HUGHES BIG MAN OF FARLEY,
SAYS WILLIAM ALLEN WHITE
Declares Major Aims Are Already Achieved
And Only Details Remain.
(C) Underwood & Underwood

reporters and through them under
the eyes of the world. a rather large
man year ago, who had been one
of the leaders of American politics
for a decade and a half, sharing
honors with the great men of his
nation, is becoming a world figure
of power and consequence. He Is
doing his days work well in a most
simple fashion. He practices no
hokus pokus. INDUCES in no win
ing il by any slip the Secretary
not at all devious, not even subtle.
He is succeeding by four rather
simple and most common American
qualities; qualities common enough
save in combination: industry, in
telligence, enthusiasm and a kindly
and understanding heart.
Credit Due to Hughes.
Most Americans who get ahead at
all have one or two of these quail
ties. Harding has three. But the
lucky combination of the four plus
opportunity is galvanizing Charles
Evans Hughes for his statue in the
park. When the details of this
work are done, when the super
structure about the edifice We are
building is torn away, a MASTER
piece of diplomatic achievement will
stand forth. And Mr.. Hughes. who
fas carried out the work of the
President, but with a free hand.
must have credit for an architects
genius.
The surest arrow in his culver
is his tact-the capacity to work
with others. The Democrat on the
American delegation has forgotten
his politics. He is as American in
his activities as though he were not
a party leader in his lighter moods
Men don't shed their politics easily,
even in great causes. Mr.. Wilson
found that the greater the cause the
meaner the politics.
But the Hughes methods are not
the Wilson methods. Mr.. Wilson al
ways had industry and intelligence.
At times he glowed with enthusi-
asm. but sometimes it went dead.
Also his kindly sympathy often
damned and froze and the-machinery
about him stalled 1t is the Hughes
tact which lubricates the machinery
in this conference.
Grows to Heroic Task.
And tact has come to the Ameri-
can Secretary partly as an acquir-
ed treat and partly as the slow
growth of many years He has
overcome a tendency to brusqueness,
habit of Impotence with the
slower. wit, a way of following the
right though the heavens fall and
establish the wrong. All this, the
tremendous impact of the job may
have put upon him. Or maybe he was
ready with it when the job came.
But, however. the saving grace of
his character has been added with
the growing years of experience, it
Is there. So we Americans are wit
Messing one of those pleasant minor
miracles that delight the world, the
development of great historic
character under the responsibility
of heavy burden in doing a heroic
task. 1t is one of the most pleas
urable of national experiences.
