FRANKLIN K. LANE
THE United Stutes lest one of its most
useful citizens when Franklin It
Lnne died. If it had net been for the
nccident of hU birth In Canada he would
certainly have been seriously considered
for the presidency. Mis residence en
the Pacific slope would net have counted
against his availability, for lie had be-
i come u national character. His death
at the early ngc et fifty-five jears was,
! a public calamity. AltlieiiKh he had
retired from office In order te earn
money te support him In his old nge he
could net have kept himself out of pub
lic affairs for very long.
He began te devote himself te public
service us seen as ne icit ceiujr,e oe ee
cause he saw things that needed te be
done, and he responded te the rail
thereafter whenever it seemed possible
for him te accomplish an) thin;;. He
remained in the Cabinet of 1'reildent
Wilsen, when if he had consulted his
private Inclinations lie would have re
l?nod because of the difficulty of get
ting along with his superior. Hut he
remained because of his tense of public
obligation.
The widow of Air, Lane has done it
public service in editing a collection of
his letters just isNiird from the press
of the Houghten-Mifflin Company. They
het forth the peliticul Ideals of the man
nnd reveal the greatness of his spirit.
As n textbook in Americanism the vol
ume Is invaluable. It ought te be read
by rvery noting man who has uny polit
ical ambitieiib.
Lane wa nominally it Democrat,
but he icon an American firtt, and
an .Inicrican of xe bread a mind
that he commanded the respect of
honest men in all partie.
I
T WAS Theodere Uwnevelt who ap
pointed him te the Interstate Cem
merce Commission, where be served with
distinction until Woodrew Wilsen made
him Scrretitry of the Interior. He
was one of the strongest nnd inet effi
cient men in the Cabinet, se strong in
fact that, as I have already indicated,
he had difficulty 1" getting along with
the President.
His letters tell the story of his Cab
inet experiences, and they also reveal
1 the mind and temp-r of the man. At
the present moment his comments en
' Wilsen and his revelations of what
wnt en in Washington durlnr; the
, war are of greater interest than his
letters en ether matters. They will be
I of value in fixing the final estimate of
i Wilsen just as the letters of Ambas
sador Page hate the sume kind of im
pertance, isut it me uoek is renu in
five years from new. as It ought te be,
it will be because of the interest in the
revelation of the mind nnd purposes
of n great American eitUen who sterl-
fired bis fortune and his lite In the
public service.
One ennnet rend the letters without
regretting the untimely taking off of se
fine a spirit. They ure written te nil
sorts of persons, men and women, poli peli
tirlans, college professors, newspaper
editors, and jtit friends te whom he
was bound bv common intellectual in
terests. They ure just as surprising in
their extent and variety as the letters
of Ambassador Page. One wendcrj
hew se busv a man could find time te
write se much, or could write with such
apparent lack of haste and such teres
nhle dlseiirsiteneFS. If It were net al al
wejs unsafe te generalise from inade
quate data T would he Inclined te say
that the once lest art of letter writing
bad been i discovered. Hut Page was
a journalist nil his life and Lane wsn
a journalist In Ills jeuth. Te conclude
because two such men had the ability

te write letters entertainingly that ether
bttsy men also have the ability would
be unjustified by the available evidence.
Future collections of letters by men In
ether professions may Justify such a
conclusion. Lhne himself insisted that
the letters of William James were of
the first Importance, but the James let
ters were an oasis in the desert of au
tobiographical dullness. And James,
although net n journalist, was n writ
ing man gifted with the power of lucid
thinking and apt expression of It en
paper.
Hew much of the delightful im
pression produced by the book is due
te the careful and judicious scire scire
tlen of the tetters te be published
only Mrs. Lane who did the selecting
can knew.
NOW te the matters of immediate
interest in the volume, which are
the lights thrown en Wilsen, his char
acter and his method.
Meny persons will be as curious nbeut
what he has te nay regarding the scan
w,?u " "teriM circulated nbeut Sir.
Wilsen as about anything else. In n
letter te his brother, written en June
0, 101, Mr. Lane says:
I had a talk with the President
Uie ether day. which was very touch
ing. He made reference te the In
ramous stories that are being clrcu
LVed rwdlnr him w'th such In
dignation and pathwi that I felt very
?JW him, I suppose hese stories
will be believed by seme and made
tne basis of a very nasty kind of
campaign. But there is no truth In
them and yet a man can't deny them,
it Is a strange thing that when a
man Is net liable te any ether charge
they trump up soma story about a
woman.
Here fellow several extracts from
letters in which he comments en Wil Wil
eon and his methed:
February 16, 1917 Today's (Cab
met) mectUur has resulted In nothing,
though In Mexico. Cuba, Cesta Wen.
and Eurcpe we have trouble. The
country is growing tired of delay una
without pesltle leadership is lealnj,'
ltii keenness of conscience and becom
ing inured te Insult.
March 12. 191S Nothing talked of
at the Cabinet meeting that would In
terest a nation, a family or a child. Ne
tnlk of war. Ne talk of RiFsIa or
Tnpan. Talk of McAdoo about some
hills In Cengress: bv the President
abiut ijlvlntr the veterans of the Span
ish War leave with pay te attend their
annual encampment. And he treated
thin berleusly an If It were a mat
ter of first Importance.
November 1, 19t8 Nothing was
said of politics (at the Cabinet meet
ing), alt he ugh things are at white
heat ever the President's appeal te
the country te elect a Democratic
Congress. Me mad9 u mistake. My
notion was, and I told him se nt the
meeting three or four weeks age, that
the country would give him a vete of
cenHdence because he wanted It te
strengthen his hand. Hut Hurlesen
said that the party wanted a leader
with guts that was his word and
it was a challenge te his (the Presi
dent's) virility that was at once mani
fest. May 1, 1919 I hae no doubt that
the President will have his way. He
nearly always does. Surely the Ged
that ence was the Kaiser's is new
his.
November 28. 1919 I liae served
him (the President) long and faith
fully under very adverse circum
stances. It is hard for him te get
en with any one who has any will
or Independent judgment.

