THOROUGHLY SOUND AT THE
 CORE.

"The general wave of criticism which has been sweeping over the country undoubtedly has brought to light many weakness es of men whose virtues have been concealed" said Secretary Bryan in one of his recent lec- lures in which he plead for less undertaking and a larger meas ure of frank, honest, heart-to- heart consideration of conditions of men and measures on their merits rather than upon their faults. MT. Bryan declared that there had been so much criticism of men in nDfficial life that the people were beginning to believe that our @institutions and our method of government are all at fault.
 The situation is not as bad as some of the critics, particularly those disappointed by recent po- llitdI tNtlllS S NoulI HdNt uH pS- lieve. Our public officials are all bcttet than they might be. The public conscience is thor Oughly awake. Our form of gov ernment is not perfect. Il was evolved by imperfect men. 1t was built out of that chaos of his- tory but it is plan of govern- menl that for more than cen tury has preserved the nation from the dangers of mobocracy and the terrors of deSpOtism. It has steadily improved human conditions.
 There is no occasion for alarm over what appears to be an cpl demic of criticism. It is proof of improvement. Il will disap- pear when the evils which arous- ed it have been properly and eff fectivcIy treated and the atmos-; here will be sweeter for the hOusc-cleaning, and praise will |Supplant censure. Criticism can hurt no individual and no insti- tuition that is sound at the core.
