But ju this particular moment. may, things at the White « mot nearly so blamed happy 4 might be. ‘And they do say, in the langu ‘of one well-known congressman, that “this administration is sitting on & Wolcano beside which the Ballinger Pinchot row of 10 years ago wa oki potato.” Personally, I think this is an aggerated expression, yet the » facts are there is a powerful he trouble brewing in Mr. Harding's ficial family. eee To besin, Secretary Herbert Hoover, “the handy man of the cab- inet,” is copping off all tne fine pub Lieity jobs. First, he was appointed fe ‘@hairman of the Colorado river ex onstruction ®iven to any American since Goethals Swas set on the Panama canal. That Job, with the glory that will natur Billy go with it, rightfully fell in Sec ‘Fetary Fall's department, but Hard ‘ing evidently concluded, that Fall ‘wasn't up to it. Next Herbert copped off the chair- ip of the Harding All.Amer- League of Nations, an idea which oO inated in the brain of ‘Elihu rect some years ago, but Which was developed by Hoover. ~ Special annoyance has undoubtedly > been engendered in the interior de partment because it is now known that Mr. Hoover is headed straight from “point to point,” regardiess of What may happen to the head of the Moreover, there is said to be Plenty of iil-feeling between Hoover and Secretary Hughes for two rea pons: First, Hoover was appointed ‘as one of the chief advisers to the American Big Four at the armament gonference, and pretty soon he be Gan copping off some desirable pub Deity in that quarter ame the All-American league ap. nt from the president, a job h, of course, falls properly Within Mr. Hughes’ purview So now, Hoover has shown both the state and interior departments that he ts one fair-hatred lad with whom they must reckon in future. hen came the unfortunate White House contretemps, when the presi. dent, speaking informality to the pewspaper men, declared that he did Mot understand the four-power pact te include the homeland of Japan un der the head of “insular possessions” ‘and the apology next morning de-| manded and obtained. Humiliated as everyone was at this awful spectacie of the president be ing. required.to cat his own words at the behest of a group of his min- isters, the latest reaction to this af fair is one of anger at Hughes for permitting the chief of the nation to be put in such an embarrassing po- Mr. Hoover is not a man of small ambition, and the rumors which per sist. in floating around official Washington all unite in the belief that if Me planets are in the right conjunction, Mr. Hoover will be a @andidate for the White House oc- eupancy in 1924, the other rumored candidates to date being Secretary Hughes and Postmaster General Will Hays, who isn't yet officially out of the cabinet, altho he is probably go- ing out. cee Of course, some cheerful idiot has started a story that Hoover is going after Hiram Johnson's toga in Cali- fornia this fall, but never think that Herbert will do anything #0 foolish Nothing, humanly speaking, can beat Hiram next year, not even if he side steps the vote on seating of New. berry ‘well, and he‘might do both. Hiram fs @ great politician, and his official Tecord is pretty blamed good, taking everything into consideration. eee What's the trouble with Harding? It is hard to say. But this is a big country and the Job of president of the United States fs the bizcest job in the world and ir.
