DO not BE FOOLED.

Let us try to remember that the am
lndment proposition is too big 4 question
/. to he decided on any grounds Other than
: the merits Of the ease. For instance:
/. Let US neither oppose nor support
any public measure because we may dis
like the methods of its friends. We are
not called to vote on methods, but on
a question which is either gO1d or bad,
on its merits. The man whose citizen.
ship runs in that kind of a groove
should be ashamed to bray in the 50
ciety of other donkcyS.
.. If a man tells You that any bunch
of politicians is seeking to plunge the
state in debt without limit. ask him to
give You the p1stof1icc address of ut least
one of those politicians; not necessarily
for publication, but as an evidence of
good faith. He will not do it because
he cannot. You might also at the same
time inquire how any politician will be
benefited and how benefited by the pas
sage of the amendments: That will be
another poser.
3. If a man tells YOU that the adop-
ton of the amendment means an unlim-
tied bond issue. ask him to either ex-
plain how or admit he knows nothing

The proof of a coward lies in the test

some paper-possibly in some other town
that seeks business on the ground that

should be designated by title-in simple
Justice to papers that do not. If 1t IS
an outside paper, it should be exposed

As will he noted there is Il consider
able increase in disbursements shown
for the past quarter. This is due in part
to the increased number of employees nee
cssary at this Office during the time that
the Mexican mails were handled via the
Brownsville %poStof1icc; in part to the
fact that several employees Of the post
office have received increase in their sal
aries; and in part to the expense Of
handling parcel post packages.

He wished to have an appropriation

Kahn didn't like to offend the man

BRYAN and The Chautauqua Cir
, cult

Secretary of State Bryan is
reported in the dispatches as
telling Chautauqua audience
at Henderson, N. c., that he was
filing such engagements for the
reason that his official salary Is
insufficient to maintain HIM IN
Washington and he not only
needs the money, but sees no
reason why he should not exc
out living in the channel OF
Industry with which he is most
familiar.
We don't want to seem captiOus
but we can't quite see 1t Us Mr..
Bryan does. Admit for argu-
ment sake that he is not being
paid what he thinks his services
are worth, or as he puts it, that
he cannot maintain his position
in Washington on $4,000 a year
what then? Many men have
found themselves in like situa-
ton and it is not uncommon to
find them doing outside work.
after hours, but we don't know
of any who have justified them
selves in doing outside work on
the boss time. 1t is usual in
such cases for a man to either
quit or do his extra work on his
own time. We do not see that
Mr.. Bryan can call any of his
time his own so long as he holds
the position he does. Mr.. Bryan
may be a very great man, but If
he can do it he is the first who
was ever big enough to be sec

Foremost among the laws advocat'

At the outset Of the document there

Almost without preface, however, the
