1 know my journalistic friend to be
one. of the !late Tom Platt's Old Guard,
and it, was plain from some remarks
he made that the appointment. of
Hughes was bitter pill to him and
he is, praying for speedy vacancy on
the supreme bench. Hughes is given
to insubordination: AS governor of New
York he was not only independent of.
the Tom Platt machine; but he was In
no way subservient to Theodore
Roosevelt the president Of the United
States And in 1910 President Taft
put him on the supreme bench to take
him out of politics. Nominated for
president in 1916 because Of his sup
posed "availability,: he was independ-
cnt of the party bosses. ran his own.

tears when he was beaten. You can
depend, on it that Mr." Hughes has u
foreign policy. 1t : is evident that
Harding knows what that policy is. and

met. AS senator he was: constantly
in. the public eye; in the cabinet he
will be obscured for the reason that
matters in control OF the secretary Of

than things the state department and
the treasury department deal with. /
can see no reason for his acceptance
| Of the place in ,the cabinet assigned
| him other. than his warm personal
| friendship for the president and his
loyalty to the party. 1t will be a mir
acle if President Harding does not
stand in need of such friends as Fall
ere Ills administration is year old;
but it seems 10 me that Fall could
render his friend better service In the
senate where the battle will be should
there be battle, than in the cabinet:
It is history that Mr.. Cleveland
made mistake when he took out of
the senate three leading men and put
them in his cabinet. That was his
first term. Every president needs
friends In the senate. And today the
United States senate Is the most arro-

The arms are connected by a spiral spring; which passes through a tube that is hung on q rod carried by the armature of an electric magnet When the electric magnet is energized the arms are agitated with movements stimulating life, the effect being in creased by the resilsency of the spring.
