some Reflections ON Bryan's OppOsi-
ton 20 Harmon,
Cleveland Plain Dealer (dem).
No man In the democratic party has a
better right TO his opinion on men and
measures, and none has a better right to
express those opinions, than william j.
Bryan. Friends OF Judson Harmon cannot
complain because the thrice-defeated candi-
date for president chooses to declare his
opposition to the governors proposed can
didScy in 1912
But Judson Harmon IL not running For
president at the present time; he is merely
a candidate for reelection 10 the governor
ship. II is wholly beside the question TO
argue for or against him as a possibility
two years hence. Mr.. Bryan makes the
mistake of thinking a presidency IL at
stake, when only a governorship IL in issue.
IT needed no formal statement from the
gentleman of Lincoln 10 show that he had
little sympathy with the aspirations Of
those members OF his party who think they
see b rising national figure in the governor
OF Ohio. Bryan has been hostile TO the
Harmon movement from the moment he
found he could not dictate the governors
course in state politics. The Ohio de-
mocracys rejection of Bryan's plan for
endorsing senatorial candidate could have
had no other result.
The issue in Ohio this fall concerns in no
way the possibilities Of 1912. The whole
issue may be boiled into the single query:
Has Harmon made good?'
To the determination of this question
manifestly, Mr.. Bryan has made no con-
tribution. He is speaking beside the mark
discussing an issue with which the voters
OF Ohio are not concerned at the present
time
The governorship settled. as IL will be in
November, the democrats, like the repub-
leans will then turn to the presidential
contest two years later. Until after the
election 1t behoOves the party OF Harmon
and Bryan to stick to the question at hand
and not let the consideration Of distant
problems impertl right solution Of pres
ent ones.

More Ship Lines Needed.

American consular agents abroad
have done much to awaken merchants
and manufacturers at home to the
prime necessity OF adapting their wares
to foreign customs as a means of in
creasing their importations and now
some OF these consuls are urging the
Importance of better steamship facili-
ties for the same purpose. American
goods are kept out Of many ports. be-
cause we lack direct means OF transpor-
tation, such as the European ports Of
commerce have.
This is notably true with. reference
to Egypt, as our agent at Alexandria
points out, Egypt's imports last y tear
amounted TO S1I2,0Oo 900. and yet the
United States contributed, directly and
Indirectly. not to exceed per cent Of
this volume. One reason is that the
United States lacks direct eommuni-
walton with Egyptian ports, whereas
European nations have these facilities.
OF course. It Il true that Euro

peans also, because they are in
closer proximity, send their personal
representatives down into Egypt to cul-
tivate the trade, study its peculiarities
and, in addition, maintain longtime
credit accounts, neither desirable nor
feasible for Americans.
The consul points out the fact that
goods shipped from New York to Egypt
suffer by delay. For instance, a recent
cargo Of cottonseed oil reached its
Egyptian destination from 4 to per
cent loss and the buyer was able TO
collect damages neither from the
American steamship nor the insurance
company. And as cottonseed oil is an
article of which Egypt imports large
quantities, this becomes a rather i'm
portant matter. It certainly does not
conduce to a building-up OF American
commerce in Egypt.
This consul says that a steamship
line should be established between New
York and Tangier, instead of Gibraltar
that Is to make Tangier the first
port of entry. IL is coincidental that
even before his report has become gem
orally circulated. exactly such line is
proposed by American capitalists and
probably will be established. This,
perhaps, may be regarded as the first
step toward direct and uninterrupted
communication between Manhattan
and Morocco and when that is accom-
plished it will mean an opening up to
American industry of Alexandria
Smyrna, Constantinople, Odessa, and
other important eastern trade centers
now practically closed to our com
merce.

Whv Men Seek Office.

Discussing his own candidacy FOR re-
election, Speaker Wadsworth OF the
New York house OF representatives,
one of the "Old Guard" leaders, Is
quoted as saying that should it be to
my advantage" to decline a renom-
ination friend, whom he named,
would receive the full support of his
county. Aside from showing this
young leaders ability to deliver his
county where he sees fit, his declara-
ton raises the question, why do men
seek office?
Does the average man seek or re-
fuse to seek office for the reason that
Mr., wadsworth implies he does-to
serve his own advantage? Some do
not; some accept office with much
higher motives than that, motives
that comprehend public veal, but too
many do not. They go into it purely
for advantage" and when one office
no longer serves their advantage as
they think 1t should. they seek an
other. or course merit should count
in politics the same as in any other
line of public or private service, but
it is questionable II any man has the
right to regulate his whole plan Of
action on the basis of personal ag-
grandizement The chief danger In so
doing lies in the probability Of serving
himself better than his constituency.
whose interests he is placed In the
office to serve.
Most people have got away from the
delusiOn that the office seeks the man
in this country, but there is vast diff
ference between a man seeking an Of
flee to serve the public and going after
It for the sole purpose of private gain.

Trying Law Suits in Newspaperv.


Many lawyers are averse TO what
they call trying cases in the news
papers," many others are not averse
to it and many are not who say they
are. 1t often depends on whether the
newspaper happens to give their side
the more favorable hearing or not. AS
"a rule a lawyer will not take violent
exception to a good strong boost for
his side of the case, even in the col
umns Of newspaper. though his con
tempt for such proceedings may be
stirred to the utmost II the publica-
ton of the facts is adverse to him and
his client.
Charles A. Towne of silver repub-
lican and populist fame, now, by vir-
tue of single gold standard prosperity,
a money-making lawyer in New York
City, the other day went on record as
being strongly opposed to trying my
case in the newspapers" In the same
interview he proceeded to give out a
carefully prepared statement of his
case. which took up about one-half
column Of good newspaper space. OF

The Kansas PronunciamentO.

After all the Wild talk INDUCED in
Kansas and the sweeping victory Of
the insurgents in the primary there
the platform pronunciamento just put
out by the republican state council is
really more conservative than people
had been led to expect. The only sub
ject on which Il takes direct issue with
the Taft administration is as to
whether the tariff law is. as Mr.. Taft
has declared, a substantial fulflllment
OF the platform pledge of 1908. The
Kansans refuse to recognize the re-
vision of the tariff Of 1909 as "a sat
isfactory fulfillment" OF the tariff
pledge Of the republican platform, and
declare for further revision on one
schedule at time, according to recon-
mendations of an Independent, non
partisan tariff commission. Even in
this program the Kansas declaration
is not essentially different from that
outlined by the president, by whose
insistence the existing tariff board was
given an appropriation to pursue the
necessary Investigations, without
which no more satisfactory revision is
to be expected Whether the revision
shall be concerned with only one
schedule at a time is up to congress,
which could have pursued that method
before had, it 80 desired.
The other features of insurgency
where the Kansas platform goes be-
yond what the party is already com
mitted to are the revision of the house
rules to make committee chairman
ships elective by the house instead Of
appointive by the speaker and a pro-
vision for the physical valuation Of
railroads. The first is purely a ques-
ton of parliamentary procedure, in
which our own experience is conflict
ihg, the elective committees of the
senate seemingly producing the same
results as the appointive committees
OF the house. The physical valuation
of railroads is also rather detail than
a principle. II is in progress in many
states under state supervision; the
proposition was offered in the Chicago
convention, but voted down. The valu-
alton, however, is involved wherever
the question of reasonable rates arises,
and the Interstate Commerce commits
sion must eventually arrive at vRlua-
ton in the exercise of its rate-making
powers
The tribute to Colonel Roosevelt is

dent Taft and the administration II
