Hoover and Hughes Head On.
1t requires only glance AZ the diff
culties encountered in the effort 10 dis
mantle the stupendous temporary"
civil machine built up for war purposes
to understand how violent and powerful
the opposition to disturbing the existing
status of any bureau or division VIII be.
Mr.. Hughes and Mr.. Hoover are men
Of strong VIII: II would be inIpolite to
call them stubborn. Neither has dis
played great desire 10 conciliate poll
ticians. Everybody with whom they will
have official relations in Washington is
a politician.
Mr.. Harding win also have in his
Cabinet two master manipulators of
party politics-Mr. Daugherty. his per-
sonal representative, friend and guide, in
the Attorney-Generars office. and Mr..
Hays. the reconstructor OF the Repubn
can machine, as Postmaster-General.
Mr.. Daugherty has performed essential
services for Mr.. Harding personally
Mr.. Hays took the wreckage of the Re-
publican party left after four defeats in
Congress elections. split within its
ranks and two beatings in Presidential
elections and made II a useful, smooth
running instrument OF politics. The ef-
fects of Mr. Hays's efficient engineering
were apparent in local elections before
the great success Of 1918. forecasting
the triumph of 1920, definitely fixed his
place among great party organizers. He
has been siugularly immune from accu-
sations of failure to make good on cam
paign promises. One OF the remarkable
facts OF the post-election period has
been -he absence OF charges of post
election promises by Republican leaders.
Yet there will be reward seekers dog
ging the footsteps of both Mr.. Daugh-
erty and Mr.. Hays. It Is fortunate for
these two gentlemen that they are fa-
miliar with compromises in politics, and
this, too. is fortunate for Mr.. Harding.
Mr.. Daugherty's Office has assumed a
new popular Importance in recent years
Once vulgar offenders against the Grim
inal laws and great offenders against
the antitrust laws were the principal
objects of its pursuit. The average citi-
zen felt its prosecution only indirectly.
But OF late years. with such enactments
as the war made necessary or possible.
the Department OF Justice, with its high
~ organized detective bureau and its
finger in many pies with which 1t ohce
had nothing to do. comes close TO every
body What the United States marshal
once was only to the residents OF Terri
tories and Federal districts he now is to
the people OF even the most highly or
ganized States and prosecutions by the
United States Attorney for crimes of all
sorts are the daily fare OF communities

Calvin Coolidge In the Cabinet.

Mr. Harding's decision TO bring the
President into closer relations with
the Executive department than that Of
ficer has heretofore sustained entails in
definite opportunities for cooperation. OF
presents chances for grave misunder-
standings. This Is recognized by all !:
the presence of the heir to the throne
next the ruler has been a source of diff
Gculty In more than one instance.
The participation OF Mr.. Coolidge in
executive discussion will test the tact
and self-restraint OF Mr.. Harding and
Mr.. Coolidge. The aloofness hitherto inn
posed on the President has not been
a mere matter of form, but, In the judg-
ment Of many observers, a wise precau-
tion for the preservation of harmony.
In the House the old line majority Ia
as overwhelming as IL is In the Senate.
The only problem either chamber offers
is the organization and direction OF these
majorities. and IL is n lamentable fact
that neither discipline nor leadership is
the most conspicuous characteristic OF
either majority. This is portenuous
Such great and unwieldly majorities
without efficient leadership may split
hopelessly. Lacking strong centralized,
intelligent direction, they may fall vic
tim 10 the clash Of district politics and
the indefinable force which manfests
itself in the support from call OF the
folks back home" A disorganized
legislative majority with everything 70
lose is at the mercy of a minority with
everything 70 win.

Holmes was curiously distract, and
we walked up and down the garden
path for some time in silence.
Have you a clue?" l asked, at last.

bic that I am utterly mistaken. The

may have remarked before that
Holmes had, when he liked, a pecu
liarly ingratiating way with women
and that he very readily established
terms of confidence with them. In
half tho time which he had named
he had captured the housekeeper

as if he had known her for years.

that he was smoking with extraordi-

shared our hosts liking for the fresh
