Cabinet DiSintrg,utiun

II AXE no, too seriously the stories which
are IN circulation telling of Cabinet
designations. Such rumurs pursue every
administration. in lis early stages Once
the Honeymoon" wears OF and the glamour
OF holding high Office fades the rossips
busy themselves with reports that Cabi
not clashes have taken place; that tho Pres
idcnt has weighed and found wanting more
than one member of his official family. and
that now leadership must be brought into
the councils OF government
Most al The resignation gossip OF tho
past few weeks has ccnic:cd about Secrc-
tary OF state Charles r.. Hughes and Secrc-
tary OF the Treasury andrew W. Mellon
Just why Mr.. Hughes should step down Is
iaT NOR" difficult 10 understand than would
be the possible retirement OF Mr. Mellon
The Secretary Of state is undoubtedly hav-
ing splendid time %! il. He is easily the
foremost figure in the present administra-
ton. He is not being intcrfered with Nv
the President and he is not the least afraid
OF bronco backing on tho part OF the United
states senate. The safer guess is that Mr.
Hughes Will ronain whore he is unit! the
end OF this administration.
As 10Y Mr.. Mellon. it may be true that he
was publicly rerndiatcd when his taxation
program was rejected, and i, may be true
'4i'st HIS ittiiHES Nti' Duit thereby. but he
may prove to be the Kind OF Il soldier who
knows how 10 receive orders as we'll rs TO
give orders, and tina, lie feels no deep re-
sentiment over the fashion in which the
President has humiliatcd him.
Whether Attorney General Daugher;v
viii pul up stakes and return to private
life, as has been repeatedly predicted. is n
question he alone can answer But there
are circumstances which would seem TO
support that suggestion. Mr.. DauEhcrty
Ia not man OF wealth. He is no longer n

Meanwhile il is safer to discoun, IN.
