Washington s words that we can not mix politics
with commercial ambitions so far as foreign
nations are concerned
WHY FLETCHER RESIGNED.

Although Ambassador Fletcher resignation
preceded that OF Secretary Lansing, it is reas-
enable to infer that it came from like cause.
1t is known that Secretary Lansing was in con-
sultation with the Mexican ambassador at the
time that he, the secretary, wrote the note TO
the Mexican government demanding cessation
of the invasion Of the rights OF our citizens
This note made it appear for few days that
tits government was through with watchful
waiting. But the president interfeTed, snubbed
the senate, which was evidently spurred to deep
interest in the administration apparent dis
position to administrate national affairs, and
took from Mr.. Lansing all management OF the
Mexican situation. AS a result there have been
more outrages, there is more blatant disregard
OF American rights and Mexico has cancelled
CONSUL jenkins papers and will bring him to
trial. Ambassador Fletcher probably found
himself useless and helpless since the president
ignored him by ignoring Secretary Lansing.
There has been lot of nonsense written about
the master mind'' of late. Maybe it is not
such nonsense as it seems. Perhaps we are in
an era in which the potential Of the master mind

entered a theatre and the audi
ence is said to have applauded
him for many minutes-and that
was depressing, too, for those who
could not forget that there was a
sick, il peevish man, concerned
in that applause as well as MI.
Lansing. Somehow, one keeps
finding things out of harmony and
machinery out OF gear.
But on the human side, think OF
what Mr.. Wilson's state OF mind
must be. Think Of the sorrow
that must be his and the regret
and the impatience. There he
sits in a chair, incummunicadO, in
the midst of the greatest power
that any man in the world now
possesses. In the midst Of Oppor-
tunities and duties and RESPONSE
bilities that literally affect the
whole world he is almost helpless.
Think of what it would mean to
him to be able to go about, to act
and to speak, to plead and to de-
fend-and none of these things
can he do, or at least not in the
full sense. Think of having so
much to do-and then to be SO de-
MED the doing of them. 1t is one
of the great tragedies in Ameri-
can history.
And the most unfortunate thing
in the situation, both for the presi-
dent and the people, is the fact
that he remains in an attitude of
antagonism, If not defiance. A
man in need of sympathy forfeits
it by kicking out of office sec
rotary Of state whose greatest per-
sonal blunder seems to have been
his abjectness to the mind of his
chief, with whom it cannot be said
that he has been in actual sympa-
thy since the days the president
embarked on his great European
expedition. Mr.. Lansing was
too well versed in constitutional
law, too deeply stepped in the ira
ditions of American diplomacy to
acquiesce in the things that the
president was undertaking to do.
Mr.. Wilson at that time needed
some one to tell him the truth
was that he could not do such
things as he did and continue
under the constitution which, af-
ter all, must continue to be not
only the source of all power, but
the north star by which the ship
of state must be guided Alright.
But the whole cabinet seems to
have lived in abject fear of the
chief, and when they met for the
first time during his illness, SO
we are told by even Mr.. Lansing,
it was to present him with the
assurances of their "loyality"-
why should any such assurances
have been deemed necessary by
either the cabinet or the president
they might have been demanded
and rendered under a sick mon
arch, say one of the Louis's of
France.

PREMATURE OPTIM1sM.

The announcement from Paris that the league
of nations can solve the problem Of information
al exchange seems premature optimism. In
the first place the league does not at present in
clude the great creditor nation-the United
sStates-and without the creditor in cooper
alton it is hard to see how the league can solve
IA problem in which payment Of debts to it consti-
tutes the maj difficulty. 1t is not meant that
this nation must become member Of the league
to cooperate with the league in this any
other International adjustment but such CO.
operation must necessarily wait until the matter
of relationship to the league is settled here.
Co-operation from without the league would
necessitate new mechanics and this would
have to be set up preparatory to its funotioning
Before this was achieved the business interests
Of the nations concerned if left untrammeled
by their respective governments, might easily
have made good start toward working out a
program of finance.

Cyrenius Cole, Editor Of the Ce-

of Washington itself Is depress-
ing. Somehow or other the pea
pie are alienated from the man
who is suffering in their midst.
No one seems to care about it
although many feel alarmed about
what may happen or what may be
done, for it is serious matter to
have the head of nation SO afflic-
ted in time SO critical as the
present. There is evaporation
and some indignation even. AS
have tried to analyze it think
it is due to the reticence Of the
white house itself The doctors
and those who are guarding the
secrets of the place may be to
blame. Why should the disease
have been treated as mysterious
one? Why concealment OF any
kind? The truth was bound to
come out. If it was a stroke, no

created the sympathy that is now
SO woefully lacking even in this
city, from which Woodrow Wilson
seems to have lived aloff even in
his well days, SO differently from
William III. Taft and William Nc
kinley especially-while Theodore
Roosevelt Of course, was in every
thing that pertained to Washing
ton.
Taft and Mckinley, it seems,
were most of all beloved in Wash
ington, because they had SO many
human and most affable qualities.
But Woodrow Wilson has been a
man alone, and one can hear that
even his most intimate official adj
visers have not known very much
of what was in his mind. They
call it now an autocratic state of
mind. And it must of been that.
The Lansing incident which is
still talked about every day, is
an illustration or exemplificatfon
of that mind. Mr.. Lansing when
called upon for explanations re
piled that they had sought to keep
things going during his illness,
but the president replied that
cabinet cannot sit or function
without the president docs that
mean that the government, in an
executive capacity. cannot func-
tion without him? Can the gov
eminent, or could the government .
wait until the doctors permitted
him to act?

character and influence have grown until they
are almost as we'll established in the affairs of
the nation as the Declaration Of Independence
or the constitution.
During the recent long months Of struggle,
when the whole world was rocking with the
bloodshed of mankind when it seemed that
peace had become a myth, it was the memory
Of such men as Washington which spurred our
doughboys on to victory. AS his memory and
the memory of such men as Lincoln makes a
thrill through the veins of every red blooded
American so should the words of warning is
sued by George Washington when he left the
presidential chair create the same thrill and
pride in the fact that America is for America

For the terrible, keen, swift race of it;
Fiery steeds in full control,
Nostrils aquiver to greet the goal,

Holding the runaway wishes back,
Refining the will to one steady track,
Speeding the energies faster, faster,

Of course it is international procedure for the

sanity will not predicate that while we are not

what Mr.. Wilson wants but cannot see its way

Raise Reindeer to Combat High
 Cost of Living

St. Paul, Minn., Aug. 14.-A sug- gestion that reindeer be raised in northern Minnesota as an aid in com batting the high cost of eating has been received by w. T. Cox, state forester, from a Duluth resident.
 Millions of reindeer and caribou thrive on the northern part of the continent, the Duluthian said, and reindeer meat from Alaska finds a ready market in Minneapolis, St Paul and other cities. He proposed that tract of 10000 square miles in northern St. Louis and Cook coun- ties, Minnesota, be fenced and stock ed with reindeer as an experim ent
 Forester Cox said he believed such an undertaking would prove both practicable and profitable, and de clared he would favor the experiment because the forage would be used and the danger of forest fires would be lessened.
 Canadian capitalists are expert menting with reindeer raising 1T northern Manitoba and Alaska, tht forester said, and a private enter prise probably would produce quick ,er results than one assisted by tht state or federal government.
