THE LANSING OUSTING. More people than ever, upon hearing of the forced lesignaUoa of Robert Lansing, are askins whether

incident and widespread imui-imu uu-.m i.. mu..

the metropolitan no.wspapcrs. 1.1 Wilson in hia right roiad to force the rrs!srr.atioti of Lansing or has his arrogance so increased, because that worthy public official consulted with the cabinet at a critical juncture, that he can brook no Interference with the idea that Wilson alone, ill or well, reirns in America? Wilson's doctor haa said that the president suffered an attack of cerebral thrombosis, lie was critically ill. It was not known at large whether he would lire. What does Mr. Lansing do? H summons at a most critical period in the country's history, the cabinet to advise with him as to baffling questions or public policy. What else could he have done? Now Wilston accuses Lansing of usurping a presidential function, despite the fact that the president traa not functioning. The great autocrat at this late day, even though neither the constitution nor the government suffered any Injurr, resents Mr. Lansing's action and in fact peremtorily dismisses him. It seems to have come to pass becanse a cabinet officer in this country has a mind of his oa and expresses his opinions, off with hit head If they conflict with our czar. Perhaps it is fortunate for Mr. Lansing, Mr. Bryan, and some cf the other decapitated cabinet officials, that there is no Siberia in this country. To hades with the people and the republic has ben President Wilson's idea. What does he care about the irremediable injustice he has done a much-respected public offlclaL

EDUCATION IN NEW ARMY. Of all the changes brought about by the war none have been as great as those in .the army. As the famous old serpent remarked at the start of the war:

"All these here civilians coming in are just ruining

the army." Auc whether or not the obi sergeant was right, there has taken place a mcst marvelous change. For j ears th" army has been bound down to certain hide-bound rules and regulations. For years the progressive spirits have been advocating changeo and improvements. But since none of us looked upon the army os our army, but rather as a sort of detached, ephemeral evil, coting a hundred millicn or so a year to maintain, few of the advocated reforms could bo gotten through.

WHAT IS A COiTTRACT BETWEEN FRIENDS? Some statesman once made the classic observation, "What's the constitution among friends?"" Tn thin dny and generation the practice of ignoring constitctions. contTJccts. ordinancea .-.nd other scraps of paper has rou to a ntter of course, declares the Calumet Record. When the K. Sc E. franchise was granted by the cry council of Chicago eight or ten years ago, one i io-tl1ya was a five-cent fare within the city limits. This haa been disre-Srded between Hegewiscli and Futlmac, greatly t0 the expense of employes of local plant. East Chicagf) Industrie, including the General American Tank Car Corrioration. Standard Forgings Co., and others, are protesting against increase in fare between their city and the Pullman-Kensington district. The Interstate Commerce Commission has authorized these Increases, we understand, just as the Illinois state public utllltlen commission authorized the increase between Hpgewisch and Pullman. Local civic bodlen should join hinds to fight this iHeq:a practice. The entire Calumei region from Grand

A MUEDEEOUS GERMAN AUTOCRAT.Among the Germans whose extradition is demanded by the allies is Daron von der Lancken, former military governor of Hrussels. He is accused of responsibility for the unwarranted executions of Edith Cavell and Capt. Fryatt. Brand Whitlock and Hugh Gibson, in their notable records of life in Brussels under the brutal German regime, have given us a realistic picture of Baron von der Lancken, the typical Prussian military autocrat, brusque, domineering, contemptuous of civilians, exponent of kultur and all that it implies. His avowed object in the governing of the Brussels district was to inspire fear in the hearts of the Belgians, lie felt that he wa restrained by no law, that he could be a law unto himself, and that the greater the cruelty be displayed the more he would commend himself to his imperial master. When he assumed charge of affairs in Brussels our nation was not in the war. Minister Whitlock in accordance with custom was entrusted with the interest of Great Britain, among other nations. But he was treated by the German governor as if he possessed no official standing whatever. His protests in the cases of Miss Cavell and Capt. Fryatt were given no consideration, although he merely asked for delay in carrying out the sentences until evidence he was obtaining could be presented. As usual von der I-ancker proceeded on the principle that might makes right. It. seemed as if he desired deliberately to affront, not on'y our nation, but the opinion of the entire civilized world in carrying out these executions without opportunity for a fair hearing. The right punishment for this murderou3 German autocrat would be a lesson in the vindication of the international law upon which our civilization rests.

PERHAPS the putting of the brand of Cain on the brows of the Hun war lords would be generally satisfactory as punishment for their crimes acainst civilization.

AMERICAN PRIVATES in CoMenz. as a result of exchange rate-, now are paid 0.000 marks a month as the equivalent of their J SO pay, which is more than high German officers get. Well, they proved that they are worth more.

THE AVERAGE MAN says he's just old-fashioned enough to think that when folks are uncontrollably anxious to get sonvjwhere, thT don't spend half a day hunting up an aeroplane.
