Probable Real and Most Aggravating Reason Why Robert Lansing Quit State Department

ANTI-ArMINlRTRATION" approval of everything that Feey Lan?!ng ever did. now that he has brok-n with Tre-Vt Wilson, or the prjIdent with him, and especially since he Is out cf th cabinet by th president's request. I to bo expertoL Time. hower'T, we anticipate, will t!l a different story of the whys and whrc fore, and history pars h bttr judgment on the affair than such P art 1: win ship, ruperlnduced by personal hate, can b expected to et this close ramro to render. A clo?fl perusal of the correspondence passed between the president ar.d the . ccretary, incident to the letter's resignation, fhows plain enough that there Is more between th line than In thorn: fhlrr that th correspondents thems'-lvrs may unrFtand, after th habit of diplomatic interpretation, but concealed, from th i uhltc, rr.ayhap, for diplomatic reasons. In thi there Im at las-t prov irr.ptlve .vider.ee, that th'- cabinet conferences rnl!d by Sec'y Ivinslng, though they may have resulted In the formation of Intcr-departmental polic'.'.a that th rx"utjv does not approve of, are excuses rather thd.n the reason for what has taken p!C. It "will be rralled that during tho time of the r?nl Htri'K. and sirr ultaneously that renewed outl reale In the !nat demanding war with Mexico, thlnr did happen end there- was International Corres on flen-ee wh!h led certain senators to surmlse from the floor that !hi presidential mind was rot functioning; that In his U!nes things were being done without his knowledge, yet under his apparent authority, and a committee was even npi.olrit! to visit th white nous nnd a sc rtair. whether th exeeratlve was capable of attending tr. tmrinenn. It his been rumored that the coal injunctions wer an emanation from thos- meeting nr.d not by any order of tho president; likewise That thry were responsible for the break between rh prfdd6nt and Fuel Administrator Garfield. W'c flo not know, ar.d may never know, how many things the cabinet did, under J.ec'y Ijanslng's domination, but plainly enoueh there was more than this to have aggravated the president into Indulging Ills apparently todden action. There wtw th? TarLs conference, reference to vhlch Is ttifidi In the correspondence, and thoo not now so short-memcrled ns to want to forget, may remember how Fecy Ianslnsr, anI not only Pec 7 Laneing but Col. House, cooperated with Viscount lrey while, the president was home, last rh.-uary, to overthrow all th' work that had boon done during January succumbing to the lnpcruity f the wily Britisher whoso diplomatic habit of r.trljcue. Indulgence In secret alliances, balances of power, spheres of Influence, preferential tariffs, etc., had mad him an adept; an adept who, having .'riven Germany to lbs madness, there while pre--Tiding friendship for a League of Nations wanted i: made- toothless, go as not to Interfere with the ictofs spoils. It need not be. surprising should time dl-sclose that the real reason for th open break between the president and secretary of rtate, hinges somewhereupon Viscount Grey's statement with reference to European willingness to acxrefct the Lodge reservations to the !Learu of Nations covenant. It was an unusual interferenceor diplomatic suggestion calculated to influence the internal affairs of the nation, indulged by an ambassador accredited and recelwxl as such, this not withstanding hli return to his homeland before giving expression to his views. It wa no less reprehensible than many of the things that have been charged against Count von Hornstorf?, and should It transpire that upon observing the viscount's misconduct, the president took matters Into his cm hands and communicated with London, learning that his secretary of state bad amln been cooperating with the Britisher, ll might explain what is meant in the correspondence about the secretary a-ssumlng attitudes in our foreign relations, known by him to be antagonistic to th executive's wishes. Billy Bullitt, who drank vodka and ate musty bread with Lenlne and Trotzky, paid when before the foreign relations committee, that S c'y Lansing had told him In Pnrts that he was opposed to th League covenant, as th conference had finally framed It. and that If the people of the United States knew Its terms, they would never accept it. If this be true. It is circumstantial evidence at least; plainly enough th secretary was In a frame of mind to want Europe to accept the emasculating reservations, and though wanting some sort of Ieaxue of Nations, not carlncr particularly for this particular one, very agrerable to Viscount Grey's prrnunclamento. Thus the references to the Tarl conference, tho way Sec'y Lansing and Wcnunt Grey worked together against the president In numerous ways, toKether with the viscount's brief mission in Washington while the president was ill. and whi'e the ecretary was presuming to rxercie somewhat the functions of chief executive, is sutf.cient to create tspielen. and. the suspicion that perhaps the president knows more than he has told. The !r;ht beirun In Paris under the Grej--Iarsinc combination, to make the peace rather a peace for th- selfish victors, than a pea-e to maintain peace for which V, COO. 000 men had just bled and died. may hav--Jn resurrected in Va5hinct0n though th- f:rs: vur. was fired 1:1 London. It is dancer. u bu.-lr.,,s to l'e to the r. '.s-s of mar.V !r.d thro':k":; t h wc-r!d ove" :."'. .0-'1 i: .-U urax- .tr.d t!:.t ihe l":;it-d s:.ti s v v;;ld r.ot, ;nd

