Action Most Bizarre,
Says Pail Mall Gazette.

LONDON, July l9.-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 ex-
istenCe.
We can quite understand why S12.-
600 a 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
tainer.
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"

Explanation Only Makes
1t Worse, Says World.

From The " Y. World, jay i6D
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 il
worse.
Whether Mr.. Bryan can afford to
take a prolonged vacation at Just this
critical time for the Administra ton
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
must be something less than ques-
ton with the great masses Of the
people whose life he has lived In sym
pathy
The real question is whether the
Government for such position as his

Mexican trouble Tor the past two weeks It would 10
doubt have been discovered that there is fair
basis to settle the trouble in both sections and it
could have been done before this.

i The democrats had very fair day Of it in the
eastern elections Tuesday. The elections were
marked by some surprising republican and social
istic reverses while the National Progressives
went badly also. As a general indication of the
popularity Of the administration Of President VIII
son the democratic endorsements and success are
significant. It would also appear that the rehabi-
litation of the G.. O. p. seems somewhat remote.
More than anything else, however, the elections
may be taken as an indication of the new indepen-
dent spirit of the people. Generally speaking they
voted for and elected the best men. The fact that
they were democrats was not the deciding in
fluence.

Eugene V. Debs is socialist, the most ardent
of them all. He has just finished paying out of
his own pocket debt of $4,000 owed by the
American Railway Union of which he was the
founder. The obligation was not of personal ma
ture, but Debs made it good. Most people cannot
agree with Mr. Debs socialistic theories, but most
people who recognize man, who is all that the
term implies, will respect the integrity of Eugene
V. Debs, who is not only socialist but man
whose honesty and principle are shining example
in time and age when one who is said to be
"shrewd" is rather admired than condemned for
lodging just such obligations as that for which
Mr.. Debs accepted personal responsibility when
it was not necessary or not generally expected.
Debs American Railway Union was the most
practical labor organization that was ever adj
vanced for railroad men. He was honest of pur-
pose when he organized it, honest when he direct
ed it through the great railroad strike that left
it a hopeless wreck and his consistency is doubly
apparently today when he pays from his private
purse it's debts, which might have been repudiated
and forgotten so far as he was concerned, a good
many years ago.
