The story Of Stimson is as full OF

of little stories. He holds the respect
Of his acquaintances without stimulate

Quite aside from a study Of Stimson

said that Stimson as a type Is q nearly
bombproof choice for this Job.
In an era OF internal domestic pros.

called the American empire" makes
more obvious the necessity for such an
appointment.

VF THE fabric of our public life seems
at times a little thinnish in places
1t is then comforting to hope, to

Occasionally 1t happens that such q
thread ShuttleS in and out, weaving
alternately a pattern of personal ac-
compliShment and Of public achieve

We have observed such phenomenon
in the case Of Mr.. Hughes, Of Mr..
Schurman, Of Mr.. Hoover, OF Mr..

We observe its possible emergence In
the case of Mr.. Morrow.
Nowhere more glitteringly do we OBJ

then as district attorney and Republic

Even in those early days he had a
reputation for strong character-in

MISUNDERSTANDING CLEARED

The ruling by Attorney General Webb, relative to
votes for Prohibition electors next Tuesday, clears
up a point which has caused considerable misunder-
standing throughout the state.
Those who have examined the sample ballots care
fully may have noted that the top Of the first column
carries the names of Socialist electors. Following
them is the Prohibition group, and then the Republican
group.
The names of the Prohibition and Republican
electors the the former party, in state con-
venton, having endorsed the Republican slate. The
story circulated and received much credence
throughout the state that persons intending to vote
the Republican ticket and not noticing their ballots
too closely, might vote for the Prohibition electors in
the belief that they voting the Republican ticket
and thereby deprive the Republican party of their vote
Attorney General Webb has ruled that the
state convention of the Prohibition party endorsed the
complete list of Republican electors, it has complied
with the law and that therefore, votes cast for the
Prohibition electors will be counted for Mr. Hoover
The attorney general did not rule to whether
or election officials at the polls will be permitted to
advise voters of this condition election day. 1t
is we'll therefore for all to famiiarize themselves with
the sample ballots that they may know on election
day exactly how they should vote.
This much has been made clear however, Repub-
cans who may vote the Prohibition electors in the
belief that they voting their party, will not
lose anything by it.

LANSING JOINS MAJORITY

The death of Robert Lansing removes another of
those who played prominent part in Americas entry
into the World War, and whose names were household
words a decade ago.
Following the detection of William jennings
Bryan from the Wilson cabinet, Lansing appointed
secretary of state and he filled that important position
during the trying days when the United States was
waging battle of notes with Germany. That he
filled it capably none will deny.
In his official capacity Lansing framed the flrst
note of warning to Germany following her declaration
of barred zone" around England To newspaper
men he said at the time that the note of warning was
the "kindest thing one could do to Germany now
opments proved Germany ignored this and other
warnings and eventually faced the inevitable fact that
she had forced the United States into the war on the
side of the Allies thus spelling her doom.
Following the Armistice, Lansing member
of the American Peace Commission in Paris and labor
ed with Wilson in the battle of diplomats which resulted
in the Versailles treaty. In 1920 differences which
developed between him and the President became so
acute that he resigned from the cabinet.
He took up the practice of law being counsel Tor
the Chinese government and for Chile during the
Tacna-Arica arbitration discussion in 1928 and 1925.
His work for his country by means started as
secretary of state As far back the early nnetleS
he made name for himself on the Behrng Sea arbl-
tration board which settled the claims dispute between
England and the United States Later he served on
the Alaskan boundary tribunal and in other where
arbitration involved. At the time he succeeded
Bryan he was counsellor of the state department.
Considered authority international law
Lansing gave of his best to his country. His high
character and the Importance of the work he performed
so credtably, stamp him one of whom the nation
can be proud. He really deserves higher place III
the records of the country during the past forty years
than history is likely to accord him.
