Ia pEPLoRABLE MIsrAKEs


It is Of course obvious that Mr.
Bryan's explanation Of his money max
ing lecture plans readily explains what
can not be readily excused.
He says that he is going To limit his
profits 10 his vacation The last thing
he should be thinking about at this
time is a vacation
The Mexican crisis alone makes any
talk Of a vacation little short Of an
insult to his office.
We earnestly believe that when the
present administration reversed the
former policy Of dollar diplomacy and
substituted the diplomacy OF m1ndlng
our own business in international AZ
fairs it was a splendid reform
But this policy Of hands of illeg1t1-
mate diplomatic problems should make
il all the more essential for the State
Department TO devote a full measure
Of time and attention to legitimate
diplomatic problems. Otherwise there
NAV arise grave doubts in the public
mind as to where a policy Of conviction
ends and where a policy Of convenience
begins
As for Mr.. Bryan's financial sacri-
fees, they constitute a question which
fore he accepted the portfolio Of State
and which cannot be expected to in
terest the public now
That the public has a right to take
the same view that Thomas Jefferson
did in his letter to Richard Henry
Lee, which Mr.. Bryan possibly remem-
.bers, in which he said:
In virtuOus government, and more
especially in times like these. public
offices are what they should be, bur-
thens to those appointed to them,
which it would be wrong to decline,
though fOreseen to bring with them
intense labor and great private loss"
