international Law. It was on account
Of that specialization he had received
the appointment Of counselor of the
department. He was thus ready to
hand when the President needed man
to fill the vacancy occasioned by Mr..
Bryan's resignation.
Mr.. Wilson as President has been
more attracted to foreign than to do
mestic affairs. In large measure he
has insisted ON being his own foreign
minister, and has asserted himself so
strongly in that field both Mr.. Bryan
and Mr.. Lansing at last rebelled. As
foreign affairs are still most interest
ing and important, the President, now
that he is getting into action again,
may be expected to continue, and even
increase, lis activity with regard to
them, and SO make more necessary
than ever the presence in the State
Department of man willing to accept
without question the Presidents con-
clusions about all matters of that de-
partment.

A Sign of Spring.

Winter thunderstorms are not of
extraordinary rarity in this climate,
and that of Saturday night is to be
taken as a manifestation of good omen.
It was followed, as frequently happens,
by a sharp drop in temperature.
Weather-wise ones. indeed, prepared
for the chilly northwest wind as soon
as they heard the rumblcs following
the flashes Saturday night. The de-
scent of the mercury was rapid and
severe and brought 4 bit of the cold
est weather Washington has expert
enced this winter. Now the forecasts
of the long range prophets tend toward
an early spring. In ordinary circum-
stances the winter cannot last more
than three or four weeks longer. Some
of this city's severest visitations, how
ever, have occurred in this period just
before the buds appear on the trees.
It is to be expected that there will be
at least one more sharp bit of winter
after the moderation of the present
low temperatures. The hope of all is
that it will not bring much snow.
Washington does not care much for
snow and looks ardently forward to
the days when the parks show their
first soft green's and the birds begin
to sing.

This is an excellent topic for dis

clearing the way.
Some day we'll be needing, in talk and
in reading, the prospects for
leading
The race in base ball;
Mid grand preparations for big cele
brations, about designations
We won't care at all.
When March is impending and mists
are ascending where Boreas is
blending
The ice and the snow,
Man feels it his mission, with bad dis
position, to join the condition
Of bluster and blow
But when they are taking a whirl at
vote-making amid the handshak-
ing
And gay serenade,
Well find they were never more ge-
NAL or clever with graceful en-
deavor
To bid sorrows fade.
But now they are striving with able
contriving in hope Of arriving
By tongue or by pen
At a placid convention, all free from
contention, without even mention
Of article X.

Mr.. Marshall as Delegate.

The democrats of Indiana will prob
ably gladly crafty Vice President
MatshalPs wishes and send him as a
delegate to the San Francisco eonven-
fioi. And democrats of other states
should take pattern, and send men of
hist grade to represent them. There
will be need, indeed, of the best ma
terial the party can command to i'm
prove an occasion of very great i'm
portanee.
The work at San Francisco, and al
Chicago as well, calls for ability, ex,
perience, sincerity and farsightedness
It is never an easy task to write a ma,
tional platform and cap it with presi
Dental ticket, but it is going to be !
particularly difficult task this year
Some old things have passed away
Some new things must be taken in
hand. Conditions unparalleled in oul
affairs face us with a challenge that
cannot be ignored or declined.
In announcing his wishes, Mr.
Marshall discusses the situation in The
tone and terms of an old fashioned
democrat. Jcffersonian principles still
look good to him. In his judgment thu
country has not outgrown them. Al
adjustments made necessary by tn,
war can, in his opinion, be fashioned
on the old models. And that is wha
he wants done-that is what he viii
propose if sent as delegate to Sal
Francisco.
There are men who will describe Mr.
Marshall as a reactionary. They hole
that Mr. Jefferson and his friends wer,
wise in their day and generation, bu
are not the proper guides for this day

Secretaries Bryan and Lansing.

