(From the Philadelphia Inquirer
There have been multiplying evil
dences that Nature, however gen.
erous she may have been to Will
lam Jennings Bryan in the be-
stowal of her gifts, never intended
him to occupy the position Of Sec
rotary Of State in the Cabinet OF
the President Of the United States.
This is a post, above all others,
which requires unusual tactfulness,
knowledge of the usages Of dtplo-
macy, and a keen and delicate
sense Of the fitness Of things.
Many persons, who have no de-
sire to be unfair to Mr.. Bryan,
have gravely doubted whether he
possessed any of these qualifica-
tons, and his latest announce
ment that he proposes to lay down
the duties of his high office for six
weeks in order to devote that time
to a profit-making tour of the
Chautauqua lecture circuit Will
absolutely confirm their misgivings.

"a Dangerous Man-Why
Did He Enter Cabinet?"

From the Boston Trdveler.)
AS a leader of the plain people,
standing on the outside and telling
what ought to be done, William
Jennings Bryan was for years in a
class by himself. AS a Cabinet Off
cial who is leaving grave duties to
be attended to by his subordinates,
while he explains that he must lee
ture In order that his annual in
come may not fall below a speci-
fed total, he is a melancholy figure
He is more than that-he is dam
gerous man.
Why did Bryan enter the Cabi-
net? Why Is he remaining there7
The Attorney-General discredited
himself in the California matter.
The Secretary of State is doing
more than that-he is discrediting
the country. He should resign or
attend to business

Lecturing Instead of
Tending to His Duty.
(From the Cleveland LEADER

From the Cleveland LEADER
Affairs in Mexico, If not in
Washington, appear to be in a con-
dition requiring careful handling.
The President has returned to the
capital from his Summer holiday.
Utmost solicitude for national in
terests would seem to necessitate
the presence of the head Of the De-
partment of State. Instead, we see
him far away addressing Chautau-
qua audiences under the stern COM
pulsion of necessity-tne homely,
universal necessity Of earning a
living.
Secretary Bryan should now go
a step further in candOr and tell
the people how much it will cost
them to engage his entire atten-
ton to their affairs.

he now gayly deserts the work
for which the United States pays
him $4,000 a year to discharge
his rhetoric and collect dollars on
the road.
Since Mr.. Bryan seems to have
no sense of public obligation, Of
official responsibility or of loyalty
to the Administration upon which
his evasion Of his functions has
already brought ridicule and is in
more than fair way to bring con-

Uncle Sam and the
High Cost of Grape Juice.

From the Chicago Daily Netos.D
As for the compulsion, the eco
nomic urge, that ostensibly drives
Mr.. Bryan to this course, 1t should
cause Uncle Sam to feel a measure
of remorse or some similar emo
ton. 1t is probable that he is not
paying his chief lieutenants enough.
Possibly he has been too busy to
consider the high cost Of grape

tants Of diplomatic life in Wash
ington.

Does He Feel the
Net Thrown Round Him?

From the Jacksonville (FIG.) Times
UfliOn.)
Is II not plain that Wilson was
wise in offering q seat In his
Cabinet to Bryan? Do not proofs
multiply that Bryan feels the net
thrown about him?
1t seems the character Of Mr..
Bryan's associates makes no diff
ference, else we might inquire
whether a lot of people who give
cow-calls and are called Tyrolese
yodlers are fit companions on the
stage for our Secretary of State.

he questioned the propriety Of de-
partmental officers writing articles
for the magazines In exploitation Of
scientific and other discoveries. He
held that department officers
should not allow themselves to be-
come literary beneficiaries of their
own inside knowledge. What would
he have said If his Secretary OF
State, publishing a journal, had
issued prospectus, asserting that
1t would make a speciality of news
of our international affairs. And
II that officer had in addition been
routed with popular entertainers,

PERFORMAN('E OF OUR AMERICAN SECRETAl
(FrOm the Boston Herald. }

(From the Boston HerdId.)
Viewed in its most favorable
light, Mr.. Bryan's course remains
wholly indefensible. The New
York Evening Post remarks that
Bryan's cutting off an interview
with the Japanese Ambassador, to
make connections with a Chautau-
qua engagement, did not look well.
The story, as 1t Travelled over the
world, would do our diplomatic es-
tablishment no good. 1t would add
nothing to our dignity as a nation,
or to our standing before the civ
ilized world.
All this Is ncontrovertible. When

1.-The More He Talks the
Worse Light He Is In. :"

(From the Netc York Tribune.)
The more words Mr.. Bryan
speaks in defense of his Chautau-
qua undertakings, the worse light
he places himself In.
From a purely business point Of
view Mr.. Bryan's performance is
little short of impudent. Mr.. Bryan
was under no contract or obliga-
ton to serve as Secretary Of State.
He could take the Office or decline

1t, the plaInest dictates Of ordinary

Says Bryan Is Beyond
Any Sympathy of Ours.

from the chicago ITtbune.)
Mr.. Bryan Is as cheerful as Job

able feeling that he is exposing US
as a tight-fisted nation.

From the Neto York Sum-
Mr.. Bryan's excursions from
Washington and his post Of duty

become more than a joke. They
are a scandal. A Secretary Of
State whose department is crowded
with grave and delicate interna-

After two months observation
of Mr.. Bryan's way of tearing
about the country, taking wild
automobile rides in order to keep
his engagements, appearing on the

we are quite certain that the av-
erage American citizen is ready to
conclude that Mr.. Bryan is on the
wrong tack and that he should
either quit the lecture platform or
quit his Government job.

LOLO-INDlAN CHIEFS CHILD
WHO HATES HER OWN PEOPLE

Lolo, full-blooded Indian girl, is
afraid of her own race, and despite
her Is years she shoulders at sight
of red skin. That is the peculiar
antipathy that has been asserted by
Lolo ever since her early prattling
years, and a strange thing about it
all is that it led to the discovery
that the girl was blessed with
sixth sense-an ability to read the
mind of her foster father.
When Lolo was only a fodder
she could tell by his expression
whether he saw an Indian in the
distance or whether his mind was
bent on Indian affairs. Then the
little one would hide after the warn
ing against her bugaboo she read in
her parents mind.
The strange talent of the wee In
dian maid was fostered. Now she is
n the stage in an exhibition of
menta. suggestion. She reads every
thing her foster father sees while
black sticking plaster blindfolds
her, and while her eyes are band
aged she shoots an arrow and rifle
with perfect aim, the targets being
articles placed by a man whose
every thought she seems to be able
to divine.
J. L. Cotton, Lolo's foster father
formerly was Indian agent in South
Dakota. He it is who accompanies
the girl on her vaudeville tour.
Lolo is a direct descendant OF
Chief Rain in the Face She was
adopted by Cotton when the death
of her parents on the reservation
of which he had control left the In
dian infant a wait.
