Mr.. Bryan,s Fees.

Mr.. Bryan is again being criticised for
charging fee to deliver addresses to au-
diences under certain circumstances. To
deal with the subject frankly and in the
same honorable spirit which characterizes
all Of Mr.. Bryan's transactions, requires
the statement that a majority even of
his political followers doubtless
instincuyely object to his charging for a
speech delivered under any circumstances
or before any audience, unless, of course.
il be in the presentation of law case in
courtroom. This is easily accounted for.
Il is due to the fact that Americans dis
sociate their politics from their business.
They look to their political leaders for un-
selfish and high-principled guidance.
Our whole political system is based
upon the theory of Great Britain,s.
in that men are supposed to be
attracted to the public service not for its
pecuniary rewards. but for the opportunity
it affords TO bestow benefit upon the state
and secure personal prestige and honor.
and this lis the theory Of our system. de-
spite the fact that in this country, con-
trary to the example in England, a gooj
salary is attached to the Office of legisla-
tor. So set are We in our pleasing theory
that political committees realize that the
course OF wisdom to pursue is to keep
from publicity the amount paid in all i'm
portant campaigns for the services of
speakers Of power and influence.
In reality. therefore, Mr. Bryan is only
doing publicly and without any attempt at
concealment what is done in some form to
a greater or less extent by most of our
political leaders. Instead of shielding
himself behind campaign committee, with
its fund, collected mostly from interests
that expect to be specially benefited by the
success OF the party ticket or platform to

SeVerai sea Captains Disqualified
Because of COlOr-B1indness.
Boston, July 15.-The United States Ma
rine Hospital doctors are examining sea
captains in and around Boston for color
blindness. This is done under the recent
act of Congress, and its enforcement is
resulting in the disqualification of raany
shipmasters. Two Boston shippers have
been so disqualified, Captain Smith. of the
schooner Jacob Winslow, and Captain Bab-
bitt, of the schooner Henry W. Cramp.
Both are men Of large experience, but
they are now obliged to leave their vessels
and seek other occupations.
The doctors say that in many cases color
blindness in seamen is produced by the
constant glare of the sun on the water.
