THE INAUGURATION

While the nation is acclaiming the advent of the Republican party, it is interesting to note two unusual features of the incoming administration. Vice-President Coolidge, advocate of "Law and Order," will have an opportunity to apply his principles to further advantage as an ex-officio member of Harding's Cabinet,--an innovation on the President's part which raises the office from its former honorary status to one of important responsibilities. In the selection of his official family President Harding has vindicated the assertion of the great advantage offered by a college education. The fact that eighty percent of the Cabinet are graduates of some institution for higher education, while less than one percent of our entire population are holders of college degrees, demonstrates that the clearest judgment selects men so trained as most capable of competent representation.
