Emmons County record. [volume] (Williamsport, D.T. [i.e. N.D.]) 1884-current, 1920-02-19

The most sensational development
in national affairs for many months
was theresignation last week of Sec
rotary of State Lansing, at the re-
quest of the president.
Lansing accepted the chief position
in Wilson's cabinet when Bryan gave
up the job. Lansing has been long
in the state department. He was
taken to Paris by Wilson. We say
"taken to Paris" advisedly. While
apparently peace commission went
over to represent US, Wilson was that
commission and those he took with
him simply his agents.
Wilson's letter demanding Lansing's
resignation is one of the most inso-
lent missives yet penned by the for
mer schoolmaster. 1t has been the
custom for Wilson to throw dignity
to the winds when crossed by the
others, and to berate them most sound
ly with rhetorical bomb-shells. Lam
sings dismissal meets with much ad-
verse comment by the American peo-
pie the more because of the form it
took, and the petty reason assigned
by Wilson for the same.
AS is we'll known, the president be-
came seriously i'll in October last year,
so seriously i'll that practically no one

Dickinson.-The Dunn county COM
missioners have made arrangements
to bond the county for 100000 for
the purpose of purchasing seed and
feed for the farmers who will need
assistance this spring.
Grandin.-The local school building
was destroyed by fire last week. Ow-
ing to the careful drilling of the pupils
in the past, they were marched out of
the building without harm. The
school board carried $4,7OO worth of
fire insurance on the building.
Ray.-Many children in this city,
ranging in age from 8 to IL years,
were found forcing entrance to local
store where they were confiscating
jackknives, watches, jewelry, flash
lights, gum and candy. No punish
ment beyond a lecture was admins
tered.
POrtland.-The promising rate at
which fair managers are signing up
contracts for aerial exhibitions during
the coming summer has caused the
management of the Liberty fliers to
purchase new Thomas Morse scout
plane which will be used for exhibi-
ton purposes only.
Fargo.-About twenty-five per cent
of the landlords are charging excess
sive prices for rent, according to in
vestigations made by the Fargo rent
profiteering committee. The commit
tee will probe this matter thoroughly.
after which action will be taken to
improve conditions.
Portland.-Owing to the potato in
dustry increasing in this locality.
many of the leading growers are plan
ming an organization for the purpose
of erecting large potato warehouse.
One man remarked that had there
been warehouse here the difference
in the price receivd last fall and at
the present time would have paid
for It.
Bismarck.-Lanscape architects en-.
gagged by the state board Of admin
istratiOn have started an inspection of
the grounds of the state institutions in
Grafton and Dunseith with the view
of assigning the most appropriate
places for new buildings. J.

was allowed to see him, and far toe
ill to take any part in the affairs OF
the government. Grayson, who was
made rear admiral just because he
'appened to be the presidents per-
sonal physician, and because the pres
ident had the authority as comman
der-in-chief of the army and navy to
so appoint him, became the sole arbit-
CIR of tho nations destiny.
With several serious matters of
state at hand, Lansing was faced by
the necessity of action. Our federal
laws provided for imm ediate success
sion in case of death of the president.
But Wilson wasn't dead, though he
coul dino more handle the grave re-
sponsibilities of his Office than had
death occurred.
What did Lansing do? He did the
most sane and sensible thing that
any man could do when faced with
such responsibility. He called to-.
gether the various department heads
the cabinet each member of whom
owed his position to the president
personal choice, for conferences IN
the important subjects to be handled.
Grayson, the presidents personal rear
admiral, was present at the first meet
ing, and no sane man can believe that
the president did not know of the
meetings. Conditions were fairly met
during the many months that the
president lay helpless and unable to
fulfill the duties of his office.
Lansing at least had used his best
judgment and had done his best for
the president and for the people of
the nation. Imagine, then, what must
have been his state of mind when he
recently received communication
from the president asking him in a
course and quarrelsome manner what
Lansing meant by trying to arbitrari-
ly take over the presidents privileges,
ETC., ETC., ad. lib.
The secretary of state at once re-
piled denying any intention to secure
the ill will Of the president and that
what he had done had been done only
in support of the president and the
people, and upon advice of the other
cabinet members. Lansing further

Wilson answered this letter with a
more snappy rebuke than ever, and
with the assurance that he would be
glad to have Mr.. Lansing's resigna-
ton. He got it
10 the layman it appears that Will
son is deeply aggrieved by his fail
ure to become the dominant figure
in the present affairs Of the world
and that his sickness has made him
doubly irritable. His training through
out his life has tended to make him of
despotic character. The college
professor and the college president is
sort of law unto himself. Add
to such training a sudden catapault
to the highest political office in the
nation and it is not to be wondered
at that the feeling of self-importance
might become doubly enhanced.
If the present incumbent as presi,
dent of the United States has dreamed
that he was to occupy an unusually
high position in history, his latest &C.
lions appear to be fast dissipating
the possibility of fullfllment.
The people of America are just in
dependent enough to resent too lofty
and dictatorial manner in any one
American citizen. Wilson barely slip
ped through by the skin of his teeth
for reelection. He was elected the
first time through the assistance of
quarreling republicans.
1t should be a general relief to the
American people when the time ar
rives next year that Mr.. Wilson will
ad Eek" to his title.
