The Problem of Felix Diaz.

With Gen. Felix Diaz a refugee upor
vi American man-of-war, the President
and the Secretary of State are brought
lace to face with the delicate question
II how far the United States can af-
lord him an asylum without violating
Ihe laws of neutrality and our treaties
II amity and peace with Mexico.
If Diaz were a criminal there would
sc no doubt upon the subject. He
would have to be surrendered to the
Mexican government because the flag
" the United States. either on sea or
and. does not shelter criminals. His
:ase must be considered from the stand
point of political refugee, and even
his designation does not apparently
give him the right 20 claim protection
from a nation with which Mexico is
IN friendly terms.
The right of asylum is one of the
most widely discussed subjects in mod
:rn diplomacy. Briefly summarized, it
may be said that more and more it has

Lincoln knew that Mr.. welIes had
been an old-time States rights Demo-
crat. He had. however. differed with
the Democracy upon the slavery ques-
ton, or at least, upon the question OF
permitting slavery to be established
in the Territories.
"As an editor he had written very
strong and earnest articles in which he
supported the free-soil doctrine of the
Republican party. He was in perfect
accord with Lincoln on this policy. Mr..
Lincoln reasoned that the appointment
to his Cabinet of a man who had been
a Democrat but who had parted with
his party upon the free-soil issue was
a very expedient thing 10 do. I think
Mr. Lincoln met Mr.. Welles in Hartford
In March, 1850, at a time when Lincoln
delivered a campaign speech in that city.
1t was always my impression that i'm
mediately after Mr.. Lincoln's election he
decided that he would call Mr.. Gideon
Welles TO his Cabinet"
But why did he appoint him Secretary
Of the Navy?' / asked.
"I don't think that the question Of Mr..
Welles' fitness to serve at the head Of
the Navy Department ever entered Mr.
Lincoln's mind. II 1t did he knew very
well that IL would be possible to appoint
competent man for Assistant Secre-
tary of the Navy. and he found Just
that man In Capt. G. Y. Fox, who. was
trained naval officer"

"A Line O. Cheer. I"

"A Line o Cheer"-there's no better
start for the day! So many lines are
the intimates of care: surely Mr.. John
Kendrick Bangs, best known of pres
ent-day writers of light verse in Amer
ica, could not have done better thing
for the people of Washington than to
put good taste in the mouths of our
readers with the poems which he is
writing specially for The Herald under
that alluring caption, "a Line O
Cheer"
The full title of this editorial page
feature better shows the maximum
value of the poems-'A Line O Cheer
Each Day o. the Year" It's money in
your pocket, as well as love in your
heart and your neighbor's, to have "a
Line o Cheer Each Day o. the Year."

RAILROAD LETTERS FORGED.
Certificates of Satisfactory Formel
Employment Sold In West.

Employment Sold In West.
A novel form of fraud has developed
in a system Of selling forged certificates
of satisfactory former employment on
railroads. So many cases have come TO
light where railroads have been deceived
by forged papers. apparently signed by
Pennsylvania Railroad officers, that the
company has undertaken an exhaustive
investigation.
Most of the forged letters that have
been located so far have purported to
come from the Schuylkill division OF the
Pennsylvania Railroad, and they have
been presented by applicants for work
on California railroads Accordingly, n
searching inquiry was made in San Fran
cisco. to which place a number of the
certificates had been traced. Here IL was
learned that the proprietor Of a cigar
store made a charge Of 81 for a forged
letter OF recommendation.
He had an accomplice in a stenogra-
pher in a shop near by, who, for ths
sum of . cents, would add a few pen
ell notatiOns to give the letter some look
of genuineness. Whether there are other
such merchants in the West has not yet
been learned. but the search for them
is being continued.
The forged letters first appeared ir
the summer of 1912, and since then have
been appearing with much frequency.
One was supposed to have been signed
by c. A. Preston. former superintendent
OF the Pennsylvania Railroad between
Harrisburg and Altoona; but all Of the
others bore the forged signature of a.
W. Moss, late superintendent of the
SchuyfSiIl division. On one of the let
tiers SchuyIkll was spelled ''Schoolkuyl,
while on another Mr.. Moss, name was
spelled Morse

