We ‘gather from President Wilson’s letters to Mr. Lansing that the secretary of state, denied an audience with the President, and feeling that cer- tain matters demanded the attention of the Pr esi-| dent’s cabinci, valled that body together for certain | informal conferences. Mr. Lansing assured Mr, ‘Wilson that he (Mr. Lansing) did not act in this ‘manrer with any purpose of usurping the powers ‘and prerosatives of the President, but rather with the s¢ es vey of safeguarding the President's administr:* Mr, La.. ing assures Mr. Wilson that he (Mr. ‘Lansing’ never for a moment thought! that he ‘was acti; z unconstitutionally or ‘contrary to the ‘wishes of the President in presuming to function vas he, in the capacity of ranking officer of the ‘cabinet, hed precetent for doing. There may be ..:ncthing much deeper and more ‘serious .. the diilerences between President Wil- ‘son and ecretary Lansing than appears on the ‘surface vi their correspondence, but in any event ‘President Wilson has once more proven himself ‘handicapped bv a single-track mind, and he has ‘further strengthened the opinion of the public :that he is a poor judge or a poor manager'of men. « Of President Wilson’s original cabinet we have :left Postmaster Genera] Burleson and Secretary ‘year when few farmers are in a position. to know +of the Navy Daniels.

STATE HAIL INSURANCE The Crurier-? ows, anxious to distract atten- tion fro. ‘he L.»k of North Dakota and the Hom~ i Buildin’ sociation fiascoes, asks editorially why ~ oppor... of Sovietism do not attack the state © hail iiwcrance plan. The answer might be that © the fauli: of the hail insurance system are too obyisus. They are admitted, to some extent, even + by Commissioner Olsross, entrusted with the op- {eration of the act, but who does not appear to { have been given’as much of a voice in the fram- ing of the law a: vere some of Townley’s imported experts.

McAdoo, ‘the’ | pee ee {unmistakable position. we it he ‘does: each, it may naturally be supposed, is anxious to make friends of the neighbors whose losses he adjusts, and each is inclined to be as liberal as the conditions will possibly warrant. As a result there have been instances, where. the same loss has been “adjusted” three separate and distinct times; other cases where 130 per cent indemnity has been paid on a 70 per cent loss; still others where a check for $500 or more has been mailed a farmer who had not previously been apprised that he had suffered any loss from hail. The fallacies of such a system have been exposed by the hail commissioner of South: Da- kota, who has shown how the farmers of that, state are paying less for a larger degree of pro- tection than is enjoyed in North Dakota. The flat hail tax of three cents per acre which. must be paid whether a farmer has any crop:to insure or not, and regardless of whether he chooses to buy state protection or to spend his money with some old line insurance company, is a direct injustice. So, too, is the provision in the North Dakota law requiring withdrawals to be made not later than June 15, at a season of the whether climatic conditions will leave them any- thing to buy protection for. The fact that sections of the state where hail losses are comparatively rare must pay as much ‘for hail protection as other districts in which hail damage is the rule'rather than the exception certainly cannot be justified by any of the flowing- tied, long-haired gentry who write editorials for Mr. Townley. f And, when we get down to facts, it must be re- membered that the idea of state hail insurance did not originate with Mr. Townley; it must be admitted that North Dakota had experimented with the plan for many years, and that changes which Commissioner Olsness has sought were recommended in at least three annual reports by Walter C. Taylor, who preceded Mr. Olsness. Like air and sunlight and water, state hail insurance was not originated by Mr. Townley. In fact, he is as little responsible for North Dakota’s adoption of this plan as he is for the state grain grading and inspection act, fathered and forced through an antagonistic Townley legislature by the late Senator Kirkeide of Benson county, a stalwart who never truckled to Bolshevism, and Senator Drown 6f Cass county, a man who at heart has as little respect for A. C. Townley as have other legislators who have been courageous enough: to openly break with the dictator. The league may be conceded Fred Cathio ‘and Bob Blackmore and their two-thousand and five- ‘thousand dollar jobs, but.

Mr. Hoover’s statement falls into two parts. The first deals briefly with the important matter of: his Presidential candidacy. The second treats at length of the comparatively unimportant mat- ter of his individual vote. Mr. Hoover says he is not a candidate. But this does not mean that he will'refuse a nomination if it comes to him. There is an accepted formula for one who would take an It is: “If. nominated, I ‘will not'accept; and if elected, I will not serve.” Mr. Hoover does not go this far. What Mr. Hoover has to say about himself as a voter will not strengthen the sentiment for. him as acandidate. A man who proposes to wait “un- til it more definitely appears what party managers stand for,” instead of doing what one with his prestige can do to make party managers stand for the right things, does not strike the note of jan inspiring leadership. In rejecting the idea of ‘more than two great parties” for this country, Mr. Hoover is. in accord with the mass of his countrymen. He is also upon firm ground when he adds: “Nor can any one man dictate the issues of great parties.” We have had too much of that spirit of dictatorship in the leaders of both parties in recent years. But Mr. Hoover carries diffidence too far. His candidacy has been welcomed as sup- plying:a rallying point for public opinion ; as com: pelling an alignment upon real issues; as inject- ing a breath of reality into a somewhat artificial party situation. His statement does not bring “us nearer to that goal. | Mr. Hoover must make up his mind. Either he n with, North Dakota employs scores of is a candidate, active or receptive, or he isn’t.
