He was a tower of strength to the Harding and Coolidge administration. His whole training especially fitted him for the exacting tasks of that office. His name wal be written in hi ory as one of the great secretaries of i y in importance to that of the premier- ship of Great Britain. His career has been a brilliant one ‘and his administration of this cabinet office ranks in efficiency with that of Hays, | Root’ and ‘Knox, and he is ‘second to none of these in his scholarship, tact. and diplomacy in the handling of great national issues. His work in the recent campaign on the side of constitu- tional governmént, his defense of the Republican foreign policy and his remarkable exposition of Americanism in a series of speeches potently indicated that he was a better advocate of! 2nbther’s candidacy than he had Beh of his own, Upon {he stump for Coolidge he spoke with an energy | and determination wholly*slacking in his own disastrous campaign. ' Admirers of Hughés felt that had he been ele- vated to the presidency rather than Wilson, the final settle \V ment of the ¥ crisis would not have been so badly bung- |i led. Austere probably and as forbidding in his attitude to | the public as was Wilson, he had the faculty of getting team } work and putting his’plans across. Just approaching sixty-three years of age, he is in his | prime and at an age. when foreign ministers of other nations | ,are beginning to make their impression upoi the world. He} ‘seeks to retire to private life and the practice of law. Salaries paid cabinet members’ and ambassadors are too | meagre to attract the best minds. Mr. Hughes man of more than average wealth, but the probably is a drain} upoh him financially and it is well nown thaf the costs of the St. James, Paris and Berlin ministeries makes appoint- ment to these posts of men other than those of great wealth; impossible, a situation brought to public mind graphically now that a most efficient sec retary of state is about to retire. He began the practice of law in 1884 and his success was rapid. Politics soon attracted him, but he declined to be- come a candidate for mayor of New York City but did accept two terms as governor of New York and the public. still remembers the job of housecleaning he did at Albany. His work as counsel for the ‘Armstrong Insurance Committee before the New York Legislature was outstanding for its ;thoroughness and impartiality. He brought about reforms | in the handling of the great trust funds and did much to place insurance upon a solid foundation. He served only six years supreme court, resigning to accept the presidential nomina- | tion. His defeat was due to faulty management of the cam- paign and had Mr. Hughes remained at home, the chanc sare he would have succeeded Woodrow Wilson. His trip through the west was disastrous. | Upon his skill as an attorney, jurist, investigator and diplomat rests his service to the nation. He took up the} office of secretary of state at a time when our foreign poli- cies were in a deplorable condition due to the feud between Wilson and the late Senator Lodge. It called for skill of a high order to take up the tangled ends and weave them into} a definite policy. He did the job well and without partici- | epption in the league of nations accomplished much for world His handling of the disarmament conference was widely “atclaimed by leaders of both parties. His directness. of action is characteristic of the man for he is not swayed by theory or foolish idealism. He faced the facts and in the -words of Dawes “kept down to brass tacks.” His servic ‘in the air-craft investigation were of no mean significance. Probably the most outstanding work is that in connection |§ “with the acceptance of the Dawes plan for payment of the German indemnity. His trip to London, Paris and Berlin accomplished much in that crisis. Negotiations in eoopera- tion with Secretary Mellon since relatiye to war debts dem- onstrate skill of a high order. It is to be regretted that he is leaving public office, but it is to be hoped that the’ administration will continue to +follow the policies initiated by him. | ‘NEW SECRETARY OF STATE tary .of state to succeed Charles Evan Hu hes is not. the’; first: western ‘man to hold that office so cloeely associated with’ the ‘careers of eastern statesmen. There was William Jennings Bryan of Nebraska under Wilson;:Lewis Cass of Miehigan under Buchanan; Elihu B. Washburne of Illinois amder Grant, names that do not. stand out very prominently jn ‘connection. with diplomatic craft. Bryan’s administr: tion of the office failed through lack of previous training for the place He simply did ‘not “fit in,” as it. were. Benjamin Harrison selected ‘John W.

He was concerned with fighting the paper arid Standard Oil trusts, counsel for the Interstate Commerce Commission in investigating of the Harriman lines and was engaged as special attorney by the federal government in the action to dissolve the UP-SP. He was equally active too as an attorney for the United States Steel corporation and served with the Hill interests in the famous Northern Securities case to which case was attached Elihu Root, a former secretary of state. difficult task. He is learned in law and his gfeat record at the court of St. James showed him to be fitted for diplomatic tasks. Public praise was given him by Coolidge, Hughes and others for the manner in which he assisted in the con- Dawes plan. The west should rejoice in the recognition given one of its outstanding figures. He rose to success from humble beginnings, receiving only a common school education and reaching the professjon of law through hard study in officés at a time when the opportunities for getting a legal educa- tion were meagre. He was admitted to the bar in 1877 at Nochester, Minn.,; but soon joined in the practice of law, with Cushman K. Davis, Minnesota’s most famous United States senator, and one of the greatest chairmen the senate for- eign relations committee ever had. Kellogg learned. from this great statesman and he could have selected no better teacher. The older generation knows Cushman K. Davis’ service to the nation and especially his great skill in diplom- a Kellogg is slightly older than Hughes being born in 6 and his success at the practice of law has been almost as great. He should prove a morthy. successor to Secretary Hughes. ;|“Did my little boy spoil it-so very much?” 5 “No,” said Johnny Sweep, “but we had to work terribly hard to keep everything right, and to see that Claus got all the notes and ADVENTURE OF THE TWINS BY OLIVE ROBERTS BARTON Snitcher Snatch decided that he “Excuse me,” lin.

The reason we are not as progressive in politics or government as we are in the production and distribution of commodities is not hard to figure out. a i Before a purchasing agent or productioh engineer will dis- card the old and install the new, the superiority of the new has to be demonstratéd convincingly to /him—in actuality, not just in oratory or theory.
