BRYAN AND BAILEY,

Congressman w II. Hinrichsen has
been saying some interesting things
about Bryan and Bailey. comparing and
contrasting the characteristics Of the two
men. The difference between them, he
says, is principally the result of their
methods Of study, and is partly due 10
the difference in education, training and
association. And he goes on:
Bryan takes up certain subject
studies il thoroughly. makes up his mind
and assumes his position on that sub
jeCt without regard 10 its connection with
or its bearing ON general politics. on the
other hand, Bailey studies general sub
jccts and is studying all the time. When
"a new question arises he applies 10 its
solution his general knowledge and
adopts or rejects proposition according
to whether 10 agrees with or is In opposi-
ton 10 the general principle in which he
believes. When the new question arises
Bryan studies il TO the root and then
makes up his mind. Bailey is ready TO
meet il at once by bringing TO bear upon
IL the searchlight of his foundation pm
ciples. Each plan has its advantage.
Bryan is the more brilliant as a spec
ialist. while Bailey is the more substantial
as a EtltidlLtI. i~din Ilal HIS a. pace
that has 10 be illed. ana while their con-
illusions will generally agree their differ
ent methods of arriving at these conclu-
sions may produce an occasional clash.
For instance, Bailey was always SILVER
man. because bimetallism is Il part of
general principle I'm which he is a be-
lever. Bryan studied the silver question
and became bimetallist. not because
bimctaiiism was Il part of any general
system in which he believed. but because
Eis studies convinced him that bimetan-
ism was right as an Independent pro-
position.
These different methods Of arriving at
the same conclusion brought about "a Ger
tain friction. Bailey was unwilling to
make any concessions 20 a third party or
10 "bolters" from the Republican party
i'm order 10 attain his end. Bryan was
anxious TO unite all opposition to the
gold standard without regard 10 the posi-
ton Of his allies on other questions.
In short Bailey was opposed TO "fus-
ion" while Bryan was in favor of H. The
final object of each man was The same,
but they differed as 10 the best plan Of
attaining that object. Bailey is more
likely 10 be right on all general questions
and Bryan is more likely 10 b. the most
effective on independent propositions.
This is simply a specification Of the
general assertion which we have more

Bailey is Democrat and that Bryan is

REoRGANIzE IN THE RIGHT WAY.

one thing which the controversy be-
tween General Miles. commander of the
army of the United States and General
Eagan. comnssary general OF the same
army, has forced upon public attention
is the fact that the commssary gene
raj of the army IS not subject to the
orders of the commander of The army and
the same is true of the quartermaster
general. the surgeon general and the i'm
spector general. Indeed. tho commander
OF the army IS not the commani r of

HAVE WE OUTGROWN THE CON
sIIIIIInN >

I'VE have Outgrown the Constitution,
said General Merritt in a recent speech.
That is the view which the military men
and the expansionists hold. and we will
have outgrown il if We enter upon a
policy OF Imperialism. II is a principle
OF this government that all citizens are
equal before the law. OF. as some writer
has forcefully put &C., "the essential and
Fundamental principle of this govern
ment is that man is tho units that each
one is a coequM part of the whole that
IL you add together al the people and
divide by the sum Of the whole the re-
suit is always thc exact measure of the
exact rights under the Jaw OF every
citizen. 40 one one fraction more no one
one fraction less"
Now. if We take the Philippines ami go
In for colonial possessions generally, We
shall have two classes of American citi-
zens, unless we are going TO admit the
mongrel inhabitants of the Philippines
and Of Hawaii into full citizenship, giving
them full representation I'm Congress. and
nobody proposes this. II the Philippines
are to be governed by us they are TO be
governed as dependent colonies, and there
will be two classes of American citizens
-one class enjoying the fun privileges
Of the Constitution. the other class gov
erned without their consent and under
the domination of the superior class.
When that comes TO pass We will,
indeed, have outgrown. or rather, have
grown out OF the Constitution.
And that is not all. There is a more
serious view. We may have no concern
for the Philippines. We may be will
ing to govern them as subjects, ana we
may console ourselves with the thought
that they are better off with any sort
Of government under the United States
flag than they were under Spanish con-
troll. or than they would be under their
own government. But how will it be az
home? Once admit the principle that
there are American citizens and American
citizens. once discard our motto of equal
and exact justice 10 all, and there is no
telling where the thing will end. If we are
going to have TWO classes of American ciu-
zens-one at home and one I'm our colo
nies-the time will come when there will
be two classes of American citizens at
home. In other words. Imperialism IS
step towards monarchy and aristocracy.
Let us beware of the first step.
