The Secretaru of State

In calling attention to the pitiful predica-
ment in which the secretary of state must
have found himself at Paris, nothing could
be further from intention than to add
to Mr.. Lansing's embarrassment OF course
he could have resigned, but perhaps it was
his sense of duty that made him stick it out,
perhaps willingness to sacrifice himself and
even the noble traditions of his Office in order
to prevent split in the American delegation.
Whether he acted wisely is matter of opinion;
all should, however, admit the goodness of his
motives, even though some may wonder how
long he will consent to retain his portfolio un-
der the circumstances set forth in his test
rnony. When he succeeded Mr.. Bryan in his
present post four years ago last June we
coupled with an approving comment upon Mr..
Bryans retirement the following appraisal of
his successor:
Mr.. Lansing is not, and will never be,
Root, Hay or an Oney. His promo
ton must be hailed as the outward and visi-
bic sign that President Wilson intends to
continue his policy of acting for the most
part as his own secretary of state. Mr.. Lam
sing succeeds to clerical secretaryshp in
which he will have the president as the head
of his department.
At Paris. however, the secretary of state
appears to have been denied even the clerical
confidence which his loyalty entitled him to re-
ceive-Boston Transcript.

Labor and the Anti Trust Law.

Senator Thomas says the threat OF the rail-
way shopmen to tie up the transportation lines
of the country is the legitimate outcome of the
surrender to the labor unions in 1914, when
they were exempted from the antitrust law.
The venerable statesman is wrong in this. The
situation is the legitimate outgrowth of the
shameless surrender by democratic congress
in 1916 to the railroad brotherhoods, when the
Adamson law was passed in order to make sure
of getting few more votes at the fall election.
No other act of congress in all the history OF
the country was ever secured as was this, and
none has had such wide-reachng effect on the
business Of the country. Together with the
McAdoo policy of fixing wages, the Adamson
law has put control into the hands OF the rail-
way employees, and they are merely exercising
power the democrats gave them. The Cum
Minis amendment to the Clayton act. of which
Senator Thomas complains, is a mere act of
Justice.

How the World Has Moved.

Ten years ago today the world was amazed
by the announcement that M. Latham,
Frenchman, had succeeded in flying IS miles
without stop at Rheims. This far outstripped
the utmost endeavor of the birdrnan up to that
time, and was looked upon as an epoch-mark-
ing achievement. Not the most gifted of the
spectators Of that feat would have expected
that within half dozen years the air would
be filled with flying machines, manned by fight
ing men, and that the tremendous issues in
volved in the greatest war of all history would
turn on the efficiency Of the air corps Of the
armies. Nor that within the decade mails
would be carried through the air over regular
route of thousand miles, while shorter
journeys far exceeding NJ Latham's record
would be so common as TO go unnoted. This
makes no account of the transatlantic fight
recently achieved. The incident serves to re-
mind us of the progress the world has made
in ten years, and to suggest what another dec
ade may bring forth in the way of greater
triumphs over the air
