ons alike fgr the president and the coun-
try. Stripped of its .sacerdotal integu-
ments the language of the president
means that he looks upon the relation of
his Cabinet to himself as personal rela-
tionship, and that those members of his
official faily who agree with him are good
v,cmbers, while those who disagree are
bad members.
The fact is that the secretary of de-
partment is a servant of the nation. He
is not and never was intended to be SER
want of the president. He is there be-
cause the chief servant of the nation can
not do all the work involved in his office
and must therefore have lesser servants
to help him. Their function is not to serve
as mere pallid shadows and echoes of their
superior officer, but to discharge their
sworn duty to the nation.
The Presidents attitude and behavior
in this regrettable incident is that of
petulent sick man. And it is certainly
most unusual form of sickness which
leads to the ignOminOus discharge Of a
competent, faithful and unselfish subord-
mate for trying to do his duty.
BY disissing Mr.. Lansing for the reas-
ons stated, Mr.. Wilson emphasizes the
disturbing fact that at this most difficult
and critical moment we are in the hands
of leader who is sick in mind and body,
and, therefore. is liable to plunge the ma
ton into disaster There must be some
constitutional way of averting this cal
amity, even at the risk of repeating Mr..
Lansing's offense A secretary may be
punished for attending to his business
but the nation will suffer punishment if
it fails to attend to it's business-Leslie's.

in harmony with the open shop idea, but
is not with the closed shop and it is the
belief of the managing officers Of the com
pany that it is to the interest of the stock
holdt,s and employees, as well as to that
portion of the public which we serve, that
the principles of collective bargaining
without discrimination, which our indus
trial plan provides, should prevail in our

The counter announcements this

been exceptionally active during the
last few weeks.

export. Permission was refused,
the council centering its fight on
getting the cost plan Of operation
into effect.
The company also was refused
the right to curtail service on the
Fourth street line and to shorten
the Bridge line route.
Changes to Be Effective.
The changes that are to bs ef-'
fective Dec. contemplate the
operation Of only one car ON the
Fourth street line instead of three.
The lone car will be run from Third
street to Suburban island. There
will be no service from Pine street
downtown, which makes 1t possible
to remove two cars from the line.
On the Bridge line the cars will
continue On the route up Harrison
street to Third and thence west to.
Scott street and will then turn back
to Second street for the return trip.
This change cuts of four blocks,
the cars at the present running to
Warren street before turning down
to Second for the return trip.
This will make it possible to re-
move one car from the Bridge line
service. In addition to these
changes the owl service on the
Bridge line will be made a 1-hour
service instead Of the present 30
minute service.
Denman Makes Statement
B. J. Denman, president of che
company, stated this morning that
the change is the only feasible
thing to be done. The company is
not making any money In Daven-
port and the Fourth street line il
little used and the shortening OF
the Bridge line run will make little
difference to patrons, he said. Mr..
Denman estimated that the changes
will bring about a saving OF ap-
proximately $500 a month. He de-
clared that he had heard nothing
OF contemplated action Of tho city
council upon the company carrying
out its plan, but asserted that the
change would in no way be . breach
Of franchise.
