Correspondence Published.
Washington, Feb. 14.-The state
department issued the following
statement: 1 -
Secretary Lansing has resigned and
his resignation has been accepted,
taking effect yesterday. Following is
the correspondence between the
president and Secretary Lansing:
THE White House, Washington,
Feb. Z, 1920. q
my Dear Mr.. Secretary-Is 1t true,
as I have been. told, that during my
illness you have frequently called the
heads Of the executive department
If it IS, I fell it my duty to call your
attention to considerations which lido
not care to dwell upon until I learn,
from you yourself. that this is the
fact. i
Under u constitutional law and
practice, a. developed hitherto, no
one but the president has the right to
summon the heads of the executive
departments into conference, and no
one but the president and the con-
gress has the right to ask their views
or the views of any ono Of them on
any. public question. -
II take this matter UP with you
because, in the development Of every
constitutional system, custom and pre-
cedent are of the most serious con-
sequence, and I think we will all
agree in desiring not to lead in any
wrong direction. I have therefore
taken the liberty of writing you to
ISL this question, and 1 am sure you
will be glad to answer.
II am happy to learn from your
strength is returning. .sNsl & ~
Woodrow Wilson.

wise for. us to, confer informally to-
gether on inter-departmental matters,

not be postponed until your medical
advisers permitted you to pass upon
them: Accordingly, !, as the ranking
member, requested the members of
the cabinet to assemble for such IN
formal conferences: and in view Of the
mutual benefit derived the practice
was continued. I can assure you
that it never for a moment entered my
mind that I was acting unconstitution-
ally or contrary to your wishes, and
there certainly was no intention on
my part to u powers and exer-
else functions which under the con-
~stttution are exclusively confided to
the president.
During these troublouss times,
when many difficult and vexatious
questions have arisen and when, in
the circumstances, L have been de-
prived Of your guidance and ~direc-

HISTORY MERELY A LESSON
Paints Pictures Only That They May
30 an Inspiration to Future
Generations.

History does not relate for the sake
of relating; 1t does not paint for the
sake Of painting; It relates and paints
the past that 1t may be a living lesson
of the future. 1t proposes to instruct
new generations by the experience of
those who have gone before them. BY
exhibiting to them faithful picture
OF great and important events with
their causes and their effects, with
general designs and particular pas
siOns. with the faults and virtues that
are found commlngled in human
things. It teaches the excellence of
prudence, courage. and great thoughts
profoundly meditated, constantly pur-
sued, and executed with moderation
and force. It shows the vanity Of
immoderate pretenslons, the power Of
wisdom and virtue. the impotence Of
folly and crime. Thucydides, POlybius.
and Tacitus undertake anything rather
than procuring new emotions for an
idle curiosity or worn threadbare
imagination. They doubtless desire
to interest and attract. but more to
instruct; they are the avowed masters
OF statesmen and the preceptors of
mankind.-Victor Cousin.
