sThe recent disasters in the stock market were bad enough; but they were
not the worst feature of Secretary Lansings il-considered utterances inter
@pning the Presidents note to the European nations at war.
The worst feature was that any government official should have had it. in
his power to do 81 much damage;and that, possessing such power, he should
have exercised it so clumsiy, even brutaly. One may acqut MrsLansing Of
had sense enough to reduce his comment to writing, to have studied its prl
port, to have measured its efect-and to have preserved a. written copy of
what he spoke so hastily to the newspaper men. Oral statements are al
ways subject to distortion when reduced to type through different mediums;
and such statements always call for further explanation. In this latter Mr..
Mr.. Lansing was Immediately proifc-but the damage had. been done &
rs "Unfortunately for the dignity of American government, this latest fasco
does not stand alone. Looseness in the USE of language of serious import has
been too frequent in the last four years. Statements that require expena-
lions + retractons within "a hours cannot inspire confidence at home + re-
spect abroad. Disregardng the conflicting statements that have been made
upon matters of national policy by the President himself, we may find ample
illustration in the statements some time ago by Secretary of War Baker re-
garding an alleged discovery 0 ia conspiracy on the Mexican border created
for the purpose of embarrassing the administration, which was explained
away on the same day, and the, recent statement Of the Federal Reserve
Board regarding the purchase Of certain foreign treasury bills which the
board found necessary to explain Immediately. The penchant for talking
first and thinking afterward to emphasize the desrabifty Of more govern

Discretion is a rare gift and not many lei possess it. Yet congress lis con-
stanty proceeding upon the theory that any man who holds a presidential
commission is a MAJ of discretion. In fact, most presidential commissions
state that the appointing power reposes faith in the discretion of the APP
pointe. How often has that faith been rudely shaken? @
Thus, we find laws constantly enacted which 5setup broad generaities Of
administration and which then submit the execution 81 those general princi
pies to the discretion Of q ministerial officer. IL aSe6k1tary of State is found,
as II Lansing has been, to be deficient in disnn1b4& how can expect to
find it in officials of far less degree, The truth is that our Lawmakers have
gone too far in trusting to individual discretion in the interpretation and ad-
mlnistraton Of the statutes. It. is a short cut to legislation, but it is most
mWlse. Laws should be specific. If they need interpretation, we have the

What's the use of saving at the bottom if you waste it at the top. Or, to
get back to the honnely old proverbs, why save at the spgot and waste at the
bung? Or why save the pennies and scatter the dollars?
The American people ire beginning to consider these things in connection
with the high cost Of living. They have q very close connection with it.
The connection is seen in the recent session of the American Society of Me
chanical Engineers, when an association called the "New Machine" wa form

The connection is seen in the statement made recently by a economist that

ducers cost to be only 80 per cent Of the selling price to the consumer

The war must 60 n Or, at any rate, it cannot be brought to an end until
the Central Powers are ready 70 confess themselves beaten. That is the plain
meaning of the reply of the Entente Allies to the Teutonic offer of a peace
conference. There is nothing surprising in this. It is precisely the answer
that has been foreshadowed since Germany made her peace move. Nor is the
situation likely to be in the least altered by the answer the Allies are still
to make to President Wilson's note. The way remains open for Germany to
state her terms, but since Germany accounts herself the victor, il IS scarcely
possible that her terms would be such as to evoke anything but a stout mega
tive from the Allies. @ \ N@ss
&. Ihus tits plain that nothing remains but a continuation of the slaughter,
until one side IF the other is forced to- cry quits. Yet the fact that for the
first time since the war began twenty-nine months ago one side is ready to
talk peace, lis not without its note of hope. ss #f#
Just what has brought Germany and her allies to this frame Of mind must
remain q disputed point. It may be that they believe their military successes
are at the zenith, and that peace now would give them greater fruits than
might pc obtainable later. It may be that their peoples rare so war-weary that
political considerations dictate an-early peace It may be that the problem
Of feeding the people is becoming insouable. It may be that a combination
Of these causes lies back of the action taken. And there is the further theory
advanced by the Entente reply that the peace offer was q war move, a bit Of
diplomatic strategy designed to rehiblitate Germany in neutral opinion, and
cause dissenton among the Allies.
In any event, there seems IS yet no common ground for the combatants
e. stand on. That must be reached through the blood and agony Of more
