassador to Germany. He has handled the diffi cult work in Berlin so skillfully thfit it was felt he had earned the promotion. German statesmen have learned to ad- niire"“him immensely- t | to $350,000.61 H). The settlement of tin* J occupation army costs gives America I $13,750,000 annually. Credit for the recognition of America's claims goes mainly to Col. James a - ; Logan and to Ambassadors Kellogg and Herrick. Many of the small nations were griev- ! ously disappointed at receiving share of the German reparations. B y a v< passed The hopes of the disciples were ut terly shattered when Jesus told them about the cross. Jesus had told them that He was going away, and that they could not follow Him. Their hearts were flooded with grief. He con soled them by I. Pointing to the Reunion In the Father’s Houee (vv. 1-3). 1. He Asks Them to Trust in Him Even as God (v. 1). Faith in the God- man, Christ Jesus, will steady the heart, no matter how Intense the grief or how great the sorrow. 2. He Informed Them Tiiat He Was Going to the Father's House in Heaven to Prepare a Home for Them (v. 2). He assured them that there was abun dant room for all. Heaven is an eter nal dwelling place. 3. He Assured Them That He Would Come Again and Escort Them to Heaven (v. 3). Jesus will not wait for His own to come to Him, hut will come and call forth from the graves those who have died, and transform living believers, and take them nil to he with Himself In the heavenly home forevermore (I Thess. 4:16-17). II. Revealing the Way to the Fa- ther’e Houee (vv. 4-11). Jesus informed the disciples that they knew the place to which He was going and the way. To this Thomas interposed a doubt, in answer to which Christ asserts that He Is 1. Tiie Way to God (v. 6). He is something more than a mere guide or teacher. He is the way itself. He is tiie door of the sheep-fold. “ 2. The Truth (v. 0). He is not mere ly the teacher, but t^e truth Incarnate. In His incarnation the spiritual. and material worlds were united, there fore every line of truth whether spir itual or material converges in Him. No one who does not have Christ can ever have the real truth about anything. In Him we have the truth about man what he is, what he ought to he, and what he shall he in eternity. In Him especially we have tiie truth about God. 3. Tiie Life (v. 6). Christ Is not., merely the giver of life, hut He Is the essence of life. Only those who re ceive Christ have life in tiie true sense. KInce He is God incarnate, to know Him is to know God. III. Assuring Them That His Work Was to Continue (vv. 12-14). Jesus’ going away was not to end tiie work which He had begun.
