FROM HIS OWN FRIENDS.
portland OreRonianl.

The New York World was vigor-
Wilson for the democratic nomination
for the presidency and for his subse-
quent election. 1t approved the VII
son selection of Mr.. Bryan to be sec
rotary Of state, and has generally sup
ported the policies and actions of the
Wilson administration since its inau-
guration. But the World, like many
another newspaper, democratic ard
republican. is dissatisfied with Mr.
Bryans money making schemes while
secretary of state, and has been plain
in It's criticisms.
Recently the World made an out
right offer to pay Mr.. Bryan $4,000 a
year II he would cease his Chautauara
performances and devote his entire
time to the duties of his Office. Likely
enough it was an offer which would
cost the World nothing; but it is i'm
portant as indicating the uncompro-
missing attitude of one strong demo-
cratic journal toward Mr.. Wilson's
chief cabinet officer Lately the
World, noticing that Secretary Bryan
had in Chautauqua lecture testified
to his devotion to the principles Of
Thomas Jefferson, reproduced the fol-
lowing extract from letter by JET
ferson:
when | first entered on the stage
of public life I came to resolution
never to engage while In public office
in any kind of enterprise for the i'm
any other character than that of a
! farmer | have never departed fro,n
it in a single instance, and | have, in
multiplied instances, found myself
happy in being able to decide and to
act as public servant clear of all in
terests in multiform questions that
have arisen wherein ! have seen 9TH
ers embarrassed and biased by having
got themselves into more interested
situation Thus l have thought my
self richer in contentment than
should have been with any increase
of fortune"
Fancy Thomas Jefferson or John
Adams or James Madison or James
Monroe or Daniel Webster or William
II. Seward or w. M. Evarts or John
Hay or James G. Blaine or any other
in long line of ilustrious secretaries
of state closing down his roller tor
desk at p. m, grabbing his valise
and hiking away to fulfill $3.50 lee
ture engagement!

DEMOCRATIC DIPLOMACY.

According to Washington dispatches
President Wilson and presumably
Secretary Bryan are felicitating them
selves over the situation in Mexico
and pointing to it with pride as a
vindication of their policy The only
thing that has transpired since the
long delayed announcement of the
Mexican policy was made upon which
to base this claim for credit seems tn
be the fact that President Huerta will
not be a candidate in the approach
ing election. But inasmuch as the
constitution of Mexico bars Huersa
from entering the race, and he has
repeatedly dsclaimed any intent OF
doing it, the presidents jubilation az
fords fine example of a drowning
man grabbing at straw
The fact is that whatever change
has taken place in Mexico since the
president sent his personal represen-
tative, John Lind, down there to i'm.
press the Mexicans with the high ana
holy purpose Of this government, has
been favorable to the Huerta govern =
ment. Huerta's prompt refusal tn
even consider the absurd demands
made upon him by the president
seemed to please his countrymen
greatly, and he is stronger today than
he was before Commissioner Lind ap-
peared on the scene.
Meantime the war goes merrily on
American citizens continue to be rob-
bed and murdered, their property
looted and destroyed, and the only an
swer to their appeal to their govern
ment is in substance, Get out of
Mexico, or stay there and take the
consequences. The attitude of this
government toward it's citizens in
Mexico is the most humiliating spec
tacle the people of this country have
ever witnessed. The president and
his vaudeville secretary of state pirate
about universal peace while American
citizens are being deprived of their
rights rights in the defense Of which
any other government worthy of the
name if need be stands ready to so to
war

THE NEW TARIFF.

The democrats are now about u
make good their promise to reduce the
cost of living. They have contended
that the protective tariff policy of the
republican party is the mother of the
trusts, and that the trusts are enabled
to extort high prices from the people
because they control all that the peo-
pie eat and wear. Therefore 1t is on
" necessary to remove the barrier
and let in foreign products In order
to bust the trusts and reduce the cost
of living
Grant that 1t will do this, what Is
going to be the effect upon the far
mer and wage Garner? When the
bars are down to the products Of for
eign farms. will the American far.
mer continue to receive the high prices
for his products? When foreign man
ufactured goods are landed here free

ADMINISTRATION CIRCLES RE
GARD PROPOSITION As At
TEMPT TO HUMILiATE HIM.

Secretary of State Bryan today re-
fused to comment on the offer made
him by New York newspaper to-day
to paw him $4,000 year on CONDITION
that he devote all of his time to his
duties and refrain from delivering any
lectures for hire" says a Washing
ton dispatch to the st. Louis Globe
Democrat 1t was apparent, however
that Mr.. Bryan was highly displeased
that such an offer should have been
published by the newspaper in ques-
ton.
! In administration circles the gene.ai
disposition was to regard the offer as
a deliberate attempt to humiliate MI
Bryan. Though not willing to talk foF
publication, officials indicated that
they regarded as serious the fact thu,
the newspaper which has been re-
garded in Washington as the most ar
dent administration paper IN Ne"
York should have reached the point
where 1t was willing to take such a
drastic step, expressing its disapproval
of Mr.. Bryan's conduct in Office.
At the capitol the news Of the offeE
was received with laughter by the re-
publicans and progressives, whereas
the democratic reception Of the news
was with decidedly mixed sentiment
Speaker Clark looked pleased, but sa d
nothing. Representative Frank y

New York Herald).


