The New Secretary of State.

President Wilson'S selection of Sec
retary of State to succeed Mr.. Ian sin {
is surprise. Bainbridge Colby is 4
recent arrival in the dem oc ratio ranks
Originally a republican, he joined in
the Roosevelt revolt Of 1919 and ~as
one of the organizers and most active
promoters of the progressive party in
that campaign. In 1916, however, he
refused to return to the regular repub-
lican ranks and supported Mr.. Wilson
for reelection, making speeches in his
behalf. When the Pfesident sought
for men to organize his war time ad-
ministration he named Mr.. Colby as
q member Of the Shipping Board and
later assigned him to duty with the
Fleet Corporation. For some time he
has been back in private life, in tie
practice Of law in New York.
Mr. Colby's selection is not explain ed
on grounds Of especial experience or
demonstrated capacity in Il, matter
of foreign relations. 1t must be taken
for granted that his mind "soes along
with" that of the President in gen
eral, and presumably in partieula r
with reference to matters now pend
ing. If this is the ease the adm in is
tration Of the foreign relations viii be
harm onious.
As to possible political motive for
this selection the gossips will natural
" be inspired to speculation. 1t il
inevitable that choice 80 unexpected
should, in the absence of some pArtieu-
lar qualification, be attributed to con-
siderations bearing on the campaign
now making headway.

Labor's Railroad Campaign.

| Organized labor IS eommanded from
! headquarters" to work during the
, comin campaign for the election of a
Congress that will favor the national-
zation of the railroads. The union work
ers are urged to throw themselves into
! the fight, for nominations and elections
with that purpose primarily in view.
regardless of party. There will be NO
definite partisan alignment. no new or
2anization, but a general drive
against candidates who have shown
their opposition to federal ownership
and in favor of men-or women-whO
have manifested friendliness to that
policy.
Thus. whatever may be the declsrs-
tions by the political parties at Chi
cago and San Francisco, governm ent
ownership is certain to be an issue in
the campaign. The attitude of labor
may cause one of the parties, possibly
both. to take position on the subject.
Public declarations by individual can
didates will doubtless be sought in
any ease. If labor works out its pro-
gram as it is framed at present, no
man will 20 without scrutiny on this
point.
Meanwhile the public interest cen
tiers chiefly upon the question Of
whether or not there will be a strike
following the return of the roads to
their owners. Such a strike. develop
ing from failure to grant demands as
to wages during the period Of read
justment, would be- disastrous to the
country, entailing an enormous loss
and a most serious dislocation Of all
industry 1t would, at the same time.
play large part in the campaign. 1t
would be bad move politically, for
the advocates Of government owner
ship.
Vt is understood that this view, that
a >trike pending election would be 4
mistake, prevails sufficiently in the
higher circles of unionism TO les
sen greatly the chances Of strike.
That it would tend to solidify opposi-
ton is recognized. It would prevent
fair test of public sentiment on the
liberalization issue. It would prob.
ably react strongly against that cause
and compel many candidates who might
otherwise feel inclined from conviction
or from motives Of political security
to declare for public ownership, to
stand against that policy.
This matter of drive against eer-
tain candidates has its perils for its
promoters. They may conduct a mega
tive campaign without getting any
where positively. They may prevent
the election Of certain men to Con-
gress, but they may not be able to
elect Congress pledged to govern
ment ownership, thus leaving the ques-
tion in allegiance. That is the handi-
cap Of the interparty campaign Of re
prisal. 1t is not constructive, but
chiefly destructive. In any case, def
mite warning has been given. Nomina-
lions will be made in the full light
of the declaration of organized labor
and everybody will be under observa-
ton. As to the result Of the test Of
strength NO man can now safely essay
prediction.

America and Her Institutions.
This is from Salem. Ore:


United States Senator George +.
hamberlain filed today with the see
retary of state here his declaration of
candidacy for re e-election. The slogan
which he asks to have printed after
his name on the ballot is. NY country,
its preservation and the perpetuation
unimpaired of its institutions.
An excellent slogan-the very best
and worthy of adoption by every can
didats for Office this year.
The record of its author gives il EN-
phasis. In Office he has lived up to it.
Two years ago. when the War De
partment was plainly not funetioning
satisfactorily, Mr. Chamberlain. then
at the head Of the military committee
Of the Senate, called attention to the
situation, and asked for speeding up
of departmental activities.
He was criticised for his course, the
President himself contributing. But
the senator, certain of his facts and
Of his motive in calling attention to
them, stood his ground. He was a
democrat, and the admin istration was
democratic, but as the country,s inter
csts were involved he could see his
duty only in patriotic and not in 4
partisan light.
The investigation thus forced sus-
tanned the alterations and proved ex-
reedingly helpful to the country. War
activities were speeded up and given
the right direction. The Oregon sena-
tor had performed an important pub
lie service.
This is the spirit that should rule
now. Men are seeking office as demo
Gratis or republicans, and those who
succeed will be expected as officials
to redeem all partisan promises and
obligations. But if at any time inter
ests arise that are higher than party,
they will also be expected to reeog-
nize those interests and provide for
them. America first. e
Let every candidate pledge himself
to the perpetuation unimpaired Of
American institutions. They are not
perfect. They would not be workable
if they were. Devised BY human be-
inss for human beings, and conducted
by human beings, they have the hmi-
tations Of their origin and the defects
Of their administration.
But for all that, they are the best in
the business anywhere ON earth. While
the institutions of some countries have
been brought to the ground with
smash, and those Of others, though
still standing, are shaky, ours are
holding mp well Let us support them
loyalty a against all enemies, foreign
or domestic.
There are enemies Of both kinds, and
, they are amazingly brazen in their
proclamations. Their purpose is to
scrap the Constitution, which they hold
has outived its usefulness, and or
ganize government on different plan.
They are not numerous at present, but
very noisy and industrious, and on
that account none Of their maneuvers
should be overlooked. Men holding Of
flee a. we'll as those seeking Office
should be on guard against them.

But the donkey sought, With pride

To make the pace with his hind feet.
