i believe that party lines should dis
appear when the nation is in danger.

ex-president Roosevelt, with whom he
had had bitter feud since early in
the Taft administration--"th in
such a crisis all other lines of cleav-
age between citizens should be wiped
out. Theodore, you and / have dis
agreed, but so far as | am concerned,
much of my feeling toward you has
been removed by what you have said
just now. Whether we shall agree
on all points in the future / cannot
say, but during this crisis | am with
you heart and soul, and | am with
you, Mr.. President, in your capacity
as head of the nation. We must
stand or fall together"
Col. Roosevelt reached across the
table and clasped the other ex-presi-
dents hand, and according to our in
formant, there was the slightest sus-
picion Of dimness in his eye, for the
break between the two men had ended
a long friendship, and one that had
been highly valued on both sides.
After this, the other members of the
circle spoke briefly. Mr. Root said he
could not conceive of any man seeking
to derive political advantage from the
situation confronting the country, and
John Sharp Williams with his mimi
table southern accent declared that
any man who would even wish to do
so ought to be hanged as traitor.
There was a thrill in the hearts of
the younger men when the veteran
Richard Olney pledged himself to
work with any man who is true
patriot" and when Justice White, who
had been a Confederate soldier, de-
clared that he would stand side by
side with the republican leaders with
as much of earnestness and enthus-
iasm as he had stood in the ranks of
the Louisiana Tigers as boy in 81.
"Only this time" he said. 81 shall
be fighting for the Old Flag instead
of against it."
Then the president explained his
ideas somewhat in detail. He showed
his hearers the designations of his
cabinet, delivered to him that morn
ing "in the interest of general well
fare" as one of them expressed it.
Secretary of the Navy Daniels had de-
clared that he believed himself unfit
to be at the head of the nations fleets
in time of war or prospective war, and
offered TO step aside "for any man
you may select, from any party, who
is suited for the place" Mr.. Bryan,
secretary of state, an ardent advo-
cate of peace, had told the president
that. he believed a coalition" cabinet

IL wish that every poor sufferer

Mrs. Caroline Rhyme, of Jackson,
while in conversation with the Tanlac

Mrs. Rhyme then went on to ex-

nervous disorders.
IL used to suffer from backache and

LANSING MAN is TELLING HOW
MOST WELCOME CHANGE
HAS COME OVER HIM

b. S. Carleton, of 108 S. Chestnut
Street, Lansing, tells story which
seems almost too good to be true. Mr..
Carlton is messenger in the capitol
at Lansing and is well-known and has
host of riends. This is what he
says:
"A friend Of mine who used Tanlac
gave his testimonial. read it in the
paper and it proved the means of
bringing about the first relief from
stomach trouble.
Il suffered especially" continued
Mr.. Carlton, from pains in my stom-
ach and bowels and from nervousness.
My trouble was of such long stand
ing that it had become chronic. 1
could not eat without being distressed
afterwards and it was almost impos-
sible for me to sleep nights. | was
run down and weakened. had no APP
petite to speak of and just had to
force myself to go to the table some
times.
GAS said, read this testimonial
given by my friend and I knew that
he would not endorse Tanlac unless
he knew the medicine. Therefore.
when | took Tanlac / was pretty sure
it would help me if anything would.
There is not much more to tell except
that from the very start / improved
under the Tanlac treatment and today

feel fine all the time | am glad to
recommend Tanlac TO anyone suffer-
ing from stomach and bowel troubles"

was the need of the hour, and that he
would do all in his power to aid it.
81 presume there will be a howl
from the office-seeking politicians of
both parties when. all this is known"
said the president, " but that is the
least of my troubles"
"And you," he added, 81 want to
thank you all for coming here today,
and ask you to come again tomorrow
at the same hour. At that time /
should like to discuss with you our
relations with the belligerent powers,
particularly Germany; the propagan-
da being carried on in this country by
agents and adherents/ of certain of
the nations at war; the need of
strengthening the army and navy, and
various other questions. / shall ask
some of you gentlemen to accept
places in the cabinet after we have
discussed the situation more at length,
and know what your preferences and
ideas are as to the places where you
can do the most good
eve shall do whatever we can, and
in any way that seems best" said Col.
Roosevelt, and his statement was echo
ed by the others.
81 am glad to see," added the
doughty ex-president, chat you have
changed your ideas somewhat since
last fall regarding our needs in the
way of a larger army and navy"
81 have changed them,v said Mr.
Wilson, "and / do not believe we shall
find ourselves, in reality, so far apart
with respect to what we think advis-
able in the way of military and naval
preparations.
With this the gathering was brought
to a close, and the president went to
his private Office to read his daily re-
ports from ambassadors, ministers
and others who were keeping him in
touch with the situation in Europe.
The next morning the newspapers
gave to the surprised but delighted
country news that partisanship had
been laid aside; that the first and es-
sentially important steps had been
taken for temporary cabinet which
was to include the greatest minds and
most experienced statesmen of the
land; and that notice was to be serv-
ed on the world that the United
States was a country not divided into
wrangling factions, but one where the
impelling motive of all was to serve
the nation first, and allow PERSONAL
ties and the fetishes of party govern
ment to be forgotten at least until the
world should once more be at peace
and the danger to the union removed.
1t was in all truth the beginning of
new era in the history of the United

most a nonagenarian, but still keen
in mind as when he had been Presi-
dent Cleveland's secretary of state.
Fortunately one who was present
in the capacity of secretary has re-
corded for posterity what was said al
that remarkable meeting in the cab
met room of the White House. AS
was natural, President Wilson made
the Introductory remarks:
Gentlemen" he said, 81 have ask
ed you to meet here today because !

party, is capable of serving the best
interests of the whole country i'm such
crisis as confronts us today. | was

crat, and l remain an alherent of that
party, but i'm November, 1912, no man
had thought of the storm which has
since enveloped the world and chang
ed the status of nations in every
quarter Of the globe.
Therefore / feel that the leaders
Of all the people should be called into
the councils of the government at this
time. There is no time to appeal to
the country for a mandate; we have
many things to do and we must do
some of them at once. | know you are
all men whose first thought is for the
United States. Abraham Lincoln
said in 1864: What is the presidency
worth to me if / have no country?'
SO each Of us today, may well ask:
What are political parties or parti-
san policies to me If my country is
ruined?' And you all know that the
dangers we face are Of the very grav-
eef

A few days after the sinking of the
Lusitania there was momentous con-
ference in the White House. 1t was
a gathering of the great leaders, both
democratic and republican, called by
President Wilson to consider the grave
crisis which the country was facing.
1t is no exaggeration to say that new
er since the Revolutionary war, be-
fore partisan politics had developed
the lines of cleavage that had cut so
deep into our national life, had the
country's great men met thus to coun-
sci together, regardless of party lines.
Not even in Civil war days had such a
thing happened.
First among those who responded
to the presidents call that day were
ex-presidents, Roosevelt, and Taft,
the former representing the progress
sive republicans, and the latter the
more conservative wing of the party.
Elihu Root, one of the brainest dip
lomats and statesmen the country had
ever known, and like Taft conser-
vative republican, was present, as all
so Henry Cabot Lodge, statesman and
historian, at that time a senator from
Massachusetts,. Another republican
was James X. Mann, who led the CO..
horts of his party in the house Of
representatives.
Five democrats, too, were there:
Speaker Champ Clark of the house,
William J. Stone, the Missouri sena-
tor. who was at the head of the for
eign relations committee Of the upper
house Of congress; John Sharp Will
liams, brilliant and patriotic senator
from Mississippi; Edward Douglass
White, the venerable chief justice Of
the supreme court Of the United
