COMES CLOSE
TO BEING CORRECT

Golfers Weekly, sometimes mis-
taken, but always independent, says
OF the hue and cry on Mr.. Bryan:
Over a hundred newspapers ex-
amined show only four or five de-
Tending Mr.. Bryan. yet We find it I'M
congenial TO join the hue and cry.
Bryan is a good man who means well.
There is nothing furtive about his
dereIiction. Moreover. his offense,
such as it is, is not against morals or
character or public principle, but
against taste or propriety or dignity
all OF them minor virtues of small
importance. \ man whose service TO
the community is one the whole large
and good ought not to be diminished
in his prestige, and therefore in his
usefulness, by newspaper nagging
directed at mere errors of taste. Bry-
an is probably serving the public as
we'll on the lecture platform as he
can by participating in high diplOm-
acy. He is primarily a political evan
gelist; he can impart idealism in the
hearts Of those who hear him. Bry-
ans visit in any community will be
followed by a rise in the collective
and individual ASPIRATIONS Of the PEG
! pie. That is Bryan's unique gift;
only a few men in a generation have
lit. All this doesn't deny that Mr.
Bryan might have managed things
better. But there are other public
affairs which better Justify excite
ment"

WHERE MEN ARE CHEAP

The following from the New York
World reads almost like an endorse
ment of an editorial that appeared in
the Star a few weeks ago:
There are Americans in Mexico as
missionaries. as students and inyes-
tigators and as travellers for health.
1t is not these that we hear the de-
mand for Intervention.
The Americans who want war with
Mexico are for the most part in Mex
leo only with their money. They
have agents in Mexico and employees
in Mexico, but personally they are alb
sent.
When We hear of the fabulous
value Of Mexico's undeyelOped re-
sources we should not forget that it
is not necessarily gold or silver or
copper or cattle or wool that induces
Americans TO put their millions into
the industry of that country.
1t is men. 1t is men who will work
for a pittance. There is not in al
Mexico a richer undeyeloped resourc=
than its sturdy but ignorant and
often misguided men.
These Americans are in Mexico
therefore. primarily because labor is
cheap. They knew the risks they
were taking when they made theil
investments. They knew that disOr'
der prevailed and that life and prop
erty were not secure. But they took
the chance, because when too many
revolutions were not in progress they
could hire men to work for a few
cents a day.
In this way we are to account fol-
many of the big American rancho:
and big American mining enterprise:
in Mexico When peace prevails, the
important American capitalists who
own these properties sometimes pro
coed in state to their feudal domains
but chiefly they are represented il
reace and in war by superintendent
and Overseers. some of them natives
Before we talk seriously of wa
with Mexico we must be sure tina
Americans have been wronged in tina
country because they are Americans
A war in behalf of Americans wis
are attempting by proxy to add t.
their wealth by peonage akin to slav
cry would not be highly popular ever
among our professional jingOes.

AN EXPENSIVE OFFICE

Life, which loses no chance to poke
fun at Mr. Bryan, but which is never
malicious about anything. has the fol-
lowing:
Anything that Mr.. Bryan can pull
off is all right for Mr.. Bryan. And
he is right about his salary not being
sufficient for his proper expenses.
Even though he saves a little money
putting out grapejuice when he ought
Ito pour champagne, twelve thousand
dollars will not pay the expenses he
ought by custom to incur as secre-
tary of state. He should have bet
ter house than he now has and one
much nearer the White House. The
government should provide it, and
should provide not less than twenty
thousand dollars a year for Mrs. Bry-
an to spend in it. AS it is, the sec
rotary of state, if he is poor, is in al
most as bad a predicament as our
ambassadors Congress won't vote to
pay his expenses. For that reason
Mr.. Bryan's temperance on the lee
ture circuit hos considerable value as
an advertisement of the niggardliness
of Congress in providing for proper
