MIR. LANSING'S TRAINING

Robert Lansing, who is now dis
charging theduties of secretary OF
state. and who fit is thought will
be appointed to that position in
the course of the next few weeks is
81 years of age, and has for over
twenty years of that period been en-
gagged in important work of diplo-
matte or international character.
Mr.. Lansing some years ago mar
ried a daughter of John w. Foster,
of Evansville, who was secretary of
state under President Harrison, and
who has been engaged since leaving
Office in international work of an i'm
portant character. Mr.. Lansing's
first public employment came in
1892, when, at the age of IS, he was
selected as counsel for the United
States in the Boring Sea arbitration.
He acted as counsel for the United
States later in three other important
international cases, and is under
sood to have done remarkably good
work in his last employment of this
kind, which was in 1912, before the
Hague tribunal in the settlement of
certain disputes with Great Britain
over monetary claims.
March 20, 1914, or more than four
months before the beginning of the
european war, Mr. Lansing was
lamed counselor of the state depart !
nent during the whole war; he has
supervised all our foreign CORES
he is in close touch with
III our diplomatic representatives.
md he has proven himself one Of the
'est equipped men in the transaction
# foreign diplomatic business that
he state department ever had.
President Wilson will pick his own
ecretary of state, but the country
ill be satisfied if Mr. Lansing is
hosen.-St. Petersburg lndepend-

ing 10 letter Of inquiry, Supervisor Lips
said:
'In reply have TO advise that the most
serious problem confronting me in my ef-
forts to reconstruct the Carlisle School along
broader and more efficient lines is the local
environment, particularly with respect to
moral conditions, aud the sale of liquor to
our Indian students. Probably in all of our
large non-reservation schools there is more

1 should like, however, before presenting
my definite plans to the Commissioner OF
Indian Affairs for his approval, to be able to
assure him that the moral environment of
the school is such as TO warrant him in ap-
proving my plans for greater, stronger,
and more stable institution, offering greater
opportunities in every way for the proper
training and education of the more advanced
and ambitious Indian youth of our country.
1t is therefore squarely up to Carlisle
whether this great institution is enlarged and
developed or whether it will be permitted
to be continued as merely an ordinary Indi-
an school, the government developing other
schools on account of the rotten saloon corr
ditions at Carlisle.

ings this week was the attempted impeach-
ment Of the old committee by an applicant
who claimed She had given 50 cents in
money and r. 50 in tobacco, cigars ste.
to secure enrolment for some relative, but
fell fiat. This kind of talk or evidence
should be kept out of the proceedings, for,
knowirgaas as we do the men on the commit
tee we are ccrtain they would not stoop to
such action. This certaitly is purely an at
tempt to belittle the members of this COM
mittee in the eyes Of the new commission
and should not be given crediance in any
manner.
As to the overhauling OF the list made up
last fall we do not believe an attempt will
be made to do so but will stand as made up

sibly be added through this rehearing. How
