country, upon a new and business-like basis.'
This means a long farewell to the rubber-stamp cabinet system,
v.-hich was highly developed undi'i' Hoosevelt and -brought to the
peak of perfection by President Wilson. Mr. Harding voluntarily
f.uiTcmlri s tlie iK'ciiiniilation ot executive aiitliority, wlncli' tnrougli

Hie most powerful position in any world power of

- The ti'iiiisfoiinatit n is a wholesome one, a necessary one, and yet
it involves dangers which all political experiments of a revolutionary
nature, involve. While1.'! he president's personal responsibilities will' lit;
lessened, the deiiuiiUls upon his, adaptability and executive skill will
be tremendously increased. ;'':.,.' . .
i For a cabinet system of divided authority" is impossible., There
must be a certain cO;ordnal ion ami unity, there must bi; leadership,
ami that leadership the President must assume. Harding's task there
fore, 'will be the difficult task pf granting power and restraining it ;
of securing .the. unrestricted pitiy of t-he individual abilities siirroiiti'3rj
ing liila, and yet never losing his essential domination. . 1

For that, after all, is the supreme test. It Harding is a great man
