Wives of Cabinet Members Object
of Two Attacks Already This
Winter in Social Warfare

Of succession. which removed the Sen
ate from the line OF succession to the
Presidency in the event that The Presi-
dent should die while there. was no
Nice-President. Formerly the ranking
member OF the Senate. Its president pro
tempOre, was in the line Of succession
to the Presidency. as was the Speaker
Of the House. hut by the law Of sue
cession Congress took itself out Of the
line OF succession and put the Cabinet
in its place.
This has been the basis Of the SUBJ
sequent claim that the Cabinet out
ranks the Senate. However, the Cabi-
net itself has not urged this claim. To
this day II has required its wives to pay
first calls upon the wives Of Senators.
Fear Of Senatorial power over our
husbands has prevented our open re-
volt" said a Cabinet wife, Of several
Administrations back, commenting on
this concession. THE demand by the
wives Of Senators that we call upon
them first is a species Of social black
mail to which we are compelled to
submit"
Why, then, do the matrons Of the
Senate circle now declare social warfare
against the Cabinet circle? Not on ac-
count of "A first call grievance. but be-
cause, they complain, that at public APP
pearanccs and official functions Cabinet
| members and their wives have been
| placed by the masters Of ceremonies
| before Senators and their spouses. So
! the Senate's wives. in Amazonian pha-
| lanX. have just now sent their general
| to strike her scimitar three times upon
the tent Of Mrs. Bryan and demand
precedence over Cabinet women at all
social functions Of an official nature.
The Senate women have found an
eager and jealous champion in the
person Of the widowed Senator Bacon
Of Georgia, chairman Of the Committee
on Foreign Relations. which deals
among other matters. with usages per-
tanning to our polite intercourse with
foreign courts.
The declaration Of war has been in
dited by Senator Bacon. In II he first
calls attention to the fundamental and
controlling fact that the Constitution OF
the United States creates no offices ex.
cept that Of the Presidency and Vice
Presidency. the Supreme Court and the
Congress, composed OF the Senate and
House Of Representatives" IAN other
offices OF the United States, excepting
only three above mentioned. have been
created by act OF Congress-" wrote the
Senator, with the Cabinet especially In
mind.
1T Is a plain proposition" he added
that the creature cannot he greatei
than the creator" And he pointed out
that Congress can at any time abolish
| any of these offices.
The social rank OF the Cabinet wivei
has been disputed not only by the ma
irons Of the Senate but also by those Of
the Supreme Court, and 80 vexed hal
the question become that the White
House for some time has avoided thu
issue by asking the Cabinet and III
wives to receive with the President ant
his wife instead Of assigning them {
J definite place In the line Of guests.

cipn Diplomatic Corps resident In WASH
ington. Many old timers remember a
scene made at fashionable function
when q Senator's wife raised an uproar
because her host escorted to the dining
room not herself but the wife Of the
ranking foreign diplomat present.
One matron Of the Senate circle who
is not taking the present suuabble very
much To heart Is Mrs. Robert NJ. La Fol-
lettc, wife of the Republican Senator
from Wisconsin. She believes, like
Thomas jefferson. that In IA democracy
like ours there IL no place for prece-
dence. But Senator Bacon, although a
leader Of the Jeffersonian party, says
that for Senators to "forego all dis
tinctions Of rank" IL "lmpossible in the
official circles of Washington" where
| they will prefer not to he present mt
any function, public or private, where
this proper rank IL not recognized and
accorded to them"
| What JefYersonian simplicity did Ia
the order of precedence more than a
century ago would put an end to all of
these petticoat wars Of the present time
But II would also bring out Of such
social order as Is now maintained a
chaos which no official Of even IA Demo
cratic administration would risk.
| The original order Of precedence was
| established by Washington after many
consultations with Adams Madison
Jay and Hamilton, the latter's advice
prevailing. Adams conscientiously oh.
served the code adopted by his illus
triOus predecessor. but Jefferson upset i
with vandalism comparable only Il

gether in society. He instructed that
his guests should take their places in
the order Of their arrival at the White
House. To his receptions every one was
admitted. Many officials. denied pref
erence in line. absented themselves.
And Dolly Madison. who at these jams
had acted as official hostess of the
widowed jefferson, because she was In p
wife Of the Secretary Of State. was
more than glad To revive the order NJ
precedence when her husband sue
ceeded the sage Of Monticello.
But Jackson again threw the White
House open To all In the order Of first
come, first served, and riots ensued, tine
state parlors being nearly wrecked.
Thereafter the orderly code was again
invoked, and all subsequent official
hosts and hostesses have been glad To
seek safe shelter beneath it.
However. the strict order of prece-
dence came To he interpreted differently
by different official hosts and hostesses
This was So especially after the oil |
Powers Of Europe began to deem Us
worthy II Ambassadors rather than
mere Ministers. And thus until this
day you will find the President at White
House entertainments giving the AM
bassadors precedence over the Supreme
Court, but the Congress, at all cerc.
monies at the Capitol. giving the SUI
prcme Court precedence over the Am.
