New York and Illinois.

The effort TO induce Gov. Glynn to
stand for the Senate in New York has
been followed by an effort to induce Gov
Dunno to stand for the Senate in Illinois,

harmony, and whatever he achieves In
that line prior to nomination day will be
so much to the good for him when that

considerable.
In Illinois the governorship Is not in

well, and is satisfied there. He might

turbed over the senatorial situation.
Those advocating the nomination Of Gov.
Glynn for senator have in view mainly
heading of William r. Hearst, who Is
suspected Of a desire to succeed Mr.. Root.
His political course In the state has been
irregular. but he supported the demo-
cratic national ticket two years ago. and
that record gives him standing as a
democrat today. He has a personal fol-
lowing which in every contest needs to be.
and is, taken into account.
Roger Sullivan is the disturbing factor
in Illinois, and those DESTROYS of having
Gov. Dunno enter the senatorial race are
anti-Sullivan men. They concede Mr.. Sui
livan's strength, but think Gov. Dunno
could overcome it, and save the party an
embarrassing campaign against the re-
publicans and bull moosers. Normally
Illinois is a republican state, and next
November the voters will pass on the
Wilson administration to date.
Mr.. Bryan-and he probably spoke for
the administration - promptly declared
against Mr.. Sullivan. He has not as yet
expressed himself as to New York. Mr..
Hearst Is not an announced candidate
But should he announce. Mr.. Bryan
might become as frank in his case as
he became in that of Mr.. Sullivan. His
relations are not friendly with either
The appearance Of neither as senator
would enhance his influence with that
body, or contribute to his personal salts

Each of these states has now a repub-
iican and "a democratic senator. and the
question in both Is shall The sitting SEN

The First Robin.

The first robin has been seen. Always
at about this season several persons re-
port having seen the first robin and he
is often seen in a number of far-apart
places. 1t is always agreeable to note
the appearance of the planesticus mi
gratorius, the gentleman with black
head and bright reddish brown breast
and the lady with a gray head and a
much paler breast. 1t is agreeable to
hear their familiar. loud and CHEEKY carol
of "cheerily -cheerup, cheerily-cheerup"
1t is agreeable to note their coming be-
cause some time after their appearances
aments will droop from the poplars, the
willows will begin to unfold and the
maple buds to swell. And in the low
scatter its perfume.
! In some parts Of the north the frst
robin has been reported as early as
Christmas, but a robin at that time may
be a last robin instead of a first robin
1t is not easy to determine whether he
is going or coming. More than likely
he has been detained in the north by
business engagements, good weather and
plenty to eat. Sometimes robin seen
in the dim light of carly morning may
not be robin, but a cedar WaxwlnS
redpoll. pine grosbeak or some
other bird with rosy or hrownish tone
of plumage.
The American robin is a harbinGer OF
spring He is the advance guard of the
buds and leaves, flowers and insects, and
the criticism that might be made of him
is that very often he Is too far in ad-
vance. Billiards may break through be-
tween the advance guard and the main
body. AS a harbinger the robin sup

Like all other weather prophets the
robin has made mistakes. He has sew
eral times been undone by farehacks
and he has sometimes encouraged the
citizens of Washington to take on their
fannels too early. He is sol letimes so
overzealous as a harbinger of spring
that the traction lines get snow-blocked
and the water pipes freeze.

Working for Change of Date.

The advocates of a change of date for
inauguration day, and others who per-
haps have not heretofore been classified
as advocates, have been stimulated by
the late storm into action which may re-
suit in advancing that day out of an in
clement and into a clement season. One
move in this direction has been taken by
Representative Smith of MARYLAND in in
Producing bill for the appointment of
special congressional committee of seven
members of the House and Senate to In
vestigate the advisability of changing the
Inauguration date. Action will probably
be taken soon by the rules committee of
the House on this bill. Representative
Henry, who has long been prominent in
advocacy of the needful change of date,
is chairman of the committee on rules
and an early and favorable report on this
bill is hoped for.
The investigating committee, If duly
authorized. will find that much of the
work 1t otherwise would have to do has
been done The change of date subject
has been thoroughly thrashed over. and
that the matter has not been brought to
a happy and proper conclusion is because
q great many arguments, some stupid
and some malicious, which have been
made against it have been given too much
weight There has been great deal of
talk in official circles for backwoods hear

ington Is SO far behind New York and
Chicago and other minor municipalities.
Nearly every newspaper in those cities
publishes articles about and pictures of
men and women who do winter swimming
and winter plunging in the Hudson, the
East river and Lake Michigan. Pictures
show these groups dripping with Ice
water and smiling at the camera as
though they had been splashing in sum-
mee seas or dipping in waves warmed by
July sun. Can it be possible that any
of these pictures were taken at Coney
Island on some happy Sunday last sum-
mer and are only now getting into print?
No Washington paper has had pictures
of Washingtonians plunging into the
home rivers since the excursion season
closed and the grand old Potomac turned
cold.
Can it be that there are no ice-water
idiots in Washington who go plunging
into freezing waters, or do local pho

The President and Teamwork.

John Bassett Moore's successor in the
State Department must be a Wilson man.
That is to say, he must be capable OF
what Mr. Wilson calls teamwork lie
must take the Wilson view of things. The
law and the precedents must he read in
the light of Mr.. Wilson's situation and
desires.
Mr. Moore could not accommodate HIM
self to those requirements He took Of
flee without other obligations than to ad-
wise according: to his knowledge and
Judgment. He was a recognized authority
on International law and diplomatic
usage, and as such was called to place.
Ills political views did not enter into the
equation. 1t was the lawyer who had
specialized that MIR. Wilson had in mind.
When Mr.. Moore discovered himself
incapable of teamwork he retired the
proper step in the premises. Just when
he had the first inkIing that he was In
the wrong pew is not known. Some per-
sons think it was soon after he began
work If so, he deserves credit for de-
laying his departure until he became sat
isfied of where his duty lay.
1t is asserted that President should
have under him in discharging his diplo-
matte duties only such men as he knows.
and knows to be in agreement, or willing
to come to an agreement. with his poll
icies. And yet no President should hold
himself superior to the advice OF men In
position to advise him.
Much depends. of course. upon conf
dence born of acauaintanceship and affili-
alton. For example: suppose Mr.. Will
sons first thought had been of the Mex
lean situation. even then very grave
suppose he had known the American am
bassador. and suppose the ambassador
after investigating the situation had rec
commended the recognition of the Huerta
government the best way out of a bad
fix. Should we not have seen Mr.. Wilson
take that step? Would not his confidence
In his friend have induced him to follow
his friends advice? Very likely. not
withdrawing his detestation OF the man
ner of President IIuerta's accession to
power.
But the man whom Mr.. Wilson found
in the Enthusiastically at Mexico City was
personally a stranger to him, and more
over a republican Henry Lane Wilson
had no influence with Woodrow Wilson.
His opinion OF tho Mexican situation
went for naught at the White House.
notwithstanding his familiarity with the
business and his knowledge of the Next
can officials. He thought the recognition
of Huerta by this government would
serve a good purpose both for Mexico
and the United States. and SD recon-
mended. And at that time Europe agreed
with that Judgment; and good many
Americans now do.
