ROOSEvELT'S MESSAGE
is FLAYED BY BRYAN
Cries Shame at Warlike At
titude of President
ON THE JAPANESE QUESTION
In Regard to the Japanese Portion
OF Message, Congress Must See
that the Rights of the States Are
Not Invaded.

Lincoln, Neb. Dec. 1.-Comment-
ing on President Roosevelt's message
w. j Bryan said there was much
that was good and much that was bad
in it, but il may be regarded as the
presidents most important paper. Mr..
Bryan says
The message contains much that
is democratic and for which the gen-
9ral public may we'll thank him. 1t
con aims some things that ought to
arouse severe criticism. The presi-
dent boldly appropriates some of the
doctrines which the democrats have
been advocating, and, on the other
hand, he announces some doctrines
which are so absurd as to excl G
amusement if the suggestions came
from less prominent source. In
come cases he takes advanced ground
n some cases he retreats from ground
already taken.
Mr.. Bryan complains thai what thq
president says on government by iG4
junction Will not be satisfactory to the
laboring men or TO those who respec.
the right of trial by law The pres
ident's stand on child labor, the s.
hour law and the right of the people
to criJicise a judge is commended.
On President Roosavelt's reference
10 the Japanese question, Mr.. Bryan
says:
He pays deserved tribute to the
progress of the Japanese nation, and
asks for legislation which will enable
congress to fix the treaty rights Of
foreigners. That there should be
such legislation cannot be generally
disputed, but a great deal depends
upon the character of the legislation.
Ii any bills are presen ed in regard
to this suggestion, they must be care
fully scrutiniZed to be sure that they
do nos deny to the various states the
right to protect themselves and their
people in matters purely local"
Finally Mr.. Bryan deplores what he
calls the presidents warlike attitude.
He says:
There will be general disappoint-
ment at the warlike tone of his me-
sage where he discusses the army and
navy. He speaks of the navy as the
surest guarantOr of peace which this
country possesses. Shame upon the
chief executive that he should place
an instrument of brute force above
the nations sense of justice as a
guarantor of peace The best guar
antor of peace is out nations princi-
War ought to be the last resort, not
a first consideration 1t is bad enough
to have few professional soldiers.
1t is not necessary that the whole ma
ton shall be keyed up all the time
to the fighthing point"