Mr.. Seward was very familiar with
President Lncoln's and President John
sons administrations. His father, Will
lam n. Seward, was Secretary of State
IN both adminstra tions, and Frederick
w. Seward was Assistant Secretary. He
frequently took his fathers place at
cabinet meetings when the Secretary OF
state was out Of town or confined to his
house by illness
i said to Mr.. Seward that I had heard
some OF the older politicians of Con-
necticut say that II was always a mys-
terry In Connecticut and in New England
that Gideon Welles should have been
selected by Lincoln as Secretary OF the
Navy.
Yes. 1 have heard that, or at least
used to hear it." said Mr.. Seward.
Dat there wasn't any mystery about II.
II was sometimes thought that Gideon
"elles was forced upon President Lin
coin by political intrigue and chiefly for
the purpose OF preventing him from
naming "A conspicuous Boston RepubIi-
can as the New England member of the
cabinet; but that was a mistaken view
MY father never had any illusions
about Mr.. Lincoln's selection of Mr..
Welles for Secretary of the Navy. IL
was Mr.. Lincoln's personal choice. and
It was perhaps his only appointment
TO his Cabinet which was exclusively
his personal choice. Nobody recon-
mended Gideon WeIles to him. Nobody
ever said anything to Mr.. Lincoln about
Mr.. Welles as an available New Eng
land man for Cabinet minister.

Opepmindedness.

Openmipdedness is one OF the
rarest AID yet most desirable of vir-
tues We are reminded of this fact
by the present situation as to pend
ing currency legislation in Congress.
We are convinced that from the
very beginning, last spring. there
mas been an earnest and sincere ef-
fort on the part of members of both
Houses, irrespective of party, to
larry through a piece of fine, con-
itructive legislation for the best in
.erests of the country as whole.
t is hardly necessary to add that
n this effort President Wilson has
aiken leading and vigorous part.
And almost the only criticism that
We would venture to make upon
!hese Legislators is that, from time
o time, they have seemed to show
;ome evidences of not keeping their
minds entirely open. Even the high
ly intelligent editorial writers Of
The Herald are not wise enough to
clitieise intelligently the technical
provisions of the pending bill. But
they think that they can see as well
as any one the characteristics which
the whole situation has shown. And
to US it has been manifest more than
once that various committee men,
oers have been too prone to assert
positively that the bill is already
perfect piece of legislation; that
suggestions for amendment are not
welcome, and that no further infor-
nation is desired. More than one of
he highly intelligent members of
he Cabinet have also adopted the
,ame attitude. Such a feeling was
exhibited in the effort that was
made to discourage the Senate Com
nittee on Banking and Currency
rom holding any hearings. Yet
sVen the most ardent supporters of
he bill in the House must now ad-
nit that the Senate hearings have
'een most significant and valuable.
And now comes Chairman Glass
With his statement of Monday morn
ng in regard to the so-called Van
derlip suggestion, as to a central
rank, to be controlled by the gov
.rnment. Mr.. Glass shows consid-
srable irritation because a new sug-
gestion has been put forward. And
We firmly believe that Mr.. Glass
himself, whom we esteem highly for
MS patriotism and intelligent indus
:ry. will be one of the first, upon
:efection, to acknowledge that in
MS statement of Monday he failed
10 maintain an open mind" We
commend to him and to all of our
readers who are in favor of the
freest possible discussion upon this
all-important subject, the letter to
the editor in our issue today, signed
by the pseudonym "The Real Facts"
This letter is at any rate an illumi-
mating comparison of the Owen
Glass bill ard of the so-called Van
lerlip plan. As to this latter, we
ire neither for nor against it. There
IS enough food for reflection in the
etter of our correspondent to lead
Is to urge again, most respectfully,
lpon the members of both branches
# Congress the value and virtue of
,penmindedness.

The Democratic administration aud
its reform CD policies do some queer
things. 1t has been decided by the
powers that be to turn down the Sc
lection of Judge Chadwick as federal
judge for the western district of Wash
ington, on the grounds that he is
too conservative. What on earth the
state of mind has to do with filling the
position acceptably as judge is beyond
the comprehension of the average
mind, but it suits in this case. Judge
Chadwick has been favorably consid-
cred for the position by all kinds OF
people in this state, irrespective of
their political belief. He is Demo-
crat, but the Republican press has felt
that he is an excellent man for the
place, and has not hesitated to say so.

thing. He is always glad if someone
can offer a new suggestion. The far.

nothing to complain of except the low

willing or ready to learn. He is still
worrying over the mortgage and the
high rate of interest which he has to
pay.

No person in the state of Washing
