WASHINGTON, Feb. 14-Official
Washington is apparently bewildered
by the sudden resignation of Secretary
Lansing at the request Of President
Wilson, who charged that the ranking
cabinet member tried to assume presi-
Dental prerogative.
There is talk of possibility of the
resignat tion affecting the league of ma
tions battle, while a congressional
probe at which the fun story of the
difference between Wilson and I.ans-
ing will be aired and possibility of
resignation of other cabinet members
are some of~the things being discussed
privately.
Bitter letters Exchanged
Administration officials and CON
gressmen however are avoiding any
public utterance until they have nore
time to. consider the resignation. and
events leading to it.
The resignation of Lansing was an
nounced at the state department late
yesterday. following an exchange or
letters passing between Lansing aud
Wilson. In the course OF the letters
the president charged that lansing
by summoning the cabinet during VIII
sons illness virtually tried to assume
presidential authority.
Follows Clashes
The bitter exchange of letters recalls
numerous rumors that Lansing would
resign. During the treaty fight. it was
charged and never denied, that IanS-
ing expressed opposition to the treaty
in private. Later it was rumored Will
son strongly disapproved of Lansing's
Mexican policy, when Lansing indicat-
ad hea holfQx-ad in, sfiffpr attitude to-
ward Mexico.
All foreign governments with which
the United States has relations have
been notified of the resignation OF
Lansing and the fact that Under-Sec-
retary Polk Is acting as secretary.

WOMAN CANDIDATE ADDRESSES
PIOCHE VOTERS ON MONDAY

Miss Anne Martin, Independent can
didate for United States senator. spoke
at an opsa air meeting in F.oche Mon
day evening. Miss Martin declared
herself opposed to the League Of Ma
lions in it's present form, contending
that it serves not to end but to breed
war. She did not consider this the
main question before the people, how
ever, but asserted that the chief issue
is ways of reducing the high cost of
living and freeing the people from the
domination of protiteers. To accom-
plish this she urged the government
ownership of all transportation facili-
ties, government control of the meat
packing industry and government re-
tention and development of publicly
owned natural resources,
Taxation of the $1,000 alleged mil !.
lionaires created out of war profits to
and thus tighten the burdens now
placed upon the people was also ia
vored by Miss Martin.
In expressing the belief that women
are needed in congress Miss Martin
| called attention to the fact that more
| than $47,00O,000 is appropriated annu-
| ally for animal husbandry," while no
serious consideration is given to bill
introduced in the last congress grant
| ing a comparatively small appropria-
| ton to help save thousands of mothers
and infants who die every year in the
United States from preventable causes.
Women would fight for such legisla-
ton as this, she contends, and secure

Farmers coming into Phoebe on bust
ness tell US the boys are actually go-
Ing back 10 the farm: that the much
talked-of back to the farm" move
ment has set in. And the labor bu-
reaa OF the United States SHOWS the
rural labor shortage is now but Is Per
cent. against Is per cent few months
ago.
IL Is due TO the fact that there has
been sort OF slowing down in the In
dustries. In several sections the mills
and factories have been gradually re-
ducing their forces. and as they had
drawn their labor from the farms the
laborers naturally returned to the
farms. One great tire manufacturing
concern which not long ago had agents
going through the country inducing
boys to give up their work on the farm
and go TO the city has lately dis
charged $4,000 employees and practical
iy all of them have returned To their
homes
But the main thing that has sent the
boys back to the farm is the increased
wages That Is the thing. in fact. that
must always regulate farm labor--the
wage. When farm hands were paid
I se5 or $3o a month and factories in the
cities were paying IS a day the farm
could not hold labor. But with farm
/ wages advanced to $50 and SIS a month
! fellow finds that at the end of the
J year he has more money than he would
+ have in the city, and he is going to
seek a job on the farm. 1t is simply
a process which keeps everything
4 properly balanced. and it can be but a
short time now until the factories will
h have reduced their forces to normal
and the farmer will have his greatest
problem solved-how to get the farm
labor he needs and must have.
What's the use in waiting until the
rains of fall set in to put in repair
those places in the streets of Phoebe
that we know are going to be a nus
sance little later on. What is the
use in letting this good weather go

tage, to do jobs we know must be
