NEW MEXICOS FIRST CABINET MEMBER

THE appointment of Senator Albert g. Fall TO the secrctaryship OF
the interior in President IIardings cabinet is a signal honor for
. New Mexico and is an equally notable tribute to the ability
and public service of senator Fall and the position he has made for
himself in national affairs.
The appointment to a cabinet post of a man from a state having
but three electoral votes is more than an unusual political occurrence
1t establishes IA precedent. 1t can be explained on no other ground
than as a recognition of the ability and attanmcnts in public life Of
the man TO whom the honor has been accorded.
There is equal cause for congratulation not only on the part of
New Mexico. but of the whole great west that President Harding has
chosen for this post a man as prominently fitted as is Senator Fall by
training, experience and intimate personal knowledge, TO deal wisely
with the problems of the interior department administration, III
which these western states are most intimately concerned.
