LANSING AND WILSON.
Former Secretary of StiiU Robert LmiKinff, who wub dis
missed from the service by President Wilson, js now writing the
story of the pence conference imd the u:gue of nations.
While there is little in his articles,, in the Post that most
people had not alreudy concluded to be about the facts in the
case, there is no question but what the former secretary clinches
for once and all the popular American opinion' or the Wilson atti
tudo durinir those trying timcR.
That the delegation from America to the peace conference was
of no avail unless it agreed with the ex-President, was generally
believed, and now Mr. Lansing cinches that belief.
' Uut.fct i'B now look with charity on the weakness of Mr.
Wilson.. It was a mistake on his part, but Americans are too
big to now pick a further quarrel with the man whose physical
wreck wis accomplished in a timo when the world creaked on
us hingi's.
The Lansing story will be all right for historical libraries, but
for popular reading it has little place today. "
CLARA HAJION AND OKLAHOMA.
Some of the newspapers believe that it was a matter of law
form to try Clara Hamon or the killing of Jako llamon, Repub
lican national committeeman at Ardmore, UKianoma. 11118,-we
believe, is the right conclusion. '
Oklahoma guessed the erdict of the jury . from the, very
morning the news spread that Clara had shot Jake. The general
public cleared Clara at once. Sentiment was that "Jake needed
killing and got what was coming to him."
But Oklahoma, unlike it was once, now claims that, the law
must be satisfied with trials instead of justice being done by
lynching or shooting, as .prevailed in the days of "No Mon's
Land. So the trial was held, but if we have the right recollec
tion of those Oklahomans, the mind of every spectator-was fully
made up before any evidence was submitted, and this is largely
true of' the jury.
And Clara was the heroine. In the minds of Oklahomans she
did what was right, and had the jury decided otherwise, we be
lieve there would have been a widespread of firearms with pos
sibly a few lynchings.

The fact that tho water system of La Grande mur.t be rebuilt

some faulty construction, but it takes a great deal more water to
supply the city now than it did then.
