Weekly Thought: At political con-
vention men may shout until they are
red in the face and cheer and march
and howl until the steel beams tremole
and be uncriticised and considered sane;
but if they shout amen" in a revlval
service they are criticised on every side'
and considered too emotional. It ap-
pears to us that little more enthusiasm
in religion and little less in politics
would be good thing for our country
right now.

Washington. Feb 26.-Bainbridgs
Colby, who is an independent in pol
tiles, with Democratic leanings, has
been appointed secretary of state by
President. Wilson to succeed Robert
Lansing. The appointment came as
great surprise to Washington officials
and politicians who had expected the
President to name strong Democrat
to the post of ranking cabinet officer.
Colby was one of group OF nine
Progressives who in 1915 insisted on
the nomination of Colonel Theodore
Roosevelt by the Progressves. After
the nomination of Hughes by the Re
publicans, Roosevelt wired the Pro
gressive convention urging that the
former Supreme Court justice be in
dorsed. A resolution to this effect
was introduced in the convention
Colby fought it vigorously, still de-
manding the nomination of Roosevelt
When the convention voted against
him he refused to accept Hughes and
Joined the Democrats in support OF
Wilson.
The first hint of Colby's appoint
ment came few minutes before the
formal announcement by Secretary
Tumulty. The early reports that he
would get the place were not gener'
ally credited. Following the announce
ment of the appointment Colby ap
peared at the White House and wal
taken to see President Wilson.
Colby is a lawyer. His home is il
