for him in the way he has handled our

What - true Of Mr.. Lansing. Is
equally true Of the other members OF
the present Cabinet They are mon
OF splendid ability and the highest
integrity. and have measured up fully
to the great duties of their respective
positions.
It must also be remembered that
no administration in the last nfty
years has had upon 1t such tremen-
dous responsibilities From the very
moment President Wilson assumed the
duties Of his ONCE until now. matters
Of gravest concern to the safety and
welfare OF our country have boen be-
fore him and his Cabinet almost daily
for solution. How we'll they have
succeeded Is known to every loyal
American citizen. regardless OF party
utilization.
The President has indeed been for
tunate In the selection of members
of his 'official family" and instead
of having as his daily advisers men
of low average ability" he has had
men of superior ability. who have
been loyal, true and faithful to every
duty and responsibility that has come
upon them.

able to appoint better men7 II so.

A door to darkness and despair.