and this opinion is valuable If for no other reason than that It will asur every republican at ence, that Homert Lansing Is the man for the democrats to nominate for th presidency. If will forthwith be the republican candidate for the demoratic ticket.

THE TEACHER'S WAGE INCREASE. TUn board of eduraticn. borrowing the taor.ey from n-xt year, in practical effect . has ;nrreased t!ie salaries of a 1 t'-acher in th public schoo!. Those with salaries cf less than $120 per month r-et an ir.. r.ie rf $1", and tliose witli salaries above $12 0 per month. an increas- oT $1. In r.r.br to r:et the money, th" teachers must, take this Iu't.h.' in a lump, nt the cloe of the school 'ear. A new sch-iu!e for i:et year'.-j üiLt' is :.'. a r.v.hi'e to b. arran'd. After thi.- inai;nr the t-achTs are gttii. at V-a-t a goodly portion of what they went ;;lter; we think, without doubt the U-t that th" school board could do. It lias been aooorupll.-hcd too without any of th" radual disturbance that was throatrr'd at the time th iienirtnds were made. Also, incident to the agitation, we hope the teachers have acquired tome consciousness of the fact that h-y have contracts with the school bo.krd, and. that tho:-'-1 c.f them who rncw the contracts for next year, un-ba- the new s-chluler,. will do so with the understanding that it is a contract on their part as well as on the part of the board. We are j leaded to have them pot the rais. V" anticipate, that, perhaps, our attitude in the matter, encouraging level-headedness on' tluir part, an.l some respect for tho American ideals which thw are expected to exemplify in tho- schools-, did as much to help them get it as though wo had taken to riding the board of education just to mollycoddle the teachers, thus making it embarrassing as r OS for the board to 'xecute their wish. Things can be done decently and In good order when it is ritjhtly Kone about. That is the way the school hoard did It. With the Chamber of Commerce, the Ilotary, KiwanJs and University clubs recommending thrt the increase be arranged if possible, we hope row that the $117,000 that it takes out of next year's supply of fundus will not exeito rritism from these same sources, when political expediency may srem to warrant it. It would seem that with these recommendations of civic bodies at hand, the school board might rightly consider itself justified in the slight juggling of funds that the wage increase has necessitated but it remains to be Keen how well those recommending It po anxiously, will continue to stick. The teachers, with this increase, are getting now. so far as that is concerned, no more than they should hav been getting for years; tho present high cost of living, etc.. notwithstanding. A salary of $100 a month should bo the minimum for teaching in the schools of iouth Bend. Oh yes, Mr. Taxrayer, you may kick, but It Is your salvation. The slrls that put the most of the brains In your children's heads are performing a service more valuable than a domestic, and when next year's schedules are prepared, prantinfr a further Increase, may they stay up there forever; may they never come down.

