Statesman and Scholar.

Hon. James Bryce, the British am
bassador to the United States, is one
of the finest examples of the scholar
in public life. His great abilities have
been repeatedly recognized by scholas-
Tic institutions in this country. One of
the latest instances, says the Troy IN
y Times, was his selection to deliver
the first Of the annual Dodge lectures
at Yale university. Ambassador
Bryce made the address last evening,
his subject being Indolence as a Hin
drance to Citizenship" While omit
Ting all illusions to current American
politics, Mr. Bryce spoke of the civic
duty which requires of every man that
he shall do what he can to raise the
standard OF citizenship, and in this
connection remarked: The fellows
who are too good TO run for minor Of
fees may well take an example from
that young man who. more than 20
years ago. did not consider himself
above going to the lower house OF the
New York legislature. and who has
now become an eminent statesman
And. the report of the proceedings
states, the crowd warmly applauded
this apparent reference to President
Roosevelt"
