The resignation of Secretary Of
War Garrison is to be regretted. He
was one of the strong men in the
cabinet and President Wilson will
miss him. To our mind Mr. Garrison
made serious break in resigning
for the reason that he found himself
at variance with the views of con-
gress and the President, not on pre-
paredness, but on the best plan of
preparedness. Such a difference of
opinion ought not to have gone so far
and as we said before. it is a matter
of regret.

is really a judicial temperament He
