GARRISON'S RESIGNATION.

For day or two there was considerable of
tempest in the Republican teapot over the resig
nation of Lindley NJ Garrison as secretary of war
in President Wilson'S cabinet. and anti-adminis-
tration newspapers carried yards of news about it
and likewise much speculative comment. The
tempest has subsidized, however, by now congress,
at the suggestion of of the leading Republican
members and therefore very likely to the chagrin
of those who made such a fuss, has done the
usual thing of congratulatng the president, and
reports from the national capital say the legisla-
tive and administrative situation has been much
clarified.
We sincerely regret, of course, that Mr.. Gar
rison believed it necessary to resign for he was
popularity and rightly numbered among the able
men of the cabinet. Yet there really no occa-
sion for the temporary disturbance the resignation
served to excite in the Republican ranks, particu
larly when one remembers, for instance, the fire.
quency with which changes occurred in MIR. Roose
velt's cabinet and likewise in Mr.. Taft's.
