Action Most Bizarre,
SAYS Pail Mall Gazette.

LONDON July 19-Regarding
Secretary Bryan's lecture tour, The
Pail Mall Gazette tonight says:
1T is a singular PARADOX in a
country where there is so much money
in politics as in the United States
that the chief member Of the Presi-
dents cabinet should find his official
salary inadequate to support his eN-
istonCe.
We can quite understand why So. 20
GOO year is not enough for the Sec
rotary of State, considering the Amer
lean scale of life, but one would have
expected a man Of Bryan's moral
courage to call upon his country for
a living wage, to which he is entitled
rather than to propose going on the
stump as a lecturer. in the roles of
a minister and a professional enter
taiuer.
They make a most bizarre combi-
nation to all British ways Of think
ing, and we shall be surprised If even
American opinion reconCiles itself to
their inCOngruity."

Bryan's determination TO supplement

ened severe criticism from the men
who supported him when he first
doomed on the political horizon.

said Mr. Towne. These are DAYS
when great national issues must be
decided, and when the Secretary of
State is required to give every bit
of time and energy in behalf of the
nation. 1t is time when men in
trusted with the affairs of the Gov
eminent must have their minds oCCu-
pied with nothing else except the
questions of state.

there is a better feeling now between

1t IS with the most profound regret
that we have to note the position into
which the Secretary Of State has
drawn himself and the explanation
now given which only makes it
worse
Whether Mr.. Bryan can afford to
take a prolonged vacation at just this
critical time for the Administration
and his own high office may be "a
question but minor one. Whether,
under the frankly admitted Circum-
stances of personal fortune, he can
only afford a money making vacation,

college in the North and had them
trained, one as a physician and the
other as Presbyterian minister.
McDonogh had also acquired large
strip of land in Liberia, Africa.
When the appointed day arrived,
he placed his freedmen on a ship
which had been chartered with a
part of their earnings and sent them,
with rejoicing, and yet in tears, back
to their ancestral land.
McDonogh quantity tells us that
one of the interesting features of
his experiment was that his share
of the profits enabled him to go to
many negroes as he had sent to
Africa. He made the same contract
with these, and ordered in his will
that at his death, had the time of
the contract not fully expired, they
too should be freed and transported
to Liberia.
There is abundant testimony to-
prove that this wise and Christian
plan was successful in every direc-
ton in which McDonogh applied it..
Had it only been widely adopted,
might it not have spared our coun-
try the horrors and losses of the
great Civil War, and also relieved
America permanently of the vexing
negro problem of today?
In this noble effort, which as far
as it lay within, his own power, he
carried to a successful and happy
issue, John McDonogh stands before
posterity as statesman-like bene-
factor who applied iblical principles
with great power to a most difficult
social and economic problem of his
times.

for freeing his slaves. McDonogh
was early convinced that slavery
could not continue. He seems to
have abhorred the theory of the So
called abolitionists of his day, and
worked out for himself, instead,
plan by which his slaves were ena-
bled to purchase their own freedom.
In order that these slaves might
properly observe the Sabbath, he
had previously given them half of
Saturday in which to do their own
necessary work and prepare for the
Holy Day.
When McDonogh was ready to
make his experiment he called all
his slaves together and, they con-
senting, he entered into a contract
with them by which, using this half
Saturday as a basis, they were
gradually to buy all their time from
him. 1t was agreed that of all the
slaves he owned whoever wished
might enter into this bargain and
that all their children should share
it's benefits.
The scheme worked splendidly
and at the end Of fifteen years all
his blacks had earned their freedom.
In the meantime, he had sent two of
their most promising young men to
