Secretaries of State From Bayard Down

FWIL.so,N's administration ha.
 WV had more than its share of :.cabinet changes, but not many presi- dents had friction with their secre-
 taries of state. Mir. Wilson is one
 of the few. Of course, MT. Bryan 1was impossible, and MT. Lansing ghad strong views and was assertive sof them.
 Grover Cleveland had as his Sec
 retary of State Thomas F. Bayard, United States senator from Della . ware. He was one of the greatest -statesmen in that body, at that time gcomposed of transcendent talent The President and his Secretary of state worked in perfect harmony dur ing the entire four years.
 When Benjamin Harrison sue ' ceeded Cleveland, James G. Blaine -accepted the state department port folio. Harrison was an eminent law
 yer and statesman of the first rank, 7 and Blaine was brilliant diploma { tist and high-spirited leader. Har-
 rison was imperious, and it might : have been thouhgt that he and
 Blaine would have fallen out" but not SO. The Secretary of State in- tended being candidate for the re- < publican nomination for the presi- : dency in 1888 against Harrison, and

Failed To Get Names.

''If women office holders are going to transact the publics business the way some of the census enumerators performed their duties. I'm not in favor of votes for women, said O. l.. Casey, who operates a large boarding house at 2112 Fifth avenue.
 Out of 29 people in my house, only five were enumerated although I car ried questionaires myself to my lodgers and asked them to write down the in formation wanted. A number of blanks were properly filled out and left at the house for woman enumerator to call and get later. She came back one afternoon about dark. My wife was sick but told her if she would go up- stairs she would find the questionaires filled out The woman said she didn't have time, as she had to go all the way out to Bessemer and cook her husbands supper With that she went away and we haven't seen her since.
 T believe it the duty of every citizen to help make the census count as ac- curate as possible, especially people who operate boarding and lodging houses. l dare say Atlanta has not overlooked any chance to make the best showing against Birmingham"

 At matter of fact, the government has made 2 mess of ownership of both ship ping and railroads The public is sorely tired of government ownership and opera ton of both railroads and shipping.

 It will take time for affairs in this country to become normal again.

 President Wilson has assumed more power than any other man who has oc- cupied the White House in the history Of the American government.
 As long as he was in perfect health he was both genius and statesman. His correspondence with the German govern ment preceding the signing of the armi- stice exhibited his real genius and his statesmanship His courage and his-eom nonsense brought the worlds war to a close long before the military experts contemplated such action on the part of Germany.
 The President. however. undertook too much in going to the peace conference in Paris And he further attempted that which the physical strength of few men would stand. in his speech-making tour of the country thereafter
 His health was completely shattered He was for long time both physically and mentally unable to undertake the duties which he had assumed. Unfor- tunately his medical and other advisers did not insist upon temporary retire ment :

 President Wilson had clashed with Sec- retary of State Lansing in Paris. The two men were not in accord on the treaty and the League of Nations proposals. Secretary Lansing evidently had de- termined to- resign last fall. But the Presidents physical condition prevented it. He feared criticism in resigning under the circumstances. Lansing had been trained in the school of diplomacy. He
