The report of Mr.. Bryan's speech at
Lima, Peru, published in the current issue
Of the Commoner, Is calculated to give the
public a start Of surprise.
1t suggests that either theS South Ameri-
can climate has a wonderful effect on MI.
Bryan's point Of view or there is another
Mr.. Bryan who has been managing to
Nconceal himself successfully from public
notice in this country.
1t was the most cheerful speech! There
was. nothing at all the matter. with the
United States in that speech. He said it
was a great country. Here is a specimen
Of the noise the eagle emitted down in
Peru when his tail feathers were lightly
tweaked:
There is more altruism in the United
States than anywhere else in the world;
the people OF the United States are doing
more in an ungelfish way for the benefit
Of the human race than any other people.
If this seems boastful, / beg you to put
the statement to the test and you Will
world that our people have not already
unselfishly invaded. with no other pur.
pose than to raise the level OF mankind
and to carry help and happiness to those
who have been less fortunate than our
selves.
I'D in his country Mr.. Bryan's general
tone is one Of warning and unpleasantness.
No sooner does he appear than everybody
knows that something's wrong. It is a
waste Of time to look to him for words of
cheer and consolation.
Something is not only wrong when Mr..
Bryan heaves in sight with all his ora
toricaI sails bellying in the breeze. but
something has got to be lone and lone
quickly. If it isn't, the ship of state. re-
publican institutions, humanity itself, are
morally certain to founder in a very short
time.
Now It is Imperialism that must be gotten
rid Of at all costs IL we want to escape
instant destruction. Now it is the cross
of gold tina must be knocked down and
carted out before we get crucified on 1t.
Now 1t is the protective tariff that must
be chueked overheard on the instant OF
he won't guarantee results.
Many people speak Of him as "old DR..
Bryan" because they instinctiveiy asso-
ciate him with the announcement OF some
old and reliable or some perfectly new dis
ease which can only be cured by care
fully soaking the mind every morning and
night In the solution he proposes.
Why SAINT Mr.. Bryan give his own coun-
try a little of his cheerfulness2 Why re-
serve all his optimism for the Peruvians
who cannot appreciate 1t properly, having
had no opportunity to realize the lovely
contrast It affords2 Why not turn himself
loose up here some time and admit that
the end Of the republic is not eternally
bObbing in sight?
We really can't see why an orator, who
radlates cheerful patriotism down in Peru

Back 20 the vacant Lot.

Why not return to the vacant lot? The
idea Of c%ultivating unoocupied urban prop
erty is now many years old, but 1t has
never been developed to It's full possibilities.
Potato Pingree first po~pularized the plan;
others have urged 1t since.
Cultivate the aca lots. Back to the
soil is a good slogan. II one can get no
farther back than the first u~noccupied piece

The harvest comes not only in what one
gathers from the ground, but in increased
health and a sense of satisfaction that one
has wrested something tangible from ma
ture and become at last a real producer.