Mr. Lansing's successor must be a
man whose mind will 60 along with
Mr.. Wilson's, Mr.. Wilson's in the lead
The President in his correspondence
with Mr. Lansing so states.
There was no such stipulation in
the case of Mr.. Bryan. His appoint
ment to the secretaryship of state was
determined by two considerations-(D
gratitude, and (2) the necessity Of
"pulp with Congress.
Mr.. Bryan had nominated Mr.. Will
son, and been leading factor in his
election. Hence, to show his appre-
citation of the service, Mr.. Wilson
upon taking up the presidency made
Mr.. Bryan his chief adviser.
The appointment was not popular
with certain democrats, who complain
ed that Mr. Bryan had not specialized
in diplomacy or international law, and
for that reason would be misfit in
the State Department.
These men did not know, or else did
not sufficiently value the fact, that Mr..
Bryan as a member of the cabinet
would be expected to give more at
tention to domestic affairs in the shape
of legislation than to foreign affairs
in any shape. The new Congress con
tained many friends of his, who might
be expected to take his advice as to
congressional measures. And they did
! They consulted him and were guided
| by him as to the tariff and other mat
! ters. He thus was of much assistance
! to the President, who at that time was
little known to Congress.
That service performed, and the wal
having brought foreign affairs to the
fore, Mr.. Bryan found that his mind
was no longer going along with Mr.
Wilson's, and so he retired. But the
full "inside" of his differences with
<he President has never been given to
! he public. 1t is as much of a mys,
terry as is the full "inside" of Mr.
Lansing's differences with the Presi
dent.
Mr.. Lansing's appointment grew out
of his place in the State Department
at the time of Mr.. Bryan's retirement
and the fact that he had specialized in

The Lansing-Wilson Mystery.

Public curiosity as to the reason
why the President dismissed Secretary
Lansing from office is not abated by
the correspondence in the case. The
prevailing opinion is that there was
some specific cause other than Mr.. Will
sons belated discovery that cabinet
meetings were being held in his abb
RsssA cause more definite than the
keh hcfAs disagreement between the two
men on policies.
Disregarding as the real ground of
which nobody accepts as sufficient
there is a wide field of speculation,
bounded only by the known facts evil
dencing failure of Mr.. Lansing's
HitHd 20 ego along with" that of the
PfUsident. The former Secretary him
self points out the dissentient eondi-
tion, existing as early as January,
1919, in acute form. He explains
clearly why he did not take the initia-
tive and quit his office, giving reasons
wholly honorable to him and indicative
81 b spirit of sacrifice for the sake Of
ne Presidents peace of mind and
sncces Of plans.
1t b intimated that something oc-
cured to bring this unsatisfactory sit
uation to a climax. What was itf The
ssuntry should and doubtless in time
usll know. 1t is now guessing, attrib-
utang widely variant incidents as the
prscipitating cause. One is the Sec
getAry's handling of the Mexican situ-
atisn, possibly brought sharply to a
point by Ambassador Fletcher's resig-
natisn in circumstances to suggest a
eomplete agreement between the Sec
xeta1y and the ambassador.
Another is the letter of Viscount
Greg, written upon his return to Lon
don from Washington, where he had
fut1ely waited to be officially received
at 0e White House. Lord Grey did
see the Secretary Of State, however,
and It has been suggested that IRE i'm
preszion has prevailed at the White
Touse that possibly the letter of the
british representative reflected views
impressed at the State Department.
There is no way to probe the Presi-
dents mind on this subject. Mr..
lansing may throw light upon the
mystery, but he is not of a disposi-
tion to contribute to public under
stanAing in a situation of such deli
caey. He will probably maintain a
dignifed silence on the subject, until
perhaps in the course of time he writes
his own record of the years he spent
1t the head of the State Department.
But somehow, some time, the veil will
be lifted assuredly and the real rea-
son for the lamentable breach Of Off
cial relations will be given to the coun-
try. Meanwhile the incident remains
closed so far as the public is in
1ormed, and with the sentiment of the
country plainly expressed in sympathy
with Mr.. Lansing and in disapproval
Of the method of his dismissal.
