the measure bv a vole of M tn to. Investigating New York city flnanco, to
(July two Itepubllcans voted against (( ,irmllle wht the exact debt limit of
Robert Mnslng. Secretary of Stale,
has explained to the Democratic State
chairman. William Church Osborn, ex
actly why It waa injudicious for htm to
accept an invitation to be permanent
chairman of the Democratic State Con
vention at Syracuse on March I.
Chairman Osborn made public yester
day tln correspondence Hint passed be
tween him and Secretary Lansing rela
tive to the invitation. Mr. Osborn wro'e
on February II that Ihe committee on
arrangements was desirous wf having
Mr, Lansing preside and apeak on na
tional topics which meant that the
Democrat lo leadera wauted Secretary
Lansing to reply to the speech delivered
by Eltfiu Root before the Ilepublican
State Convention.
"X beg to aeaure you," Chairman Os
hem wrote, "that your acceptance will
give great aatlafaetlon to the committee
and to the Democratic party In this
Slate,"
Secretary Lansing addressed this let
ter the next day to Chairman Osborn:
1 am In receipt of your letter of
yesterday advising me of the ap
proaching convention of the Demo
cratic party In New Yoik Stale for
tjie purpose of selecting delegates at
large to the National Democratic Con
vention, ami asking me, on behalf of
the committee on arrangements, to
act as permanent chairman of the
convention.
til the first place, let me assure you
and the committee that 1 feel deeply
honored by their very complimentary
request, and under ordinary conditions
would be only too willing to comply
with their wishes, I have, however,
considered that It would be uuwIsh
for me at the present time lo take an
active pan In politics. The Impres
sion prevails throughout the country
that our foreign relations nro entirely
lemoved from partisanship of any
sort, an Impression which I believe
Is fully Justified by the way In whlih
the President has conducted them I
would deplore any ohange of public
opinion In this matter, as I am sure
ou would. I would, therefore, be un
willing to do anything which would
remove the Justified Impression of the
American people.
While It ha ben. and will continue
to be, my aim to conduct the Depart
ment of State without regard to do
mestic politics. I am afraid that If I
should act as permanent chairman of
the convention my doing so would he
misconstrued and might subjei t the
foreign policies of the Government lo
the criticism of partisan bins. Such
criticism would be unjust, but. It would
seem to me Inadvisable to Invite It by
accepting the chairmanship.
I hope nu will explain Ihe tenson
for my declination to the committee
of arrangements, and at the same time
thank them very sincerely on my 1m
half for the honor which they have
done me In considering my name for
pennanent chairman.
With my worm regards to you and
' my best wishes for an etithuslastln
i and harmonious gathering of Iho
' Democratic party at Syracuse, believe
I me, very cordially your.,
I Itonr.PT Lansing.
I Chairman Osborn said that the letter
aioko for Itself and won sufficient
testimony of the determination of the,
national Administration to keep In
ternational problems out of politics. He
said that ex-Oov. Martin II. Ulyun !
now at work on a speech which will bo
a reply to Senator Hoot's denunciation
of thn Administration, and that the
1 speeeh will bo an ;ibje and powerful
1 defence of Democratic poliuiett and the
Americanism of the President and his
nd vise is.
Mr. osborn declined to talk about the
report thill he Is it candidate lo succeed
I'nlted States Senator James A. Odor-
II1HII.
"I am having a pleasant time aa State
chairman," he said. "Why should I
leave a bed of roses upon which J am
lying so comfortably'."'

to Indicate to him that Col. Itoosevselt Is

Mr. Fllnn waa positive that lillhu Hoot

Big 'Little Things'
It is said of Washington that
his modest equalled his valor,
and that his courtesy was as
great as his greatness.
To big- men, the 'little thiiiRs'
of courtesy and patience and
service are riot little tilings
In our 44 'years of growing'
we trust that we have grown
in these little acts of service
and courtesy, also.
Good things, served simply
but well, at fair prices that is
our ideal.
