at the instance oi a few radical members, the United
States Senate confirmed by an overwhelming vote the
nomination of Roy O. West to be Secretary of the Inter
ior, just as everyone knew it would.
Objection was made to Mr. West by certain profession
al corporation-cobaiters, because he had held some stock
in public utility enterprises, of which he promptly divest
ed himself upon being appointed to the Cabinet.
According to those of Socialistic tendencies, no man
■who has ever been engaged in any useful or successful
activity in the business world is eligible for high office.
*To their minds, a successful man must necessarily be a
•crook.
But, fortunately, this idea has not made much head
way in this country, and it is not likely to do so. Alas
kans, as a whole, are pleased with the selection of West.

Her husband^ outburst of temper Manifested itself im
mediately after s^a had1 tru’^’^d mv jn bridge.