NO STRIKE NOW. OHGAN'IZKI) labor, whether from a sense of public spirit and right, or stung by the national wave of resentment against the threat of the railroad nun to strike at this time has again moved to Its own rescue, acting nobly. The conference with the president appears to have averted such a consummation. It may be that the railroads have their grievances, but It Is not conceded thai those grievances could Justify the tying up of American transportation here In mid-winter, complicatingp. situation already too complicated Just when th - lines are in rrocess of transition from the government back to their owners. The railroad employes have their "rights;" but so have the ra'broad owners and operators, and so, emphatically, has the public. ' The government, whatever its sins of commission or omission, has a right not to be burdened by such a tie-up In the short period remaining in which it must make the transition from public to private operation. Congress has a right not to have its consideration of tho new railroad bill, which has been an arduous task and is vital for the future of American transportation, confused by such a crisis. The public, weary of strikes and not fully recovered from the coal strike, has a right to a little respite from industrial burden and confusion. In fairness to everybody, the employes should wait until the roads have been transferred, and then, next month, bring their grievances before the new tribunal wMch the forthcoming railroad law will set up tor that purpose. There Is no reason v hy the employes should refuse to do this. If assurance Is given of prompt and just action. Had they refused, nnd chose deliberately to precipitate a catastrophic strike, th're would be nothing left for the railroads and the mtion to do but see the matter through, and settle once for all the question whether 2. nCv. 000 employes in any Industry' shall dominate 110.000,000 people.

The Boom In Marriage By Helen Rowland

Through The Widow's Lorgnette

"I predict." said the Widow, looking as w ise as a person with an impertinent retrous.i nose can look," "that there is going to be a wonderful boom in the marriage market!" "No!" exclaimed the Rachelor, with a glanee of alarm. "Why? lias the crop of leap-year engagements been so phenomenal?'' The Widow- nodded affirmatively. "And besides." she remarked, "a man has to have somewhere to go, evenings!" "There is still the club." suggested the IJachelor with faint hope. "A little oasU that will pass out of existence. a.s soon as the lockers are all emptied." the Widow prophesied, heartlessly, "Just now, the stolen Joys of the 'reserve stock may add a spice and piquancy to your club: but even a bachelor's prescience must tell him. that it won't last forever." "And that the waters of Prohibition will soon wash our ono heaven nice and clean and 'dry.'." srroaned the Bachelor with a wry face. "Oh, well, there Is still the quiet little gam of pool and the poker party, and the cabaret, and all the theaters are still running. And there are still lots and lots of nice girls to call on and flirt with and " That's Just what I mean!" hurst in the Widow with a malicious gurgle of delight. "Lots and lota of nice girls will find prohibition a miraculous boon a blessing in disguise a first aid to matrimony! Ixts and lots of nice girls who used to sit at home doing tatting and

wondering if Prince Charming ever would come riding by, will suddenly find themselves floating on a wave

of popularity, completely surrounded by Princes Charming, or walking up the white ribboned aisle " "What on earth are you talking about?" interrupted the Bachelor Impatiently." "I hate to shatter your last hope," cooed the Widow. "But do you really think men will enjoy sitting up all night losing mo,ney at pool or poker, without without the 'fortifications' and and libations, which once sustained them? Poof!" and she snapped her glittering Angers. "Those silly old games were only a ?ort of excuse, anyhow!" "An 'excuse for what?" demanded tho Bachelor, in blank amazement. "Oh, for staying out late, and taking too much to too much stimulant, and acquiring headaches, and going to the office next morning feeling like like " "Like twins!" sighed the Bachelor remlniscently, "but the cabarets!" he pleaded, "please leave us the lovely cabarets!" The Widow shook her hear and laughed. "Do you suppose," she replied, "that the 'cabaret beauties' will really seem beautiful and fascinating to a nan, when he isn't looking at them through a rosy haze and the bottom of a wine glass? Men will at last be able to see straight, when they look at women! That's the lovely thing about Prohibition." "What's 'lovely' about Prohibition?" protested the "bachelor, bitterly. "The fact that a man will be able to see a girl as she really is and that a jrirl will, at last, be able to see a man a.s he really ought to be!" "Ye gods." exclaimed the Bachelor. "You don't imagine that will

