To an extent, it may be considered
a Compromise cabinet. in that it in
cludes a number of men whose influ-
ence on party councils has been dis
tinctly conciliatory. but study of it
strongly suggests that had the presi-
dent elect canvassed the strong men in
the more widely divided camps. he
would have experienced difficulty in
bringing together around his council
table a more distinguished or more
able group of adyisers.-Seattle Times

It is now too early to judge Of in
diyidual qualifications, or of collective

till you get out of the woods. On the
other hand, there is no use shouting

On the whole, it is strong cabinet,
proving BY that fact that Mr.. Harding
does not fear to be overshadowed by
strong men and that he does not want
weak men who would be mere chief
clerks while he ran their departments.
It is progressive in the sense that it
will be the presidents lieutenants in
leading the> nation forward, and it is
conservative only in the sense that it
will not disturb the solid foundations
Of our institutions and will not travel

Mr.. Harding, for the most part, has
selected men who have doomed in the
public eye much more prominently than
he himself. With certain notable excep-
tons. the appointments made by Mr..
Harding have evidenced a sincere de-
termination TO secure the services of
men who would be able to give not only
the benefit If large ability but the
prestige of previous accomplishment to
their work.-Muskegon (Mich) Chror-

Democratic newspapers Of the ma
ton are far better pleased, or rather,
less complaining over the Harding
cabinet than are the Republican papers.
From any angle it may be seen that
Mr. Harding is not going to haze a
picnic for the next four years And
SO far as this is concerned we do not
expect anybody else to have one
