FORGET 1T.

FORGET IT.
The Minneapolis Journal offers this
very sensible advice:

the olive branch. Now let the Repub-
licans bury the Ratchet. There is
little in the declaration of principles
by the Progressive National Commit.
tee at Chicago to which any good and
patriotic Republican cannot subscribe
Indeed, if declarations of principles
could name the candidate, there
would be no bitterness in the nominal
ting Declarations can't talk. Dele
gates can-usually 100 much.
There are some Progressives to-
day who believe that reactionary Re-
publicans stole the Republican nomi-
nation from Roosevelt four years ago.
They must forget it. So far as it's de-
claration of principles goes, the Pro
gressive National Committee has.
There are some Republicans today
who believe that Roosevelt disrupted
the Republican Party and comprised
the defeat of Taft to crafty a per-
sonal spite. They must forget it..
Many, Republicans, like Senator
Smoot of Utah; have, and would hos
anna the return of Mr.. Roosevelt to
the Party.
ITO forget the pain of the wounds
of the past is. TO put on smiling
face with which to front the future.
The seeds of bitterness never bios

LANSING URGES CAUTION
Concerning Publication of Unfounded Re-
ports from Berlin.

Washington, d. c., April 26.--Secretary
Lansing in a conference yesterday with
newspaper correspondents, deprecated
the publication of reports that official
dispatches to the state department from
Ambassador Gerard indicated that Ger
many might make concessions to the
United States in reply to the note de-
manding the immediate abandonment of
present methods of conducting subma-
rine warfare. He said official dispa tches
to the department from Berlin contained
only quotations of newspaper opinions,
similar in many cases to the editorial
excerpts cabled to this country in press
dispatches.
1t is felt here that stories indicating
that Germany might make certain con
cessions and that the German govern
ment was willing to go to great lengths
to preserve the friendly relations with
the United States might find their way
back to Germany in distorted form, and
have such an effect upon the German
people as to make more difficult the an
nouncement of any policy involving addi-
tional restrictions upon the use Of sub
The internal political situation in Ger
many always has been extremely deli
cate when questions involving submarine
policy We're under consideration.
