Bryan's Shallowness.

q GOOD DEAL has been said
~ about Mr.. Brysn's moral re-
4 " sponsibility in the matter of
the treaty with Spain for the
Philippine Islands. lie advised the
ratification of that treaty. without the
Democratic votes which he influenced
in it's favor, the treaty could not have
bound to help execute it in good faith
and can not escape such responsibility,
But leaving that aspect of the mat
ter wholly out of consideration, it
would seem that Mr.. Bryan, as presi-
dent. would be legally barred from
executing his proposed policy In the
Philippines. The Constitution of the
United States says that "all treaties
made or which shall be made under
the authority of the United States shall
be the supreme law of the land" The
Supreme court has upheld that provis-
ion unnnchingly. Acts of state legis-
lation or acts of congress which con-
flict with treaties are always treated
as nullities. The obligation which the
constitution puts upon the president to
take care that the laws be faithfully
executed" binds him to the execution
of all treaties.
How then would Mr.. Bryan have to
deal with the Philippines under the
treaty? Section four of the treaty
under which we acquired the Philip
pines pledges the United States to give
Spanish ships and merchandise access
to the ports of the Philippine islands
on the same terms as those of the
United States for the period of ten
years. That is part of our supreme
law" which the president is to see
faithfully executed.
Plainly, then, for ten years at least
our authority must be maintained in
those islands. Mr.. Bryan could not
withdraw American authority within
that time without violating our
supreme law. Yet, according to his
theory, he would have the United
States leave the islands as soon as
possible after his election and throw
our treaty obligations to the winds.
That shows how shallow is his COM
prehension of great responsibilities and
obligations.

the pure food commissioners, however, and for
a few months no retailer cared to risk arrest

After yainly attempting to force a test case

with the law. As soon as the Royal labels were
prepared and distributed the sale OF Royal Bak-

Red Cross, now in course
a of reorganization under the
new powers conferred by the
last congress. has taken up as it's first
active work the relief of suffering in
the famine districts of India. Although
the work of reorganization is barely
begun, yet Miss Clara Barton, presl-
dent of the Red Cross, believes that
famine relief should be undertaken at
once, not only because the need of re-
lief grows more urgent as time passes.
but also because this is the kind of
work that congress and the president
have committed to the hands of the
Red Cross.
To avoid delays and to prevent COM
plications with the reorganization work,
which will be carried on at National
headquarters at Washington, Miss Bar
ton has placed the India famine work
in the hands of a committee with head
quarters in the Presbyterian building,
1856 Fifth avenue, New York city. The
committee has already received a large
number of volunteer offers from per-
work in India. The offers came from
physicians, trained nurses and persons
who had already seen service in India.

! pOsitory of funds the North American
