Keep Lansing at His Post

THE American public will be pleased and
gratifed, we believe should President
Wilson decide to make mis- ad interim APP
pointment permanent and confer the portfolio
OF Secretary OF State on Robert Lansing, OF
New York. -. !;
The quality of Mr.. Eansing's mind has been
abundantly demonstrated in the work he has
dones. counselor OF the State Department
in the ten troubled months last past The
earlier notes 10 Germany and England are
assumed generally TO have been the produ cts
of his pen. His broad scholarship his init
mate acquaintance with the principles and
precedents of international law, combined
with fine literary taste 10 confer on these
documents unquestioned weight and au-
thority.
Either Secretary OF War Garrison or Secre-
tary Of the Interior Lane would make an ex-
cellent Secretary of State, and the Democra ic
party outside the Cabinet is too rich in avail
able timber to win much attention for the
Republican suggestion that a Republican be
chosen to fill the high Office. but this is hard
!, u tho time for experiments.
{, Mr.. Lansing has proved his worth and en-
Joys the confidence OF the President and OF
the country. Whoever is the ,.tular secre-
ta-y, MIR. Lansing, If he continues in the de-
partment, Will do most OF the work and next
to the President, bear most of the respons-
bility. He should have the honor and
dignity as well
