BRYAN CRIES SEA YE
 AGAINST THE PRESIDENT
ASSAILS THE WARLTKE TONE OB THE CHIEF EXECUTIVES
 MASSAGE.

Not Right That tie Army and Navy,
 the Instrument of Brute Force,
 Should be Placed Above the Nations
 Sense of Justice as the Gunrantor of
 Peace--DOctrines Which the Demo-
 crats Have Been Advocating Boldly
 Appropriated-SOme Things That Are
 Good.
 Lincoln, Neb., Dec. Recommending on President Rooseyelt's message, w.. J. Bryan said there was much that was good and much that was bad in it, but it may be regarded as the presidents most important state pa- per.
 MT. Bryan said: "The message con- tains much that is democratic and for which the general public may well thank him. It contains something that tUght to arouse severe criticisms. The president boldly appropriates doctrines which the democrats have been ad- vocating and on the other hand, he announces some doctrines which are so absurd as to excite amusement if the suggestions came from a less prominent source In some cases he takes advanced ground, in some cases he retreats from ground already talk en-"
 Mr. Bryan complains that what the president says on government by in- junction will not be satisfactory to the laboring men or to those who respect the right of trial by jury The presi- dents stand on child labor, the eight hour law and the right of the people to criticize a judge is commended
 On President Roosevelt's reference to the Japanese question, Mr. Bryan says:
 He pays a deserved tribute to the progress of the Japanese nation, and asks for legislation which will enable congress to protect the treaty rights of foreigners. That there should be such legislation cannot be generally disput- ed, but a great deal depends upon the character of the legislation If any bills are presented in regard to this suggestion they must be carefully scru- tinized, lest they deny to the states the right to protect themselves and their people In matters purely local"
 Finally MT. Bryan deplores what he calls the presidents warlike attitude. He says: There will be general dis appointment of the warlike tone of his message, where he discusses the army and navy He speaks of the navy as the surest guarantor of peace which this country possesses. Shame on the chief executive that he should place an instrument of brute force above the na- tion's sense of justice as a guarantor of peace, The best guarantor of peace is our nations principle to deal justly with other nations War ought to be a last resort, not a first consideration. Itis bad enough to have a few profes- sional soldiers. It is not necessary that the whole nation should be kept up all the time to the fighting point"

 though no vote was taken, and MT. sGrosvenor is now engaged in prepar- dng amendments for the committees iconsideration.
 The amended bill will be in harmony with Secretary Roots policy for the ex- tension of trade, as outlined in recent speeches in the west.
 Representative Watson, of Indiana, the republican whip, expressed the Iopinion that the committee can get a
 Favorable report on bill limiting the Subsidies to Latin American and Ori- .ental lines. He also said he had can yassed the house and is confident such Ia measure will pass.