be a "irst aid to ran tri men y.' do you? It's not wh.tt a man Uuov.s about a woman, but what d.sa't know, tint f.vscinates him." "A man won't talk so much swer sentimental nonsense a he used to "sighed the Widow a little rejrret

fully, "but, at least, a girl will knowthat he means fully half of what he does say and that it's love or dalliance or sentiment, and not wine, that Is making 'the world go 'round.' And she'll know just howmuch cf his brilliancy Is real wit and how- much of It was stimulant, and how much of his extravagance is generosity, and how much id folly"

"Hola, hola. hola!" crycth the reformer. "Consider the shocking fashions of women! For each fad is more freakish than that which preceded it, and every one more foolish than that which went before. "And all is forwardness and folly and vanity and pneumonia! "Lo, evening gowns are sleeveless and backless and almost skirtless, and the bathing suit is but "a scrap of paper." , "Vamps have passed away, and sirens are no more, and the flapper and tho baby doll shall soon followafter them. "And what will women do next!" But I say unto you, my daughter, no woman knoweth what she will do next. For she knoweth not what men will demand of her! Behold, men said: "We are weary of the bread-and-butter damsel in muslin and blue ribbons. And the 'sweet young thing' that quotcth Harold Bell Wright and sinpeth 'The Rosary is aa a constant diet of breakfast food! "Give us. women of understanding and experience and a little spice!" And lo, all the women hearkened. And straightway, they donned long ear rings and rice powder and sinuous draperies and sophisticated ways, and became show girls and Loreleis and "vampires" and Kitty Gordons. And the men were at first rejoiced; but, seeing them all alike,

"And some nice, moonlight niht. you'll break through all the thick layers of resistance and barbed-wir entrenchments that now surround what you call your heart and tind yourself proposing to her!" tinished the Widow triumphantly. The Bachelor groaned. "I know it!" he muttered, "1 know it! Who started all this prohibition thing, anyhow? I'll bet it was a woman!" "Oh it will 1" the best tiling in the world for you!" th' Widow assart. 1 him cbe. ringly. "It will mak you think twice before you marry once !

Marriage will be much safer and saner am hapider ind divoree will probably become obsolete!" "And engagements will grow or Christmas trees, and fortunes will drop from airplanes, and marriage certificates wifl be given away with each cup of tea. and it will rain kisses and wedding rings, and lollipops! The woman's idea of the millennium!" scoffed the Bachelor, bitterly. "Yes!" bubbled the Widow, "Prohibition is the knell of that cynical soul, 'the confirmed bachelor,' who thought he could pass up love, and drown his memories in a wine glass! There's going to be a wonderful boom in tho marriage markf.t and Ilyman will get you if you don't watch out!"

they soon alckened and yearned fr something "wholesome and kittenish and full of youth and innocence." And again, all the women hearkened. And straightway they bobbed their hair und cut off their clinging skirts and became squabs and flappers, and "cute young things." And Mary Pickford. herself, could not out-ingenue them! And Irene Castle were not more piquante! But the orft of tho squab and the reign of the baby doll have passed: and when men cry. "Next!" women will do whatsoever they ask of her, whether it be to shave her head or to wear a ring-in-the-nose for man's delight! For, every woman, in her time, playeth many parts, and a stock actress is not more versatile! Verily, verily, so long as men demand a continuous vaudeville show, women shall never cease to be lightning-change artists and milliner's mannikins, tripping to the tune of the fashion arbiters. So long as men continue to prefer a bird-of-paradise to a wren preachers and prophets and health experts shall expostulate in vain! For the curse of woman is not vanity, but humility. And her consuming desire is to appear beautiful in the eyes of her beloved. Go to! Fashion is a monster which devoureth a woman's soul! But masculine caprice grew this thing and we can prove it!