Cowardice and hypocrisy are slated
te win, nnd makeshift and the cheap
est pelltlcti nre te take pos.seslen
of national affairs. IJetter obstinacy
and egomania I Cox, I think, han
made a gallant tight. He Is te be
beaten because Wilsen is as unpopular
as he was ence popular. Uh ! If he
had been frank as te his lllnesi the
people would hae forgotten every
th ng, his K'-'lng te Paris, his refusal
te deal with the mild reservatlenlsta
ecrythlng would have been swept
away In a great wave of sympathy.
lint he could net be frank He who
talked se of high faith In trio people
distrusted them ; and they will net be
mastered by mstery. Se he Is be
much Iea tnan a ,,ere tl)at ll0 b,al8
down his party te defeat
It may be that the value of these
appraisals will be discounted by these
who recall that Lincoln was bitterly
criticized by the members of his Cabi
net, and that Lincoln kept his own
counsel en many important matters.
His Cabinet did net knew he was go
ing te emancipate the slaves until he
rend the proclamation te them Just
befere he issued it. But, however great
a man the admirers of Wilsen think
him te be, they have net yet put him
in the class with Lincoln, about whom
controversy ceased as seen as he wus
dead,
Mr. Lane, who was cle;lj asso
ciated with Wilsen, is entitled te his
say, and It is well that it has been pie
served in ptlnted form where It be
comes patt of the irnperlshable record
of n stent epoch.

The deft combination of these two car

make the little book ull the mere in

Who tells hew he discovered Eng
land CRISTOFORO LEACOCK
Canadian Humorist Gees Out en
Voyage of Discovery and
Finds England
"My Discovery of Kngand" (Dedd.
Mead & Ce.) Is a most diverting book,
yet one with plenty of substance. Fer
the author is net only a funny man but
nlse a thinking man. Like the immortal
creator of "Alice In Wonderland," he
Is both a humorist and n savant. As a
writer of satire and parody he is known
en two continents, and In his home
Canada, he has local celebrity as a col cel col
ege professor.
His new offering is nlse timely. There
have been any number of Britishers
w-he huve exploited America, usually
the United States, but 'sometimes
Canada, tee, 6lnce the war. Chesterton,
Mrs. Asqtiith, the quondam Virginian,
Lady Aster: Itepingtett. Sir Philip
Gibbs have till penned their Impressions
of America. Mr. Leacock returns the
compliment. As n Canadian, he has,
naturally, much mere of what may be
described as the American temperament
thun the English, for en this side et
the water it is ready net Anglo-Saxen,
whatever the origins mny have been.
Mr. Leacock was horn In England, but
his parents came ever te Cunada in
his chl.dhoed, nnd, as he says, he de
cided te come with them. His training,
his environment, his very air, nil had
in them that possibly Indefinable some
thing that distinguishes the cis-Atlnntlc
person from the trans-Atlantic.
Hence he Is able te leek with an ob
serving eje and rather detachedly upon
English humor, customs, co leges, pub
lic speeches, etc., nnd te regnnl crlt
Icullj the p.-es-, the tji.veruineiit. busi
ness, nnd ether phases of British in
dividuality. He Is funny without bclnu
course in his work, irenic .vitheut being
ill nntured, and constantly humorous.
It is a compliment te say that Ameri
cans nnd Canadians will appreciate his
japes nnd jests and Britishers will be
able te understand them minus dia
grams. A BOOK OF PLAYS FOR
