To Hon. Woodrow Wilson,
The White House.


Washington. February ), 1920.
My dear Mr.. President: 1t Is with
deep regret that feel compelled 10
resign the commission with which
you saw fit to honor me, by appoint
ing me to a place in your cabinet,
now almost seven years ago. II it
will meet, your convenience I would
suggest that l be permitted to retire
on the first of March.
With the conditions which make
this step necessary you are familiar.
have served the public for twenty
one years, and that service appeals
to mo as none other can, but 1 must
now think Of other duties.
The program of administration and
legislation looking to the develop
ment of our resources. which ! have
suggested from time'to time. is Iow
in large part in effect. or soon will
come into effect through the action Of
Congress.
return this department into your
hands with very real gratitude that
you have given me the opportunity
to know well a working force holding
so many men and women of singular
ability and rare spirit.
trust that you may soon be SO
completely restored to health that
the country and the world may have
the benefit OF the full measure of your
strength in the leadership of their
affairs. The discouragements of the
present are, l believe, only temporary.
The country knows that for America
to stand outside the league of nations
will bring neither pride to US nor
confidence to the world.
Believe me. my dear Mr.. President,
always, cordially and faithfully yours.

Rochester. MINI. January 3. 1920.
Bryan has come back. What strength
he will develop. no one can tell. He
evidently has determined that he will
not be pushed aside or disregarded. He
has been. and will continue to be as
long as he livee. a great force in our
politics. People believe that he is hon
es: and know he is sympathetic with
the moral aspirations Of the plain peo-
pie. They distrust his administrative
ability, but on the moral question
they recognize no one as having
greater authority.
hear there is talk among
the business people of setting up q
third party and nominating Hoover.
Two things the next President must
know-Europe and America, 'Euro-
pean conditions and American condi-
tions. The President of the United
States must be his own Secretary OF
State. We need administration of our
internal affairs and wise guidance
economically. Hoover can give these.
He has the knowledge and he has the
faculty. He has the confidence Of
Europe and the confidence of Amer
lea. He is not a democrat, nor is he
republican. He voted for Wilson,
for Roosevelt and Mckinley. But he
is sane. progressive. competent. The
women are strong for him and there
are fifteen million of them who will
vote this year. 1t would not sur
prise me to see him nominated on
either ticket. and I believe ] will vote
for him now as against anybody else.
But I must quit talking politics be-
cause 1 am going out Of it entirely.

Points Out Hazards at
Pa. Ave. and L St. NV.

To the Editor Of The Star:
Let me call your attention to L
street and Pennsylvania avenue
northwest, intersecting 25th street,
one Of the most dangerous crossings
in the city.
Automobiles coming from Virginia
and Maryland in the morning pay no
attention to traffic rules. but crowd
the people waiting to board the car
between the cars and a stream of
automobiles.
Unfortunately, the car stop is SO
placed that a person boarding the
car is compelled to sand in the direct
line Of traffic on l. street and Penn
sylvania avenue. or remain on the
sidewalk. thus missing the car. as
conductors at this point and many
other car stops In the city, do no,
hold the cars long enough for Il person
10 walk from the sidewalk to the car
track.
II L street were made one-way
street and a safety space marked for
pedestrians at The car stop, the dam
ger would be greatly lessened.

The Present Line-Up and 1924.

Speculation as to how the country
is drifting politically, with reference
to the prospect Tor 1924. has been
started by the returns from the bal
loting on Tuesday, which showed a
decided democratic reaction. away
from the tremendous republican ma,
jority cast in 1920. 1t Is possible to
reach from those returns the conclu.
sion that the chances now favor
either democratic or republican sue.
cess in the fight for the presidency
two years hence.
Any calculation upon the prospective
electoral votes of the states In 1924
hased upon the way they voted Tues
Gay must start from the present ap.
portionment. 1t is not, however, likely
that that apportionment will stand as
tho basis of the 1894 election. The
present Congress was expected to
enact a new apportionment law, but
has thus far failed to do SO. The next
Congress may be expected to enact
the law. which the census taken in
ICSV was Colol1IuIkOIbAhy pIcoCilUcU u
govern. Until such an apportionment
act Is passed all computations for
1924 must remain upon the old scale
OF state votes.
One guide to such computation is
the division Of the parties in the next
House. AS The Star noted yesterday,
the republicans have control Of TWEEN.
ty.four state delegations. the demo-
Gratis Of twenty, and four are evenly
divided. 1t Is not safe to accredit as
o republican prospect every state that
on Tuesday elected Q delegation pre-.
ponderantly republican, for in some of
those states democratic senators or
governors were elected. Similarly. in
the evenly divided states. as to House
representation, other factors indicated
either republican or democratic drift
to indicate a preponderance.
Giving the fullest weight to every
factor, it would seem upon an exam
ination of the results. for House. Sen.
ate and state offices combined. that the
following states may be for the isnme.

To Admiral Cary Graysor:


Washington. January ). 1920.
My dear Admiral: AS you know. l
am contemplating resigning. 1t has
been my purpose to wait until such
time as the President was we'll enough
to see me and talk the matter over
with him. 1 understand from Mr..
Tumulty that the President is pre-
pared to name my successor, and that
1t would not in any way add to his
embarrassment to fill my place in the
immediate future. would like to
know II this is the fact. for my course
will be shaped accordingly. Two
years ago l had an offer of $50.00o a
year which put aside because
thought it my duty to stay while
the war was on. When Mr.. Nc
Adoo resigned. this offer was re-
newed. but I then thought that I
should await the conclusion Of formal
peace. which all expected would come
soon. While the President was west,
I promised that l would take the mat
ter up with him on his return. and
since then l have been waiting for
his return to strength. I need not
tell you that I am delighted to know
that he is in such condition now as to
turn to matters that in the best of
health are yexatious. If this is the
fact.
My sole reason for res;gning is
that I feel that l am entitled to have
assurance as to the future Of my
family and myself. I have been in
public life twenty-one years and have
less than nothing in the way Of pri-
vate means And having given
the better part of my life to the pub
lie. feel that must now regard the
interest Of those dependent upon me.
wish you would be perfectly frank
with me, for I would do nothing that
with your knowledge you would think
would make against the welfare of
our chief.

SHOOTING STARS.

By PHlLANDER JOHNSON.
Entrances and Exits.
The populace In days gone by
To feeling gave expression
By raising many a torch on high
And holding a procession.
A statesman finds official bliss,
Then sewers his connections;
And many who come in at this
Go out at next election.
And 50, amid the public cheers
For scenes that vary greatly,
The old procession still appears,
Though moving more sedately.
