only spread the flames, so oratory
that may lie helpful in avoiding
war at on time may act as a
fire brand at another. 1t would
be we'll indeed at this juncture if
some frien of the Secretary
would warn him that the wise
statesman oefers the discussion
of theories tc a time when his
language may not give counte-
nance to those in diplomatic
contention with his Government
and that the idealism of the
philosopher is one thing and the
obligations Of a high Government
official another. Our own self
respect demands that we should
treat Japan as well as every
other foreign country with cOur-
tesy and consideration, but it al
so demands that we should yield
nothing to the fear Of wal or to
the attempt to introduce into our
diplomacy crank theories on the
subject of peace. To do so is
to make trouble for ourselves in
the future is well as to humiliate
the American people, the vast
majority o. whom do not accept
Mr.. Bryan s theories"

Nov Comes the SHOWDOWN, =

The scheme to convert Goose
Pond into a Public Play Ground
for the use of the children is
admirable and commendable. A
few years ago there were Com
MONS In various parts in Lex
ington where the children could
play. Today there is no place
but the street, and the street is
infected wiSn automobiles by day
and night.
To say That 5000 people don't
care enough for the welfare
and Interest of 1900 children for
a century TO come to give, each,
the price Of a buggy ride or a
round trip to Kansas City is all
nonsense. There is not a man
or a woman in Lexington who
will not be ashamed of failing to
contribute to such a beneficial
project.
Have you subscribed? If not
call on or telephone Walter Wad-
dell, f. N. Hopkins or ]. R.
MOorehead, trustees, the amount
you desire 20 give.
To date 1886 has been raised.
Most Of this sum has been spent
in buying the abutting property.
The next move is to raise the
necessary money to improve the
unsightly place. The success of
the undertaking depends on the
unity of action and public spirit
of the citizens Of Lexington.
SHOW where you stand and
are willing to do your part in
the upbuilding of Lexington.

BRYAN TOO

S~ecretar7 of State Bryan, no
longer a free agent, but, instead,
a servant cr the United States
occupying a position demanding
the greatest conservatism in
speech, is ii the present time re-
ceiving grave criticism for his
u%tterances on the lecture plat
form and at banquets, at the
time when the United States is
involved in such a trying situa-
ton as the Japan issue. Mr..
Bryan has been talking too
long and loud to learn that
there are times and places when
a man occupying the place he oc-
cupies must maintain a dignified
silence, or otherwise bring criti-
cism down upon his own head,
his department and the whole
people Of the United States.
In this connection the Army
and Navy journal, a recognized
service paper Of almost semi-of-
fetal character, under the head
ing, Diplomacy and Oratory,' y
says editorially
1T may be a serious question
whether at this time, when the
air is filled with grave talk of
international complications over
the California anti-Japanese leg
islation, Secretary of State Bryan
is not injuring the United States
by his attendance at peace meet
ings and his declarations that
every question between nations
should be settled in a peaceful
manner. It is very easy for
such language to be miscOnstrued
by foreign jingOes as an evil
dence of rational weakness. It
may not only create in Japan a
misinterpretation of the temper
of the American people but it is
likely to show the people of Cal
ifornia that the negotiations with
Japan are teing conducted by
the State Department through
the intermediary of a dOctrinaire
who is actaated more by devotion
to his abstract theories of right
than by I Just estimate of the
actual conditions confronting the
Californians." . 3 .
"We do not question the sin
cerity Of ilr. Bryan in making
these banquet and convention
pronouncements, which are all
the more dangerous perhaps be-
cause of the reputation of the
speaker for honesty of purpose.
The unfortunate thing is that
apparently Mr.. Bryan's ignor-
ance of the effect such utterances
as his in promoting the very
wars they seek to avoid.
