Secretary of State. Mr.. Lansing. What
could he not do on this subject in q
Republican Administration?
On March 4 year ago people VIII"
knew Mr.. Harding would have bet even
that Mr.. Fall would be leading mem
Der of the Cabinet, perhaps the domi-
nant member.
But the gods have seen it otherwise.
Mr.. Fall slipped. Mr.. Harding, being
President. ascended new intellectual
heights. along with Mr.. Hughes and
Mr.. Hoover. Mr.. Fall was left behind
away down the slope cf this new and
giddy eminence. it Is like the wife Of
your youth not being able to rise with

mutations.
Or, take the case of Mr.. Hays. who

What had Mr.. Hays n right to ex.
rect March 4 year ago? He was
chairman of the Republican National
Committee, the most heralded, the
most praised chairman since Mark
| Hanna. lie had worked miracles.
Surely he would be a dominant figure
IN the Cabinet. At any rate. he would
dispense much patronage.
The limelight did not fall upon Mr..
Hays at Washington and Mr.. Harding
kept the patronage to hiTself. not even
in spite Of rumors giving much Of it
into the hands of Mr.. Dnusherty.
IL is always so.
Mr.. Garrison was disappointed under
President Wilson and retired noisily.
Mr.. Lane was just as badly disap-
pointed and hing on. Mr.. Wilson had
his chosem few advisers, Mr.. McAdoo.

the rest of that Cabinet drew the small
prize Of the back seat in the lottery Of

Talking the same language does not
always count. March 4 one year ago a
cynical person might have predicted
that Mr.. Hughes and Mr.. Hoover would
serve as excellent window dressing
but, that the men whom Mr.. Harding
would listen to would be Fall, Duuyh-
crty, Weeks and TIays--his old asso

president of the Fairmount Park Art
Association, an Endorsement for the
Fairmount Park site. Elwood Chap.
man. president Of the Chestnut Street