A special cable dispatch to the
Herald from Paris says that diplo-
matte circles are astounded and AM
orleans abroad Inundated because Of
the reports that Mr., Bryan had begun
to fill series of engagements with
the accomplishments very similar to
that of a refined" vaudeville perfor-
nance. The dispatch adds that the
affair is a creation Of yellow Journal
ism"
1t may be that our European con
temporaries have slightly overdrawn
the case. yet it is perfectly true that
Mr. Bryan is to lecture under "a big
tent at various places throughout
the country, the lecture being preced-
ed and followed by operate rendi-
lions and the allurements Of mag;-
clans, Alpine yoddlers and jugglers.
We do not think there are any burnt
cork artists in any of the troupcs
that will assist Mr. Bryan in enter
tanning and We have not heard that
Annie Oakley, the champion female
rifle shot, has been engaged.
At the same time we do not see
why Americans abroad should be
surprised at this latest
exploit of the "uplift." Mr.. Bryan
has already done great many things

EVERY COUNTY OFFICE SHOULD
BE AUDITED.

The Miner publishes today the re-
port of l.. c. Wilson showing in de-
tail the result Of his audit Of the
books of the sheriff's office covering a
period of four years prior to the be-
ginning Of the term Of the present
sheriff. This, report Is published for
the double purpose of informing the
taxpayers of the exact conditions
found in the sheriffs Office and to
draw particular attention to the i'm
portance of having all county offices
regularly and thoroughly audited The
books of Shoshone county have never
been thoroughly audited Officers
come and officers go, and their mis-
be are buried in the records. No
modern business concern would think
of permitting such methods. In fact
If 1t did it would not be a modern
business concern, nor would 1t long
continue as profitable institution.
The big mining companies of this dis
trict and large mercantile institutions
have their books audited by experts
every year. not because of suspicion
,F Il cha pAestxr oil Z
detect errors and to determine to a
certainty that the books are correct.
The system of state inspection of
county offices is little less than a
farce. This is clearly shown by the
report of Mr.. Wilson on the sheritf's
office The state inspector examined
the books and certified to them as
correct on September 7, 1909, on Sep
TENDER 25, 1910, on November u,
1911. on October 25, 1912, and on May
"a 1918. Now comes Mr.. Wilson and
audits the books covering the same
period and found shortages amounting
to $4279.S3 And his findings have not
been disputed by the persons respon-
sible for the shortages and all but
S1SO2.s3 has been paid in to the coun-
ty.
In the face of this showing it would
seem that no further argument is ne
ccssary to convince the taxpayers Of
the county that complete system of
auditing county offices should be
adopted This is matter that should
receive the attention of the commits
sioners. 1t is no reflection upon the
character or ability of an officer to
have his books inspected and checked
up. The government regularly exam
ines the books of its officers in all
departments, and no railroad company
would think of doing business with
out frequently checking up its local
representatives. Why county officials
who are entrusted with handling the
business of the people should be ex-
cepted from rule that prevails in all
other government affairs and big pri-
vate business is one of the inexplain-
able peculiarities of the conduct of
county business. The system should
be changed.

Mcdonnell Regrets
Ali the Publicity.

A ptthlio statement regretting the
publicity given the young women in
the Kissing" episodes that have
stirred the police department has
been issued by Rev. Lincoln Neon
nell. new pastor Of the Baptist Tab
eruacle. He said:
.'VVhen I saw the statement of the
Young womans mother, | instantly
wrote her letter expressing my re-
gret at having unwittingly been the
instrument Of giving publicity to an
incident which was embarrassing to
her and her daughter.
II stated in my letter to the mother,
and state now. that had l had any
idea that | was speaking of a young
woman or young man against whom
such a charge was dismissed. l would
not have mentioned the subject for
anything in the world.
Il had been informed on the
strength Of the statement OF the men
who made the arrest to their chief
that the circumstances were exceed
inglv obnoxious, which testimony, l
learned after my sermon, was not
that given before the Recorder and
upon which the case was dismissed
"One of the young men arrested. I
understood, nad lpFIelleu MS ColdJ-
eral rather than face the charges,
and this l supposed to be the case in
question. ! have also since learned
that this young man sacrificed his
collateral rather than embarrass the
young lady by bringing her into
court
My sermon was not in any way
based upon the kissing episode, but
merely happened to use that as an
illustration When l spoke of it,
was under the impression that | could
have no more reliable information
upon the subject than that Of the re-
port of the arresting officers to their
chief While I make no criticism Of
these officers. | will say that I would
not believe a statement of any officer
who was not willing to make that
statement under oath before the trial
judge"
