SERVICE
Could Be Improved by the Appoint
mont Of Business Men as


Consuls.
New York, Sept I'm order to find
out what the manufacturers of the
country think of the consular service,
the American Exporter, of this city,
sent a circular letter to great num-
Der of manufacturing concerns
throughout the country asking them
questions bearing on the general sub
ject of the efficiency of the service.
Some $50 replies came from concerns
manufacturing and exporting mach
inery, railway supplies, clothing, BIZ
cycles and typewriters, athletic and
sporting goods, lumber, carriages,
hardware, cotton goods, automobiles,
electrical apparatus, groceries, etc.
The letter asks among other ques-
tons:
Gas far as your line is concerned do
you consider that the daily consular
American commerce, and do you find
that the subject matter in general
bears evidence of having been written
and edited by men who are conver-
SAINT with industrial and commercial
subjects or otherwise?
Have you found that there is any
marked difference in the value of re-
ports in the daily consular and trade
reports written by special agents of
the department of commerce and
labor as compared with those of the
consulsP
From what class of men do you
think the consular corps should be re-
cruited, and what special training do
you consider that they should have
to be of value to the country's export
interests?"
The American Exporter thinks from
the replies received that there is a
general belief among business inter
ested that an improvement in the con-
sular service is possible and what Is
needed for the benefit of the COM
merce of the country is that business
men be appointed as consuls.

tension of representative government
has been marked by the individuality
of some great dominant mind. Crom-
well easily became the head of the
English Revolution which freed Eng
land from the tyranny of her kings;
Washington left his impress on the
conflict that rescued America from
European domination; Napoleon re-
stored order out of anarchy and res
cued France from the horrors of her
revolution; while Lincoln was the
commanding spirit in the days Of the
anti-slavery struggle. So today this
great onward social movement, wider
in its sweep than any other in our
history, and greater than any other in
its union of moral and intellectual
forces, and destined to be more effec-
tive than any other, is dominated by
the superb personality of William
Jennings Bryan. Emerson said Of
some one that he not merely wrote
his impress on the thought of his day
and generation, but he ploughed 1t in.
So it may be said of Bryan and this
new movement that he has not simply
written his name in the history of our
time, but he has ploughed it in.
Bryan a dreamer-says the senator,
but he should remember that all of
the great men who have left their
impress on the worlds history were
at times viewed with distrust and re-
ceived as impracticable dreamers and
fanatics. This is true of the leaders
of men In every avenue of human ac-
tiviJy. 1t Is said that when the in
ventor of the locomotive engine ap-
peared before a committee of parlia-
ment to explain his invention, that
he proposed to place wooden cross
ties on the graded earth, with Sc
curely bolted iron rails on these
cross ties, and to place his engine on
this prepared track and thus draw
heavily laden coaches from point to
point at the rate of ten miles per
hour. Questioned II he thought it
would be possible to increase this
speed to twelve miles per hour he
answered yes; fifteen miles per hour
came yes; twenty miles an hour was
asked and again came the answer
yes; though this time with some hesi-
tation. Thereupon 1t is said the COM
mittee reported they could have moth
ing to do with such an impracticable

BILE, the telephone, and in our day the
wireless telegraph, and so has every

In advance of his time. You remem-
ber the story of how Joseph was re-
ceived with the remark. Here comes
the dreamer" and they sold him into
Egyptian slavery. But the bondman
of Egypt came to sit at the right hand
of the king and his brethren who sold
him into bondage came to crawl at
his feet begging bread that they might
have the wherewithal to live. So to-
day the one time reviled and despised
theorist, the "Boy Orator of the
Platte" has come to be the FORE
MOST PRIVATE CITIZEN OF THE
WORLD and those who spat upon him
a decade ago are now stealing politi-
cal bread from his political table that
they may have the wherewithal to
continue their political existence.
Surely the man who adheres to the
truth and sincerity comes in time
to his own reward.
