These papers have always made the moat of anything that could be said of Daugherty, and they probably account for a good deal of the odium that Daugherty has In hla home state, e But you can't say that without also saying at the same time that, discounting all this part of It, the fact that Daughertys career does not fit him for attorney general, and that the appointment, tf made, will luattfy the pretests which undoubtedly wilt arlae. Daugherty Is A standpat, old guard politician of the old achool, of the oldest living school In fact, of a school that Is out of date and ought to be kept burled He waa born In Ohio and went to ths legislature In hla late twenties. It Is of no use now to go Into the uproar and the legislative Investigation that Attended Daugherty's vote for Hherman aa against Foraker on that occasion, although undoubtedly that old tale, as well as other more recent Investigations which In Daugherty has figured, would be dug up If he were made attorney general.

In no event should so exalted an offlcs aa, attorney general be given to any man for any such personal reason as this, nor In satlsfantlon of such political obligation at Harding may feel he owes Daugherty. AU the talk about Daugherty's being the Mark Hanna of the Harding administration or tha Colonel House of it Is sheer nonsense. Daugherty Is of no such caliber as that. He haa neither the force and weight of Hanna nor the scholarship and disinterestedness of House.

And there may be more than the reformers would concede In this theory that the public expects In Its leaders such human But qualities as grstltuds and loyalty. gratitude and loyalty can't make square fit Into round boles. pecs The attorney generalship Is a very great office. No man should be put into it who Is not big enough and unimpeachable enough In reputation to be made a Justice of the supreme court. Two of the McKenna and Justices, present cam to the bench from the attorney general's office. In Roosevelts administration. Attorney General Moody was similarly elevated. Only the biggest of men end the greatest of lawyers should be made attorney general. It Is a post for such a man as Hughes. To give an office with this sort of tradition to a man whose chief place In the world Is thet of an standpat party politician la unthinkable. It would really be no kindness to give this office to Daugherty. The protests that would arias on the announcement, end the tragedy of lack of fitness that would be sure to come sooner or leter would not only be the worst unkindness to Daugherty, but would Injure Harding ae well. It Is all very well to talk of the requirements of loyalty from Harding to Daugherty. But that obligation runs Both ways If Harding Is decent enough to otter the attorney generalship to Daugherty, Daugherty should be decent enough to refuse The rule of the roughest eorl of a political code ought to auggeat that. Daugherty has Intelligence enough to know how embarrassing this one aspect must be to Hardings of cabinet-makin- g secret soul. If Daugherty's services be recognised, let It be done In almost any way but this. Of course all this talk of compensation la for Harding and Daugherty and the party leaders to consider. From the point of view of the public, tho raae hsa but one aspect; that la that to make Daugherty attorney general would be utterly deplorable.
